Tap Away 3D 12+

Yes it has LOTS of ad, but if you enjoy it pay to get rid of the Ads. I love that the puzzles are achievable to complete and challenging at the same time, not having to waste money on purchasing additions to complete. I find the bombs useless and unmanageable. You can achieve different skins as you process but so far found the best one is the one you start with so I wouldn’t waste money on skins.
There are two issues that bug me.
1. The zoom is terrible, especially when you get to higher levels and the tiles become quite small. There’s no control to the zoom, it’s either tiny or huge! In huge scale you lose your prospective and makes it hard to identify the blocks you can clear. You really need to work out the tiles to clear before zooming. If you accidentally hit a tile you can’t clear, that’s a moved used. People with big fingers will have issues here without zooming in. My fingers are quite small and I have this issue once the ties are quite small.
2. I can’t work out how to use the bombs. I manage to clear most levels without them but there are times you need to use a bomb, there seems to be no control on where you want it to explode, it just randomly knocks out one tile and not one that is at all helpful.
If the zoom was better and you could select the tile you want the bomb to clear I would give a 5.

The game is good and easy to just relax your mind. But after the recent adjustments on the level playing mode, it makes me want to honestly delete this app.

It used to be great with minimal interruptions (5s ads every 20 taps or so), now there’s “levels” of achievements you can get within one round and “special blocks” that forces you to click on it (otherwise the actual game blocks are, well, blocked) and receive more money. On the surface, this sounds amazing. Who wouldn’t want more money? But as it turns out, it is an actual nuisance to the game where I used to be able to just play for hours on end.

A great example of trying to improving a UI that was good, but the UI is now inundated with useless features.

The number and frequency of interruptions to the flow of this game make it impossible to enjoy. There’s golden blocks that you have to click on to clear, then either watch an advert or wait several seconds to clear the bonus points notification. Not such a problem if it only happened once or twice per level, but it happens every 10 seconds, and every time it comes up with a patronising text such as “incredible! You’ve found a special brick!” No it’s not incredible, there’s hundreds of the buggers interrupting the game.
Then there’s endless notifications about moving up a grade or however they call it, every time you’ve cleared 20 bricks or so, instead of by completing a level. And again you’ve got to click to remove the pop up. Often this happens literally one or two blocks after a golden one, so there is just no way to get into the flow of the game, even when you watch it on flight mode to cut out the insane number of adverts.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow adverts to play on full volume when the game sound is switched off, deserves to be tied to the main speakers at a rock concert. Seriously, there is a reason we’ve got the sound off.
