Please offer ad free purchase option
Wed Mar 09 2022 YA-aholicI love this game but the ads with every merge are destroying my fun. I know 64 and higher trigger ad, and the recent update does not give ad for all merged 64+ if you did a lot in one turn. This is great. Extends the play of the game before it crashes. But okay I g for ab hour straight with ads on over 95% of the turns is torture and causes the game to crash. And if you had a good turn with a high merge, you lose it. It goes back like 3 turns after a crash. So now I’m super hesitant to shoot if I just got a high ball. Anyway, I would absolutely love the option to pay to remove the ads on the merged balls. It is okay to leave the ads on the double rewards, but to skip, or no thanks I think is how it is in the game, I would love to pay to skip. I have looked a few times to see if it is added also to see if contact or support info was added. None of those. But please, please let me buy no ads!!!!!!!! I would play this more ti es throughout the day and I think it would help improve crashing. (I take a break when it crashes and if I am getting too annoyed of ad after ad after ad then I take a break because it is not happy. This game is happy so when it gets not happy I need to step back. I still play every day. Thank you. I love this game. You combined my 2 favorite games from a few years ago. I was very happy when I found this game. Thank you.
Great game, but EXTREMELY BAD GAME BREAKING BUG!
Sun Jan 23 2022 FrogPlusCloneEqualsFronePlease read this whole review, if you listen you can really improve the game.
The game is very fun and satisfying to play, which is why this game gets 5 stars. But there is a very game breaking critical bug with how the game saves your progress. Very large numbers (perhaps larger than the 32-bit integer limit?) do not save correctly and are replaced with 0s when you refresh the app. This includes balls, which means really big balls get 0’ed and become useless, and also blocks, meaning they can be broken immediately. Heart power ups that remain on the game board after a refresh of the app also do not save correctly, and are replaced with randomly placed balls.
The 0 ball has the same appearance as a 8912 ball (green, electric appearance). It is totally useless and can only break 0-blocks which are also the result of this bug. If there are two they can merge together into a single 0 ball, basically eliminating one.
Perhaps balls and blocks data should be saved as doubles or floats instead of integers?
Or save balls as ascending numeric values? (2=1, 4=2, 8=3, 16=4, 32=5, etc) and the balls will use the equation 2^x, where x is the saved value, to determine how powerful it is.
Thank you for reading this entire review, I hope you will consider fixing this bug, as it messes up the flow of the game. Thank you.
Great overall BUT game-breaking bugs
Sun May 19 2024 PoisonJupiterSo I’ve literally never written a review for a single app before, but this was so incredibly frustrating that I felt like I had to. Overall I love the game. It’s simple, satisfying, and a great casual game to play. HOWEVER I just came across a bug that completely broke my game and made it quite literally unplayable. I tried refreshing the game and using items, but nothing worked and it kept resetting everything except for the items/boosts/whatever I used trying to fix it (which was extra annoying bc that meant I then had to rely on and hope ads would help, they didn’t)
I was really enjoying this game and was having fun (I didn’t even mind the ads I normally detest bc of how relatively few I got) but the moment this popped up and made it impossible for me to continue playing I got frustrated and upset because the only possible solution is to delete and reinstall the game entirely (and I’m not even certain that’ll actually work)
Needs update
Fri Sep 02 2022 Tazzie637So the game is pretty cool but the bugs are so annoying I’m starting to lose interest.. The lag is so intense it shuts my phone screen off & it takes a minute before I can turn it back on.. I’m starting to worry I’ve downloaded a virus by installing this game.. Then after my phone screen comes back on, any progress I’ve made in the past minute or so is lost.. This also happens after ads.. the game freezes & progress is lost.. then there’s the settings.. I have the music & sound turned off, but every time I open the game or after an ad that makes the screen freeze, the sound & music are back on even tho it shows it selected to off.. still testing it out but so far those bugs are the most noticeable & the most infuriating.. oh, the game also makes my phone heat up, which now that I think of it could be the reason it freezes & makes my screen shut off.. I think I’ll wait for an update to the game before I keep playing
Good but needs improvements
Sat Jun 25 2022 Random_person123451279Note that you absolutely should not play this game if you have epilepsy or any other flashing light sensitivity until one of the improvements I mention later gets fixed.
