Fix some bugs
Recurring themes
Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy classic block puzzle games and are looking for a casual, mentally stimulating experience R3R4. It might appeal to those who don't mind frequent interruptions, or who are willing to tolerate a high volume of ads for free gameplay .
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to ad frequency and unwanted game changes. This contrasts sharply with the high lifetime rating, suggesting a recent decline in user experience. The developer's update notes are too vague ('Fix some bugs') to address the specific issues raised by users regarding ads or forced game changes.

- [R3] Block Crush: Wood Block Puzzle: A really great new puzzle that will challenge the mind and become more intelligent!
- [R4] Block Crush: Wood BlockPuzzle: The game is very fun and challenging. I could play it for hours!
- [R9] Great (addicting): I love this so much I just maxed out on the top level 6601! Play both versions. I like the second one better than the first. First is only wood blocks. Second one has cute little characters I’m be added in the blocks that get released. So much fun!
- [R15] Block: This game is a lot more challenging than other black games really fun
- [R1] Block crush wood puzzle: Find this game childish and easy compared to game it replaced. Graphics nice but no challenge so far.
- [R17] Download ASAP: Great graphics, hours of fun!
- [R69] Games: Fun games and great graphics
- [R11] Relax: Enjoying the game!
- [R42] Reply: Relaxing
- [R65] Fun: I find this game fun & relaxing
- [R21] Ads!!!: Way too many ads that are slow to move on
- [R28] too many adds: I don't mind paying for things, but the ads are overly aggressive. Makes me wanna get rid of the game.
- [R29] Ad every 30 sec!!: Fun game, but had to delete it. Too many ads
- [R32] Too many ads!!: Too many ads!!!!
- [R26] What Happened?: I really enjoyed this game. Then 90% of the different puzzle options stopped, saying new puzzles/levels were coming soon, and they never have. How disappointing!
- [R73] Mr Alessi: Why do you keep messing with people playing yours just leave us alone!!!!!!!😩
- [R80] Ends Too quick: Games are too short and too much information after each short game, enjoyed the classic versión better
- [R92] Why?: They changed the game completely. Went from move the block to Tetris.
- [R16] Bait and switch: Ad has different game you never get to play.
- [R35] False Advertising: You advertised this as having no annoying ads and that is not true.
- [R107] Block puzzle: I don't like that it advertises blocks with animals and objects shapes but then you can't play them because they're not offered
- [R25] Bad Game: Go away don’t want to play your game. I was already playing a game and you popped up. Go away.
- [R59] This is a fun game, but…: This is a really fun game if you could get past the constant pop-ups wanting you to download a bunch of other games. This occurs after every level, and I’m getting to the point where I’m gonna delete this game. If I didn’t download it the first 40 times that I saw it, you can bet I will never download it now.
- [R111] Games: I don’t want to play games all the time. You push them at me like you thought I had nothing else to do.
- [R118] Annoying and aggressive ad: Very annoying and aggressive it does not leave the screen even if “x” out several times
- [R43] Ads Ads and more Ads: This would be a really terrific game, were it not for the ridiculous number of ads. And if you wish to remove the ads, it’s $30 a year. I have no problem spending a nominal amount for a game that I enjoy. I believe developers should reap the rewards of their creativity. But not only is $30 a bit much, if you sign up you’re signing up to an automatic renewal every year. That’s
- [R62] Ad crazy: I really like this game but the number of ads is ridiculous. I play other games that are free and nowhere near the amt of ads. I would even pay to remove ads but no option to do so.
- [R114] Too many ads: Too many ads and there is no way to purchase or subscribe to get rid of them. In this version of the game, you get trapped and can’t get past the ad without closing the game.
- [R148] Where is the Ad Free version: Fun game, but if I can’t get ad free with a paid subscription, I’m deleting. That would be a shame, because it really is a fun and relaxing game. PLEASE ADVISE
- [R83] Simple: Too easy!
- [R45] Frustrating: Won’t download the game. It’s a hit or miss if it let’s me download the game FRUSTRATING
- [R66] Strange during play: Strange unexpected screens pop up and cannot get back to the game.
- [R34] Need new games !,,,: When ?
- [R303] More Levels: I have been playing this game for quite some time however I have reached the end and it is stating more levels coming soon. Soon meaning when? Will I have grey hair by the time you release them
- [R98] Too many ads!: Does anybody know what you can do with the coins? All I ever see are ads to buy more coins!
- [R102] Block crush: I hate being forced to upgrade to a different format, I loved the game as it was. Being forced to “upgrade” to a different format stinks. I will be deleting this game
- [R105] Terrible, give me back the original version: Terrible, give me back the original version
