Dev: GET RID OF SPECIAL BLOCK! too many interruptions

I bought the game everything is good and acceptable except the stupid gold blocks. Actually other games do it too. If you buy the game why do you still have to watch ads to get bonuses on certain things in the game? That’s not right when you buy it it says to remove ads so it lies. Why don’t you just give us a few hundred points at the end of a completed game instead of all these interruptions continuously and the better you are the faster you go through the game the more they come up.. others have written us please change we don’t need the stupid gold blocks just interrupts the game every single 10 secs or so!! I like the game a lot, so I bought it but it had crashed twice after playing an ad can imagine starting all over again when you’re high up in your rank. Please please please please please developer get rid of the gold cubes when you’re fairly fast player they come up constantly and it interrupts the game. Why can’t you just get like three or 400 points at the end of a game I want to play the game I don’t want all those garbage that pops up puzzle pieces are cool. They come up occasionally but the gold pieces oh my gosh please get rid of them make an option to get more points to include them or some thing as a option.

Offensive Ad

Thanks for only showing the aforementioned ad only occasionally - I truly appreciate it. I still love this game and highly recommend but beware - so many long ads. Plus with the daily challenges you are not allowed to use your points to buy bombs so when you run out of time or blocks you have to watch a very long ad in order to receive an additional 3 blocks or 15 seconds more!! To add insult to injury if it’s taking a while to finish the challenge and “want” to add more time or blocks you get a message that you internet connection is down. Of course it’s not, the game is just having problems downloading another long ad!! I know this because if you wait a minute or so you finally get an ad. Be careful though because if you accidentally touch any part of the screen, it pops you out of the challenge and you have to start all over again! Very frustrating!! Please do something about this!!!! Thank you!! I love this game! It is challenging and frustrating and I just love it. It is definitely 5 stars! I gave it only 3 stars due to one particular ad - makeover! I find this ad offensive and insulting to women. It plays over and over again with no way to complain about it. If people want to play this game - that’s their privilege, however women and especially young women and girls shouldn’t be subjected to this long playing ad! I can’t believe no one has commented on it. Please remove or make it just a “still” ad. Thank you.

Please, just leave me in peace and let me play the game.

**Another update and it’s even worse than ever. The new colors/designs are an assault on the eyes. I guess it’s time to find a new game.** *Update* It just gets worse with every update. More endless, pointless interruptions. I don’t care where I am on the leaderboard and I wish it wouldn’t pull me out of the game every few moves to tell me and make me watch this stupid ticker. Can you not let people play in peace??? I love this game. It’s engaging and weirdly relaxing. I could play it endlessly except the ads were so disruptive and annoying. I bit the bullet and paid for the “ad free” version but I’m still getting prompted to click on buttons for ads. Why?? 😩 The continual interruptions significantly lessen the quality of the game. Every so many moves, the game stops and tells me I’ve reached some new level, which I do not care about in the slightest. I get the point of golden blocks - they’re essentially wild cards, which is cool, but I don’t need to be taken out of the game and forced to sit for 5 seconds while I wait to decline the option to watch an ad for additional points. And no, I do not want to join a race, so please stop interrupting the game to ask me. I don’t care about getting puzzle pieces or any of the various challenges or annoying bouncing icons at the top of the screen. Please, for the love of all that is holy, just leave me in peace and let me play the game.

bruh

it’s always been full of bugs, but I’ve put those aside and still played the game. However, with whatever change came within the last day or so, the game isn’t enjoyable to play. Normal blocks continuously change into these “special blocks” that don’t even offer 50 coins, and when you click on them, you get interrupted with a screen giving you an option to double, triple, etc, the amount by watching an ad. And again, they don’t stop coming. You get rid of one? Now you got yourself another. But I mean, you have to get rid of them since they’ll block the other blocks, so it’s just a pain. Also, why do we even need these coin blocks?? There’re literally challenge levels that’ll give you 10k+ coins, that are extremely easy. Not to mention that once you’ve bought those three skins at the top, and the other ones that are purchasable with coins (12 of them, at max costing 500~ish coins), that’s all that you can buy with coins. Your coins from there on just continue to pile up without having anything to spend them on. As I am right now, I’m currently sitting on roughly 544k coins, so why would I have any desire to earn more, especially if it continuously interrupts the normal gameplay? Also, having ranks on the normal mode makes no sense. It doesn’t show any leaderboard, so you’re not competing with others, you barely earn a few coins, and like in the endless mode, it just interrupts the game whenever you reach a new rank.

Please remove some things.

Hello. I love your game, it’s very fun,entertaining, and enjoyable. But, there are a few problems I would like to address.1. Like the stupid “special blocks” they spawn so much when I’m doing a level. It gets annoying having to click on them every time to get a block out this way but then another pops up and it blocked this, so it’s just super annoying. 2. There are SO MANY freaking ads. Every time I play this game I rank up, and once I do, I get a ad. And ranking up is soooooo easy to do. And I rank up so quick that it feels like every 3 mins there is a ad. 3. This may not apply to everyone but maybe do this. The “bombs” you guys have at the bottom of your screen that you can press. When I press it I expect to take my finger and drag the bomb over to some random block and release my finger from the screen and it explodes. But for some reason I have to do that a couple times and I just start pressing and doing random things trying to make it work and once it does it’s in the wrong place or something. So I want you guys to make the bombs a little more easier to use. 4. Make more skins of the blocks like the one you first start out with. Because it starts getting confusing with all the arrows and stuff. But this may not apply to everyone. Hello. This is the end of my review, I hope you will think about these problems and try to fix them. Goodbye.

