You've eliminated the weekly treasure hunt and now it's only rewinds a majority of the time; the hunts were my favorite part of the game. To top it off, there are now forced ads after playing a level, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. This app used to be fun, but it's clearly turned into a greedy cash grab. My understanding is that it was purchased by new owners, so maybe the plan is to grift as much as they can as fast as they can and then kill the app when enough people finally leave. ✌️

This used to be one of my favorite casual games. They recently cut down the number of turns so each level is almost impossible to beat without buying boosters or watching ads. I used to be able to win several levels in a row without any boosters, but now it takes days to beat one level, even when I'm watching ads to get more boosters every time. Really frustrating and sad that such a great game has fallen to corporate greed.

I've been playing this for years, made it through multiple phones, but I will likely be uninstalling now. I just got my first pop up video ad, I've never gotten one of these while playing before. I've watched ads to get boosts, but never a unskippable video just for finishing a round. Just not worth it. Seems the app must be hurting for money, the number of pop ups within the game has been getting crazy with them trying to "keep you engaged" with a million contests, etc. Not enjoyable anymore.

I used to love the original dots game, and I've been enjoying this one as well, but the sheer number of pop ups is getting ridiculous. Every 2 games, you get an unskippable ad. Along with this, I've been stuck playing the same levels over and over again because there's just barely too few a number of moves. The designs are cute and fun, but I'm having to uninstall this because I can't deal with all the pop ups that you can't turn off.

I made it fairly far in the game, but after an update or something, I'm getting ads after every. Single. Level. Win or lose. I can understand ads for hints or for bonuses, but mandatory in-between levels ads is too much. I can't with this level of buggy ads, so, off to find another game. It was fun while it lasted, tho.

I used to love this game. The design and sounds and music are all so lovely and calming and the best part was that it was one of the few games where you didn't have to watch ads to play the game - they were optional if you wanted extra power-ups. But now they've added non-optional ads after almost every level you play. I haven't brought myself to delete the game yet because I loved and enjoyed it for so long, but as soon as the first ad comes up I exit out of the app. Incredibly disappointing.

Love this game but it seems to decide that you won't beat a level and that's it, you're stuck there. For ex: clear 10 anchors to pass level, but 0 anchors appear for most of that level. If it weren't for the rewind and flipboard games, I would have stopped playing long ago. Too many popup/popover menus. Sometimes it won't register the first touch and so you lose out on a move because of it. Should have ability to undo one move and a dark mode or at least followed my phone settings. And now ads!

I've been playing this game for years. I used to love it, but it's gotten to be impossible to pass levels without spending money. The helper items & gold are way too expensive, and there are barely any bonus "freebies" compared to almost every other game like it. Plus they got rid of a bunch of perks, i.e. 1 hour unlimited play. I've been on level 5620 forever, and I'm gonna HAVE to spend $$$ to pass it, which I won't do anymore. You guys lost a long time paying customer.

I used to really like this app but after a recent update or something I'm getting an ad after EVERY TIME I play a level. Lose, win, doesn't matter. It's incredibly frustrating. I thought it was normally ad free before I started getting them shoved in my face. The game is challenging and encourages you to pay for stuff, but still possible to play free—I got to level 464 with a lot of patience and didn't pay a single dime. But now I can't even play it without tons of ads. It doesn't feel worth it

I've played this game for YEARS and it's been a really enjoyable way to pass the time, but it's increasingly becoming unbearable. There's way too much extra stuff (popups, mainly) going on now. The new addition of seeing ads at random when finishing a level is extra annoying. And levels seem to be incredibly hard to beat. I know capitalism has to eventually ruin everything, but this is still so disappointing.

A friend recommended this to me as a stress relief, and it has been exactly that for me so far! I love the relaxing mellow music and easy game play. The scavenger hunt is very charming as well! Im still at the easier levels, so only time will tell if its just as relaxing when i get stuck! Haha Update: 5/26/24 it's been a few months. I'm on lvl 600+, there has been a few lvls that took me many tries to complete, but its still pretty fun for me!

I like playing this game but there's hardly opportunities to get coins unless you purchase them in app. Half the time when you watch a video for an extra life or a booster, the screen goes black after you've watched the whole video and the game never loads so you have to close the app, go back in, and watch a video all over again IF the option is still available. Sometimes the option disappears and you're stuck.

Update: Ads have taken over. It went from no ads at all. Now they pop up after every 2 rounds completed. I have loved this game for 10 years. I think it is now time to move on. New quests are good in theory but need reworking. I have not been able to complete a single one because there is always a task that is unavailable. The last 2 days one was to complete a rewind level and rewind is not available. please update this so that the quests are actually possible to complete.

Great game, and addicting at the beginning. Minimal ads, fun, but challenging gameplay, charming music, art, & animations, however, gameplay gets very stale after 5-8 hours. You realize there's a ton of new enemy dots/block types to discover in each new world, but you have to play 20 levels (each level takes 5-10min) before moving on to the next world. So I made it to world 3 before wishing I could skip ahead, and try the new challenges/blocks. But you can't, & by this point, the magic is gone.

Update - cosmic blast is also broken. If you replay a level and clear it on your last move it thinks you failed. Been playing for around 10 years and used to love it but now it's all ADS! Also feels like everything is a cash grab now. Levels being unlucky/extremely hard for no reason so you have to buy or use power ups and gold. Very sad with the shift. Went from a 5 star game to a 1 star game.

Exceptionally challenging and thereby frustrating. The life system in these puzzle games irritates me to no end. I think a fun addition to the game would be an endless "zen" mode, where one could just, play for hours and never have to win or get things done. No lives lost either. It would be fun!

I love this game, super fun and challenging!! UPDATE 2023: the more you update the game, the longer the ads become. Update 8/2023: since I've hit level 5,000, it's become virtually impossible to get thru some of the levels. If you can resist the urge to continually buy coins and just do it occasionally it's worth the download. I understand they need to make money but I think you really need self control or you'll end up spending hundreds like I did. 😱

Pls stop taking me back to the level selection screen after every level. Wastes a lot of time/unnecessary use of battery. I guess they just don't want you to forget what app you're in, like for branding purposes? I like the game for the super simple design, so please stop showing me the cluttered level screen between every game. Also no offense but the little mascots are unnecessary, they don't really fit the color scheme or simple look of the game. Just want to hit next and play the next lvl.

This game makes no sense. There is no strategy involved for the water dots games. The objectives aren't clear. It says to move 53 dots in 35 moves, but it doesn't count the dots removed when water is covering them. And there's no way to move dots that don't have the same colors in direct vertical or horizontal proximity. I don't see what the point is. Also I'm on level 17 and the previous 11 levels have been THE SAME. It doesn't feel like I'm advancing or strategizing or learning anything new

I liked it until I finally failed a level on the first try and realized that I couldn't get the golden button later. So now my map will be incomplete no matter what I do. Completely ruins it for me, I can't stand that I can't get it. I like a lot of the other parts like the mini games, design, and gameplay. But if it's going to force me to have incompletes just so they can push buying power ups so you finish the level the first time. Sucks cause I thought I found a game I could really get into
