Ignore the star rating. This game is decent, don’t get me wrong. I would give it a 3 star rating. The amount of ads in this game compared to the quality of it is poor. There’s two ads in between every level, and when you’re finishing levels quickly, you’re watching more ads than you’re playing games. And I understand this is how people are being paid to create this, is through ads. But, the game just isn’t good enough to understandably have THIS many ads. It’s decent, but the graphics and things just aren’t top notch. There has to be other means of income for these creators whether that’s a membership or better deals to purchase power-ups. Or, better the app. Make it worth while, or worth purchasing an ad free version. Right now, the app isn’t good enough for me to want to purchase anything, when I can simply download a better version of this popular game, and play with less ads and better quality.

This game is unplayable because of the 75% of the time you spend trying to close ads. This is a true shame, because the game is fun. I am OK with an ad displaying between levels. I get it; nothing is free. But with this game you have to opt out of up to 5 screens to return to play. First you get the usual page, or two 😡, that gives a delay before displaying the X in a random corner; then you get a screen with the countdown X that makes you wait 5 seconds; then you get a screen that will not display the X until you launch the App store, which must be closed; then—if the gaming Gods are smiling—you get a final ad screen that you can close and play the level. Then, adding insult to injury, the first game-level screen is often a screen prompting you to cash in bonuses or purchase them, which has to be closed to actually get to the game. Give me a break! Again, I am OK with an ad. In fact, many of the games I’ve downloaded have been thru an interesting ad. But after I decline that first solicitation, what makes them think my mind will change if they show me 4 more ads for the same freakin’ game? The worst offenders are for Royal Match and Gardenscapes. Is there anyone who wants these ubiquitous games that hasn’t already downloaded them? Deleted. 😢

Two big issues. First is the ads. I’m glad they’re short, usually manageable to deal with, especially when looking at previous reviews where it sounds like they used to be much worse. But, it’s still incredibly annoying how much they pop up, even after having just watched one. I’ll watch one in between levels, but if I switch apps real quick, or let my phone lock (even accidentally), it throws another ad up, even while in the middle of playing a level. Also, the price of disabling ads is, frankly, far too highSecond big issue, is the targeting line. It is incredibly frustrating at times because it is not entirely accurate to where I’m aiming. I could be aiming at a certain block, that might be cutting it close to another block, but the targeting line shows a clear path to the one I’m aiming at. But when I fire, it hits the other block, completely ruining the shot that I was shown to be able to make because it seems that the path the targeting line is showing, and the path the balls actually take are two different paths. It’s an incredibly frustrating mechanic (or bug?) in an otherwise actually pretty fun game

This game is very addictive, and I have enjoyed it. The only reason I’m not giving it a five star is because of the weekend missions. We can missions are currently trendy with video games, but this one misses the point. The weekend missions consist of three levels that you have to get through to get bonuses. Unfortunately some sadistic programmer set it up where if you fail on the second or third mission, you have to go back and redo the first or the first and second. This makes the missions almost impossible because you have to get the second and third right on your first try after passing the first. In addition, the weekend levels are not easy, so it becomes nearly impossible. This makes what would otherwise be a fun challenge so frustrating that itge game itself is not enjoyable. There is a secret “bug”/“cheat”That lets insiders definitions without always going back to the first level. I have no idea why they would ever program the cheat in, unless you knew the weekend missions are so unplayable hard that the programmers cannot test them.