Do Not Waste Money on the “Ad Free” Upgrade

As the title states, the “ad free” version of this game is entirely misleading. I understand app developers rely on advertisements to produce a profit and keep their games free. However, offering a paid version of the game to remove such advertisements should do just that. This developer instead replaces advertisements with lengthy interruptions where you are forced to watch an advertisement to gain any additional rewards. Otherwise, you still have to sit through level up screens and the useless “golden block” animation that halts gameplay for a few seconds every 10-15 moves. I know a few seconds may not sound like much, but when a fast paced game like this is stopping you dead in your tracks every time you level up (which is too often) or tap on a “golden block” it is no longer a fast paced game- nor is it enjoyable. I love the concept of this game, and it is quite soothing to me. However, there are plenty of other games that provide continuous disruption free gameplay that are much better than this. If you have a lot of time and/or money to waste, then go ahead and buy the paid upgrade. But for those of you who, like me, just need a fun puzzle game to play when stress is high- look elsewhere. I’ve emailed the developers as well, seeing as they do not seem concerned at all about the potential customers they are losing. Hopefully, these disruptions will be removed and I can update my review. Until then, it remains at one star.

Love it but want more

I love this game. It takes a bit to find the skin that is easiest to follow for your eyes but once you do the game proceeds quite fast. I wish that the configurations would change however, as I have done the same configurations over and over and over again. I am so tired of them, I have made it to the top level probably 100’s of times only to be brought back down to the bronze level again. I keep adding points but what are they for? You don’t use them for anything. At this point even though I love the game, there’s no more challenge and I play the hard level. although the gold blocks as mentioned in another review are annoying, they do serve a purpose. When the configuration has reached an impasse, the gold blocks come up in order to open up a block or two. Of course, you also have the bombs but I don’t usually use those anymore. There’s always a way out, you just have to find it. Please, please please! before I stop playing this game, How do you change the configurations? And if i can’t change the configurations, then please have the developers change them or have a level in which they are updated. If I’m missing something here, could someone let me know the trick?

Please develop a “no interruptions” option!

I’m glad I finally figured out where to purchase the add free version, but that hasn’t stopped the annoying game interruptions. The “special blocks” pop up non-stop and you have no choice but to click on them to get rid of them or they’ll get in the way of the game play. Then they bring you to an option to watch an add for more coins and it takes several seconds before you can just select to collect the coins you earn and get back to the game. The rank increases are also frequent but slightly less annoying since they’re quicker to dismiss away. I’d rather collect no coins than have the constant interruptions. All you can buy with coins are the skins anyway and I personally prefer the one the game starts you with, so the coins are useless to me. Alternatively, if you could just have a mode that was no interruptions you could still click on the special blocks and they could automatically deposit into your coin account. Those that like the option to watch an add for more could have no interruptions off and it would allow for the best of both worlds. Your rank could also just update discretely on top without creating a pop-up for every new level. I really hope the app developer reads these because it seems that many others who otherwise love this game have the same qualm with it!

Gold blocks are an inconvenience!

A simple game like this with zen qualities shouldn’t be interrupted every 20 seconds by an ad. It ruins the purpose of the game when more time is spent watching ads vs playing the game. With the gold block it is a waste of time since every time you remove one your forced to watch an ad when at the bottom it clearly gives you the option to skip but it doesn’t. Plus their are plenty of other ways to get coins and gold blocks aren’t one of them, because it ruins challenge times because the game won’t end until they are gone. If you don’t have the ad free mode which is already ridiculous to begin with that I should pay to enjoy a simple game is terrible because after the gold block ad you get another ad for ranking up. Which ranking up is its own problem since it’s not even a rank it’s just an annoying system to give you more ads further ruining the quality of the game. If this was a complex developed game I’d understand the ads but this is not one of those so they don’t belong! I’m not sure what went wrong in the app developers head but they for sure need to try the game so they can understand how unenjoyable the game really is. Which is why I’m sure many others quit the game and also why it’s not nearly as popular as it could’ve been. If you want to desperately ruin the game at least put the ads in between levels not in the levels. Think about the players not the money for once and grow up!

Horrible interruptions

I wanted to like this game. It’s the perfect kind of game to zone out with and pass the time, or it would be if there weren’t so many interruptions. I’m not talking about the ads. Those are bad enough . I’m referring to the CONSTANT interruptions from gold blocks, score levels, scavenger hunt. Yay I got more gold coins. For what? I haven’t used one yet. I would have supported this game because the base game I really like. Would I pay for a non ad no interruption game like this? Yes. Will I pay for no ads on the game in its current state? Absolutely not. Scores can be at the end of the game. Gold blocks and scavenger hunts? I didn’t WANT a scavenger hunt game. I let the 6minutes run out and then continue my game. It’s very stressful to be constantly interrupted. There is nothing relaxing about being interrupted when you’re trying to concentrate on a task. It’s a shame. Devs need to take the gold blocks out. I don’t feel like a “winner” all I feel is irritation and I close the game out of frustration. All due to the constant interruptions. I want to clarify that I’m not referring to the bombardment of ads. I’m only referring to the gold blocks, score updates and that ridiculous scavenger hunt. Don’t bother downloading it. I don’t see how it has such high reviews in its current state. Many other reviews have also mentioned the interruptions. Devs are you listening?

Get Rid of gold Blocks Please!

I love this game! It’s truly just tapping the blocks and getting them unstacked. The only issue I’d look at is the gold blocks. I play constantly and just like others that pay for no ads, I find these blocks to be frustrating and disruptive to consistent or faster players. To me, they are like being forced into conversations with NPCs while in a quest, when they have nothing to do with it…constantly…every few moves. Or maybe like your toddler is playing your game with you and slapping blocks down in your path every time you think you’re getting somewhere. Not to mention that when you’re going to clear them you have to clear one at a time and wait several seconds to get out of it, just like dealing with an NPC or your toddler. That’s exactly why you chose to pick up the game right? Yeah, me neither. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s my only complaint. I love playing as I said and am on it several times a day even with the annoying gold blocks. But please do something about them!!!

