Toon Blast Reviews

by Misticfoe

This game is fun at first, and, yes, very addictive. However, as you progress, you’re not going to get through any levels very quickly. It teases, and tries to get you to spend lots of money. I do not. I have however purchased one piggy bank. But, I’m not dropping hundreds of dollars on a mobile game, that’s insane. It will eventually be nice and let you through levels. And, the challenges are ridiculous. You’ll never get anywhere on them unless you spend lots of money, which defeats the purpose of the challenge. Folks that win the challenges either have to be spending lots of money, or using cheats (if those really exist), OR it’s the developer running the stars up hoping people will spend money to “try” to win. (On the individual challenge So) I don’t believe that anyone can get 90+ stars in a matter of minutes after a challenge starts. At least not honestly. Even spending real money, I don’t see it. Team challenges, however, are possible to complete, IF a lot of people on the team play and contribute. Most folks on the teams seem to no longer play, I e found.
It’s okay to kill a little time though. Mindless playing to relax.

The game reduces rewards and ‘luck’ as you play.

Initially, the chance that blocks fall in a pattern beneficial to the player (i.e. match 5-6 blocks adjacent to one another to create the lowest tier “special item,” the rocket) is artificially higher than it statistically should be. The longer one plays the game, said chance decreases logarithmically (think of a downward slope that starts relatively level, but progressively gets steeper as it declines); this is not indicative of random chance, but IS reminiscent of a pseudo-random number generator one of my former classmates produced in a computer programming course in Highschool.

Having personally reached level 216, I have experienced this chance curve firsthand; furthermore, the weekly challenge reward “Infinite Lives” (which removes the limit on number of lives a player gets for an allotted time period) reduces chances even further, to account for the unlimited lives, which is underhanded, but barely noticeable early on. In later levels, such as 216, the reduction in chance from the unlimited lives “reward” effectively prevents one from completing a single level (I personally attempted to complete level 216 for the entire 15 minutes I had unlimited lives, but couldn’t even get close to finishing).

This game is fun. You can get through the levels without spending money. However the way that teams are set up is ridiculous! When there is a team challenge Sometimes I do spend money, as I’ve always been a team player and I like to win. They promised 50,000 if you win, however, they paid each player (50 on a team) 1000 and the majority of our players have dropped the game so they’re getting what some of our players have worked very hard for. We can’t get rid of the players who quit playing. Only the team leader can do that and unfortunately he has quit playing as well the solution to this is to start a new team, but I like my team and as I have said I am a team player they should only give The players who actually played on the team challenge that. This would solve the problem or get rid of the team leader when they see they are not active this would make the game a lot more fun and I wouldn’t mind spending a little bit of money on a team challenge! I may quit playing soon myself but as for having to spend the morning I am around level 1500 and I am beating the levels! Just feeling a little cheated at this point!!

The most recent updates are making it less and less enjoyable to play this game. Sky Mission and Cube Heist are thinly veiled ways to deplete a player’s ability to acquire coins and boosters. This weekend the Team Tournament awards were reduced by 50% and Team Chest was lowered to 200 coins. Developers are making it more and more difficult to acquire the things necessary to play the game without purchases. They may say that you can win levels without purchases and for the most part that is correct….but when changes are made to limit the ability that a player has to accrue coins and boosters/aids then eventually the player runs out and the only way to continue playing is to spend money. This game is fun and challenging and I enjoy it a lot but not enough to start down the slippery slope of buying what it takes to win. If you want $$$ then charge the player to download it up front. My rating has gone from 5 to 2 stars over the past month for these reasons. The only reason I give it 2 stars is that developers have the opportunity now to rethink the changes they have made in order to keep the player’s endorsements.

Would I recommend it? For a little while. There’s a number of the usual problems, such as it hitting a point where it’s unplayable without spending coins or boosters. Which it’s pretty generous of in the early stages of the game, but they petter off just as the difficulty hits the “you wanted to have fun? Too bad!” Stage. Which is a shame because the game is aesthetically appealing and well put together. However for people who DONT want to spend money on it it does become impossible. For a time the difficult as heck levels are followed by relatively easy ones and it’s a nice cycle. For a time. Then that stops or more harder levels follow each other and it becomes an unfun mess. It’s a shame that games like these aren’t better balanced for players who don’t want to spend money but then again that’s kinda the whole point. Making people spend money. As a final point of contention the lives take around 30 minutes to recharge, which is an UBSURD length of time.

TLDR: fun for the first couple of chapters, then becomes impossible to beat levels without spending money. Lives take too long to recharge. Maybe if you’re bored or have exhausted all other games like it.

