Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most frequent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, appearing after almost every level, restart, or action. Users report spending more time watching ads than playing, with ads often being long and difficult to close. This directly contradicts the developer's general 'bug fixes and performance improvements' note, as ad-related issues are a major performance hindrance.R2R4R7R8
Ad-Removal Cost & Efficacy negative
Many users find the price to remove ads, typically $19.99 or £19.99, to be excessively high compared to other games. Furthermore, several reviews indicate that even after paying, ads still appear for certain game functions, leading to feelings of being scammed.R2R7R12R24
Graphics & UI Changes negative
Recent updates have introduced new 3D graphics and bottle designs that a significant number of players dislike. They describe them as 'weird,' 'atrocious,' and 'bad,' making the game harder to focus on and less enjoyable.R30R41R55R58
Relaxation & Mental Engagement positive
Despite the issues, many users praise the game for its ability to relax them, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide a good mental challenge. This core appeal is what keeps some users playing despite the frustrations.R5R6R10R13
Glitches & Performance negative
Some users report glitches, such as being unable to navigate back to the game after an ad, the app suddenly closing, or the game freezing at certain levels. This contradicts the developer's claim of 'bug fixes and performance improvements' in the latest update.R3R114R159R186

Who it's for

This game is for individuals who enjoy relaxing logic puzzles and don't mind frequent, long ads, or are willing to pay a premium price for a potentially imperfect ad-free experience R2R7. It is not for those who are easily frustrated by ads, expect a truly ad-free experience after purchase, or dislike recent changes to game graphics R30R41R55.

Evidence note: The recent review sample is heavily skewed towards negative experiences, particularly regarding ads and graphic changes. While the lifetime rating is very high, the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction, especially with monetization practices and recent updates. The positive points are primarily about the core gameplay concept, which is still appreciated despite the issues.

