Toon Blast remains a popular and addictive puzzle game, but recent updates and progression to higher levels, especially the Champions League, have led to significant frustration among long-time players due to increased difficulty and perceived pressure to spend money.

Latest update · v23056

Recurring themes

Difficulty & Monetization negative
Many players report that the game becomes excessively difficult at higher levels, especially in the Champions League, leading to a strong perception that the game is rigged or designed to force players into making in-app purchases for coins and boosters. This contradicts the developer's claim that levels can be solved with the right booster combination.R5R7R8R14
Ad Experience negative
Players report issues with ads, including false advertising for the game itself, ads not being available for extra moves when needed, and ads causing crashes or blocking gameplay. Some long-time players note that the option to watch ads for free lives disappears at higher levels.R1R15R22R29
Bugs & Performance negative
Users experience various technical issues including the app freezing, glitches causing lost power-ups or incorrect scoring, and the game not working or closing itself. Some also report random in-app charges they didn't make or overcharging for purchases.R13R17R21R31
Rewards & Mini-Games negative
Players express dissatisfaction with the rewards system, noting that requesting lives often doesn't work, rewards for winning are often 'useless cards', and gold cards are too hard to collect. Some mini-games are described as boring or incomprehensible, and some have disappeared after updates.R3R45R48R59
Updates mixed
While the latest update promises 50 new levels, some users find updates too frequent, and forced updates during play can lead to losing progress or infinite lives. The new Champions on Stage episode with 50 new levels (developer notes) is directly criticized by users for being too hard and making them want to quit.R5R7R11R19

Who it's for

Toon Blast is for casual puzzle game enthusiasts who enjoy matching colors and are looking for a relaxing time-waster, especially those new to the game or who play infrequently R2R12R38. It's also for players willing to spend money on in-app purchases to overcome difficult levels R24.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, with a 'recent-negative' signal of 0.348, which is higher than the lifetime rating suggests. This indicates a declining user sentiment, particularly among long-term players experiencing later-game content. The confidence in the negative points is high due to the sheer volume and consistency of complaints across multiple reviews, many from users who have played for years. The positive points are also well-supported, but less prevalent in the recent sample.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Kids game of stock blocks: The blocks are already stocked and what’s more fun than knocking them down!! It’s almost like when we were kids. But this goes faster and it’s easier than lining them back up to do it all over again.
  2. [R8] 1/5 · US Buh-bye. TRUTH: Here is the truth about Toon Blast: At first you love it. For a few hundred levels, it is addicting and fun. I wanted to play as much as possible. Then, oops, the levels started getting frustrating. So, of course, I started spending a few bucks to pass levels. You know, to relieve the frustration. I tried to not spend much money. Really. I tried. But the levels got harder… too
  3. [R9] 4/5 · US Love: Love love this one so much
  4. [R10] 4/5 · US Game: It’s a fun game to play
  5. [R12] 5/5 · US Toon Blast is……: Toon Blast is so relaxing. You have so many mini games to play and I’m pretty sure that once you get on a higher level, then the games get more harder, which makes it more fun!!!!!!! 💗💖💝💞💕😍🤩😝☺️😀😄😃💕💞💝💖💗

