Magic Sort‪!‬ 4+

This is a very fun app. I’ve enjoyed the numerous hours I spend playing this app. However, I wish the app gave some time, like a minute or two to let players know there’s no other option when it’s a stalemate. It’s hard to learn my mistakes when there’s not even a second to look at my mistakes. The only way to learn to play this app better is to be able to look at what other options I could’ve made. On one level, it took me a couple days to get to the next level. For those 2 days, I watched hundreds of ads just to repeat my mistakes. On the second day, the ads were the same ad so I started spending more time on the buses ad since it allowed me to play without installing the app. The buses app is the same principle as Magic Sort, except it added an IQ as to how well you played. Twice on that ad, my IQ was 415, a perfect score, virtually impossible to have that high IQ but it was a feel good ad/app. Thanks for Magic Sort but please delay the “no other moves” screen to allow players a chance to see what their mistakes.

It is a fantastic game and I love playing it. However, the “super hard” levels are virtually impossible to beat unless you have a power up, which you can only get by getting coins, which you rarely have opportunity to get anything significant to buy the power ups unless you spend actual money. Or, you are stuck on a level forever until you manage to get enough coins to get a power up just to escape by playing the daily game. And the ads are ridiculous. It is obvious this game attempted to follow the “Royal Match” games because the assets and mini-games are virtually the same, giving the impression it will be similar, yet they have made the game play to where purchases are almost required to get through or you end up deleting, which I will be doing. As a suggestion: If you are going to attempt to copy Royal Match’s style to get players, do better. And here’s a perfect example: Made it all the way through the little mini game you have to beat 10 levels to split 10,000 coins, beat two super hard levels first try then on level 10, the last coin level to beat, and EASY level. It’s an impossible win. That’s the problem. It’s nothing but a push for people to spend money. EDIT: I figured out the trick! Don’t play the competition mini games and you’ll win again. As soon as you are competing, even the easy levels become difficult. I tried it several different times just to test my theory. Every. Single. Time. Deleting today.

I love this game. The graphics are simple, yet appealing. The game play can be very soothing for someone with high stress levels. The prizes are fair, to an extent. I didn't realize when I downloaded this game that earning the prizes would be as difficult as it is. While I can play and win three sets in a row, once you hit the fourth, you either have to pay coins or use the prizes you won to continue on or give up. It makes it difficult as you can’t hold your prizes for long. There is not really a consistent incentive for continuing for higher prizes because once you give up, you start at the bottom again. And even though some of these levels are “easy,” they are still just as hard as the “hard” or “super hard” levels making it difficult to progress in the game until you solve it or pay for it. I do not have the money to pay for more coins or the prizes.

I wish you’d have something like a continuation in prizes instead of having people start over if they give up or lose a set. Or missions of some sort that continue on so the incentives are a good reason to keep playing your game. I love this game, but with the frustration I get from trying to pass a level, I’m not sure if this is the game for me anymore. I’ll keep trying for a week. If it doesn’t get better, I’m deleting it. I’m sorry… it is a great game otherwise!