This game was awesome when I first started playing it, a challenging puzzle game. But then they decided to update to add the “cube heist”, at first it seemed interesting until you realize they got rid of coin rewards. Before you would win 100 coins after every 10 levels and as rewards for challenges. Now with the coin heist you can only win boosters and that VERY annoying infinite lives timer. It would be a cool feature if they gave u a choice on when to use it, but no. They give it to you and you have to use it right there or you’ll lose it forever. And even if you do get coin rewards it’s only 30 coins and I only get them like once every 2 weeks. What am I supposed to do with 30 coins. I can’t use coins to continue on a level so if I’m stuck I’m stuck for days-weeks on ONE LEVEL. I understand they definitely did this to get people to waste more time and real money on this game to buy more coins & use the lives timer booster. But I’m not spending a single dollar on this game, I’m closer to deleting it honestly. It’s becoming a waste of time, not a hobby.

I love playing this game! It is very addicting and also it really makes you think about the moves that you make. What I have an issue with is once you get up in the higher levels, you really either need to be a genius and can figure out the puzzle every time or you need to buy coins all of the time. I am not a genius and I am not someone who can spend money on coins all the time. I end up playing the same level over and over and over again until I magically clear the board.

The other thing that I see as simply a ploy to get you to buy more coins is the first time you want five more turns it’s only 100 coins. But if you can’t clear the board in those five turns, to buy another five turns it goes up to 200 coins. Granted, they do give you some power ups, but it’s not that good of a bargain IMO. For those of us who can’t constantly buy coins, this game is very frustrating and I think they need to rethink their strategy a little for those who love the game and want to play it but have a very modest bank account.

I got this game because of the adds with Ryan And it helped me thought the toughest parts of college classes I’ve had it for three years and was pretty far in the game. The memories were sweet and old Toon Blast and I had Fun. But today the gods of Toon conspired to end me. In the middle of a game after a hard day on the front line the game reset my level in an instant nearly 20 thousand levels with five stars where wiped. In this game the first time completing a level is the only time, no going back to try and improve, it’s a one and done. but it’s good because then your not caught up in the past trying to prefect every level.

I’ll never be able to replace the Nothankyou’s The lovely group i created, a group to go to battle with, to gather stars with, to share Hearts with but most importantly to gain coin with. To those that are looking for a fun puzzle solving color matching game with lots of content and funny animals this is a great game. But be warned the Toon gods may Blast away all your data and start you over from scratch.

Farewell Toon Blast Farewell Nothankyou’s may the ashes of my levels be as annoying as only having five hearts and a 20min cool down timer.

This game really is a great game. I’ve been playing it for ages and have beat all the levels, waiting for updates, several times. Even though, as is typical, we can tell the game is cheating us time and time again by sending 19/20 boosters in the wrong direction, I continued to play. It was that addictive. Cute graphics, challenging levels, the ability to periodically receive lives from teammates, team challenge events - all have turned this into my favorite game of all time. If I feel like a game I’d ONLY trying to get my money, I will not play. This one had the balance of difficulty and attainability perfected - enough to keep us coming back.

However, with this last update, taking away the free lives in the Star Chest, it is having me question my loyalty. That Star Chest is gained after collecting 20 stars and ALWAYS contained the ability to restore to full lives (& 2 other rewards). We work really hard to get to 20 stars, knowing that reward will come, along with the ability to play a little more. How can you just suddenly take it away after all this time. Bring it back!!

I want to offer some balance in the reviews. it’s true the developers want to make money, and they have recently come up with lots of things to sell, however, I’ve been playing for years, I’ve completed every level to date AND NEVER SPENT A DIME! yes it’s easier to clear levels if you do spend money on item packs, but the game is beatable. it’s a puzzle! it’s a challenge! if you want to mindlessly click around, yeah you’ll get stuck. some levels take 10-15 tries, but that’s good! makes you think!! and really I think the purchase options are good if you want to use them.

also there are no adds or commercials, I don’t know what others are talking about. there are one time pop ups for item sales sometimes, but you close them and then play as much as you want without interruption.

over all this is a good game, I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because they aren’t coming up new challenges much anymore… just more levels. granted there are ALOT of challenges already that they combine and rearrange to keep things interesting and fun, I just miss downloading the latest level and finding a new obstacle to figure out. but I can imagine after all these years and 6350 levels to date, it’s hard to keep inventing. still, they do a good job using whats already in the game in new levels.