Too easy

I saw an ad for this that looked challenging and fun. I figured it would start off easy; it did. I expected it to get harder; it hasn’t yet. Unfortunately that means repetitive and boring. I just got the game yesterday so maybe I’ll play a little more before deleting, but I’m on something like level 115 already and it’s all the same. Even the “challenges” are the same. Another irritating thing is some of the skins are very hard on my eyes, some make it difficult to determine depth, some are difficult to “read” (as in hard to tell the arrows are arrows let alone which way they are pointing). The eyestrain is not fun at all so I end up going back to the original skin. I wanted to like this, I really wanted to like it. The potential is there. Maybe if more of it was like the ad where some of the blocks are different sizes and the player has to move (instead of remove) some blocks in order to remove others. Maybe if there were ways for the player to get stuck. Maybe if I hadn’t mastered it in 10 seconds… Another suggestion to the developers: please don’t ask for a review so soon after someone downloads the game. At least give the player time to get to more challenging levels first (this is a double hint). Note: I played offline. Thank you to those reviewers that warned about the excessive advertisements.

Beware 4/7/23 Update!!!

I found this game yesterday, enjoyed it enough I bought it. Came here to review today and saw an update. Updated and suddenly I’m not getting any event Easter Eggs which I got a lot yesterday and so far completed two levels with zero event eggs. But even without glitchy patch, this game still isn’t worth 5 stars. It has way to many forced adds after buying the “no adds” version. If I buy the game I expected the gift boxes at the end of finishing puzzles to come without adds and I expected to be able to get some replay chances for the challenges. The Memory Challenge is great, but they don’t show you the order of the last set of boxes. So you have to figure it out on your own through trial and error. But the only way to retry is by watching an add. Which is a huge NOPE for me. I already hate having to guess but you’re going to force me to watch an add for every retry even after paying for the game. NOPE. That’s not cool. I love this game. Even with these two major flaws I’m giving game 3 stars instead of one. It’s one of the funnest games I’ve played. But If the developers ever want five stars from me they’re going to need to give paid accounts an actual “No Adds” gaming experience or relabel the purchase button to “Less Adds”.

Challenging app. Enjoy playing

I like the challenge. You have to look for all the possible paths that each cube can travel. It is a fun game. Not only is the game challenging but also all the ads. After you have passed several levels you earn more ads! After even more levels it limits you to only 10 moves (you can do in 30 to 40 seconds) and then you get to watch about 2 minutes of ads. 10 more moves more ads. Most of your time you are waiting for the little X to appear so you can close that ad so you can see the next one. Sometimes they’ll even repeat an ad. 2 or 3 times.” And as the number of cubes increases, the speed slows down. The processor works harder and the battery goes down faster. I like the challenge of the game but it’s not worth waiting on all the ads. UPDATE: the app did an update for better performance.??? It really added MORE ADS!!! When i first downloaded it, it had 2 or 3 ads between games. Now 2 or 3 ads between 6 or 7 moves. If you like a game the gives you more ads than game time playing then this is the game for you. Seriously considering deleting Tap Away from my devices!!!!!!!!!

SO MANY ADS

there are seriously sooooo many ads that pop up in this game that it is impossible to ignore. I know they want you to buy the ad free version but the game is not good enough for me to spend money on. It’s a great concept for a puzzle game and fun without being too challenging, but the ads are just too much. There also these “special blocks” that pop up everywhere and you are forced to click on them and those prompt more ads. I also hated that it would produce this screen randomly during play that says you increased your rank or something along those lines. It stops your playing the game and then again is more ads. I also did not like the mechanics for being able to move the puzzle around. You could not move the puzzle around or zoom in on a certain spot. All it does is rotate so it is very frustrating to try and complete larger puzzles when you want to be able to take a closer look at a particular spot. Overall I give it literally one star for the concept. Everything else is terrible. I’m disappointed because I really was looking forward to playing this game. I knew right away when I opened it that i was going to get too frustrated with it and have to delete because every game I have downloaded by this company has been the same. Great concept but the app itself is terrible and not worth the time or money.

The ads are too much

THE MAKERS OF THIS GAME DO NOT CARE at all about their reviews. They do not read them nor intend on fixing the issues expressed. This review is for THE PLAYERS OF THIS GAME. The game itself, I enjoy. The gold blocks, the ads… makes it not worth it. I had the game years ago and couldn’t remember why I deleted it. When I started playing it again, I remembered why. You get an ad every time you level up, an ad with those golden blocks that block your path so you have to tap them, and wherever else they want to throw them in. You get maybe a minute or two of play between them. Worth deleting. You can play offline to avoid ads. Downside -you can’t earn as much cash because this game relies too much on ads. On the bonus games, you can earn more moves as time passes, but often times the game is glitched so it doesn’t follow through with giving you those moves. Lots of glitches. Edit: I stand corrected about the makers of the game not reading their reviews. This review really got a response from them. I’m sorry I was mistaken. However, 😏 after seeing reviews that are several years old with the the same old “the ads are frequent enough to ruin it”, I just don’t see where that’s been improved. As well as glitches of the graphics freezing up then jumping around. It’s still pretty bad. Sorry, I don’t agree with the response.

Don’t bother 👎🏾

I’ve had the game for 24 hours and I will be deleting it as soon as I finish typing this review. You can’t get a solid 1 minute of gameplay with an ad. Literally every 35-45 seconds is an ad. Aside from those ads, the gold blocks that pop up when you’ve successfully moved several blocks in a row are very annoying, every single time you move a gold block, they show you a reward screen that allows you to collect coins. You can get about 30-40 coins for “free” or you can watch an ad to double or triple the amount. Between the ads and the coin rewards, it’s impossible to get even 20 seconds of uninterrupted gameplay. I would NEVER recommend this game. Also, and probably worse than the issues mentioned above, even if you turn off the sound in the games settings, your music will still be interrupted by the sound of the ads. It will either cut your music off completely or it will play sound over you music. I really don’t like games that treat you like you’re stuck in that AWFUL Wreck It Ralph 2 hellscape. I would gladly pay a few dollars for upgrades in a game that’s actually enjoyable but I would NEVER spend money or download an advertised game from a game that attempts to annoy you into submission. Game developers need to do better with their approach to making money.

