Let me explain to you how this is going to go. Of course you are going to see an ad or two on the way in that’s normal. Once game play starts you’ll notice a banner ad at the bottom of the screen. It seems harmless until it invades your screen without warning while you are playing. Fear not, soon you will be able to tell when it’s coming because it happens literally every 15 seconds. No joke every 15 seconds it will cover 3/4 of your screen. You can immediately exit the ad, usually. Every minute you will enter an ad break. This will allow you to exit after a brief period of time. When you open the settings you will open an ad. There’s a daily bonus feature but in order to receive it you have to watch an ad. There’s a wheel spin bonus, that also interrupts gameplay without warning, but in order to spin you have to watch an ad. How anyone could endure this relentless bombardment of ads is beyond me. I honestly believe this game isn’t meant to be enjoyed it’s merely a platform to run ads. Forgive me if you actually hoped to make something entertaining but you’ve destroyed any chance of that with such a ridiculous amount of ads. Five ads every minute. For real. It’s impossible to enjoy this.

I wish I could give this less than one star. Sadly it looks like it could be a nice mindless little zen game of tetrising block shapes around a board but we will never honestly know. The ads are SO intrusive and badly formatted for the app that it renders the entire game entirely unplayable. From the bottom of the screen the banner grows into an ad covering most of the screen and heaven help you if you were in the middle of moving a piece to where you wanted to place it because the piece immediately will drop and be unlovable. The ads are glitchy and frozen and is say maybe 75% of the time the x does not actually close the ad, it just freezes your device causing you to quit the app and restart, losing any progress you just made. Sometimes the badly formatted ads play full screen without warning or context, and sometimes it’s just one sometimes it’s 5 or 7 on a row with no skip iron or x button to close them out. Pretty disappointing honestly. The permissions though are what take the cake here. This app “requires” access to so much of your device behind the scenes it’s pretty clear this is likely a kind of malware intent on harvesting your data.

It’s actually disappointing because this game has a lot of potential. It’s got a cute theme. I am a big fan of the Block games and I’m used to seeing an ad now and then., I mean, I know they have to make their money somehow, but this is insane. Not only do you see five ads every minute, but there’s a pop-up that interrupts your game literally every 20 seconds. Then if you have your sound on let’s hope you don’t enjoy the music, because guess what?! Big shocker, you’re gonna hear ads playing too. But if that gets interrupted by another ad, do not fear, it will continue when you continue your game lol. Ridiculous there’s literally no way to possibly enjoy this game because of ALL THE ADS!!! I’m actually getting paid to play this game through another app and I’m still deleting!!! It’s not worth my sanity smh!!! Don’t waste your time!!