I've been playing this game for a while now and there's one thing I wish would change. You get random rewards once you finish a challenge. Sometimes that reward is free 60mins of unlimited play. You don't get a choice when to use it, you don't see it coming, it just pops up and you have to use that reward immediately or else you loose it if you can't play for that long. Sometimes I log on just to give my teammates some help with granting them lives, which I think is such an awesome option, but then I open my rewards and Bam! 60 minutes I can't use of unlimited play. For reference, you get 5 lives, or chances, to play before you run out and have to wait for them to be replenished with a certain amount of time in between to regain each life. So if you fail 5 times, that's it, gotta wait, or ask your team for life or possibly buy more life with coins. Every other reward gets added to your arsenal for you to choose when you wanna use them, I just wish they would do the same with this reward. I get it, it forces people to linger on ToonBlast just a little longer, but I wish it was an option instead of an automatic addition. It feels like a waste of a reward you earned, once it can't be used to your advantage.

I have been in a top team, but along with the others in that team I am frustrated with the de elopers of this game. Lately there have been too many challenges with impossible goals so that one is forced to spend money or take days to play the new levels. Some people on teams do not play for a number of reasons, even on a team of top players. I despise the dueling against top world teams and the ridiculous 6000 star chests with rewards not worthwhile for the effort. I feel pressured when on a team because I am an over achiever. I am thinking of playing with no team so I can determine whether to stay at all. New levels are too impossible to be fun, all while having a ridiculous 6000 star team chest. The cost of playing is absolutely ridiculous. Yet I did enjoy this game for a time until the developers got too greedy to force people to pay. There is no way to give and get lives without a team. Also, you cannot play this on Facebook or cinque platforms, unlike Toy Blast which is individual oriented.

Toon blast is a fun but hard and challenging game. So any one who loves challenge and hardness get the game!! But this can also be Frustrating so that’s why I rated it it four stars because it can be very fun. But also very challenging. So I just want to tell the truth about toon blast. Because I think people should get a game they like not just on a channel. Because the Channel doesn’t even show you that you have moves. You can feel really frustrated when you don’t win all the time so just get the game if you love it. Don’t feel sorry for the game if you don’t like it and rated it at five even though you hate it. Delete it if you don’t like it get it if you want it the game doesn’t control you. But it can also be fun so just keep that in mind that’s why I am keeping it. Also rated it a four because it’s challenging! And Fun! You do get to meet cute characters and a really amazing and they’re awesome they have a cool names like Bruno bear or Wally wolf and cooper cat!! Get this game if you like challenge. I myself love challenge so that’s why didn’t delete it even though I rated it a four.

I like this game...a lot! I’m on level 787 right now. It’s getting harder to compete with the people winning extra coins and hammers because it’s harder to win the levels, so you spend more time on one level, but the people with higher number of levels mastered in a 48 hour window get rewarded with the most coins or hammers. That’s annoying since I’m probably spending as much time on ToonBlast . Then, you get 1 life every 30 minutes - up to 5 lives. So just now, I wasted my 5 lives on 5 tries where it wasn’t even possible to win the level. So, 7 minutes of frustration, and now I sit for 2.5 hours for another 5 tries. Or, I guess I could go back every 30 minutes for 1.5 minutes. I know eventually the tiles will fall in a way I can strategize a win, it’s just, who knows how long that’ll take. And I’ve thought about buying lives or coins or whatever, but the packages are limited to a 24 hour period. What if I don’t want to binge play? I do have a life outside of Toon Blast. But, the game is fun! Otherwise, these issues wouldn’t be an issue.

This game was really fun at earlier times, and I play in spare time. The challenges on some levels are ok. I don’t spend money for coins or boosters because I’m on fixed income, and retired. I decided to join a team for getting extra lives and the winnings, if we win tournaments.
Recently, something has changed on this game. Winning a tournament no longer pays 1k coins. Now, as winner, only 500 coins. Also, the levels are no longer enjoyable to play, because one can see that they are ‘fixed’, where you can’t win, unless you use more coins or those nice boosters. It seems like the last move to make is a fail, which would require spending 100 coins to continue or purchase boosters or coins.
I was ok with saving my boosters and meager coins for tournaments, but it is no longer fun to play. Then, when the prize is an extra 60 min for winning tournaments, you have to play right then, or lose the 60 min play time. That’s really off putting when it’s not convenient to play for an hour at that time.
I don’t know what going on with developers. It could be they are strapped for cash, or just getting greedy. I would say to you, please consider the audience that is trying to enjoy this game. And please stop ignoring the complaints.

So i personally love this game, and no I'm not a robot or whatever. Im at level 640, and honestly i really like that they still have new things to discover even tho I'm almost to level 700. This recent update though I hate that they don't refill your hearts anymore, thats in a way how i would play for longer periods of time. Still since downloading the game I’ve never spent not one penny on this game so i don't understand some of the reviews claiming the game is expensive to play and move forward. It’s actually not that impossible to complete higher levels, theres plenty of people who are in 1000s or 2000s so its definitely possible. If i play a hard level i just use 1 or 2 items i was GIFTED and its all good. Theres no reason to spend money for items or hearts. Im in a group so usually i ask for lives and i get some extras on top of the 5 im given so thats not an issue as well as items and coins arent hard to obtain so yall wack lol. Btw this is coming from a teenager not some older person.

