Tile Link - Match & Connect 4+

Would have 5 stars BUT….

I would have gave the game five stars because I love it that much. It helps me pass the time, I use it at work and at home. The only thing I find truly irritating though is that the moment I decide to pay $4.99 for the coin package that removes all the ads is when you decide to take away the option to watch a video for three extra moves. I know I’m not the only one that depended on that, and it’s very frustrating. It’s also extremely frustrating to have to find out about it through customer support because I thought something was wrong with my game. Please return the three extra moves by watching an ad. Then and only then will I decide if I should rate you five stars.

Entertaining (if u just breathe thru the quirks)

So far, I am enjoying the game for the MOST part. I do give it 3 1/2 stars because of the quirks here & there. For instance, when I want to add on 3 more moves at the end of a game by viewing an add, it'll tell me… Sorry! Having trouble connecting. Meanwhile, I've just watched 5+ adds prior - with NO problems. It doesn’t happen every time, tho. 'Frustrating! And, it does crash once in a while, but I have no problem restarting. Also, so far, I don’t have trouble getting out of an add (playing tag with the "Done" & ">>" buttons). That can take away the enjoyment! (ARGH!)
I do like that there are all levels of difficulty as I go from one game to the next; it hasn’t gotten increasingly difficult to where I want to "X" the game. The game is still introducing me to new strategies; it is still interesting & entertaining. I don’t know what game # I'm on, but I just got introduced to balloons 🎈!
I do thank you for your time making it!

Challenging But Don’t Spend Real Money

Tile Link is a mental challenge to be sure, and pleasantly addictive, especially on airplanes. But don’t be suckered into paying money for more moves or tokens. Why? Because the developer runs the algorithms, of course, and can control just how hard to make each game so as to compel you to spend a couple dollars a day buying advantages. Ponder that for a minute. They want you to win 4 in a row, and then frustrate you enough during the 5th game that you shell out a few $$.

I’m at level 675. Every 4th game or so, winning appears to become impossible. Nothing falls my way. This is when the algorithm is deliberately making things hard so I shell out money. But I know the rhythm and don’t give up. I might fail 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, but eventually I get a game to play that is fair, and win. The transition is real obvious. All of a sudden, everything is falling my way.

Imagine playing poker with a card shark who uses marked cards. It might be fun playing and trying to beat his stacked deck, but don’t forget for a minute that it’s not a random chance game, and every time you win it might be because he made things easy for you.

Don’t view Tile Link as merely a game of random chance and skill. View it as a tease, and a con, and avoid spending real money. $2.99 a day sounds like a pittance, or the price of a latte, but that’s $90 a month or $1,000 a year. The ad revenue should be enough for Tile Link.
