I initially loved this game and the concept is a good one, visually pleasing. However, every stage, every hint, every help comes with an ad. You finished a level? AD. Extra coins? AD. You finished the level and don't want the extra coins? AD. Now I'd be willing to pay a few bucks to remove them, but 20 dollars???!!!! You took a good game and made it unplayable and overpriced.
OMG, the ads!!! I frequently get an almost TWO MINUTE long that you cannot skip through- I've had it twice in less than 5 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. I like the game enough to consider paying for ad free, but the price point is quite high for a simple mobile game. No thank you. St this point I'm frustrated enough to delete it entirely.
***UPDATE 03/04/26***. There's a glitch in the game which is causing the reward ads to not play. As I refuse to pay real money, I rely on the ads to get additional coins, the extra bottle sections, ideas and, step backs. Since the ads won't play anything other than error messages I can't continue playing. Deleting the app. I'll find a similar game to play. (previous review) This is a very fun game.
Fun game! Aesthetically pleasing... but the ads are INSANE...they take FOREVER to watch, then you can't click out and you repeatedly get taken to other sites despite hitting the stupid little x that is meant to infuriate. I haven't even seen an option to buy my way out of having ads so I have no idea how much it even costs. At this point the only way to avoid ads is to CLOSE THE APP AND RESTART after every round. No thank you!
The game started out great. I enjoy playing. the graphics are attractive and the perks you can "buy" with earned coins are well valued. BUT recently the ads are intolerable, appear everywhere for everything, are unskippable, and open the install page in the store before allowing me to backtrack and finally exit the ad. And while it's a good game, it's not worth the $20 to get rid of the ads. Uninstalling.
The game is great, but just way too many ads! There is literally an ad after every single level. I can see one after 2-3 levels, but not every single one. And it cost $19.99 to get rid of ads! I usually do pay to get rid of ads on games, but they're $5 at the most, which isn't so bad. If the number of ads get adjusted, or the price to get rid of them is lower, I'll def give 5 stars because I really do think this is the best water sort game I've played out of all of the ones I've tried so far.
It's a great game and I enjoy playing it. But the ads. There is a minimum of 1 ad between each level, and every time you restart. I understand an ad every time you purchase a hint, but lately I've been getting double, sometimes even triple ads after each level. Often, when your ad is over, and you hit the X button, it just opens another ad or two! It costs $19.99 to go ad free. It's not unplayable, just insanely annoying.
This game is fun. The ads are overbearing (after every level, after every reset or every other reset, and you have to watch one for the extra container you can get on a level). It's not worth $20 to remove ads. I am not interested in changing the background and other superficial things, which means the game currency is useless to me. It would be nice to be able to use the game currency to buy the extra containers that you can currently only get by watching ads. Get color? No. Get lost.
I get that ads are needed to fund development on free games but there's too many ads. Finished a couple levels? Here's an ad. Need to reset a level? Here's an ad. Yes, they're skipable after a few seconds but I shouldn't need to click the little arrow and then click the little x (intentionally made small in hopes you'll click the actual ad) every couple of minutes. It's tedious and a further reminder why I don't play more mobile games.
Very relaxing game... If it wasn't for the CONSTANT ads. Every single time you beat a level you get assaulted with an ad. Small ones at first, the ones that have a 3-5 second timer, but when you get to around level 20 they get full length. Played for the last half hour and the majority of my time is spent staring blankly at an add. Shame on every since one of you who ruined this great game.
The game was actually good and relaxing. The ads were abundant and annoying but not unexpected. Then, recently, they started randomly playing second ads in the post level break even if you didn't select the video for extra coins, and these second ads are predatory AF. They lock your phone to the point where for a solid 2 min of staring at this ad, if you even try to swipe to get your nav bar up, you're installing the app advertised. Will not support a game that allows that!
Most levels are seemingly impossible to beat unless you watch a video for the extra, one part, vile. I figured it's going to make me watch countless ads anyway, might as well get a tiny reward. But then if you need to restart, you have to not only watch an ad to get to the new game, but then have to watch another ad for the extra, one part, vile. Used to be fun when I first started playing and it was tolerable.... Sucks no games are playable anymore. Uninstalling.
A little fun at first, then it becomes repetitive. It's mostly ads and they're asking $20 for ad-free which is ridiculous for a game of this caliber. There is an in game shop (I'm not sure if they update/add to it, I've bought everything available in it a while ago) where you can purchase some cosmetic items but all in all, it's just okay as far as games go.
Way too many ads! They place the ads between every single level. Given how quickly you get through most levels, the game is about 25% ads. You spend 1.5 minutes doing a puzzle and then .5 minutes watching an ad. I don't mind games that use the "Do you want to get a boost from watching an ad?" model, but ads between every level is too much. Otherwise it's a pretty fun distraction for a few minutes.
So, the game itself runs fine- but we need to talk about the ads. An ad after each AND EVERY 2-3 minute level is unreasonable, especially if you're going ask for $20 to make it ad free. It feels like you, the dev, are trying to make your game as infuriating as possible with the ads so people just eat the cost. Playable ads, back to back ads, all of which are unskippable.
Someone took a fun game and decided they wanted to make more money. I have been playing this for over a year now but in the past few months they have rekeyed the levels to increase the likelihood of watching an ad, they took away daily freebies, they made it a competition (that you can watch ads to get more points than you can by playing), they limited your moves (but you can watch ads for more!) and they have finally irritated me enough to uninstall the game. Turned treasure into trash...
Half ads, half gameplay. Nice graphics and gameplay but there way too many ads for this to be enjoyable. Not only are they numerous, but are long and difficult to "continue" after the ad is over. Makes the entire game feel really low quality and unpolished. Time spent comes out to about 50% time spent actually playing the game, and the other time spent waiting for ads to progress.
I like the play, it's tricky. However, u need to ease up on the ads. Between every play, unable to use points to use a restart or undo , just more ads. Don't tell me to buy the ad free, I don't mind some ads...but don't be greedy. I won't play if it's just ad after ad after ad. Edit: I'm out. I found one that is the perfectly calm game I wanted. No ads, no pressure. WATER SORT PUZZLE. Take your cue from their form.
Dishonest scam attempt. The game itself is not bad, lots of ads, but rather short, so all in all fine. It was all right till I saw the price for removing ads, was expecting the usual 2-5 bucks, maybe 10 if they're a bit full of themselves. Nope. 20 USD to remove ads. I expect they're hoping every once In a while someone doesn't read it and just slips up. Disgusting tactic. Shame on you.
No amount of gameplay being fun will erase how bad the adpocolypse is in thos "game" You beat a level? At least 1 ad of 30 seconds or longer. Need an extra slot? Ad. Get an ad? We'll guess what you get an ad as a reward. I even got one back to back ad that each one was i swear a couple minutes long. Screw this game. The ads are so annoying they remove any amount of enjoyment in the game. "Just buy the ad free version" no.
