  1. [R4] Color Block 2/5 · US Not good: It’s copying block blast and is not challenging not that fun don’t recommend
  2. [R5] 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
  3. [R6] Color Block 3/5 · US Color block: So… just get block blast! This game is fine but it’s lowkey a knockoff! And some of the game is weird and want to be able to track my score like in real block blast. I won’t delete this but…. I like block blast better!
  4. [R14] Color Block 4/5 · US Okay: It's fun but every time you get a all clear your background should change like block blast
  5. [R1] 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.
  6. [R13] Color Block 1/5 · US Fun but…: It cannot be deleted from an IPhone once it’s installed. It looks uninstalled but it’s sucking your data sitting in your system & hidden data.
  7. [R19] Color Block 1/5 · US App Crashes: Since the latest update, I can no longer play the game in classic mode. After placing two pieces, the game crashes each time I try to place a third. I tried to go to app support but didn’t see contact info.
  8. [R7] Color Block 1/5 · US False advertising: Like all the developers are doing now, this game does not play as advertised. Don’t bother getting it. I’m deleting it right away.
  9. [R16] Color Block 2/5 · US This is not like the ad at all: It’s nothing like the ads I have seen for this game
  10. [R3] Color Block 3/5 · US Really bad: Too many adds knock off of block blast and it isn’t fun Do not download if you are board and developers fix this please and quickly or I will delete the app thank you but otherwise a great game
  11. [R10] Color Block 1/5 · US I paid for no ads, now they are back: I love this game, I find it very relaxing. The reason I went with this version is because it seems to be the only one that offers an option to pay for no ads. However, with the latest update, suddenly I have ads again and I’m not able to restore my purchase. Trying to figure out how to contact the developer.
  12. [R33] Color Block 3/5 · US Continue to not have a "journey": I complete a journey then it is 2-3 weeks before another journey is released. When the journey is shown, most of the time I cannot gain access until I write a poor review. The only reason I keep the game is because honey it's my favorite. Please fix this:)
  13. [R30] Color Block 3/5 · US Not the same for everyone….: All 4 of us have this game, we love it and challenge each other to beat high scores etc. We have the same iPhone 16 pro, same os updates and same 7.3 version of the combo blast game. For my husband, my youngest and I, we bought the No Ads version to save some sanity. My oldest son didn’t need to, he just scored a free no ad version. Has never seen an ad, has never paid
  14. [R58] Color Block 1/5 · US No ads: So I paid to upgrade so I would no longer see ads, and love the game. Unfortunately I continue to get ads. Do not buy the upgrade!!

  17. [R79] Wood Block Puzzle Games 1/5 · US Ads: Unfortunately I see more ads than I do of the game which makes the whole experience frustrating and not enjoyable
  18. [R83] Wood Block Puzzle Games 4/5 · US Great game, but the ads……🤦🏼‍♀️: I really like this game. It’s addictive and fun. A great way to relax. The only problem I have with it is the ridiculous amount of ads you have to endure after every single level. I understand having to watch an ad if you fail a level, but in this game you even have to watch an ad when you pass a level. And some of the ads are hard to get out of. My new shortcut is
  19. [R18] Color Block 3/5 · US What’s the point if you can just get block blast? But it’s fun i guess: I will get block blast and color block and block blast is just the same thing bro just add a update that is not a copy paste of block blast or something else
  20. [R66] Wood Block Puzzle Games 3/5 · US Please Fix!!!: I love this game. It’s very relaxing But Recently, the game keeps resetting & losses all of my progress.
  21. [R78] Wood Block Puzzle Games 3/5 · US Fun, but progress is deleted: I was halfway through Journey mode when it had deleted all of my progress. Apparently this is a regular occurrence. I’m going to delete the app.