  9. [R16] 5/5 · US Love it!: Great game been playing for years love love love
  10. [R18] 5/5 · US El mejor juego lo tengo desde 2018 ya hacen más de 8 años que lo juego: Me encanta este juego pero ya terminé todos los niveles y tengo que esperar por 50 niveles más deberían de hacer más niveles no 50 sino 200 niveles para poder tener más oportunidades de ganar más estrellas adoro este juego
  11. [R23] 5/5 · US Fun time: Super fun awesome game I have been playing for the past 5 years, my go to when I have nothing else to do. I just love it.
  12. [R30] 5/5 · US Review: Love the game and been playing it for over 10 years now. I am very happy that you brought back the commercial for free guys keep up the good work
  13. [R5] 1/5 · US Champions league sucks: Why must I play this? Just leave the regular levels. I was stuck for 4 days last week. They are too hard. Thinking about deleting this game permanently.
  14. [R7] 3/5 · US Love this game but: The championship league give us very little moves the regular levels are not like that it’s making me not like this game and I’ve been playing for yearssss
  15. [R24] 3/5 · US Toon Blast: Game was super fun and great. Then the levels got to hard and it’s almost impossible to beat without cash money being spent. If you’re willing to pay you’ll enjoy the game.
  16. [R14] 4/5 · US Love the game, but: I understand why games never let you win “everything” without buying something. But for a wonderful fun game, this is my pet peeve.
  17. [R22] 2/5 · US Waste of time: The game just wants your money even if you spend like a dollar you will stop getting ads for free extra moves this game is just a cash grab. I can’t wait till they go bankrupt and take down this BS game
  18. [R29] 1/5 · US Got me Sitting through all these Ads: And then the game resets and wants me to spend all my coins. Let’s not forget when it doesn’t even give you the option to watch ads. Oh, so conveniently. When you don’t have enough coins to continue. You don’t even deserve one star
  19. [R33] 5/5 · US Earn coin: We cant get a coin by seen a commercial video
  20. [R1] 3/5 · US Not the one: Thought the game was what they showed NOT
  21. [R15] 1/5 · US False advertising: This game is nothing like the advertisement. Total BS.
  22. [R127] 1/5 · US The video is fake: The game is nothing like the video, I hate how every game now shows misleading videos of the gameplay.
  23. [R61] 5/5 · US Its ok: Its not like the adds on the first couple of levels but i just got it and its already addicting and theres not alot of adds !! Love this
  24. [R11] 1/5 · US Updates: Its starting to update too much for me
  25. [R19] 5/5 · US Fun/challenging game BUT…..: The updates every now & then, it’s just getting ridiculous! I mean, it’s almost like every 10 levels or so, it needs to be updated for “God knows what”!! Anyway, game itself is fun & somewhat challenging and definitely worth it BUT that main thing is that updating needs to chill out & such 🙂
  26. [R241] 3/5 · US Game play: When you get so far in the game it’s not fun anymore and they keep wanting to update over and over … they also make it where you can’t pass a level unless you spend money
  27. [R323] 3/5 · GB Updates: I hate the champions league and would prefer to play levels. It’s annoying that you don’t get the choice. Then when the champions league is finished the game takes hours to update. So if you’ve got infinite lives or tools that have only last 30 mins you lose them.
  28. [R17] 4/5 · US Help!: Why do I get 1 point instead of 3 when pass A level now? Is there a glitch ? That gives me 1 pickax! AND I get 3 stars, I need 3 point each Could smear please fix that? Again. It’s doing it again! I won 2 in a row, I got 3 stars for each. I did even use all my moves both times. I got 2 stars the 1st, 1 star this last one🤷‍♀️
  29. [R21] 1/5 · US Cheats!: This game total cheats. I have seen it where an arrow would go through something but it won’t go away. Sometimes I feel like it just wants you to spend money. No longer worth playing. Why give us arrows and bombs but creates no place to play. Absurd!
  30. [R31] 1/5 · US Poor service: Your app freezes causing me to use 300 coins unnecessarily. I email support to tell them the problem and I get no answer back. This app sucks.
  31. [R51] 2/5 · US Ads: I was playing a super hard level. I got to the end and was offered to watch ads to extend. The ads were not ready. Over 5 minutes later, still not able to see the ads, I exited the game. I went back in and all but 6 coins were gone. The game stole them!!! I want them back!!!
  32. [R48] 4/5 · US Clean up: Tired of all the activities offered when I just want to play the game. I don’t care for the cards either.
  33. [R59] 4/5 · US A bit disgruntled: I’ve played this game for years and I have to admit I am addicted, however, the card collection is very annoying. I have never even come close to getting all the cards. I think there could be a better game than that. Also, when watching ads for extra moves, the game sometimes says ad not ready and it’s never ready and therefore you lose the extra moves.
  34. [R65] 1/5 · US Toon Cards: Done playing. It’s been fun playing for years. Finally have had enough with toon cards Worse add to the game.
  35. [R71] 3/5 · US Cards are a waste of time: Used to be fun but I’m tired of the useless cards always being the “reward” for winning.
  36. [R45] 3/5 · US My Pocket FM rewards are missing: I downloaded this game through pocket fm for free coins and it just stopped giving me my free coins no matter how much I play
  37. [R62] 1/5 · US DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME: I downloaded this game after joining freecash and have been playing it nonstop in order to meet my goals for freecash. I won several booster that were never awarded. When I contacted support they did not even acknowledge my issue and accused me of “changing” my time to get free lives. I purchased a beginners pass that awarded me several unlimited lives for for 15-30 minutes
  38. [R73] 3/5 · US Random charges: I’ve been playing this game for probably 10 yrs. Always loved it and still have fun. I’ve been noticing random in-app purchases that I did not make. I am the first to admit that I spend money on this game but I played today for 5 minutes, never purchased additional coins or packages and received a notice that I was charged today.
  39. [R141] 3/5 · US Over Chage: Fun game. Bought coins and they overcharged.
  40. [R13] 2/5 · US iPhone: Fix
  41. [R3] 3/5 · US Requesting lives: Frustrated that requesting lives NEVER works
  42. [R20] 1/5 · US Payment method: It’s ridiculous that you have to put a payment method in!
  43. [R301] 3/5 · GB Coopers rally?: Where’s Coopers rally gone? Since the latest update it’s disappeared. That was the best bit about this game…the free hours plays, twice a day from Thursday through to Sunday. Bring it back!!!
  44. [R370] 3/5 · GB Improvements needed: This was a really enjoyable game, but it has been changed significantly over recent updates. It is now much harder to earn coins (removal of daily challenge). Levels are definitely harder, needing coins or hours of time to pass. Gold cards are few and far between (I have given up any hope of ever winning the big prize). The Deep Sea Quest is boring. The Temple Guardians gam
  45. [R400] 3/5 · GB No mini games: I’ve been playing this game for many years, it’s a great time waster! Good fun BUT despite the advertising there are NO mini games to be found
