- [R2] Color Block Lots of fun: It may be the same thing as Block Blast (and is most likely a copy) but it’s very well done. Plus it’s nice for if you need to get around age restrictions for the original.
- [R4] Color Block Not good: It’s copying block blast and is not challenging not that fun don’t recommend
- [R6] Color Block 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!
- [R8] Color Block Fun: Fun, but kinda boring after a while
- [R1] Color Block 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.
- [R3] Color Block 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
- [R5] Color Block 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
- [R10] Color Block 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.
- [R7] Color Block 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.
- [R13] Color Block 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.
- [R16] Color Block This is not like the ad at all: It’s nothing like the ads I have seen for this game
- [R19] Color Block 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.
- [R27] Color Block Why?: The game was great. Why’d ya’ go and change it?
- [R12] Color Block Adds: Too Many adds but it’s fun. Done
- [R58] Color Block 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!!
- [R84] Color Block Jam What did I pay for: Paid like $8 for this game but once you use your 5 lives you have to wait to play again or pay more $. So what did I pay for? Annoying. Hate stupid apps like this. For $8 let me play the damn game.
- [R103] Color Block Jam Going to delete: Way too many ads and too frustrating with the allotted time. I found another game different game to play. Also, I paid for no ads and I still get the damn things. I’m out
- [R61] Color Block Jam want you to spend: too many hard levels that require in app purchases to pass. not fun after awhile
- [R64] Color Block Jam Lies!!!: ALL TIMERS - very short - LOTS of ADS - don’t be duped - I’m deleting!
- [R66] Color Block Jam The timer spoils it: The aggressive timer to finish each level spoils what could’ve been a great, relaxing game.
- [R67] Color Block Jam Horrible: Timing is so unnecessary and ruins the whole game. The 5 lives thing also ruins it. Have to wait 30 mins for the lives to restore. Would rather play another game than this. Fix your game.