I enjoy this game and find it an entertaining way to spend free time. However there are still some improvements that could be made, for example ads every 1-2 minutes while playing is excessive and gets very annoying. Also the flashing of the numbers in the corner can cause seizures for people with epilepsy who want to play this game, so at the bare minimum you should really put a warning to not play the game if you have epilepsy or any other condition that would allow the flashing numbers to cause harm. However if you want the app to be more inclusive you need to remove the flashing from the points counter all together and just keep the counter like it is before you hit the big scores.
Money Hungry/Ads Ads Ads
Sun Aug 06 2023 CursevineIt seems like the developers are just here for ad revenue. They have made it so that every turn makes you watch a forced ad. They do give you the option to gain a reward by watching a longer as but it all ends the same. 5 seconds of play for 15-30 seconds if ads depending on if you go for the reward or not. There isn’t even an option to pay for no ads. I would gladly pay for a no ads option. At least for forced ads. I love this game and was so very happy to see that the ad that made me download this game matched the actual app. However, after about a few hours playing this game, and reading the other reviews from a year ago. It has become clear that the developers do not intend to add a no ad option or to lessen the forced ads. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find a game with developers that actually care about the users and listen to them. I hate to uninstall but I’m not going to watch continuous ads. Maybe you will fix it one day and I can revisit.
Crashes a lot
Fri Mar 25 2022 Jaxis0923I really like the game and it kills a lot of time. My one complaint is that a lot of the times when I’m watching an ad the game crashes and it kicks me out. Then when I load the game back up it sets you back a few moves. So if I had a huge merge before that, I lose it. They just recently put out an update and I was hoping this would be fixed but alas it is still the same. The ads can be frequent if you merge any balls 64 or higher and on multiple mergers you have to watch multiple ads in a row. And if you click “no thanks” for the gifts, you still have to watch an ad whether you take the gift or you don’t so might as well take the gift even if you already have more bombs than you could ever use. It would be nice if they would offer to remove ads for like $5. I would pay that just to stop the amount of ads we are subjected to.
Game runs choppy and way too many ads. No tutorial.
Thu Feb 24 2022 Thund999It has potential of a great little time waster. There's no tutorial on what the specials do. The bomb is a bomb, but it's good for one or two targets. The heart is not for lives like you'd expect, but doubles whatever ball touches it, and the player is rewarded with an ad, even during the drop, pausing the game. Every time there is an upgrade to balls, you have the option to gain a special ball (bomb/heart) for the cost of watching an ad, if you opt out, you don't get the special ball, but still have to watch an ad. You don't get an upgrade every turn/drop, but when you do get to watch an ad as the reward. If you get more than one upgrade per turn/drop, you are still rewarded with an ad for each one. There's no option to opt out of ads, which are big data and battery drains. The game runs choppy, and I would think that a simple game like this would run smoothly.
***If you like watching ads, this game is for you, if you don't, move on and don't waste your time.***
Worth 3 Stars
Sat Mar 16 2024 Jubran91This game so much fun and addicting and can be relaxing. But the ads are beyond excessive. Gets a bonus with the option to watch an ad to get another bonus or click "no thanks", clicks on "no thanks" and still you get a 10-20 second ad anyways, then when you click X to close the ad it then opens up the the app store to download the advertised game, closes pop up app store and clicks X again, but when you click X the app store pops up again, repeats 4-5 times and then you finally returns to the game. Then you get another bonus shortly after watching the 30 second ad and you get another bonus! More ad! And if you watch the ad to get the extra, you still might have to watch another ad after that ad before returning to the game. You get about 5 minutes of ads per 1 minute of playing. Its a very fun game, but its mostly ads
Fun game but…
Fri Feb 25 2022 Wes Express 1Crashes ALL the time. Like about every fifth round or so. And when it does, after you open it back, you’ve lost the previous two rounds. So it gets frustrating. And speaking of frustration, ads. Ads. And more ads. I watch about 5-6 in a row after a ball merger. The next time it offered (you’re reward is one extra power up) I click no thanks. Boom, hit with a forced ad. Really guys. Is your greed that high. Maybe offer an ad free version. Or pump the breaks on the ad generator. My God. The level takes about five seconds. Then u spend the next 30ish (and click the X three times) before you get to play again and repeat the process. I enjoy the game. But I open the app to PLAY the game. Not watch ads that I won’t download on the principle alone. I understand it’s free and you need the ads. But seriously guys. When 12 minutes of real time translated into one minute of game play, then it doesn’t take long for me to find another game.
