  1. [R1] Candy Block Puzzle Blitz 2/5 · US Not like the graphic & same as 20 other games: The main App graphic blatantly represents a version of Tetris, but it’s not at all that. It’s also identical to like 20 other games. It just has prettier colors than the others. Also the other similar games at least give more shape variation, like rotating the shapes. Maybe you have to play a lot more of this to get those, but it’s just more boring t

  12. [R65] Color Block 5/5 · US I voted this 5 stars so you'd see it: All of these reviews are quite frankly speaking lies saying it's a Good game . It lowkey has way too many ads it's lowkey that kids who are saying block blast is 18+ bc block blast is 13+ and way better bc it acc updates this fake copy is unoriginal and doesn't update. And the game is rlly slow don't even get me started and they say they update to fix bugs but
  13. [R30] Candy Block Puzzle Blitz 3/5 · GB Too many adverts: The game is pleasant enough - frustrating at times but enjoyable - but those adverts every time - it's beyond belief to the point where it's simply not worth it !
  14. [R61] Color Block 2/5 · US Color Block: When I can play the game, it’s great but then up pop the same ads as Block Tok and I can’t make them go away - especially the ads for upgrading the game. Very frustrating. I shut off my computer to get rid of them or I leave the game and find a game more user friendly.
  15. [R21] Candy Block Puzzle Blitz 3/5 · GB Seriously addictive ... but ridiculously frequent ads annoying: I love this little game - very addictive and simple. The ads have started to pop up literally after every round now, so I may just delete it cos it’s getting really annoying.
  16. [R39] Candy Block Puzzle Blitz 3/5 · GB Great game spoilt by adverts: this is a fairly addictive game, I love it, but every time you finish a game, before the next one will start, you have to watch an advert for another game, some of which make you participate before you can close the ad. Really frustrating.
  17. [R70] Color Block 1/5 · US I paid for no ads, now they are back: I love this game, I find it very relaxing.
