★★★★★ Fun game but…
Sun Nov 09 2025 ReedearThis is actually a pretty fun game. It’s nice when I have a bit of down time. I only have two issues:
1. I can tell it’s starting to go down the greed hole fairly quickly and I haven’t been playing very long, only just started seeing ads for it a week ago (assuming it’s a fairly new game). You don’t get many coins as a reward, which I get, to a degree. If you give too many coins, no reason for people to ever spend money, BUT you shouldn’t have to play about 50 games to afford a power up. Especially when you often need them to get past a Very Hard level. Then, as every single game seems to feel the need to do, it has a season pass or whatever they’re calling it here. I’m absolutely tired of those. Does every game have to copy Fortnite? Even mobile games? I don’t even play it and don’t think it was the first to implement a season pass, but it definitely popularized it, and I see its influence everywhere. I guess it’s nice they have free stuff on the passes (stuff I rarely use, though, besides coins).
2. The game freezes constantly. It’s not too bothersome on the regular games, but when you’ve finally figured out how to beat a Hard or Very Hard level and then it freezes, so that you have to start over… it’s really frustrating. I like to play games for fun and a bit of challenge, it’s not a challenge if it’s just the game freezing up. Which, honestly, brings me back to point 1: wanting me to spend money on a game that freezes is lame.
★★★★★ Relaxing and Fun…with a Couple of Needed Improvements
Fri Jan 16 2026 TheFlamingoKidI downloaded this game on a whim and it’s become one of my favorite stress relievers! It’s engaging, fun, and challenging enough that I don’t get bored.
I will echo a couple of folks that mentioned that the difficulty level can be frustrating as you reach higher levels, but so far I’ve found that paying attention to the queue order and replaying levels works for me.
My main complaint is the app refreshing during a level. As I’m sure most people do, I have a life outside of this game and so sometimes I need to stop playing and do other things during a level. However, more often than not, when I come back to the game, it doesn’t open to where I was; it starts the level over and counts it as a failure. This is annoying, especially when I’m in the midst of a lava challenge because it means I’ve failed the challenge even though I didn’t actually fail the level. I don’t have this problem with other games, so I’m assuming there is a way to fix that and I hope the developers do!
★★★★★ Slow for no reason
Thu Dec 18 2025 Annonymous123654It doesn’t actually have any difficulty or thought required. You just have to sit and click the same thing over and over again to get it to actually play the game. There is no way to just keep the bubbles cycling, and there’s no way to speed up the gameplay either. It doesn’t really help de-stress me like a game like this should at all because it’s so OBNOXIOUSLY slow. You literally have to be so exhausted that all you can do is tap the same little bubble over and over again to enjoy it and even then, it’s mind-numbingly slow. I play a lot of games like this but honestly, this one needs work. And, thats not even considering the fact that you LITERALLY cannot play it offline, and it has forced pop up harassment between EVERY match. It’s really not hard to set up consumables with videos if you want free money from advertisers, but it’s really, by definition, predatory behavior to just harass gamers with ads, regardless of your reasons. If you want ad revenue, get the revenue with respectable tactics like additional power ups, or you’re just another predator. I actually like the style of this game so im genuinely hoping the creators consider the implications and impressions of the predatory choices made for advertising, how it overtly negatively impacts societal interactions, and make changes personally to be BETTER THAN THAT. If they don’t, then they’re just another predatory set of abusers using societal “norms” as an excuse for disrespectful, hateful choices. I won’t be surprised, but i will be disappointed in this game maker if they can’t be bothered to affect change.
★★★★★ Satisfying, but flawed.
Fri Jan 16 2026 Eilla_DoodlesThe pros: Pixel Flow is a very satisfying game- once you process how to throw more buckets onto the conveyer than the 5 you have space for if the finish a loop, it even has a bit of risk reward. It starts out incredibly simplistic, but slowly and steadily ramps up the difficulty. The sound effects are satisfying to hear, and it’s a near perfect time waster.
Now for the cons: The lock and key system is one I am not a big fan of as it changes the core gameplay focus from removing colors strategically to rescuing the keys ASAP, and I wish it was not there. You also cannot play it in airplane move to remove the advertisements- it pauses to demand an internet connection despite there really not being any reason why it would need such a thing. This makes this game annoying for traveling, and annoying as there is advertisements between levels. That being said, there are not many advertisements, or at least on my end… still, it’s a con to consider. I have also heard reviews call later levels literally impossible without buying power ups, and even early on I can imagine how it would ramp up to that level. I have not gotten there myself, but… I do believe them. Still a fun download if only for the first 50 or so levels before the keys are introduced.
