Cookie Jam Blast™ Match 3 Game Reviews

by IBexxx0825

I can’t watch ads for the 5 extra moves or extra lives. I can’t make purchases due to it saying purchase failed before I can even press buy. There’s no cookies to collect, just a never ending tournament that keeps repeating items to collect. It seems like the game’s stuck on a loop and it seems every update just introduces a new bug. I had an issue with my fair tickets and customer service was great and said all the tickets I collected would be there after the latest update but that never happened, the fair ticket issue was fixed but I lost out on hundreds if not a thousand tickets. Not a big deal but with all the other issues it makes this game an absolute nightmare to play. Their other game Cookie jam has no issues whatsoever but there isn’t 2x speed as an option so I can’t play it because it’s so SLOW. Please address these major issues and update the game ASAP. Can’t you do a hot fix like video games do? Also the rewards for leveling up your recipes should be more than just unlimited life or 2x score. Unlimited power ups should be a reward as well.

I love this game and did not mind paying for coins; but when I recently bought some coins the game froze and I did not receive the coins I purchased. I was charged and sent an email to their customer service; at first I got a response asking for my gamer ID and a description of the issue. I sent all the information over and received another email stating they now needed screenshots of my receipt to prove I was charged. No problem sent that over and waited. Afterwords the asked for a screenshot of my gamer ID; which I sent at the beginning. I sent it over again & received a response stating they needed my Facebook ID; which in the screenshot I sent you could clearly see I did not have it linked. Since I no longer use Facebook and had them respond stating unless I had one they could not help me get the coins I never received but paid for. I was done after that and feel it's crazy I need to create and link Facebook just to get the coins I never got. It should have been stated from the beginning instead of the back & forth just to be dismissed.

This game is incredibly awesome! This is the first time I downloaded this game now I can't stop playing. I'm enjoying this game so much I keep playing even though I get frustrated at times! Very challenging. I can't believe how much I am enjoying this game. Its super!whoever created this game was a genius! Can't stop playing! Amazing game I'm playing everyday! Incredible but also difficult however, I love this game!! Thank the. Creators of this game it's great. I get frustrated but that's what the game is all about. What a great game I got to level 300 and I quit . I just can't continue to spend money! Thank you for providing me with hours of fun. I think I'm addicted to this game! I love it so much. I won't give up! How many times I have said this but, this game is remarkable! I love it!!! Greatest game on the iPad! I love this game. Totally awesome!! I love this game! The only thing I get upset about is the fact that in order to get ahead I have to spend money which I surely don't have much!

Upper levels are TOO difficult. You are almost certain of buying extra lives, coins etc to get through on every single level. Make them challenging but not near impossible. It would also be nice after three or four challenging levels to have a fairly simple one thrown in to keep you motivated. IF you end up spending coins for extra turns and meet the challenge after only one or two more tries, why aren’t those extra turns put in a bank for you? We’ve paid for them, they belong to us. Also, the amount of moves given to you at the beginning of each game is more often than not a fraction of the moves it will take to get through the round. Again, you just know you’re going to be spending extra money at almost every level. Lighten up.....we'll stick around longer and make you richer in the long run.
After many months of spinning the wheel, I’ve NEVER one single time won the large coin prize. Seems a little rigged to me.

I have been playing this game for close to 4 years. I am in the thousands, I never pay for anything and rely on my balloon perks and free videos. I cannot afford to pay for perks. I do not do the food videos for the same reason I have issues with the free video for 5 extra moves. When there is a possibility that I can complete the puzzle in 5 moves it does not offer it almost 80 percent of the time. When it does lately it either brings the video up and it goes to black or white screen or it just goes to black or white screen. This necessitates getting out of the game and waiting the full "3-4 minutes it takes for it to load. It's starting to get frustrating. I do not block any adds in any of my apps so that's not the issue. I have tried for 3 days to do the latest update. The system finally told me my IPad is no longer compatible. I have been forced to delete this game as I cannot afford a new IPad. Thanks for nothing.

