I have played many iterations of this matching type game, and this is by far my favorite. The music is great, the graphics are good and the puzzles are FUN. The game is very thoughtfully designed to STAY fun and introduces new, fun elements as you move through the levels. The collecting of stars and rebuilding of the factory is satisfying because of the graphics, but I have played games of this type where the actual puzzles themselves became a boring grind just to collect enough stars or $ or points to continue to world build. The most important differentiator of this game is that, unlike the others I have played, it is quite possible to have fun and play this game without spending money. Unlike the other games, I don’t feel that they hook you in and then eventually make it so difficult that you HAVE to spend money to advance. I am approaching level 600, and the only money I have spent is to treat myself to something fun in the game to support the developers, not because I had to buy more tools to advance in the game. And.... THEY SUPPORT LANDSCAPE MODE. I have decided to nope out of games that don’t support landscape mode on my ipad, so this is a big plus for me.

This is a terrific game. It has all the whistles and bells that one might love in playing. It’s one of those games where you have to match three items together, kind of like candy crush sure, well you know there’s hundreds of them out there.And there’s another special attraction to this game where are your building the chocolate factory with each win as you move forward and up. Also, there’s other special prizes or gifts with each new conquest.The real problem with this game is that it’s driven buy money. I had played this game probably for about two years and it was challenging at times but I managed to get through. One incentive for you coming back every day was that you would get special prizes but would help you to accomplish or conquer certain levels. That feature was changed and now there is no way to get certain key gifts like the gobstopper and without special gifts you cannot finish the levels. That is of course unless you pay for the premium to get those special gifts.Shame on you guys. You took a fun game and made it into your monetary requirements.I highly recommend are you not to get involved with this game only to be frustrated

My two favorite phone games are Willy Wonka’s World of Candy and Disney Blitz. And honestly I love the Willy Wonka game more because of the detail the artwork the ability to create your own factory, it’s fun. But because of this issue I’m sorry to say Disney Blitz is still better than the Willy Wonka game. Why? Because they use the same live system as well, play a match and you use a heart you only have 5 hearts max once you’re done using those you have to wait for a respawn of those hearts. In Disney Blitz it only takes 10 minutes to get another heart plus you have a spin the wheel for a chance at three and once a day watch an AD for another three hearts. In Willy Wonka you lose a game and you lose a heart and it takes 30 MINUTES for another heart to come back annnnnnd other than using real money to buy more lives there is no other way of getting more lives. I think that’s the suckiest thing ever. I have to wait a long period of time to play again which honestly makes me not want to play due to me being impatient. I love this game however I highly recommend but I can’t really play it all the time when I have to wait so long for a life to come back 🙄

I used to love this game and the reviews from earlier are right - the 'plot' is fun, graphics are good, and the levels are challenging enough. But lately the game is chock full of ads for zombie games (ie Survival) and other things I wouldn't want my small kids to see, so parents be careful if you're letting young ones play on your device. Also the game is frustratingly glitchy. Ex: you can opt to watch an ad to get extra lives, but after the ad it frequently has an error and fails to load the extra lives. Or occasionally it will freeze at the end of a level, so you have to restart the game. Finally, it used to be a game you could play mostly offline but now every ~5 levels there's a challenge you HAVE to be online to play, and the challenge lasts multiple days. So if on a road trip or plane without great cell service too bad, you can't play it at all. This used to be my go-to game but they've kinda ruined it with the constant zombie ads, glitches, & this new online requirement.Just a note for those saying the game forces you to spend $: I'm on level 2114 and have never spent a dime in the game. You don't HAVE to buy lives or coins to beat the levels, but some are really difficult & take numerous tries.
