Latest update · v1.20

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Fix some bugs

Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number and length of ads, which frequently interrupt gameplay, often after every level or even upon app launch. Users describe them as 'aggressive,' 'endless,' and 'unplayable' due to the interruptions. This issue is so severe that many users delete the game.R21R28R29R32
Forced Updates/Changes negative
Many users are frustrated by forced updates that completely change the game's format or replace it with a different game entirely, often without their consent. This leads to a loss of preferred gameplay and a feeling of being 'tricked' or 'messed with.' The developer's vague 'Fix some bugs' update note does not address these significant changes reported by users.R26R73R80R92
Engaging Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, a significant number of players genuinely enjoy the core gameplay, finding it fun, challenging, and a good way to relax or stimulate their minds. Some appreciate the 'wood block puzzle' aspect and compare it positively to Tetris.R3R4R9R15
Monetization/Ad Removal negative
Users are annoyed by aggressive in-app purchase prompts and the lack of a reasonable ad-free option. The reported price of $30 per year for ad removal, especially with automatic renewal, is considered too high and prevents many from subscribing.R43R62R98R114

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.

  10. [R65] 5/5 · US Fun: I find this game fun & relaxing
  11. [R21] 1/5 · US Ads!!!: Way too many ads that are slow to move on
  12. [R28] 1/5 · US too many adds: I don't mind paying for things, but the ads are overly aggressive. Makes me wanna get rid of the game.
  13. [R29] 2/5 · US Ad every 30 sec!!: Fun game, but had to delete it. Too many ads
  14. [R32] 2/5 · US Too many ads!!: Too many ads!!!!
  15. [R26] 1/5 · US 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!
  16. [R73] 1/5 · US Mr Alessi: Why do you keep messing with people playing yours just leave us alone!!!!!!!😩
  17. [R80] 2/5 · US Ends Too quick: Games are too short and too much information after each short game, enjoyed the classic versión better
  18. [R92] 1/5 · US Why?: They changed the game completely. Went from move the block to Tetris.
  19. [R16] 2/5 · US Bait and switch: Ad has different game you never get to play.
  20. [R35] 1/5 · US False Advertising: You advertised this as having no annoying ads and that is not true.
  21. [R107] 2/5 · US 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
  22. [R25] 1/5 · US Bad Game: Go away don’t want to play your game. I was already playing a game and you popped up. Go away.
  23. [R59] 1/5 · US 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.
  24. [R111] 1/5 · US 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.
  25. [R118] 1/5 · US Annoying and aggressive ad: Very annoying and aggressive it does not leave the screen even if “x” out several times
  26. [R43] 1/5 · US 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
  27. [R62] 2/5 · US 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.
  28. [R114] 2/5 · US 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.
  29. [R148] 3/5 · US 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
  30. [R83] 3/5 · US Simple: Too easy!
  31. [R45] 1/5 · US Frustrating: Won’t download the game. It’s a hit or miss if it let’s me download the game FRUSTRATING
  32. [R66] 1/5 · US Strange during play: Strange unexpected screens pop up and cannot get back to the game.
  33. [R34] 1/5 · US Need new games !,,,: When ?
  34. [R303] 3/5 · AU 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
  35. [R98] 2/5 · US Too many ads!: Does anybody know what you can do with the coins? All I ever see are ads to buy more coins!
  36. [R102] 1/5 · US 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
  37. [R105] 1/5 · US Terrible, give me back the original version: Terrible, give me back the original version
