I’m on level 235 and I have to agree with everybody as this game is absolutely addictive! And of course the amount of ads are ridiculous, especially when I read that someone, and probably many, paid money not to see Ads. And many come toward the end of the game, when you only have six seconds left or little as 2 and then they play an ad! Problem with that and the worst about it is that you’re losing 2-3 seconds each time an ad plays that has cost me the game. Especially at the very end of the games where you have little time to solve I’ve already lost 10 seconds through out. It’s caused me many games. Many times they play an ad when there’s only three seconds left in the game. And you’re absolutely right you get into the groove of the game and it does screw you up. Royally! My main issue is I have a tendency to always select 2 that match then another 2 and the The third is not available, looking after a solid minute sometimes, and once I hit another block, it finally scrambles, it’s just waiting for that point but when you lose a minute in this game that’s way too much,But the game already knows that and they’re not assisting you in anyway. And sometimes it does not scramble blocks and and I have to wait it out until the seconds are gone, if there is ? Block, I have no choice but to hit one but you know that’s no guarantee set a time as far as I’m concerned that shouldn’t matter but the computer seems to think it does, I guess, usually ends a game loss.

I’m not a “gamer” but I saw this game and it seemed interesting.This game is SO MUCH fun but the advertisements play in the middle of the game, which would be fine if some of the matches weren’t timed. I’ll be doing well, have just a few seconds left and trying to remain calm and focused because victory is SOOO close and then BOOM an ad will pop up. And it can last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 seconds. I’ve tried tricking the system by closing out the app when the mid-game ad runs and sometimes that way seems quicker but once I return to my game some of my previously cleared tiles will no longer be cleared, so either way it’s an aggravation. You can pay $5.99 for no ads but it doesn’t say for how long that is supposed to last and if you read about it online, some people have paid the $5.99 and still get ads… so I’m not wasting my money. I’ve been struck on level 53 for a few weeks and between the frustration from never coming close to passing this level and the mid-game ads, I’ve just about had it with this game. So I went online to get some pointers on the game, which I’ve never done before, and I can’t find anything useful. And what are the cards about? Maybe I can’t find anything online because I don’t speak the gamer lingo… but that shouldn’t matter because my son and his buddies aren’t playing Cube Masters, I know.

It feels like even if I could consistently click groups of 3 I wouldn’t be able to clear all the blocks in the allotted time. I’ve been working this level for a few days and don’t know that I’ve ever cleared half the blocks before time ran out. Additional feedback: I’m still working on level 259. Nine minutes simply is not enough time OR there are too many different images/blocks to match. I’ve passed previous levels with about the same size board and had 20-30 min. The “score” (I think that’s the number in the upper, left corner really gives no indication of how close to completion you are at any given point. It would be nice if this was a percentage or points/total points possible. Then, when time runs out, that score should carry forward to the screen prompting you whether or not you’d like to continue. I’ve already bought the app in order to avoid the ads and I have no desire or intention of buying coins or anything else. I am frustrated with this level. Also, why does the game reload when you minimize the app and come back to it? You lose all progress you made and have to start over. Another update: still working on this level. Definitely getting further along but still no where close to completing the level. I refuse to pay anything other than what I paid to go ad free. Disappointed.

I really enjoy this game. So it’s an absolute shame (and a really scammy tactic) that even after paying $5+ to remove ads, you will still be forced to view them as the game goes up in difficulty. As you get further, the levels get so much harder that it’s impossible to beat the clock. If you can’t beat the clock, you start that level over, but you only have so many chances to do that. Since the time limit is so short, you will inevitably use all your “lives” and then will have to either buy time, or watch ads to buy time to continue your level. Really, the object of the game is to force you to pay more. I don’t know about you guys but when I pay $5 for a supposed “ad-free” game on my iphone, I expect to actually be able to play that game, and not see any ads. As it is, you may get two days of enjoyment before the levels become so tough to beat, you’ll still have to watch ads, or dish out more money if you want to continue enjoying the game. There does seem to be a way to start over at the lower levels and just play to feel zen, or zone out. There is no “enjoyment” mode where you take your time to complete a puzzle. Total waste of money.