Really boring and gave me a headache

I love puzzle games and downloaded this from an ad I saw. The gameplay was pretty much exactly what was shown in the ad, which was nice. However, I got bored of this game almost immediately. There’s no real challenge in solving the puzzles, so it just feels tedious. Also, you get an ad after clearing every level AND after you’ve made a certain number of moves in the larger-scale “challenge” levels, which continually disrupts the gameplay. I didn’t feel that the puzzles were worth watching all these ads. Also, the large-scale levels are really annoying to play. The size of the entire block arrangement is so big that the individual blocks are tiny on the screen. You can zoom in, but you can’t control how much to zoom in—it’s either zoomed all the way out or all the way in. Zoomed out, the blocks are tiny, and I had to strain my eyes to try to see the path of each block. Also, when I tried to select a block, sometimes my finger would accidentally hit the block next to it (because the blocks are so tiny), and I would lose a move. Zoomed in, you can’t see enough of the overall arrangement to see the path of a block, so that view is pretty much useless. I got a headache from playing just one of the challenge levels, so I deleted the app. Not worth it at all.

PAID NO-ADS, TOOK MY MONEY THEN SAID “DIDN’T GO THROUGH

I paid twice the $4.99 to remove the ads, and twice, my money was deducted, then TWICE, I got the “Could not finish purchase, check your internet.” BULL$**T! (The only reason why I happened to do it twice is because I had forgotten that I did this a month prior and at the time I was playing a bunch of new games so I’d actually forgotten that I already purchased no ads) My Internet was completely fine and it still deducted the money from my account, and the ads were still there. I tried hitting “restore purchases,“ and it still didn’t work. I emailed them through their website and sent a separate email and still have gotten NO response. Finally I asked Apple for a refund and the problem with that is I can only ask for one refund so I’m still out five bucks! It’s very annoying to have the money taken out and still have to watch through their 50 million ads. If they would fix that issue I’d actually be pretty happy with the game. And there was another user who said the developers don’t seem to be reading these comments and I would have to agree that that is true. I don’t understand these app developers, once they start making their millions of dollars, they abandon the players who are making them rich, it’s absolutely despicable!!!!!!

could be a solid game…but not yet

Listen, this game is weirdly relaxing with the general idea of tapping away the block but the little useless quirks make it incredibly annoying to play. I never wrote reviews but I’m hoping this might actually get the developers to make changes. As someone that paid for the game, it’s ridiculous that I’m still being forced to tap the gold blocks and interrupt my gameplay to get coins or tap away from the ranking interruptions. This could easily be saved to the end of the level. Or have it be a progress bar on the side that’s clickable for coins once you rank up. And the gold blocks are farrrrr too frequent. Have them be less frequent and worth way more and maybe be on a time limit to be more fun. And please let them all be gone when one is clicked (i.e, “you found 7 gold blocks” rather than having to click each individual one to get rid if them). Also, while I’m at it, maybe add more display settings like background customization or something (speaking as someone that has everything on dark mode always). All around, it’s fun when it’s actually playable. I could see it being a 5 star with these changes.

Not Bad if you upgrade to no ads

I gave it 2 stars becaus it’s a fun mind numbing game. The pop sound and floating block graphics are peaceful to play. But I ONLY gave it 2 stars because you can’t play a level in a single sitting. There are a zillion ads that pop up within each single level. Most games with ads LT u accomplish a level then you suffer thru the ad. Not this one. Every time you get on a SHORT roll, it breaks to an ad. Additional ads come in when ther is a golden block to the point where you dread this benefit of golden blocks. In addition to getting an ad with the golden blocks, in order to get many points from the golden blocks, YOU HAVE TO WATCH ANOTHER AD!!! Why are ads so disruptive in this game? Each time you get on a roll deleting blocks, AD BREAK!! Then, when you restart after the ad, the set of blocks resets its position instead of resuming where you were in the game. You have to rotate until you find your spot, zoom in so your fingers only tap one block at a time, then pan to the location where you were working. This occurs with each and very ad break. I have not counted, but there are a min of maybe 30 ads per level. Too bad too. I deleted the app. Don’t download unless you pay for th ad free version.

Fun game, no goals whatsoever

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It’s a great one to clear your mind and pass the time. There is one clear problem though. Even though it’s perfect to just play and put down, picking it right back up where you left off, there’s literally no reason to play. In fact I went as free, which I never do. Here’s the problem, there are no real goals. Progressing levels is okay, but no real rewards for it. The daily goals award coins, which are totally useless. The bar at the top that progresses it’s just a countdown timer to ads, because that bar awards..coins. The challenges can be really interesting but again…coins. I’m on level 75 with nearly 80,000 coins and nothing to spend them on. If coins are the reward but nothing to use them on, it makes the reward useless. Skins are kind of cool but the basic ones are easily the best to use, it may be useful to have different unlock able backgrounds? Some of the themes are interesting but take away from the game itself. Like I said, fun game to okay by itself, the “reward” system has no meaning. That may be why other users are annoyed with the constant interruptions while playing ad free.

Fun game but has issues

I like playing this game, but there are some things that bother me. After puzzle pieces were given as rewards in an event, I didn’t receive the last two skins that you get for completing puzzles, even though all my puzzles are complete thanks to the puzzle pieces I got from the event. This makes me sad, because I really wanted the penguin block. There is a thing within the app to contact the developers for support, but they haven’t answered it and I don’t think they read anything there. I keep checking to see if they responded to me, but they still haven’t, and my first message about those two missing puzzle skins were sent a month ago. I also am frustrated with the gold blocks and constant attempts to force you to watch ads, even if you have paid for no ads. I also wish there were more things to spend coins on, because there comes a point where you just build up lots of coins but then don’t have much to spend them on. People might be more willing to watch voluntary ads if there were more things to spend coins on after you buy every other possible thing.

