Great game, bad designs
Tue Jul 29 2025 Beezou11I don’t like leaving negative reviews for a game I really like, but when I clicked the button for app support, it takes me to their company page that talks about the people and has a career page but no option for tech support, so that is my first complaint. If you don’t offer tech support, don’t put a button for it in the App Store. I really do love this game, but two things are incredibly annoying. The first is the ads that take over the page when I’m in the middle of playing a board. Seriously?? Someone thought that was a good idea?! Then I end up not having any control where the piece I was trying to play drops because it’s behind the ad that comes out of nowhere and takes over the page. The other, and really annoying, thing - and it’s somewhat that was changed to do this a couple years ago by some awful decision, is when I place the final block and there are no moves, I don’t even get to see the placement of that block and confirm there are no more moves because the game disappears and an ad comes onto the page and I never get to analyze the board to see if that piece really was the final one or what else was could have done differently. At least go back to how it used to be where we can place our last piece, and if there are no more moves, just put that text out there and let me see that for myself instead of an as taking over. And then let me click okay and then you can play the ad.
Very addictive fun game, but unfortunately:
Fri Feb 07 2025 mitch kanueverIt’s a cool game, but after a while you’ll realize you’re wasting your time. Your not beating your score legitimately, AI is powering this game like so many others you can download on the App Store. What I mean is you’ll realize that AI is generating pieces to keep you on their app as long as they can. You’ll notice after a while that you came so close to beating your top score, but they gave you 3 ridiculous block patterns you can’t fit anywhere, leaving some to say omg, I was so close, let me try again. I’ve downloaded and deleted this app 3 times now. Funny enough the last time I downloaded it, the game proved to me that I was right all along. The pieces are not generated randomly (which would actually make the game really fun). They are most definitely custom picked. Try it for yourself, the last time I downloaded the app, the first time I played, it was as if every piece they provided fit perfectly and I had the highest score ever by far. Then every game was the same after that, I got the perfect pieces until I was close to high score and then they screwed me. Some will still play regardless stating that they are just better at the game, or they’re aware of the AI influence but don’t care, but for me, it’s an absolute waste of time, entirely a false sense of accomplishment and another example of what America is all about, Greed.
I love the game but…
Sat Nov 18 2023 twoandanhRecently it’s been extremely laggy, which unfortunately causes me to “accidentally” place tiles where I never meant to place them. I have a newer phone and nothing else on my phone lags (and this game didn’t use to, either!) so I’m leaving a 3-star review in the hopes the developers will fix whatever issue is causing the game to lag. In effect, I try to pick up a tile and it doesn’t move, so I lift my thumb off the screen, and because of the lag, the tile finally DOES move—and gets plopped somewhere on the board randomly. Very annoying!
Other than that, I really like this game. I notice a couple of reviewers saying the game seems rigged against them, providing the wrong tiles. Personally, I feel that it forces you to think about your strategy by not giving you obviously easy-fit tiles as you progress to a higher score. I like that and it makes me feel like my brain is getting a good workout. I was initially quite frustrated with it for that same reason but noticed that as I played more, I could see that the strategy isn’t really to fit all the tiles neatly together, but to almost do the opposite: take as many wins as you can, even if the board looks a little messy. I feel like in that respect, it’s a really good strategy game that is a rare find amongst most games which are more about luck or very surface-level strategy!

Fri May 06 2022 auztumn/dewnnitFirst, to different on a mobile game not recording to ads or videos. I saw a YouTuber play it and they said it was great so, I downloaded it to see the fuss and how great it was but, as expected it was not even close on how good the YouTuber said it was so I was dissatisfied. Want to know something that’s upsetting? Ads are not even close to what the game is and it gets to hard after levels, very upsetting.
Second, the good thing about this is that it was fun for a while then, the hard thing happened and got me VERY upset so I don’t recommend this but after all is decent not terrible or bad it’s not the vibe at all, as I’m writing a whole paragraph your opinion is probably “why write a whole book when it’s not terrible or great.” Well I’m doing this so you have an honest opinion on this game and what I think of it.
