Addictive way to pass time
Tue Jan 21 2025 NAP-ElThis game came up multiple times as an ad in other apps and finally gave in and downloaded. Just gotta tell you, WAY TOO MANY ADS WAY TOO OFTEN! Paid to take away ads and def no regrets. Game play is smooth, graphics are nice, and you would think matching cakes would be easy and mindless but not the case, need to plan & strategize your moves as you go. I find myself playing this alot, worth every penny for me.
My only gripe is there is no “help”. If you don’t know what something is or does then oh well, too bad for you. Would think be simple enough to put in settings somewhere. Purchased on my iPad and was unsure if no ads would carry over to iPhone, so far no ads but my progress and name/avatar established on iPad did not come up. Seems like it recognizes my account bought the rights but nothing else otherwise. Again, a HELP option would be nice.
Greedy
Fri Dec 06 2024 Taylorrr<33I loved this game when I first downloaded it, hated the ads though. So I bought the app to get rid of the ads and that's when I noticed the game changed. It was no longer a simple puzzle game. It started giving me pieces I couldn't put anywhere over and over and over again so you have no choice but restart the match. You'd use up all your in game money to move pieces around and have to restart anyway because the game just keeps giving you impossible pieces to play. I understand each level gets more difficult but I know what i'm experiencing is just greed plain and simple. I bought the game therefore there's no more money coming from all those ads so they make it now that you have to spend your real money to get anywhere in this game. At least make the help tools restart back at 0$ once you get a new cake. Like how big and greedy can you possibly be. My god. Oh and the fortune wheel ? RIGGED. I get it everyone's gotta eat, it's just lame and it's not as fun anymore. You can't even empty your piggy bank now if you buy the "no ads" without spending real money what is that??? It's lame and it should be fixed or don't even have the option to get rid of ads. It's a scam to get you locked in to buy and spend money on a puzzle game. Big L for loser.
Returning to my review to emphasize how the fortune wheel no matter where you tap it, it gives you 60 coins. No matter what which is rigged??
90% just watching ads
Fri Mar 28 2025 Shaka, When the Walls FellThis game would be fun if the monetization was less aggressive. I’m very willing to pay for games but the amount they charge for various aspects of the game is outrageous for what it is. The last time I look it was $8 to get rid of ads forced upon you during gameplay (which is roughly every 1–2 minutes if you play fast) but it keeps all ads for everything else. You need to pay extra on a regular basis to not watch any ads. And the ads are long and very invasive. They require interaction to even trigger the ability to dismiss them. And many of them will repeatedly open the open the App Store to try and force you to download the app advertised.
Just as an example, I paid $10 for a much more involved end well developed mobile game a few months ago with ZERO ads. I also paid around that much for another mobile game that gets regular updates and is also much more involved and complicated to develop. Both of these were RPGs with much better graphics and highly complex game mechanics. This is just a puzzle game and they’re charging more if you factor in the ads and other micro transactions.
The game itself is pretty fun but I had to delete it. There are other ad driven games that are not nearly as aggressive or invasive.
Disappointed
Sun Nov 26 2023 krlpmvjdlaekaSo I loved this game at the beginning, enough so that I paid for no ads, but the more I play the worse it gets. It seems like once you pay for no ads, they make you watch ads to get stuff that you didn’t have to before. For example, now that I’ve been playing for a while, the bonus rounds, which you unlock by getting points in the main level and used to be free to play, require me to watch an ad to play a level that I earned by playing… The developers reward you for your purchase to stop forced ads by forcing you to watch ads to unlock previously free content. Another thing that’s changed the more I play is the way the cakes move around the board. Oftentimes, when I place a cake, they don’t actually merge all the slices, leaving multiple plates instead of combining them. It’s almost as if they are forcing you to buy the booster tools, which cost a lot more than your coins accumulate. The whole thing is just designed to make you watch more ads (which to be clear I have NO problem doing in general, just not when it’s to play levels that were free to play before I purchased the no ads thing) and spend more money, which is so disappointing because I used to really enjoy the game.
DONT DOWNLOAD!! wish I knew..