Enjoy but some bugs

I paid to remove ads and now I can’t reset any level and start over. I have to watch the video for an additional 10 moves. I don’t wanna watch videos that’s why I paid not no ads, I’d rather just solve the puzzles. I find it very cathartic and I really enjoy it but now it’s annoying when I get to the end because I can’t reset the level so I have to play on no matter what. It blows. Also I hate the little gold boxes that pop us. I get it they have money but it takes forever for the button to pop up so I can bypass the coin multiplier. Honestly theres not even a lot of uses for the coins so I feel like you guys should just take that out and have a simple tap the gold box for coins. Overall it’s only a 3 because the actual puzzle part is fun and I like the different skins because some are easier to solve with while others make it harder (in my opinion). Without the content being there I’d rate it a 1 for structure because honestly it makes no sense. It’s wayyyy too similar to parking jam but In this game the layout doesn’t make complete sense. It almost feels like a lazy copy/paste.

Too many interruptions and bugs

Update: recent versions are so buggy, with so many interruptions to gameplay, I’m deleting the game, notwithstanding my recent purchase. It’s not worth it, how much this game leaves me annoyed. For example: the new “special” block feature. Don’t leave a special block to be the last one you clear, or you might get stuck/trapped in an empty level with no way to progress forward. Like I am. Original: Bought this game a few weeks ago because gameplay was chill and there were WAY too many ads in the free version. It was great for a few weeks. Fantastic way to pass time if that’s what you’re looking for. But the last couple of updates have been really disappointing. First was an update that apparently broke some of the 3D textures on my phone (iPhone 12 Pro) … instead of gold reflective I get buggy, flat hot pink. Destroys what was my favorite skin to play. Multiple reboots and OS patches have not fixed it. Then there was the update so it now interrupts gameplay every minute or so to tell me that I’m advancing to a new “rank”. Talk about annoying! Please make it so I can opt out of these constant pop ups. Honestly, I like the game but I’m about to uninstall unless it stops going downhill.

If Ads Annoy You, Walk Away

I really enjoy playing this game, the mechanics of it at least. It’s relaxing and satisfying to complete a level, and the sculptures the blocks make are fun to try and figure out. The skins are lackluster (except for like, 2 of them). There’s not enough variation in color and not much detail in the backgrounds; most of them are a solid color as though the sculpture is floating in an uncanny void. And MY GOD THE ADS. Depending on how quickly you solve these puzzles, you could run into an ad as frequently as every minute. And they’re not even good or entertaining ads! Most of them are created in an ad engine and thus don’t even accurately represent the actual game they’re advertising. They’re dumb, shallow and downright irritating. I have a feeling if they made the ads less frequent, they’d have more players, which would mean they could leverage for more expensive ad rates which means their advertisers would want to make their ads better quality to make the most of that slot - and then I might actually stick around for the ads rather than closing out the game almost every time one plays.

I absolutely love this game but...

This is an excellent game but it constantly interrupts your gameplay with these level up and ranking screens. Sure, I leveled up. So what's the point of interrupting my gameplay to let me know? Also, I don't care about the leaderboard. I'm not here for a leaderboard, I'm just here to play a game on my leisurely time. The little merging mini game is also great. It's weirdly relaxing and I really enjoy playing...HOWEVER, the CONSTANT pop ups for the boosts are extremely annoying. ESPECIALLY when I am opening the crates, it pops up, and I accidently hit either the watch an ad button or the pay in-game money to get the boost. That right there is extremely infuriating. If I was interested in getting the boost, I would hit the button at the top of the screen for it. Please STOP interrupting my gameplay with an invitation for a boost. Beside the constant interruptions (which I would LOVE to see these get removed), this game is very enjoyable and calming. I like to play this game (both the main game and the merging mini game)

Not happy. Developers please read. This has to be a bug

This game used to be great to play. This is why I chose to not watch ads and decided to pay for the ad-free option. The problem with this is that they also changed what happens when you press the reset button. It no longer gives you new cubes, it just explodes the view, and then re-lines them up giving you the same amount of cubes you had. You are now forced into playing the puzzle even though you know you are going to lose. So you explode as many as you can with the bombs, but they take forever to reset. Now once I’m out of moves I CAN’T just go onto the next puzzle. The game gives you the option of watching a video for 10 more moves. If you press retry, the puzzle forces you to just continue with ZERO moves, not to start over. You are then forced into watching the ads in order to get extra moves so that you can finally end the game. It’s just a way for the game to make money off of people who have already paid for an ad free service. I can find some other game to dull my find. A game like this doesn’t warrant spending so much money.

Addicting game, but obnoxious interruptions

I love the addictive quality of this game, but there are many changes I would make. We don’t need all these garish-looking skins and animations; there are only 2-3 that I prefer to use. Additionally, I would gladly pay $3-5 for an ad-free version. Being constantly interrupted by ads is beyond annoying. Besides, coin accumulation is essentially pointless. I have nearly half a million coins, and the only way I spend them is on dynamite (which annoyingly takes way too long to restore). My newest gripe is that there seem to be bugs in the most recent update. I’ll finish a level, but the game will sit there as if there are still blocks to clear. On the timed games, the timer will continue to run down. Once it runs out, I have to click the “add 15 seconds” button, sit through an ad, and then the timer again runs down with no blocks to clear. So it’s stuck in a loop until I go back to the main menu. It’s prevented me from advancing levels. FIX THIS PLEASE!!!

