  4. [R26] Block Blitz 5/5 · US Good game: Good game I love it cause this remind me other game we play as a kids
  5. [R1] Block Blitz 1/5 · US WAY TOO MANY ADS: I’d like to enjoy this game but there’s so many freakin ads, I can’t get more than a few seconds play time before ANOTHER ad plays. C’mon. Do better!
  6. [R3] Block Blitz 3/5 · US Pretty good game: I only gave it three stars because it does pay but has ads ever three seconds and that ain’t much of a exaggeration you don’t even get a full game without at least two or three ads
  7. [R4] Block Blitz 1/5 · US Game play ads?: Not sure why ads ooo up in mothers middle of play, but caused me to delete the app immediately.
  8. [R7] Block Blitz 1/5 · US Game play is fun BUT: The constant interruptions for the ad breaks makes the game unplayable. Zero stars.
  9. [R25] Block Blitz 1/5 · US Chop: Glitching
  10. [R43] Block Blitz 1/5 · US 👎👎👎: The game is honestly horrible in my opinion. Way too many ads and glitches. I’d much rather play block blast over this disgraceful game.
  11. [R45] Block Blitz 3/5 · US Block blitz: It keeps acting up like not erasing the previous blocks when I’m playing the game and trying to progress to beat the levels
  12. [R49] Block Blitz 1/5 · US freeze: its almost constantly freezing!! idk y
  13. [R8] Block Blitz 5/5 · US Game: Amazing
  14. [R14] Block Blitz 5/5 · US 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
  15. [R18] Block Blitz 3/5 · US Fun Until WAY TOO MANY ADS: It’s was entertaining until the ads become too much! Understandable they need to make profit from ads, but the every 1 min interruption ad breaks and the LONG looping ads to “try again” is overstimulating and extremely annoying. Honestly feel as player my time is valued. I rather watch brief ads before or after completing the game or utilize SHORT ads for extended time/
  16. [R62] Color Block Jam 4/5 · US Good but: It’s good but there’s not enough time to finish the puzzles and I don’t want to play it anymore might delete tbh
  17. [R66] Color Block Jam 3/5 · US The timer spoils it: The aggressive timer to finish each level spoils what could’ve been a great, relaxing game.
  18. [R67] Color Block Jam 1/5 · US 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.
  19. [R69] Color Block Jam 3/5 · US Timer ugh: This game would be great if you could turn off the timer
  20. [R85] Color Block Jam 1/5 · US Can’t play without wifi: You used to be able to now you can’t, because of greed I suppose. Sad.
  21. [R120] Color Block Jam 3/5 · US Needs work: Fun game but it drains my phone battery like no other app it’s insane. Also not available to play without wifi which is really annoying
