Angry Birds Blast Reviews

by Puzzler4378

I don’t mind challenging levels but this is ridiculous and it isn’t even rated as hard. I’ve made it through champion of mighty league, so clearly I can make it through various levels.

Unless you can rid of groups of pigs at one time it would take 36 moves to get rid of them individually and that assumes there are moves that work. The advantage of this level with the blues captures that release boosters hasn’t really helped as it needs 20 blues to have them released. At least half the time it takes all the moves to get the 20. Only a few times have I received enough blues for a second release.

It is levels like this that I think about getting rid of all AB games.

The game is terrible and not enjoyable. The mere fact is, it’s all based on the luck of the colors you get and 4/5 times you will have to replay the same level because of this flaw. Even when you use your coins and purchase the skills to help, you will time after time end up wasting them. The game features the use of real money to help counter this but who wants to spend real money just to pass a level..? No skill is involved and just to enjoy it and pass the levels you end up having to wait and play the same level over and over until it gives you a better RNG of birds. This may be a game for some but as for my experience, it was frustrating to fail a level due to horrible RNG many times. I rate it 1 star

It was a fun game... Until they make it impossible to pass a level. Highly addictive and rewarding, but I refuse to spend $$on games. At first, it wasn't that big of a deal and I'd try again after lives were renewed. THEN, once I was past level 200, I'd have to play around 10 times to pass one level.

I put the game down for a few days and come back to 24 hours of free lives. I'm all, sweet maybe I'll finally get to move forward in this game. Nope. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I wasted in believing that the NEXT time the colors will fall in my favor only to have piggies laughing in my face. In the 24 hour period I was able to FINALLY pass lv 222 and even the next level. Yep. Two whole levels is what I accomplished in 24 hours. If a level is truly challenging, I can see needing to play a few times to figure out the best mode of attack. This is not what is happening. The. Game. Will. Not. Allow. Me. The. Opportunity. To. Move. Forward. In. The. Game.

So, even though AB Blast was never going to receive && directly from me, they will no longer receive $$ for the commercials I view. Sad that the company's greed had lost them a willing (and clearly determined) player.

Would be nice if I can continue to play without constantly having to update. And if I don’t update, I’m forced to not be able to play. Lives are wasted because levels become too intense, or glitch from time to time and then you lose another life. The only time I can play as much as I want is when they offer the free 24 hour play. I’m very upset I cannot play this game without updating. I do NOT want to update at this time. Even though it’s a free game, if my card attached to Apple Pay isn’t in good standing, I cannot update. Considering finding a new game to play, until Rovio or whoever responsible can allow a bypass from the update and continue to let me play until I am ready to update. Very frustrating, a lot of changes need to be made. I’ve played this game faithfully for over a year now and am in the 800s. I do not wish to update at this time, please allow me to continue to play- or I will not play anymore and write more reviews to warn others that this is a waste of time to play as well.

The latest iteration of the game has changed the weekly challenge to a timed challenge, which is awful for many reasons. One, it’s not updated for the iPhone X, so your time is halfway cut off. There was no warning that it’s a timed challenge before you start. The game pops up to tell you “good job” or “eggsellent” which prevents you from hitting anything until it’s off the screen wasting precious time. The game will lag causing you to lose time. Not to mention that Rovio has decided they don’t care about you unless you’re continuously paying them money. All of the Angry Birds games I paid for now have ads, and also want you to buy IAP. That’s a great way to treat the customers that helped you get to where you are.

Generally, it's a fun game. You do get to levels that cannot be won without using special tools. But the game is decently good at helping you get them (and for free).

The one area I've grown increasingly tired of is the puzzles you get to collect pieces for and trade in for tools or coin or something presumably nice. Collecting pieces is achieved by completing regular levels or during the daily game. My issue is that I have lost out on all puzzles so far because there's always one piece I just can't get/find. Sure, I have 5 copies of several other pieces that I've already found. But much like McDonalds Monopoly game.. seems that last piece is a myth. To me anyway.

Just updated from 3 stars to 1. To show my frustration with the puzzle pieces, I have 28 total. 8 that are on the board (out of the 9).. and 20(!) duplicates. I am certain that I will never get that last piece.

This game is just another pop-a-group of balloons game with an AB motif.
The game play is as expected, but has a few twists. Of them is a blessing, but mostly a bane: every so often, little ABs get released that can pop balloons of the same color. 10% of the time, it helps; 90% of the time they are a bane in that they can BLOCK you from popping pigs like a shield.
The Daily Challenges are mostly a scam. I have never gotten more than 346 pigs in a day, while I see not less than 550+ popped by others, with a ONE-DAY total of just over 2,000 by one person. I am not joking; I took screenshots.
To make matters worse still is when you pop a fat pig on your last move and all the game does is place a +5 heart on the grid and declare the “game over”. Basically, they want you to spend $1.50 to buy 5 moves n order to collect 5 moves. Scummy move, isn’t it.
God forbid you have a problem with the game, because they compound the misery with their sorry excuse for “support”. They actually told me that because I did not sufficiently bow and scrape to their August majestically, they were refusing to help me.
I am done with game and with Rovio in general. They managed to flush 6 years of goodwill down the toilet in a few support exchanges.