I love this game very much however few things that make me want to stop playing quick I wish they could fix. First, while your playing if you run out of lives and don’t get your goal done to move on they allow you to watch a short clip to get an extra three lives... now he’s the terrible part, they will not EVER give you that option at all if you are just about to win, the only way to get another 5 lives is by using too much coins..
Another annoying thing is whenever you win a round you get a boost. You can get a lot of boosts if you win a lot of them without loosing a single round. I hate when I get to the top and have all the boosts... if you loose just ONE round you start the next round at ZERO BOOSTS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.
And last most frustrating of all thing is that when you loose a round, pretty often you will loose it over and over and get stuck on that round for way too long and I just end up not playing anymore. If those things would be fixed this game would get 5 Star from me.

This is one of my favorite games I use to pass my time. Being on level 1300 I can now confidently share just a few consistent frustrations. First is the daily wheel. This wheel has a visual glitch that prevents you from landing on anything meaningful. It seems preset to land on useless tickets. (See below) Yes, I actually did a bit of an experiment and kept track of what item I would hit the button on and 9/10 times regardless it would land on tickets. This wheel is the ONLY way to gain coins or boosters.

The useless tickets: The photo of what you can purchase with said tickets includes a pastry bag, a useful booster. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Never once has there been an option to buy anything that helps with direct game play like a spoon, or pastry bag etc. The only options are baking items. Now, I don’t do the whole baking aspect bc I don’t see the benefit to my game play. So the tickets are pointless unless you want to partake of the baking portion. I understand I can earn hot air type balloons from ‘baking’ but outside that it is pointless.

I appreciate this is clearly a built in function to force ppl to buy boosters and coins & boost the developers revenues. But If you are going to provide a daily wheel make it fair and random not fixed.

This game is beautiful and fun to play! I like it way more than any of its direct competition both aesthetically and functionally. But I do have one major issue.
I noticed that at times, when you fail a level, the game will allow you to either pay coins or watch a video ad for 5 extra turns. However, the video isn’t always an option. In my observation after playing this game A LOT, they only offer the video (essentially free extra turns) if there’s no chance those five turns will help you win. If there’s a realistic chance you could win in five more turns, the video ad is never an option. That means that if you don’t have coins and you don’t want to restart the level, your required to pay real money. I know micro transactions make these apps profitable, but this situation is really frustrating for me.
I want to give CookieJamBlast five stars for its aesthetics and smooth, satisfying gameplay; I want to give it one star for what feels like an unfairly rigged extra turn system. So I’m splitting the difference and giving it 3.

The game is enjoyable and interesting enough to play for a long time if wanted. The one thing I am not pleased with is the limited lives and sometimes it will allow one to watch a video to continue and sometimes a video can give +5 moves HOWEVER sometimes and too often the videos are not available. Now for the extra moves; fine, but lives? Why would I be playing this game if I wanted to play another? Stop offering me another game and allow me to play the one I am currently playing! Why would you want me to stop playing? And it makes it so I can not go on!!! Why would any game developers ever do that? Seems counter to the goal. I have paid for items and unless I do it time and time again I have to wait for WHAT to play more? Fun game idiot developers and managers! Like I said I am willing to watch the video if need be, sooo with adverts(yes I have purchased from these type of offerings before) wouldn’t it be best to allow me to watch them and NOT try to get me to another since I am playing one of your games NOW! Allow the video to be watched and allow me to continue on with what I prefer to play. Thanks

Ok this is my follow up review, since the developers took the time to respond I feel I could at least do the same. I had to delete the game and then reinstall, after doing that i have’n had a single problem, that is except one, it erased all my game plan. I was up to something like level 286 after reinstalling i had to start from level one. Well now I’m on level 515 and have not so much as a blink from the game. Now if you would give me back my 286 levels I would give you 5 stars. At any rate thanks for fixing my favorite game. To tell the truth I really do love playing this game. The only problem is the thing crashes every day. It happens almost every time I get like 1:30 hours of unlimited life. By the time I’m able to play again it is unusually after the clock has run out. It is border line about to be deleted I’ve grown quite tired of this crap.