Well that was anti-climactic

So they had a feature in the new endless mode but if you collected in boxes is generally one entire layer and then a half another layer you got a free boost and it would remove an entire layer for you which is great. Like many of their other games they also have challenges to finish. One of the major ones is to finish and acquire perhaps five boosts in InBliss. This wasn’t too hard if you worked really diligently clearing boxes. However they now want you to watch an ad for every boost that to fulfill the boost challenges. And now you have to have 8-13 boosts per that Boost Challenge. You now have to watch a crap ton of ads just to fulfill this challenge i’m getting all these boosts and endless mode. I’m not happy about this, because there’s already a crap ton of ads that come up every time you play a new level, and every time that it switches to a new layer on the boxes this is gosh dang ridiculous. Not cool. At all. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND DISLIKE THE ADS, put your phone in airplane mode or disable WiFi for this specific app. It will help cut down the ads unless you want to intentionally watch an ad to skip something.

Epic Fail Developers!!

5/1/23 it’s as if the developers can’t read or don’t care. After all the complaints about the gold blocks what do they do???? They add silver ones. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!???!!! They don’t go away immediately and there’s a bug and you can get stuck with the chests but no keys! So done until they get rid of those dammmmmm blocks cuz you can’t even get 10 seconds of play with out something popping up. Eff that! This is a great game however the developers ruined it. Between the ‘special’ blocks and the game announcing your level, you’re lucky to get in 5 taps before being interrupted! I want to play the game! I understand the ‘special’ blocks provide income but who the heck cares about their game level? Does the game really need to stop the player every 10-15 seconds to announce it? Please change this so people can actually enjoy this really cool game. I will update my review if things change but for now it’s a great game but ruined cuz you’re constantly acknowledging either a special block or level increases. Just let us play! I can’t imagine people who haven’t paid to remove ads get any game play at all. You have a great game here, just make it more enjoyable for the player!

Some crucial updates/changes

Game is good for what it is. It’s not bad, it’s good for real time killing. Good mundane activity to occupy myself and can be a challenge to see how fast I can go. But, some changes need to happen. Stop interrupting game play by meaningless level upgrading notifications, golden ( or any other special cubes) cubes that, yes earn you coins to use to get things, but how about you show the total earned at the end of the level. I care not about what standing I’m in when it has no barring on game play. If difficulty went up or there were new and different designs of the levels that would be one thing, but the only thing that changes is the color of the level. The designs are boring now, change them up. Please change some stuff. Maybe bigger designs and more than one color in each level, something. I don’t care about the puzzle pieces or different cube colors, designs or special effects. If they added value to the experience then ok, but the wrong areas of the game were thought out more than the main course of the app.

Honest review

I like this type of puzzle game so I actually paid the money for the ads to be taken out. There were far too many to play for any long period of time to not do that but I waited and put up with the ads until I knew I’d spend a good bit of time playing. I’m on level 300+ and after awhile I noticed that they just recycle the same puzzle shapes over and over which gets a bit boring. I wish they’d add some more content to the game. They do have plenty of different styles of puzzle blocks but I generally just stick with the same one anyway. I play on my iPhone and the screen is pretty big but sometimes when the puzzle is large, the individual blocks get so small that it’s impossible to use your fingers and I have to find a stylus to use. If you have any kind of problem with your eyesight or dexterity don’t bother downloading this game because it will only frustrate you! All of that being said, I still use this app to fill in time gaps during the day because I find it somewhat challenging and still entertaining.

Hate the changes

The new gold cubes that are supposed to be a reward all they do is interrupt play. You can’t go past certain cubes without stopping to acknowledge these stupid cold cubes that don’t give you much at all. All they do is encourage you to watch a video. I paid so I don’t have to watch the stupid ads. I don’t care about having more points, because the points really don’t give you any advantage. For me it’s just aMindless activity to help me destress. But, when you have to stop the game to deal with the stupid cold cubes, and every time you reach a new level you have to stop the game to acknowledge the new level. This game isn’t fun. The whole point for me with this game is to distress. I don’t need to stop the game to doThese tasks that have no purpose. If you don’t either given the option to not have these tasks or eliminate them all together I’m going to stop playing the game. Losing me may mean nothing, however in reading the recent reviews, it appears mine is not the only opinion like this. I haven’t seen anybody who seems to enjoy the changes that you have made. You might wanna roll those changes back, or I may not be the only customer you lose.

Some Things Need Fixing

This game is really fun and has many different activities. But there are some pros and cons to this game. Lucky, you can play this game without internet. When you are not playing with internet it doesn’t make you watch all of the adds. I was playing that one merge game where you conquer the world, which was very good. But I started to realize that my cash(which is harder to get) began to disappear. I had at least 350, then around 230, and at last 9. It was very weird once I realize what was happening because I’m the type of person to not spend my money until there are things worth the use. But idk, maybe I may have “accidentally” paid for it when they showed on of the MANY pop up adds for bonus. The worst thing about this game is all of the adds. Most of the time, you can only successfully click 12 blocks or less before getting an add. You also can’t click on more than 3-4 golden blocks before getting an add. It’s very annoying because you can barely play the game

Enjoyable with frustration

I enjoyed the game so I purchased it to get away from adds. Frustrating and very annoying part: each level the games jumps a level up screen and you have to select to play on. Then there is the special box that you must remove some to clear boxes…I find that annoying since it jumps to a screen to show how many extra coins just earned. It would be nice to show all of that at the end of the level. Now the most frustrating part is I am stuck on level 73. I almost finished that level one night but I stopped the game and now I am stuck on level 73. I can clear all the blocks and nothing at all. That right there makes me regret paying for the game. I absolutely hate paying for games unless I really enjoy it. I almost came close asking a refund from apple on this game. I have also emailed the developer twice and no response yet. Just last week I emailed them about my level 73 issue and thank them for the new version that offered the feature to turn off the level up and special box feature but now that is gone. 😖😣🤬😡🤬

Reset button

This game was so fun and I had a really so time playing it and enjoyed playing it on long car rides. There are many nice things about it like, not a lot of ads, and you don’t need internet to play the game. There are also some bad things about this game like, it is very time consuming, and the levels are hard, and the title of this review, THE RESET BUTTON. I was playing the game and I was about to finish the level with a good amount of blocks left, and I went to click a block to make it float away and the block was apparently too close to the reset button because when I clicked the button all of the blocks reappeared and all of my progress was destroyed and my hour trying to pass the level was gone. I was confused for a moment until I realized that a bit of my finger was on the reset button. Being fully honest I feel like it is a very good game but I think that the reset button is a bit to big and should be put on a different part of the screen so this won’t happen again to anyone.