I enjoyed it very much until I got to the conveyors. I’m not saying that they are too hard, they are actually pretty easy, it is just that it stopped working. Whenever I tap on like an event or something, it says, “No internet connection, Try again.” And I look on my iPhone and it says that I do have internet and the thing casting out the internet is on and 7 feet apart from me while I’m sitting on the living room couch. I know my internet is kinda trash, but it is not this garbage. It also says I don’t have internet even though I clearly do when I tap on quests. I know you don’t want me to say this, Rovio, but I want people to know that this is the perfect game if you just want to get bored and have no access to anything and do nothing fun at all.

Can someone from the developers group please explain to me why you don’t put a mute button on your ad? It’s bad enough that I would have to even do that but to have absolutely no way to shut your stupid ad up except to turn my phone all the way down makes me not want to try the game. It’s a shame because I really do like the Angry Birds games but I really don’t understand why you force me to listen to the ad. I might be playing the game at work and not want my boss to know that I’m doing it, Or I may just not like to play games with sound. It is so rude to have quiet while I’m playing a game and then all of a sudden be assaulted by the cacophony of noise coming from your ad

by Dustysimmons79

This used to be my go-to game when I had a few minutes to unwind, and prior to the last update, I would absolutely give it 5 stars. I made it to level 2088 without spending a dime, though it took several years to get there. But this latest update has taken away so much of the fun and added so much frustration! When I used to to watch a video to get 3 free moves at the end of a level, it simply gave me 3 free moves. Now, either the ad crashes, and I get nothing, or I get some stupid “Click to Stop” wheel. When I click it, it may stop on a bomb but gives me no additional moves, so the bomb is pointless, and the level is automatically over. What a total waste! Please fix this or I may be forced to spend my free time doing something productive!

I have been playing for years, right now I am on level 4965. There are some extremely hard levels but I have stuck with it and used power ups when needed. Now this new update that took away all my silver coins?! What a joke! It’s hard enough to get gold coins (or you have to purchase) and now we have to use those for everything. I would build up the silver to use on the Treasure Hunt levels but now it is all gold. I had over 500k silver and only about 1000 gold coins. I might have been ok with this had they converted the silver to gold but now I don’t even know if I’ll continue. Great job, Rovio….

I’ve been playing this game for years and love it. However, it has been locking up and closing while playing lately, but especially when I have gone through and earned a prize for something. For example, while playing Throne Rush, I made it through all 5 levels on one life. When I tapped on the chest to collect my prize, the game closed out. I immediately returned to the game to get my prize, and it said, “Sorry, you didn’t make it through, please try again” or something similar. I had used a ton of my boosters to get me through Throne Rush with the expectation of earning more once I got to the end. I feel cheated out of my previously earned boosters as well as the TR prize I earned.

In addition, during Mighty League, I often am awarded a prize of 30 minutes of rockets. However, this never actually shows up anywhere as I continue playing.

Finally, with the Wonderland level, I think it’s a joke how few suns the bigger flowers are worth; you do not continue the multiplication of how much suns the flowers are worth based on how you start out. How can a level 8 flower only be worth 62 suns?!? I regularly get on to collect my suns and it takes SO INCREDIBLY LONG to even earn a prize, and once I FINALLY get high enough to earn something, it’s only 1 regular booster?!? Throw some gold in there once in awhile or something bigger to make all the patience worth it. I’m disappointed in this game lately!!!

I have been playing for while now, I’m at level 1,842. Love the game when it works. Since December this game has been crashing after I play a video to get a reward, 8 out of 10 times and it does not give the reward, the developers are getting the reward every time I watch a video but I get ziltch! The most annoying part is that I have to close AngryBirdsBlast and restart because it freezes. It used to be a fun game but they are making it hard for me to keep loving it. I used to play several other AB games and I quit because they kept taking my coins, after I purchased them! This has turned out to be a major rip off to well meaning players. I quit and deleted 4 other AB games I’d played for years because I felt cheated, this is the last remaining game on my phone and I’m about done with it. When they are SELLING to the players tools to play the game they HAVE a major responsibility to provide a seamlessly playing game, they are not meeting their end, I’m sure their success is not what it used to be, when the games were fun and not cheating players out of their purchases or not giving rewards for videos watched. Get a clue developers or you’ll all be out of a job!!

I’ve been playing this longer then I’d like to admit. It’s very fun and if you need to pass some time say waiting for an appointment or what not this certainly will help speed the time along. There are quite a few levels that you have to pay to beat. By the time you get to level four 541 you cannot beat them without using tools and or purchases.

