I wish I had read the reviews before making my purchase. Would have answered my questions. Played up to level 60 and decided I really like the game and was willing to pay for the ad free version. I too initially thought I was purchasing a different game. The same someone else mentioned in comments. The one with black and white squares. This game has a similar type of play but it was definitely not the game that I thought I was downloading. But- I think it’s a great game in spite of the discrepancy. I’m addicted! However I was still getting some ads. I got an ad every third win when was offered a good number of coins. UPDATE. A FIX! Click CONTINUE instead of claim and apparently you get the coins and no ad. Now- I have not reached the point in the game that the time bomb pops up. NO TIMER was deciding factor to purchase. I will trust the developer’s promise that one can ignore the time bomb and continue playing. Perhaps a setting to turn off the timer is a good compromise as it seems like many players do not want it at all. (Yay! Timer was removed in recent update!)I think too there needs to be a better description of the features like the locks etc. perhaps a simple list in a help menu.

So I’ve been burned by buying a few other games. They say you won’t have ads but you always do. So frustrating! But this game really does honor that statement. There’s one screen in the game that pops up and says “Claim” and you need to choose “continue” (which is under the claim button). Do that and you’ll never have to watch an ad. I’m so glad I bought this game. I think the game is great for keeping my memory sharp. Keep at it and your problem solving will keep improving. Thank you game developers.

I really liked this game at first. I don’t play games with timers because I play to relax. I picked this game specifically because its main advertising point was no timers!! I even paid for no adds. Total waste of time and money!!Because at level 120 the added difficulty comes in the form of a ticking time bomb. If you don’t clear that block in time you must pay coins or watch an ad (which I paid to not have to watch???) to complete the level. Interesting point is that once you return to that level and the bomb piece is gone, the level now has the about the same complexity as level 15 or 20. This was super disappointing. What a ripoff!! Take my money and then add the two things back in that I hate about mobile games!! One of which I paid to have taken off!!! Don’t waste your time or money if what you interested you in this game was the “No Timer” promise.🙄

Disclaimer: The game DOES NOT allow continuation after bomb without paying coins. Mine charges 900 coins to continue. However after playing it for a while, I have come to realize that the bomb blocks can always be figured out with some logic. It does challenge my mind which I appreciate and it’s a smooth moving game. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into creating this game.