I have never written a review, in all my 11 years of being an iPhone user, and aaaaaallll the hundreds of apps I’ve downloaded, SEVERAL of which I used daily and loved very much. But I have to write a review here. This game is fun, addictive, challenging, and visually stunning. Very beautiful game. I’m a Libra; aesthetics can make or break almost anything for me. ;P
You don’t have to spend money to beat levels. The game is multifaceted, having little side “jobs” for you to do, and also a little bakery where you can make treats with the ingredients you get from collecting stars, and the treats you make are used to upgrade your little airship that you ride around the worlds in, which also give you boosters for the levels. The music is not annoying at all (huge plus). I think it’s super unique that the game has a French twist to it via the music and the baking (idk why baking just reminds me of French people/France..) and the voice in the game is a man with a French accent and sometimes he even speaks French.
I would give this ten stars if I could! I am just in love with Cookie Jam. It is perfectly done in my opinion. Bravo! ;)

CookieJamBlast is so so fun. I was playing Candy a Crush Jelly and the levels seriously became impossible to beat unless you'd use power up after power up, and i'm not cheater so i'm not about to play like that. This game has never been so difficult that i've been stuck for weeks on end. i've had this game for half of the time i've had candy crush, and am already over double the levels on this game. The little bees actually almost always go in the most helpful spot. The pop circles and worms help you, unlike Jelly's pufflers. This game also mixes up the goals of the levels so you don't just get fried on one thing over and over, like with Candy Crush. The layout is ridiculously cute and eye pleasing. I also love how you can play this game completely free. With using the baking area you make yourself free coins and power ups. The daily spin has never been too repetitive or outright rigged. I'm so glad my grandma showed me this game it is my favorite time passer.

I have enjoyed playing this game for a very long time. I have achieved the top level of the newly released weekly additional levels and am at level 7940 on the rainbow road. I have earned top level on all airship powers. When I earned top level, the reward included the levels renewing every 24 hours. Suddenly, the renewal time has jumped to every 2-3 days. I worked countless hours and spent a good deal of cash to achieve the levels I have reached and am extremely upset that my rewards have been greatly diminished. I have been in contact with the support team who have been in contact with the development team and have hit a brick wall. They offered me a small amount of token freebies but that in no way makes up for the changes in my rewards. TODAY IS MY LAST DAY PLAYING THIS GAME. I am not going to continue with a brand that goes back on its word

I like the fact you now don't have to open bag after bag to get baking supplies. I like once you have enough to bake the command appears on screen and take you right to the kitchen. What I don't like is the overtime directive. I preferred the option for 5 free moves rather than just play in overtime whether you want to or not snd then have to pay for those moves. If you don't have enough coins (and they aren't easy to come by if you don't buy them) when you could clear the level with 5 or fewer moves. Take the game back to the 5 free moves choice if you don't beat the level with the initial number of moves and you get 5 stars. In the regular game I'm waiting for the next 20 level update and I agree that when you have to shift to the rainbow run while you wait you should be able to resume where you left off rather than go back to level 1. Seems I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I really love the game so every munch it just how can you play running on of moves every time so you guys add some some more. Move to level 75 so. I can pass this one please so i am trying to be nice about. IAM sorry they my nasty mouth was running. I was not happy with the. Game how it was working so. IAM sorry for what i did and so can you for give me if you have any questions you can look me up on Facebook Messenger Thanks beau
This is beyond ridiculous he’s not a whole lot of moves and how are you supposed to finish the whole entire game that he played it over and over and over again but yet again you guys are absolutely ridiculous there’s not a whole Lotta moves a hold on anything how are you supposed to continue playing the whole thing that’s making sideration of how everything is about to be pretty much I hope you have a great day shoving something somewhere where the sun don’t shine because your consideration you need to shove it somewhere

by Butterflies325

I’ve been playing this game for a while now which means I really enjoy it. It’s pretty predictable when they’ll give you free moves or not... if you’re close to winning the level you most likely won’t get 5 free moves offered. I also wish that they weren’t so picky about giving you 3 stars for each level...if the blue bar doesn’t touch the end then you only get 2 stars for the level which I think is not fair. You can be very near the end and only get 2 stars.
I like that you periodically get surprised with unlimited play but I wish you could start it and not have it begin without notice.
Other than those annoying features this is a good game. I also like that you can play and not have to spend money to play unless you want to.
I play Cookie Jam as well and love that too!