This game is a lot of fun. I’ll admit, I used to feel sorry for people who spent their time addicted to these types of games so much so that I hide my screen from my girlfriend when I became obsessed with playing it. Eventually, I showed her the game, after which we had a BLAST playing back and forth before bed. It’s, really, an entertaining and satisfying game.

The game likely cheats, though. Many, many times I’ve been stuck in a level, used up all of my lives (at times, up to 19) then bought another 5 with 100 coins and beat the level immediately. I’m fairly sure you’re given a 50% higher chance of beating your current level if you spend the in-game currency, but I don’t think it has to be actual money to give you an edge. Regardless, if that’s true (which we’ll never really know) it’s very wrong and angers me a lot.

I’ve maybe paid actual money twice to pass a level. For my girlfriend, however, I’ve spent in the area of around $30 so we could keep playing before bed and having fun. If it’s something that’s enjoyable in a unique way, then it feels worth it, but I’ve never felt content after doing it just sitting in my chair alone. My girlfriend agrees, though, that paying is really foolish.

All in all, it’s a great game which, clearly, a lot of work has been put into making, but I don’t think it’s ever worth it to pay to win, even if your team is depending on you to beat a challenge. They all have better things to do with their money, too.

Ok so when I first started playing this game it was fun and addictive. Now it’s just all about money. Especially when you get to the higher levels like around 800 and beyond. I understand that the levels supposed to get harder. But I noticed that when you get a key to a box now they rarely give you any hearts to refill your 5 lives. This didn’t start until I started getting to the higher levels like 800. That’s why I know it’s all about money. Trust me I’ve already spent a lot on this game as far as money goes I’m not spending no more. So it’s ridiculous that you have to wait long for them to refill you’re 5 lives. I’m going to give it 2 stars I’m losing interest in the game fast because of the money scheme. You have been warned at first it’s a great game but once you get to the higher levels it becomes irritating and frustrating because they won’t give you any hearts when your winning.

OMGOSH! #Most addicting game eves! Ok so I have played games like best fiends, best fiends stars, world puzzle games, and so much more! And all of them were pretty easy and addicting but Toon Blast is awesome. And I have a suggestion to make the game even better! So when I was looking at reviews before I got this game I saw pay to play as one of the titles. I just ignored it and hoped that it was false. I don’t want to burst your bubble but that review title was correct. I am a bit disappointed but I have enough money to “pay to play”. And it’s not real money. It’s just the games currency. Which is much better then “paying to play” with real money! Lol 😝! But that’s not the point! The point is you should take away the whole “pay to play” thing and make it a play, play, play app! If that makes sense. Well I hope in the future you can update and make this game even better! Bye! And developers if you read please say if you will change the whole pay to play thing!

Toon Bast is a lot of fun at first with rewards for finishing every 10th level and gaining every 20th star, but the more advanced one progresses in the game, the more it feels like the house always wins. Coin rewards initially start out big, but gradually get smaller and smaller. If you only need a few more moves to clear a level, but the awarded number of moves runs out, you can buy 5 more for 100 coins. No problem early on, but as those rewards start to dwindle, you’ll need to fork over some real cash for some in-game coinage. Considering the game controls how “lucky” you are to collect similarly colored blocks (the method to clear a level), it appears the designers have built in unfavorable odds that cater to the impatient player who is willing to spend actual money for some in-app coins and power ups. Power ups are another commodity that are randomly awarded and, in some cases, needed to finish a level. If extra coins or power ups are in short supply, you’ll be waiting a long time to finish a level. Bottom line: fun to play, but either be patient or have money to burn.

I used to love this game... use to sneak and play it at work, send ppl to voicemail to keep playing... the game used to be really fun to play with the weekly tournaments winning up to $1000 in coins if on a team, awards after completing 10 levels or gaining 20 stars BUT after playing this game for some time now I realized those rewards are all you will ever get ... Whether your on level 1 or 3001 you will get the same rewards for beating 10 levels and achieving 20 stars and with the weekly tournaments the most you will win is $1000 coins. Recently the game added daily challenges where you can win $100 in coins for achieving a goal but the game makes it impossible to achieve the goal or beat a level sometimes to get these coins...even with the weekly tournaments you can be stuck on a level for days during the tournament time frame but as soon as the tournaments done you beat levels. The game needs some new rewards like unlimited lives for 24 hours or an atomic bomb that blows up the whole board OR to allow use of rockets and bombs that you earned during the game not only at the start of the game.