I’ve given up going further and just play in the tournaments. You have to be careful though because you will end up spending more than you win. I can’t think of a bigger waste of money but I do enjoy the game. Again I’m not planning on going any higher than level I am at currently which is at about 560

I see via the reviews that nobody liked the timer on the daily quest and Rovio has wisely brought back the “set amount of moves” version. Let’s hope they never pull that nonsense again! Thanks! I will say, however, that the daily quest is still not as fun as it was months ago. I used to be able to get around 100 on each game, but now I’m lucky to get 50. Oh well...as short and frustrating as the daily quest is now, it sure beats the timed version!

Original review: I hate that the daily quest is now timed instead of having a certain amount of moves. I prefer games where I can strategize my moves, and I don’t like (and therefore don’t play) games that are just reactionary against a timer. If Rovio doesn’t put the daily quest back to moves and remove the timer, I won’t be playing.

This used to be my favorite game. I played it for a couple of years. But now that Rovio has decided to collect and sell my data, including personal identifiers without an opt out option, I have deleted it from all 3 of my devices. I understand that these companies need to make money. They made plenty of money from me over the years when I made the free choice to buy coins in order to complete the occasional “fundraising” level or to play longer. Stealing my personal information and selling it to others is underhanded. I don’t have a choice in shaping business practices, but I do have the choice to discontinue engagement. So I have.

by AmyL3377

This game crashes often and will not load! I have to completely delete the game from my device and reload it which takes forever until it no longer says “initializing”. I’m always afraid it will have logged off fb and I’ll have lost years of progress. I’ve been playing for years and would like to continue but it’s no longer fun with all the headaches. I don’t understand why this needs to continue to happen it’s been going on for over a year fix it already. I have to deal with this constantly.

Wonderworld started off as a great in app game to earn boosters by tending a garden. Additional plots would cost 500 “sunshine” which was fine and manageable (you earn sunshine based on plants in your garden). Then it got more “expensive”. A new world was introduced and I unlocked it - to buy a new plot is now 40,000 sunshine. Took a week to earn it. The next plot? 60,000 sunshine. I earn approx 6,000 per day. This is not fun having to wait 10 days just to be able to buy a new plot so that I can move forward a little. It means you can’t even play the game AT ALL while trying to save up sunshine.
Contact the help desk to get info on it or find out if it’s an error? Don’t bother. You get a canned answer and no one actually cares.

First off, I’ve always loved you Hengrui burn games. I stumbled across this one and just had to see what it was about. After a few levels, I was hurt. The challenge is getting harder and harder and makes my brain calculate execution. Just when I think I’m close to beating it, the path gets longer, but the innovative way in which they create each level is exciting. It definitely keeps me on my toes and I use it to help activate my brain each morning!

by Timmyboy44

Hands down a game that is my go to! I am at 840 and love the updates and the weekly competitions that are held. I love finding new eggs throughout the time I have played and been playing. Keep up the hidden eggs and the only negative I have is that there should maybe be a weekly wheel or a daily type thing to achieve if within a period of time you are able to achieve specific accomplishments. Examples would be meeting a number of levels beat, coins earned, special levels beat, release of certain birds.

by SaraSane

I don’t like the time component of the Daily Quest. What’s the reason for that? Were you giving away too many boosters or 30 minutes of play? I used to blast 100+ birds during Daily Quest; now I barely blast 50!
One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed AB Blast is your generosity: prizes for passing certain levels, 24 hrs of free play starting Sunday nights, replenishing lives every 15 minutes, etc. Please don’t start going cheap on us now. This is a 5-star game but the newest version only merits 3. 😞

by Suzanne3604

When I read a game review in which the player praises the product, but raises a valid concern, like the player whose Facebook account will not sync with AB Blast, I expect to see the developer address that issue on the review page. Instead, though, the developers post some silly nonsense about their product.
Really?
I would seriously reconsider your tactics. A responsive game developer who represents the Angry Birds franchise would be wise to quickly - and publicly- remedy your client’s difficulty using your product. And ensure that the solution you developed is posted proximally to the client’s initial review.
First, you represent Rovio, a gaming giant who can afford to replace you as its proxy in administering games that feature its products.
Second, without clients, there is no Angry Birds Blast.
Your cavalier attitude toward your client’s needs makes me oh so cautious. You slipped and if I caught you then others did, too.
I’d be planning an update tout suite addressing bugs that prevent players Facebook accounts from properly syncing with your app.
Just saying.

Really 5star game! U play it as long as u have credit and wonderful new levels coming non-stop as u can’t follow if u slow or stay away for awhile!
Its such a fun& exiting challenge! I’m in level 675 right now& have records as No.1 or top 3 in LOVELY mighty league events and almost forget other games at all!
But if i have to start over from first level again, i will do& its still fun& even more exciting to level up, i assure u, because i did it in my new iPhone X recently!👌👏