Too glitchy

It has probs playing the videos. They crash or freeze. I can only restart the game to play more. I once got to a screen that told me I got my reward, but I don’t know if I did because that screen froze. I only watch ads to provide income for the devs. I cannot afford to rent games or upgrades anymore. I spent too much on my stupid-phone. I’ll bet you call yours a smart phone. I remember when a phone minded it’s own business & didn’t own the person who paid for it. This game bogs down my iPad because of it’s ads. It also tells me I have no internet connection whenever I try to get 2x rewards, yet runs live ads continuously at the bottom. All Popcore games are like this. The game lags while the live ads run fine because Popcore doesn’t care if you play the game, as long as they can force you to watch more and more ads. And if you do pay, guess what… it will still bribe you with tiny perks to watch ads! Even though you paid to play! All of my MobilityWare games run on my wifi just fine. And I’m not required to watch ads. I CAN watch them for a xtra perks.

No pop-ups please!!!

Coming on here to say what many others have. I honestly can’t believe I forked over $5 for ad-free, but I really like the concept and enjoy playing. Despite that I can’t even get a full minute of gameplay that isn’t interrupted by the stupid gold cubes or leveling up. I would rather have no coins than deal with the special cubes. Please get rid of all the pop-ups! They make me want to delete the app all together. Also, please work on optimizing the game overall. The only skin I can use is the original one and even that one can hurt my eyes with how bright the colors are if I move the puzzle a certain way. Please make it so the puzzles fit better on phone screens, as they are usually too small and when I zoom in it becomes impossible to tap some of the cubes no matter how I move the puzzle without zooming out. You should be able to move to all parts of the puzzle. The rotation is fun, but makes it impossible to tap all the cubes at certain zoom levels and angles.

Stuck on level 73

You guys did another update yesterday but not to address the complaints everyone has. We are still all stuck on different levels and there are still entirely too many ads even after paying for ad free version. Y’all did an update on Dec 5th but it did NOT fix the issue of getting stuck on levels with only a puzzle piece and special block left and not being able to move on to the next level. Ridiculous that I paid this app and can’t even continue to play. I even started over at level one and went all the way through to level 73 again and it still only has a puzzle piece and special block. No way to move forward. Expecting an update to fix it soon or I will be filing for a refund. After paying for the app I’m currently stuck on level 73. No blocks appear. It only gives me 1 puzzle piece and 1 special block that earns me coins. When I click these then the screen is clear but it doesn’t move me to the next level. There are no blocks to move to get to the next level so it just sits there on level 73.

This used to be a 5 star app.

I’ve played this game for a couple years; since before it was “3D”. It was simple yet challenging and quite addictive. L O V E D it. And then the upgrades started. ‘Zoom’ is a new feature; except it’s either in or out without any in between. You can see the block you’re tapping but not its path. Very frustrating. ‘Moves’ are also new; which is a definite drawback for people like me who don’t have steady hands. There’s no option to choose this feature or not, unless you’re content with the boring (and unchallenging) infinity cube. Finally - and this is the most infuriating part of all - do not click out of the game for any incoming messages, notifications, phone calls, etc. When you switch back, your entire progress resets; regardless of how far you were in the puzzle. It’s heartbreaking to struggle with the disadvantages to 275 moves into a 300+ move piece and have to take a phone call knowing it was all in vain. I reached out via email to Popcore over an issue with the ads early on, received a generic response, replied to them, and never heard back. Unfortunately, do not recommend this game any longer.

Relatively fun game with way too many bugs

First things first, I don’t know if the app has a problem with my phone, but the app completely freezes every time I tap on a special block (little golden blocks that pop up and give you coins). And I mean EVERY TIME. It makes the game almost unplayable. I have to close out the app and re open it every time I tap a special block. I don’t even want the coins, but if you don’t move the special blocks they block the other ones from being moved. Once, the game glitched out and zoomed in on a present block and wouldn’t show me the rest of the blocks I needed to complete the level. I had to restart the level. The other problem I have is pretty similar to other people’s problem, it really just doesn’t get more difficult. Like at the beginning you start off with a few blocks at a time, and then suddenly you’re doing several hundred blocks and from there it just never gets harder, the levels seem randomized. And it takes forever to earn challenge levels that actually do increase in difficulty.

More of an ad-viewer than game

I can’t add anything that hasn’t already been said: it’s fun, a little addicting, but MY GOD there are a ton of ads. What I can add is that I counted the number of ad-break interruptions I got in a few different levels, add together both interruption types, then get a number and add it to this review. You get ads from either “leveling up” or the “special block”. Leveling Up is apparently triggered when the number of successful moves adds to a given number, then you get to watch an ad. The “special blocks” happen when a gold block is added to the level, but in reality it just changes one block to a gold block, and clearing the gold block triggers an ad. You can add to your coin bonus by watching an ad, or you can skip that and watch an ad. Either way…you’re adding an ad to your life somehow. Then there are ads for gift boxes, puzzle piece boxes, and ads required to add cosmetic stuff to the game. So the answer? I averaged about 11-12 ads per 100 moves in the game, so the number of times I said “add” or “ad” shouldn’t be that surprising!