Third, it could use more work then this, this is bad quality and I’m trying to write it in a good way which is difficult. I really think they could of spend more time on it and made it easier on levels higher then 8-10. As I was saying this game is not bad or great it is actually surprisingly good! Work harder but other then that great work. ❤️
Ads Ads and s’more Ads
Tue Aug 30 2022 MaydayjayFirst and foremost, this game disappointingly has nothing to do with sodoku other than the board. It’s just a new take on Tetris. Also, it is clear that this game solely exists to generate ads. The owners make their money off of those ads and micro purchases. That means they must saturate the user with enough ads to get other companies interested in advertising on their product, but what that really means is the game will intentionally scuttle your progress in order to keep their average advertisement runs on the level. They only show you the next three pieces and then conveniently you get impossible combinations very quickly and lose: now you get an add. Play it again and they provide you with two or three possible moves before there are no more possible. Rinse and repeat until they very easily provide you with the exact combinations you need so you can advance.
In the end it takes almost no skill to win or lose. It’s the random pieces generated by the application which are in line with them forcing you back to the ads and curbing your progress. Very disappointing overall.
Bit of advice: force close the app whenever you win or lose to skip the ad. Start the app back up and you’ll be where you left off in much shorter time or even better, don’t install this game disguised as tracking software.
Game with misleading ads to show you misleading ads
Fri Sep 30 2022 LaudedSwanI saw an ad for this game that showed a completely different type of puzzle. I’m not sure why they would bother since neither the actual game or the game they showed is any harder to make or more interesting, but it bugged me that it was using the classic fake line of “If you can solve this you have an IQ of 180”. But the puzzle still looked interesting so I checked it out. Sadly the puzzle in the game is not the one advertised.
The actual game is pretty boring since while there is a little skill to set yourself up so that you will be able to continue playing with whatever random pieces you get next, the difficulty depends entirely on which random pieces you get, which isn’t even consistent in the adventure mode (or whatever they call it). So the same level can be impossible one attempt and then ridiculously easy the next.
On top of this, the game displays misleading ads for other games between each level with no option to pay to remove the ads. I gave it a go for a while but when I got to an ad that wouldn’t play and just sat there frozen, rather than force quitting and reopening the app I just deleted it because it wasn’t what it claimed to be and it was frustrating to play.
Ruined by advert greed, used to be decent
Sat Aug 05 2023 acrisisThis game used to be fun and relaxing - if frustrating because you cannot turn items and it will trip you up gradually at different levels by not giving you items you need but instead multiple items you cannot place. But at least it was ad banners and very limited ads. Now, coming back to it while healing from a medical procedure … I rediscovered woodoku. The stupid & very loud not muted (?!) repetitive animated ads at every level completion and fail are just too much.
I had lost all my progress and scores, but that did not bother me, I played a few regular games. Ad is super disruptive, cutting in before you knew what was wrong or even your score. Today it offered me the challenge journey. OK, let me relax with that … No, I am just like strapped to a screen and forced to view and click every 20-30 secs on these loud animated ads for games I have no interest in. None. Just ridiculous to have in game ad banners + force that many popups for games that most people either have or just are not interested in … Literally ruined by greed. People play puzzles to relax and heal. Not to get stressed out by unskippable ads you have to sit through and interact with to get rid of them. Back to my solitaire game I go. Bye.
This Game Could be Amazing, But…
Mon Aug 08 2022 awordfanI absolutely love this game and play it often. Still, I find myself frustrated at the lack of basic features that would cost the developer nearly nothing to implement. Why are the puzzle pieces not more randomized? Why are the ads SO intrusive? There is, I’m sure a way to mute the sound without us having to turn our volume off. I enjoy playing while listening to podcasts or audiobooks and the ads not only interrupt but turn them off! Why hasn’t that been addressed? Why isn’t there an ad-free paid version or no ads upon successfully completing a level? Why aren’t the ways to dismiss the ads more obvious and not clickbait? Why haven’t you considered an undo feature knowing how often people complain about the jerky drag-and-drop that sometimes means a piece is mislaid? Why don’t you all listen?
It’s clear the developers of this game are uninterested in what players have said time and again about this game. These things don’t feel hard to fix. I’d give it five stars if it weren’t for both the issues I and others have mentioned and the total absence of responsiveness by the developers. It’s sad to think you don’t care enough to listen.