Mon Sep 09 2024 BLuJiNX_DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOD REVIEWS, the ads are not short, these developers are absolute scammers and they know it! HOW TO SKIP ADs: I’m posting this so these scammer developers have to put actual work into their app, hopefully more ppl do this and then they’ll have to actually spend time on their game to prevent this - close the game when an ad pops up and then you open it right back up and you’ve skipped the ad! Once you re open the app, you’re right back where you were in game, when you closed the game/ completely skipping the forced ads every 40 seconds :) get to work devs!! <3
Original: I wish I didn’t waste my time giving this game a chance. The balance of forced very long ads vs game play time… it’s disgusting. I read about the insane amount of ads.. and I thought well.. I’ve played plenty of games with ads.. this game.. is a literal waste of time. You cannot even get into the game, every 40 seconds I get an ad.. I timed it!! AWFUL WASTE OF TIME GAME! you’ll spend more time waiting for ads to end than the developers spent making the game! I hope this helps the next “me” who comes through and thinks well, maybe the ads won’t be that bad. #uninstalled
The ads make this game unplayable
Mon Oct 28 2024 Cat from AustinMost games like this play an ad at the end of the level, or once you lose. Not cake sort! Decline a power up? Here's an ad! Place 3 cakes? Time for an "ad break!" I have no problem if a game exchanges power ups for a 30 second ad, but this game forces you to watch ads with no reward. You can't even get into a satisfying rhythm or develop a strategy because the ads keep interrupting your gameplay. I discovered this game by playing a sample in an ad in another game, I have nothing against watching ads in exchange for free apps. But I literally got to play the game uninterrupted for longer in the advertisement than I do after downloading the actual game. It's that bad. Aside from all that, the puzzle format is okay, but it doesn't make a lot of sense, you can unlock new cakes that replace your old cakes mid game, eliminating them from the board, it's just kind of weird. There are unpredictable double cake plates which keep things tricky. Maybe I couldn't have gotten into it more with less commercial interruptions. If you enjoyed playing the sample you saw in an ad, I don't recommend bothering to download, it's not the same experience.
Intrusive scam ads
Sun Aug 03 2025 Alx875I really enjoy this game and have been mostly able to manage the ads (I even usually play the interactable ones until it won’t let me anymore) but recently it has started automatically redirecting me to my browser window telling me my phone is being scanned for viruses. This is a blatant scam designed to prey on people who don’t know much about technology and are easily scared by the idea of being infected by a virus, and by removing me from the app it forces me to watch another ad right after. Just now it did that while I was in the middle of an unrelated ad! That was the final straw and I have deleted the app. It’s a shame, I enjoy the gameplay but it just felt scummy to keep getting redirected like that, it makes me feel like I’m giving my time and attention to something that’s actively making the world worse. I’d love to come back but I find it unlikely that this will change because it’s probably making them some good money. Also this game heats up my phone when I’m playing it for too long, which increases the feeling that something shady is going on under the surface.
Could Have Been Great
Mon Aug 12 2024 App avenger**Caution** The play time in the Ad you saw for this game will be the longest uninterrupted time you will ever get after downloading it. The graphics are passable and somehow look better on the Ad. While the game is fun, the amount of mood busting Ads are ridiculous. Ads in the middle of a board, Ads when you lose a boards, Ads after pop up suggestions you decline not to accept because it isn’t clear if you will need to watch an ad, then another add for achieving a 5 coin bonus I never got to what they were even to be used for. Distracting Ad banner blinking just waiting for your hand to slip. No way I was going to trust that $2.99 would remove all of that and this all occurred after 5 minutes on the first board, meaning I clearly not enough time to decide if I like the game that much. Towards what I can only guess is close the end of the 1st board it gets increasingly, wildly difficult but of course so you can play it over again after an ad, and a few suggested boost,all followed by an Ad. I deleted it. I don’t have that kind of time to sit and work for this game’s profit.
Super addictive
Sun Dec 01 2024 hanniechannieOut the gate, just know you have to buy the no ads pass. It’s only a couple bucks, and the amount of ads is infuriating if you don’t, so it’s really worth it. Beyond that, this game is so satisfying and my ADHD brain finds it soothing, I’m constantly playing while I watch TV, listen to college lectures, etc. There’s no level progression, it’s simply to beat your own high score, and it saves your level progress if you close the app so you can play it in tiny increments if you don’t have a lot of time.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that I’m having an issue where the game is stuck on the Halloween update, even though my app is up to date. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, to no avail, at which point I realized I had never logged into Facebook to save my progress before and I have to start over. If they fix whatever update glitch is keeping it stuck on the Halloween mode, I’d give it 5 stars for the amount of fun.
Love the game! Too many ads :(
Sat May 24 2025 Dla2I love this game, but it reaches a point where you don’t even get to play the game, because there are ads every moment of playing.
If you win something, you have to watch an ad to get what you have one. If you lose, you have to watch an ad to try again.
If you want to get extra points after you won, you have to watch another ad, so win or lose, you still have to watch an ad.
I kind of lose track of the game, because each play requires you to play another ad. I can’t even keep track of what’s going on, because there’s ad after ad required to keep going.
And they keep upping the price on the tools to play the game, the longer you play. So it starts out at maybe 102 points needed to change the location of a cake in order to be able to keep playing.
I finally deleted the game this morning, because it was costing like 460 points to do almost anything. And watching ads are required in order to get the points.
So in essence you have to watch ads to keep playing and watch ads to get tools to play. There’s literally little time to play the actual game in between.
And the more you succeed, the more ads and the longer the ads are to actually play the game. And the price continues to go up five times and more.
So in essence, you are penalized for winning and the amount of time allowed to play the game is lessened. Very disappointing.