  9. [R9] 5/5 · US Great game.: It's great. It's got ads but atleast the game is great.
  10. [R32] 3/5 · US Fun Game at first BUT….: This game is really fun at first. I remember playing this game as an ad at first. I craved to play the actual full level so when I downloaded it, I was so excited. The game is fun at first but gets VERY repetitive. They add new elements to the game but then don’t used these elements in harder levels as the game goes on. From level 600 to 700, it’s all the same thing over a
  11. [R50] 2/5 · US Pretty Okay…: I do like this game and I’ve been addicted to it. It helps me relax. I’ve also been using it to gain points with Fetch. However, I’ve never had my phone heat up so much from one game! I believe it’s not related to the phone model. Is there a way a way to fix this?
  12. [R67] 5/5 · US One of the funnest games: You’re so fun everybody hasn’t tried it. You should get it.!!!!!!
  13. [R2] 2/5 · US Awful amount of ads.: I’m usually ok with some ads in free games, but this one is way too much. Gets to the point it’s really annoying and frustrating. Every single time you need to restart, or add anything, or when you complete a level. I’m done. Also, the money they want un order to go ad free is way higher than most games I play and have gladly paid for to avoid ads. It’s 4 times higher in
  14. [R4] 3/5 · US Kick me out while playing to show ads: The game was enjoyable until after every single move, the game kept getting interrupted with an ad for a very similar game. It constantly kept interrupting making it impossible to keep playing. Very frustrating!
  15. [R7] 1/5 · US Ads too much and expensive: The game it self is fun but after every one game and ad will play and it’ll be at least 30 secs long. And paying for no ads is 19.99 bucks!!! (At least 20 bucks) Usually most will pay about 2.99 but this it’s over priced. I really liked the game but I wish the ads were shorter and not too much of a constant pop-up. And the ‘no ads’ purchase was less expensive. 🙃
  16. [R8] 1/5 · US Awful: Literally you get ads everytime you complete a lvl it never stops it’s way too much.
  17. [R12] 1/5 · US RIDICULOUS amount of ads: fun game, the amount of ads is sickening. after every single level and more. UNPLAYABLE and to get rid of them it’s like $20
  18. [R54] 1/5 · US $20 for ad free?!: You’re on one if you think $20 for an ad free version, OR an ad or 2 after every level is fair? Spend more time closing adds then I have playing the actual game. I really enjoy it which sucks. Can’t do the ads anymore. Level 80.
  19. [R24] 2/5 · US Warning: Very addicting that I ended up paying for $20 for no adds option - mind you first time I ever paid for such a thing. Well it’s a scam!! The ads are still constant! Do NOT purchase that option. You’re still getting ads. Ridiculous. No ads means NO Ads.
  20. [R85] 1/5 · US Rigged for Ads: The ad version was so annoying because the ads were so long. I spent as much time watching ads as playing. So I purchased the game. Guess what? Then they lock you into impossible wins unless you watch more ads to get bonus help. 🤬 A waste of time and money. I found a much better app that actually relaxes and challenges me instead of frustrating me. Deleting it even though I p
  21. [R266] 3/5 · GB Ads ads ads: Its a really good game but i cant cope with the ads anymore. Ive played this for weeks, ive paid for the full version but the higher levels are so difficult you have to watch an add to either undo, or get a tiny extra pot. If i could pay for completely add free or use my win tokens to get pots, id prefer it but at this point i cant play it anymore.
  22. [R327] 3/5 · GB Adverts!! 😵‍💫: I enjoy this game and paid £10 to remove the ads. BUT there are STILL ads for certain aspects of the game. I feel cheated and has put me off playing. What a SCAM!!
  23. [R30] 3/5 · US Bad update: This was one of my favorite and most played apps up until the new update. The graphics changed and they got weird to look at so I ended up deleting the game.
  24. [R41] 1/5 · US Making it 3D was awful: Change the format back. This 3D look is atrocious
  25. [R55] 2/5 · US BRING BACK OLD BOTTLES: I love playing this when i have a little time on my hands. I hate the new bottles please bring the old ones back.
  26. [R58] 3/5 · US Not like the New graphics: Not liking the new graphics Harder to play I probably won’t be playing as much Not sure why it was changed Really liked the old game before this recent June 2026 update
  27. [R3] 2/5 · US Ads cause glitches: Please update to all ads to be used for the free version, however, glitches need to be fixed. I have to SHUTDOWN and close out the app in between every level because even after watching the add or playing the mini game, there’s NO WAY to navigate back to the sorting app.
  28. [R226] 3/5 · US Glitches: This game glitches SO BAD! I love it when it actually works but it’s so annoying
  29. [R225] 3/5 · US Entertaining: This game is fun and entertaining, but can become boring because the puzzle configurations don’t change much. This company teases with interesting puzzles to get you to download then presents the same old bottles with a tree or frog sometimes change up. Ads are too much… after you play 1 or 2 games you get ads. Game will not play and want you to purchase coins in order to continue p
  30. [R57] 2/5 · US Latest Update June 2026: The custom flasks were taken away and I’m unhappy. I rolled with a groovy-looking flask that I earned with my coins. Ads playing between every thing I do was already annoying. Think I’m going to put this game down, now. I was super addicted.
  31. [R59] 1/5 · US What the heck happened: Lost all my levels? Not even sure how this happened. Is there a way to fix it and restore my levels? Tried sending g a message but no reply as of yet!
  32. [R262] 3/5 · GB Lost Progress: I loved this game, and i got rather high in level but it doesn’t save your progress to continue on another device, so i had to start at the beginning again, which sadly made it difficult to get back into. Please create a log in to facebook to save progress for those who change devices so we can continue where we left off.
  33. [R88] 3/5 · US Not for color blind people: Some of these a color blind person can see different shades to figure them out but with this one, some of these shades are so dark, they look identical to the background. If they went with more of a pastel color, it could work.
  34. [R114] 1/5 · US Game frozen: I have been playing this game in Eureka for many days. At level 124 it stopped working. It says I have to complete a column to move on but there none that can be completed without the release of more colors. What happened - I have lost several days of play because of it.
  35. [R159] 3/5 · US You have a bug I think: Every time I get a second add to the bottle for another portion (so it’s the second one) I can not select it after getting the add on. I click it and nothing happens. I thought it was just that game so restarted it won that game got offered the next level and I add another part of the bottle so 2 high and it would let me select to poor into the cup.
  36. [R186] 3/5 · US Report problems: All options are activated by watching ads, and coins are only used to buy bottles and screens, and they are useless. Coins should be used for other options as well. The app suddenly closes when playing on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.
  37. [R73] 3/5 · US Too many Ads!: There are sooo many ads in this app it is ridiculous!!!!!! Oh but I can pay $20 to have them ‘removed’ why would anyone ever do that?! That’s like paying to watch commercials.
