Challenging progression using endless mode to gain exp. for the campaign. Keep wishing I had more block space. Definitely not Tetris. Endearing and original art work. Don’t like that the top half of the screen is dead to touch. Also, I seem to have discovered a bug wherein some blocks will become unclearable regardless of match. Always at the bottom of a stack. Couldn’t reliably replicate but have seen it a few times.

Let me start with compliments. This game has a great novel concept for a match battler. I also give it high marks for the story concept, artwork, and music. I understand ads are a part of this industry. But when presented with the sole option of viewing an ad to progress the game, a player should not hear “thunk” when you press the watch ad button signifying the game will not permit your choice of action. I am also concerned about my current-generation tablet “running hot” when playing this app. I keep my screen brightness to a minimum and no other apps were running in the background, so I know those are not the cause.

I have been wanting to try this game out for the longest time. My reluctance was with ads for f2p and the initial purchase price for full content. You have listened to the masses and put a price that I...and most who love Tetris and battling games are more than willing to spend. I am enjoying the game as I thought I might. My only gripe is the sensitivity of the controls. When I drag too lightly the block rotates when I never intended for it to. I have not switched the settings from swipe to tap yet so hopefully that resolves the issue. Other than that it is a great game.

Match Mountain has a satisfying mechanic and level progression, pleasant music and aesthetic. But I find myself increasingly frustrated with the buggy block movement. Sometimes blocks skip a side in rotation; 3/5 times, hitting the next button rotates my block as it drops it, spoiling my plans. There is occasionally an issue with parts of blocks getting stuck. Also, maybe this is a planned mechanic, but when I match lightning tunes AND regular blocks in a drop, shouldn’t I do both spell damage and regular damage?
