Misleading Ads negative
Many users downloaded the game based on advertisements that showed different gameplay, often resembling Tetris or other block-dropping mechanics, only to find a different block-placement puzzle game. This leads to strong feelings of deception and frustration.R2R5R12R17
Excessive Ads negative
A pervasive complaint is the high frequency and long duration of ads, often appearing after very short gameplay sessions. Users feel the ads are intrusive, unskippable, and severely disrupt the game experience, with some calling for an ad-free paid version.R43R62R79R86

Specific complaints include the removal of the ability to rotate blocks, changes to visual contrast, and a general preference for older versions of the game.

Gameplay Mechanics mixed
Reviews are mixed on gameplay.
