I just swapped devices and all my progress is gone and I don't know how to fix it. the game is brilliant and a great way to waste time. it makes you problem solve some levels. I contacted support about restoring progress and purchases but no real answers. they say they are trying to fix this so I guess time will tell. I'd hold off making purchases until you can guarantee saving your progress and purchases.
I do like playing the game. The ads are a bit much though. And when I get to a screen with the chests, it constantly lags waiting for the "Watch Ad" button to appear. The skip level button is also in a very awkward spot. I have accidentally hit it during a game. And the levels with the spikes, you just can't win. I hate having to skip levels just to get through, but you don't have a choice. I also have to skip some of the levels that need water to open the levers. The buttons don't work alot.
I've been playing this game for a while. Im currently on level 1,182 (no joke, the levels just go on forever). This game would be much better if you didnt have to watch ads any time you earn something cool. It's great for killing time but reducing ads or adding more features/updating more frequently would help me to want to rate it more positively :)
They just updated this game and now it's completely worthless. It crashes within 10-30 seconds of opening the game. You can try to hurry and complete a level, but it still crashes while playing. The bug seems to be related to the ads somehow (the ads actually COVER the screen while playing now!)... as soon as a new ad pops up at the bottom of the screen, the game freezes, and then crashes all together. As if this game wasn't bad enough before, it's completely unplayable now.
Not a bad little game. Cute and intuitive, but the issues prevent progress. An ad plays after every level, and you need to sit through another ad to finish "earning" your rewards. Any connection interruption and you lose the unlock forever. There is also no way to go back through levels and improve your score, so it feels like an eternal grind. Cute idea, but not worth the hassle.
The game is constantly pushing you around and telling you what to or how to do a level, when there more ways to do it. There WAY to many ads, I get the free game there gonna be ads thing but I've play 49 levels and I counted over 85 ads. That I couldn't skip. And story line isn't that interesting. It's basically "Oh no, there was a sandstorm that destroyed everything, hey let's fix it with some sand and balls!" I'm very disappointed in this game and it was a waste of time, I don't recommended
They are only about money. I actually like the game play. It's repetitive, but I enjoy it. I paid to have no ads, but the game is all about money. Everything centers around you watching ads. The 'treasure' chest round where you get a free ball makes it seem you have a chance without an ad. But I've opened 100 or so and never got a ball without an ad. Their VIP service which they shove in your face daily coster per week! For a phone game! Give me a break. Have a fun game with a decent buy in...
The gameplay of this game is reasonably fun. Potentially even worth the $3 it costs to get rid of ads. My problem is that once I've PAID for my ad-free experience, it should not be neccessary to watch ads! New trucks (unlocked by completing levels) are only actually made available if you watch an ad first, and the game will constantly give you buttons to watch ads (for more keys, etc) and wait a good 3 seconds before allowing you to click no. Don't waste your money on this game.
This... is an ad machine. The gameplay is fun for about ten minutes, but then the sheer amount of ads and subscriber-only features just suck all the fun or if it. Don't expect the levels to increase in difficulty. They don't. Also you get swept away to some island to spend your points building things that have nothing to do with the core game mechanic. This is a bad game.
The ads do get ridiculous. I understand its to help fund the game. VIP cost ALOT of money <100.00> You get coins but can't do anything with them. Now I have stopped getting stars on my levels. It a great time killer. I've been playing a while amd I think its about time to delete it. I wanna know what the cars do and why should I have to watch ads to get them when they do nothing for you? The levels don't get harder and it gets to be repetitive after a few levels.
If you REALLY enjoy sitting through ads... THIS is the "game" for you. Sometimes the features work, other times it will freeze for no reason. The buttons don't always register a click, so I had to forego several bonuses. (A lot!) I had time to kill to try this, while the concept is fun and charming at times, I can see why it is not geared for children as it constantly after every level asks if you want to upgrade. I might give this another 2 days worth of gameplay before finding a replacement.
I started playing this game last month after I broke my wrist as I could play it one handed. I just beat level 1000 a few moments ago. This game is honestly too addicting. After awhile, it gets repetitive, as its just the same obstacles used over in different ways, so the levels end up looking the same. Also, sometimes the balls with fall into the sand or through the barriers, so clipping is an issue. There are way too many ads, but I just use airplane mode, so no ads, so no problem there.
This game has potential. It's fun & colorful & pretty addicting. But as mentioned in numerous other reviews the number of ads is RIDICULOUS. Expect an ad for every action you take. There's also no list of past levels or way to replay levels you didn't get 3 stars on. So, if you're a game perfectionist, expect disappointment. My game also glitched on level 49 & wouldn't let me finish the level. I eventually had to just skip it.
It's alright, keeps freezing/crashing when I try to get my free gift/gems, missed out on a few thousand so far. Can't go back to replay levels so no way to get the gift when you reload the game. Ran out of things to spend gems on, purchases all balls and upgraded everything in the mini town. Not much incentive to keep playing.
Neat little game to play while you're watching ads. I understand free games need ads but this is ridiculous. Finished a level, had to watch an ad. Game offered a prize if I watch an ad, I clicked no and it made me watch one anyways. After that I restarted the level I just finished and I had to watch an ad again. All that for 10 seconds of gameplay? Hard pass. The game is fun but not worth the amount to remove ads.
My son loves this game. He's only 4 so I paid for no ads for the 15 minutes a night he plays it. But there are still constant pop ups for "extra points" or "prize chests" and when you click on them they show a full ad. You have to wait a beat and then a small, "no thanks" option shows up at the bottom... but him being 4, he already clicked the big green button to claim his prize. No ads should mean no ads.
LOVE the game, totally addictive! But the ads are way too intrusive and over-the-top, popping up every time I do something. It's ridiculous, and most of them don't even have an X where I can close them (isn't that against Google's advertising rules?) so I often have to shut down the whole app and restart it. What a shame, because it really is a fantastic game. If they offered an ad-free version I would absolutely buy it! Hear that, developers??
I really enjoyed the game itself and would have liked to play more but the ads were pretty annoying. One little one that overlapped the gameplay area (just situating it higher would have been fine) but I'm uninstalling after a particularly infuriating one. Full white screen with a small banner. No way to close it. No way to return to the game. The Amazon banner held your game hostage and I'm not playing THAT game. Sorry, I'll probably try back in a few months - it really was cool up to then.
The levels repeat and you can't redo them, so how well you did means nothing. Did you finish a ten second level? Here, watch a thirty second ad. Did you earn a free gift? Watch an ad for that too. Unlock something through skill? Watch another ad! I have literally spent three times as much time watching ads then playing. I counted. Otherwise, the game is enjoyable. Dear game makers, put an ad every fifth level and make "free gifts," get this, free. Don't make us watch an ad for every single item.
Trash app full of more ads than game. I played 2 levels, which took less than 5 seconds, and an ad popped up that was longer than the 2 levels. After that there was an ad banner on the bottom and a popup on the screen and they kept opening between levels. I quit when I closed 1 ad and another opened behind it. More ads than game, and then they ask you to buy the ad free version. Yeah I don't think so. This app deserves to die.
