Tile Master - Classic Match +12

This is one of my favorite games! Several different ways to play and fun options for tile art. Love the newer block game addition.

Subtracted a star for this downside: I often stream music or podcasts while playing, and it’s really annoying that muting all sounds and having my phone on vibrate doesn’t extend to the sound in ads. They come on automatically between levels/games, and cause my separate streaming to stop. It’s also embarrassing when in public for an ad to suddenly come on loudly bc I forgot to turn volume all the way down (why would I when my phone is on silent?). I understand I either have to pay to remove ads or watch, but if I’ve muted music and sounds, silent mode should extend to ads.

As the title of this review states, there were little to no issues in the beginning. The problem was the game itself making some levels impossible to beat. I get that at times, making a few wrong moves can lead down a bad path to completing the level. I get that.

The problem was, anytime I got stuck after a certain level, I’d hit the revive button to change things around and return some tiles and watch an ad for a while to return back to a match that was once again impossible to finish. Only to be pushed to buying coins in order to move on. It’s ridiculous that when given the chance for a revive, it didn’t even give me the possibility of completing even a single set. Then be directed to revive for coins. It’s set up specifically to make you spend coins or completely restart. This happened a few times and I was just over it. I deleted the app and won’t go back. It is a decent game overall and fun for killing time, but became too frustrating that watching ads to be revived wasn’t enough to let you continue the level for a chance to complete it. The game is worth a try, just keep in mind you’ll find out quickly the game sets you to fail.

I’ve been playing this for about 3 months. It is so annoying not because of the challenge of the game but because it has too many problems. THEY BEED TO IMPROVE THIS GAME A LOT!!!! The game is very USER UNFRIENDLY in that the rewards are so stingy compared to other games. Often when you complete a series of games and the treasure chest opens for rewards, it gives you the option to double your rewards by watching a video, but half the time there’s a technical problem and you can’t double the rewards.
Then when you get stuck in the middle of a game and you go to watch a video to reveal more tiles, you get a response “ads loading” so you can’t do it. You are then forced to use up points you’ve accumulated whether you want to or not. Why is that happening?? Maybe to force you to spend money eliminating ads if you don’t have points of your own but you still want to play. Most recently when an ad comes on, the screen goes black and it cancels your game even though I was about 75% thru already. So I wasted my time playing, can’t end the game, can’t collect points. Whoever put this game together did a very poor job. THEY NEED TO FIX ALL THESE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS TO MAKE IT AN ENJOYABLE GAME. THERE ARE MANY OTHER GAMES OUT THERE THAT ARE FUN AND CHALLENGING WITHOUT ALL THE ISSUES THIS ONE GAS. NOT A PLAYER FRIENDLY GAME AT ALL!!!