★★★★★ Fun but unfair & forceful
Sun Mar 08 2026 Mindlesslove17So let’s get the positives out of the way, I really love this game. It’s top two of the games I play daily! However, once you get to the high levels (I’m on level 469) the game pulls unfair moves to force you to spend the coins you’ve earned or if you don’t have enough coins actual money. Example, level 469 has 4 locks I’ve played this level 6 times and each time I never get the correct correlating pigs to unlock the last one, so it leaves me “locked out”. I’m instead of auto shuffling like other games do when there aren’t any playable moves, you’re forced to spend 900 coins to unlock the one lock! It’s unfair and somehow counts as a fail. I’ve been kicked out of so many Fire quests for it. Please do something about this because it is deeply frustrating and just frankly unfair. Also the ads after EVERY level, and I do mean EVERY LEVEL is soooooo annoying! If we’re going to be forced to deal with an ad whether we opt for the coin multiplier or not, each level should be worth the 80 coins. Same as if you select the multiplier option because you’re forcing us into it 😒 other than that, I truly enjoy the game!
★★★★★ WAAAAAYYYYY TOOO MANY ADS
Sat Apr 04 2026 BanjoBagginsI’ll start by saying that it’s very fun. I do enjoy playing it in my down time. But the ads are overly excessive. You beat a level > ADS. You fail at a level > ADS. You run out of hearts > ADS. I guess it’s great that they offer an option to pay $10 to have no ads at all, but who is actually paying money for apps? That’s ridiculous. If it were not for the ad frequency, I might rate it higher, but I just can’t. It’s almost as if this is an AD App with a game mixed in here and there vs the opposite. And some of the ads are over 90 seconds long, and you can’t not watch them or else you don’t get your heart to play again. UGH! It’s so frustrating. They could also decrease the time between hearts regenerating by half. And also, I have an issue with how they classify some of the levels. Some of the regular “blue” levels are very difficult, and some of the “very hard” red and “hard” purple levels are simple. Some tweaking to their coding to determine difficulty level could be worthwhile. Also, higher difficulty levels should yield higher payouts. Why are we getting 40 coins for level 1 blue, and 40 coins for level 849 red? It makes no sense! MAKE SOME UPDATES!!!!
★★★★★ Ads and Random Guessing
Thu Feb 19 2026 Ace117117Overall, it’s a fun game up to a certain point
FEATURE complaint: Maybe this is just my personal opinion, but having the “mystery pig” feature is not fun at all. It takes away from the strategy of picking the correct order of colors, and turns it into a guessing/memorization game (which you’ll have to wait and watch ads as a punishment for guessing wrong). This is a really lame feature imo, and might be the thing that makes me delete this game (same exact feature/reason I’ve deleted other similar “puzzle” games). I enjoy thinking and puzzling, and the Hard/Very Hard levels are fun and challenging. The random guesswork is not fun
ADS complaint: I get that if you make a free game but want to continue supporting it and adding levels, you’ll probably need to incorporate ads to pay for staff and support. I get that, but this level of ads seems a little egregious. Also, this game is advertised in other games, so like, “you’re paying other games to advertise your game, which has paid advertisements for other games”? That seems like a really odd cycle to me lol
★★★★★ A solid 2 stars
Sun Feb 15 2026 AlantechThere are very long adds if you, 1.) run out of lives (have to watch one per life, or wait), or 2.) if you want to double your 40 coin winning per level to 80 coins. The only shorter adds are between levels. I can tolerate the adds because the gameplay is long enough and very satisfying. THE deal breaker is getting stuck, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to pass without paying. There’s zero opportunities to grind out a couple days of daily rewards to build up to a better power-up to pass a level but none exist. Again, what I mean is that there are zero free coins—can’t even watch a 3-minute ad for them—zero free boosts, zero community—no groups/clans/friends.
I’m stuck at 699 and can’t do anything about it but pay to pass this “super hard” level and MAYBE have enough left over for the next “super hard” level which is 5 more levels from now, BUT I refuse to. No game should 100% require pay-to-win.
***For the third time, this level is impossible to beat without more coins, and there are NO FREE ways to get them.***
The gameplay is super fun; otherwise, this is a 1-star. Deleting this app after posting this review.
