I don’t like leaving negative reviews for a game I really like, but when I clicked the button for app support, it takes me to their company page that talks about the people and has a career page but no option for tech support, so that is my first complaint. If you don’t offer tech support, don’t put a button for it in the App Store. I really do love this game, but two things are incredibly annoying. The first is the ads that take over the page when I’m in the middle of playing a board. Seriously?? Someone thought that was a good idea?! Then I end up not having any control where the piece I was trying to play drops because it’s behind the ad that comes out of nowhere and takes over the page. The other, and really annoying, thing - and it’s somewhat that was changed to do this a couple years ago by some awful decision, is when I place the final block and there are no moves, I don’t even get to see the placement of that block and confirm there are no more moves because the game disappears and an ad comes onto the page and I never get to analyze the board to see if that piece really was the final one or what else was could have done differently. At least go back to how it used to be where we can place our last piece, and if there are no more moves, just put that text out there and let me see that for myself instead of an as taking over. And then let me click okay and then you can play the ad.

When I saw it, it was right up my alley, loved it! Very addictive and fun in concept..But…. The ads were brutal and still are but I actually figured that one out (thanks for giving that option, and I don’t mean buying my way out) When I first got the game, I was feeling my way through it like you do, you know seeing whats what. Well, when playing like the novice I was, you know, making random selections to see what’s what. I actually got my high score the first day, that was with zero understanding of the game, and certainly no strategic moves yet.. Ive been playing ever since and like to think my moves have become way more sophisticated and thought out, I mean really using strategy to further my cause. I’ve played hours now, I mean exhausting hours, and have yet to get even close to my high score I got the first day.. I get it, do what you gotta do to get us in the door, but come on!! This really is impossible to further, the moves on your end seem less and less random and more heavy handed on preventing us from moving along.. Which brings me to my first experience of playing the game, you know, where I got my high score on the first day.. If you were able to give me that experience then you’re able to give me this frustrating experience. So, now I look at this game as fixed and not a game of my abilities, which kills the spirit I had in the first place when bought the game. So, there ya go, do what ya will with this, which I hope is something. Thanks

The concept of this game is great. The problem is that it ultimately just winds up being luck. And that’s super frustrating for people waiting to play and ultimately master games of skill. There’s simply no ability to manipulate pieces in any way and so if you happen to catch a bunch of big pieces that don’t fit well, the game is quickly over. You might have an almost entirely cleared board, but then get a hunch of weirdly shaped pieces and there’s just nothing you can do. I feel like this really takes away from the fun of it since these games rely heavily upon momentum. This game absolutely obliterates any momentum that you might have in its refusal to allow for ANY kind of undo or block manipulation. I mean, even just having 3 “explodes” that you could play per game would make an enormous difference. I definitely think the ability to rotate pieces should be a focal point of the game. And then perhaps even those 3 “deletions” per game or something like that that I mentioned. But there’s just no way to combat runs of bad luck and so like I wrote, that really takes away from the enjoyment of getting good at some kind of strategy. It’s otherwise very well done, but the amount of fun you can have is severely diminished by the luck. It also really seems as if the game was programmed to NOT actually give you random pieces as they frequently just happen to be exactly the opposite of what you need. So it does seem that there is some algorithm at play that reduces your odds further.

Recently it’s been extremely laggy, which unfortunately causes me to “accidentally” place tiles where I never meant to place them. I have a newer phone and nothing else on my phone lags (and this game didn’t use to, either!) so I’m leaving a 3-star review in the hopes the developers will fix whatever issue is causing the game to lag. In effect, I try to pick up a tile and it doesn’t move, so I lift my thumb off the screen, and because of the lag, the tile finally DOES move—and gets plopped somewhere on the board randomly. Very annoying!Other than that, I really like this game. I notice a couple of reviewers saying the game seems rigged against them, providing the wrong tiles. Personally, I feel that it forces you to think about your strategy by not giving you obviously easy-fit tiles as you progress to a higher score. I like that and it makes me feel like my brain is getting a good workout. I was initially quite frustrated with it for that same reason but noticed that as I played more, I could see that the strategy isn’t really to fit all the tiles neatly together, but to almost do the opposite: take as many wins as you can, even if the board looks a little messy. I feel like in that respect, it’s a really good strategy game that is a rare find amongst most games which are more about luck or very surface-level strategy!