I love playing this game! I'm up to levels in the 1300s and am playing the Rainbow Run for my third time. But there is a TERRIBLE glitch on level 14 and the same board is also on level 126. I've been stuck on those boards for hours or days until I can use special airships again and on three different times when the rainbow come out of the volcanoes and there is an explosion of pieces when the board settles down there are lots of blank spaces with NOTHING in them and the game becomes frozen! I've tried everything to get it to work again but my only option has always been to quit that game. And it always has happened during a competition to move up to the bronze or silver level. I have screenshots of all three of these and just went to look at all and realized it's the same board. PLEASE FIX THIS! I'm feeling frustrated! Thanks!

I love this game. I have it on my iPad and my cell phone. It’s a great way to pass the time while waiting. It is just an amazingly fun game. If you love Cookie Jam, you’ll definitely love Cookie Jam Blast. If you don’t believe me, download and see for yourself. Njoy 😉

In addition to the before mentioned comment I’d like to add that I really don’t like the overtime. I’d rather watch a short video to get the extra 5 moves versus having to use up all my coins paying for the overtime. But on a good note, I really like the new and improved wheel, especially the 99 coins 🙂. I’m currently on level 225 of the extra levels because I’ve completed all the levels on the regular game. I’m glad I have an alternative while I wait for the new levels instead of just waiting until the new levels are available. Thanks for that option. I truly love this game ❤️

Love this game. It's addicting. Do be prepared to spend some money as you get to higher levels, but you aren't required too, especially if you have patience, lol. I love the variety of levels, and the many opportunities to earn free power ups and assistance tools throughout the game. A daily free spin wheel, baking recipes, and daily events help you earn free stuff as well. Give aways are more generous than other games, and best of all, levels don't become "impossible" (without spending money) as you move forward in the game, although it's challenging as you proceed. Every few levels you will see one labeled "HARD LEVEL" which allows you to choose if you want to use a power up to assist you before you start. If you run out of lives, you can choose (or not) to refill your lives meter for a measly 20 coins, far less than most games. Seems like the creators of the game really do want people to play, not JUST PAY!!!!! Thanks Cookie Jam Creators 😄😄😄

So I saw the ad for this game in the first edition of Cookie Jam and I downloaded it because I thought it would be like Toon Blast, where you tap groups of color and they disappear. When I saw it was still a match-3, I was a little disappointed because I was super interested in Cookie Jam’s take on a blasting game. For the first few levels, I was like, “Why did they make this game? It’s like a slightly amped up version of their original game...” And I wasn’t sure I liked it as much as the original. But I’ve played through several levels now and this game is DEFINITELY an improvement on the original! Super fun boosters, more things to do (i.e. recipes to make things to eventually unlock airships), and the visuals and sounds are just as yummy as in the original. I don’t feel this game will replace the original for me, but it is definitely a ton of fun and now I’m addicted to TWO Cookie Jams. 😂

I downloaded CookieJamBlast about a week ago. I had CookieJamBlast before but I uninstalled it but I didn’t remember why until I started playing the game. Some levels take hours and days to complete and sometimes you have only one more move to complete and you are out of moves. Then you get the option to purchase more moves which I believe is a setup. You don’t get a good return on your purchase because throughout CookieJamBlast you only win 3 tokens every now and then which is a terrible accumulation. I’ve spoken with family and friends that have CookieJamBlast and complain about the very same thing. I uninstalled CookieJamBlast over almost 10 years ago and still the same issue. The creators should make it reasonable to earn moves and not require so many to make purchases. But I know you want to make a profit but let’s be reasonable. That’s why I give 2 stars, other than those issues, it’s a fun app.

I’m probably the most ridiculous person I know. I like the match 3 games but most of them can get boring and impossible when you get to the higher levels. I tried the first version of this game and it seemed to be pretty much like most others so I thought I would look at the next version because sometimes the second one is better. I got addicted very quickly. You can earn bonuses a lot more than other games, the higher levels are challenging but not impossible and the characters are so cute that I don’t mind playing the same level a few times until I pass it. I got addicted to this game based on cuteness alone! I still play it every chance I get. I’m into the 500 levels now and I haven’t got tired of it yet. The cuteness factor is a 15 out of 10 and it doesn’t get old, lol.