Wasted Money

I am totally addicted to this game. I can’t put it down. I know - that doesn’t match the title. Let me explain. The only downside to this app is that it is designed for no other purpose than to show you advertisements. But what if you purchase the app instead of playing the free version you ask. That brings us to the title. Even after paying you will be pushed to watch an advertisement at every corner. The only difference between the free version and the paid version is stability. The free version locked up more often when you played it offline where it wasn’t able to pull down an ad. I say more often because occasionally I have had to close and reopen the paid version to get past a point where it wanted to push an ad but had no internet connection. There is no incentive to pay. Don’t get suckered into paying thinking the number of times it will ask you to see an ad will drop. You can bypass a lot of the ads in both versions so why pay?

Glitchy

I love the game but there’s a few things that turn me off when playing. The tap counter does not work correctly it says you have so many taps but it takes away multiple taps with one tap it is upsetting to have only tapped twice and have 6 taps be counted and taken off. The other issue is the frequency of ads throughout each level every 45 seconds to every minute it’s extremely excessive and frustrating and a 30 seconds ad for 10 extra moves that you don’t get because of the counter glitching is very annoying when I have to watch 8 30 seconds adds to complete the level. The last thing is bad lagging when you play longer than 30 minutes it gets extremely lagging and glitches worse which drains my battery quickly. I love playing this game but the glitches and excessive ads make it one of the last I go to play. Would love to see these things fixed so I can play more without feeling annoyed on the first level I play when opening it.

Fun but buggy :/

I love this game, but with the feature that you level up and then gold coin blocks appear makes the game glitch like crazy. I HAVE to click those boxes so I can finish a level, and no matter whether I choose to watch an add to get the extra amount of coins or if I settle for the smaller amount, the game freezes once the coins are accepted and I cannot continue gameplay unless I completely close out and force quit the app. And the problem with this is it makes playing the game incredibly annoying and kills even more of my phone battery. Not to mention that every time I force quit and have to reopen the app to continue the level, sometimes it will start the entire level over again and the load screen takes a little bit of time as it is. It’s frustrating to get almost completely through a level, just to have to click a gold coin box to finish the level, and have the level completely restart after that.

2 years ago, Repetitive Ad Despiser

I hate this game.

I bought this game so I could escape the ceaseless parade of 30+ second ads it showed for other games. It kept trying to entice me to watch more ads with endless simplistic”puzzles” whose only purpose was to make you watch more ads. I’m now up to Level 588 - obviously I used to like it a lot! - and on two turns in a row the only thing it would allow me to do was to attempt to click 4-6 cubes with only one click. The only way it would allow you to proceed was to “purchase” 10 more clicks by watching a 30-second ad. Quitting and restarting the game multiple times had no effect. It always brought you immediately back to the same choice. It was like a episode of The Twilight Zone! Exasperated, I finally gave in and let the hateful ad play - with my iPad face down on the floor. I got through that and figured that now I could once again play this relaxing game. The very next game it gives me six cubes to click with only 1 available click, unless of course I watch another of their damnable ads. This game (Tap Away) and the company that spawned it (Popcore GmbH) are now dead to me forever!!!!!!

Every change they make is a terrible decision

I love sitting around tapping away the blocks, it was comforting somehow. The addition of the golden block and all the other interruptions were a terrible decision. I paid for no ads, I’m still able to skip ads if I wait a few seconds but I’m tired of the constant interruptions to the game play. Some of it could wait until I finish the puzzle! I do not care about leaderboards in the MIDDLE of a puzzle. I was able to put up with alllll of it though until last week. Somehow with this newest update the blocks no longer make the little popping sound when I tap them. THAT was the soothing part for me. I’ve checked my sounds in the game and on my phone. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled losing all my progress on what I’ve earned. Nothing fixes it so it has to me something on their end. Developers…. If you’re reading BRING BACK THE SOUND. That was the final straw for me. And if you need to have leaderboards and such please make it so it only shows us our standing at the end of a puzzle. Less interruptions would satisfy the majority of your players!

Almost Unplayable

I love the game. But I couldn't play it. There are too many interruptions. I didn't purchase the no ads. But I shouldn't have to. I play solitaries with ads. I found this game through ads. Ads are fine. But they shouldn't interrupt the gameplay. There are two major problems with ads in this game. One is that almost every time you "level up" you get an ad. You level up about once per minute. Leveling up does not become more difficult to complete. By the time I uninstalled the game, I was on about level 12 of the game, but had leveled up around 40 times. The second problem is the golden blocks. From what I have read, these are not removed even if you buy the no ads version. Once you remove so many blocks from the game, you get golden blocks. These give you coins when you click on them. The problem is, they don't just go away when you click. Clicking them gives a pop up. It will then prompt you to watch an ad for extra coins for around 5 seconds before giving you the option to not watch an ad. Even if you click that you don't want to watch an ad, sometimes an ad will come up anyways. You can't ignore these golden blocks, as if you don't remove them, you can't complete the level. Even if you buy the game, it will still tell you that you need to watch an ad to get the extra coins, and not immediately give you the option to say no. This is not worth your time. Go find another free to play game that isn't 50% ads.

Used to like; now really annoying

I started out really liking this game a lot, but now it's *really* annoying. Another reviewer, Jonnie Roten, said it very well: "The 'special blocks' pop up non-stop and you have no choice but to click on them to get rid of them or they'll get in the way of the game play. Then they bring you an option to watch an ad for more coins and it takes several seconds before you can just select to collect the coins... to get back to the game." The level increases are frequent, but they also come with ads; however, these ads are slightly less annoying, because they are easier to dismiss. Further from Jonnie Roten: "I'd rather collect no coins than have the constant interruptions. All you can buy with coins are the skins anyway and I personally prefer the one the game starts you with, so the coins are useless to me." It seems this applies even if you buy the ad-free version. When it started out, there were very few popups; now, they are everywhere. I will no longer play this game.
