Ratings & Reviews

37K Ratings Ads. Are. Annoying.

This is easily one of my favorite games of all time. Its so simple to learn, but can still be fun and challenging when trying to reach the highest tiles, scores, and learning new strategies. This game is still a fun game to play and I have been addicted to it for years now, with breaks occasionally. I used to mostly just play on computers but i got annoyed with not being able to keep my high scores, or keep my game going wherever I go. So, my easy solution was to download the mobile version. The gameplay is great, everything is super smooth and I can never recall the game crashing. But, whenever i am on wifi (I turned off mobile data use) the ads are SUPER FRUSTRATING. Every time I open the app I anticipate and ad popping up, but there is often a delay. So as soon as I begin to play out of nowhere an ad pops up. This usually causes me to accidentally click on it and the ad opens the app store page. This is always the most annoying thing. There is also the occasional ad that will pop up out of no where. It always throws me off and I usually will just leave the game because I get so annoyed with the ad.

Let me explain.

So numero uno prob, I have random friends that I can’t remember adding, like does it not ask your permission? and two, a friend has the game but we couldn’t play together because the multiplayer doesn’t work. I just won’t connect. And I will come into the game, and I swipe and then a random add pops up! Like what? The game is good overall, but it can get a little confusing. Like about your top five scores. So What I got my first game on this version was pretty bad and I showed it up top because it was my first game. But then I beat it and that was the top. Then I didn’t beat my top, but I did beat my original, which was second. But it didn’t get listed on there anywhere. And by now I have played more games than the five scores it says it displays, but only four are up there and the last one is that first one even though it’s been beaten numerous times. You can only get a new score up there if you beat your top score. I wish you would fix this it would really make my game play more enjoyable. Overall it is a non laggy game, and is extremely addicting and fun. But developers, please take this review into your account. I love this game and would recommend it to everybody with some patience. Just one more thing, how do people get TEN MILLION, I mean I’m pretty good at this but are these people bots? I would really like clarification! Thank you!

Unpredictability is killing me!

Good game, the app is fine, the adds don't bother me-they don't cause a crash and you just exit out of them. My problem is the unpredictability that only happens when you're right on the verge of getting a higher tile. Once you hit a new tile, that possibly took months or years-then you can hit it almost every try after that. It's not that your skill drastically increased, only that the game FINALLY let you. For instance, I'll only be 1024 away from my goal tile when suddenly I have to swipe up because the game decides to be unpredictable. Then a number (90% of the time) appears under my highest tile. Then it gives me a four instead of a two, which of course doesn't match, and just like that-poof. The game is lost. I don't give up then, but I'm again irritated at the unpredictability. It's not a learning game at that point. It's chance. Or better yet, a sick sense of humor by the developers. It's not poor planning by the player. Okay, most times that is the problem, but a few times-it's not. You'll play perfectly to the strategy that works all up until suddenly the game starts changing it up for no reason, and with no purpose other than to make you loose. I actually like this about the game-but not after a year or more of being stuck on the same tile.

Ads pause audio playback every 10 seconds

I have spent so much time playing this game. It’s fine. I don’t play it because I love it, I play it because it helps me focus while on phone calls, if I’m listening to a podcast or audiobook, and when going to bed. It keeps my brain just busy enough that I don’t meander off, but not so busy that I can’t think.But those days are coming to an end. There is a small banner ad at the bottom of the page. Totally unobtrusive. Except when it changes, it freezes the game for a half second and pauses any audio you have playing. This can happen every 5-10 seconds and often it’s just to play the same ad. These ads don’t even make noise when nothing is playing and when the phone is NOT on silent! There is no reason they should pause other audio, and yet they do.I’ve hit the 8192 tile on this game, it’s the only game on my phone these days, but I’ll be finding a new one now.I do not understand this, I don’t get why it changed. This is clearly an oversight as the developer is certainly got getting more money just because my audiobook stops playing. I’m pretty sure it’s a bug of some sort. I doubt anyone is downloading this game these days, but please do not. There are other versions of this game. Find one that isn’t broken.
