Another update: I’d like to play this on my other iPad, so normally I’d use “Restore Purchases” to go ad-free with that one too — if I could find it. There isn’t even a settings button afaict. Update: you don’t get to pick which pieces to remove, so I guess that feature was working even when it didn’t seem like it. I almost never pay to remove ads, but did for this one, so now I get better flow :-). I’m enjoying this game — the ads are bearable and it’s relaxing. But the “watch an ad to remove pieces” feature has stopped working. After the ad, instead of letting me remove pieces, another ad pops up and then I’m right back where I was with nothing. There’s no way to get out of a failed game, but at least I can play other levels, though only up to 30. I’m also confused that the game let me sneak out pieces by moving one out before a blocking one bounced back, but only a few times. Another glitch, or a non-working feature? And there’s no info, I had to click the remove ads button to get the name of the game and then search here to review it. So OK, good enough, but I’m cooling on it.

I downloaded Tap Master on my iPhone 14 Pro and was quickly addicted to this challenging game. I was using the free version so adds would pop up at the most inopportune time and I’d sometimes lose my place in the game. I rarely pay for games and never do in app purchases but I decided to pay the mere $5 to remove the adds on Tap Master since it was clear that this game holds my attention, is challenging yet winnable and has 500 Levels. I started enjoying the game even more and thought it might be even better on the iPad so I downloaded it to the iPad. Unfortunately the game started me at Level 1 on the iPad when I was on Level 132 on the iPhone. Same Apple ID on both devices, logged into Game Center on both devices, performed restore purchases on iPad and restarted both devices with no change. Is my progress stored locally and not in the cloud? Is there a way to pick up on one device where I left off on another? Tried to send an email to the developers from their website but it wouldn’t send. Also all the on screen buttons get in the way sometimes and they get pushed by mistake. Very frustrating when you’ve been playing for an hour or so and reset the game by mistake. Please fix this. - 1 StarIn summary I do love this game, would like to see some minor changes, highly recommend and will continue my quest to conquer Level 500.

I have been playing for a week or so and find the game challenging and somewhat relaxing. However, the add framework is quite frustrating. Every few blocks tapped to remove brings another add to disrupt the flow and strategy of the game. Adding to the frustration is that many of the adds are repeated over and over and some take several clicks to move past them with many having quite long exposures. It is really counter productive to repeat the same add over and over again during the same game. It tends to polarize me against it even if I was slightly interested at first. I realize you make your money by presenting the adds, but you also need to keep the game flowing to continue to attract the players.I appreciate your response. Upon further reflection, and some experience on other games, I propose a couple of add modifications. 1) Don’t repeat the same add over and over again in the same game. 2) Base the add start on number of blocks either by count or by percentage of total blocks in the puzzle, don’t use elapsed time. At some point in the puzzle, I was getting an add after a single block due to elapsed time either because I took a break or had trouble finding the next free block. 3) If a user lets an add finish rather that cut it off, Allow the game more blocks before the next one and don’t use that add again. All of these suggestions will let the game flow more smoothly and provide a more satisfying gaming experience.One other suggestion is to have the game collect statistics on the game play, length of play, number of blocks total, blocks per minute, number of block removals requested, just to name a few that came to mind.

While I love the concept and excelled quickly there are options and puzzles connected to the cube elimination game that I never learned what to do with them. You find a puzzle piece hidden in each cube puzzle that goes to complete one of several other 2D puzzles. Once you have completed one of these puzzles you earn a colorful cube… not sure what or how the coins are accumulated or how the cubes earned correlate to the coins and cube block puzzles. Then there is a paint and infinity option. Idk if I purchased paint with coins or cubes or puzzle pieces… but it changed the whole look of the original puzzle and made it much easier to complete by showing me which blocks to tap to delete. Now I was going faster but not as challenging. Wish there was some tutorial or guide to show how to play so I wouldn’t tap on options I don’t want. If you have a weakness to quitting challenging games don’t get hooked on this one!!!!The worst part is the ads. They pop up and immediately if you are a fast tapper take you to either an App Store or their website or both. I spent more time closing each of these tabs or pages to get back to the game and would loose my place when on a good trail of deleting cubes. I guess that is their plan to get you so frustrated with the ads that you will pay them to play ad free. Not me… I’m out. 🎤 💨
