This isn’t a puzzle game, yet its being advertised as one. I even paid for this, because the ads were just too crazy terrible, and the first couple rounds were simple and fun. But once you get about 5 rounds in, it becomes apparent that the pieces spawn in a completely random (or worse, intentionally impossible) order that forces you to lose the round. A puzzle game provides a set round with a set way to solve it. You can even tell these rounds are just a random set of pieces because when you fail and start over, it’s an entirely different round! It just gets insanely frustrating when you get far in a round, and then you’re presented 7 of the same piece in a row and you automatically lose, no matter how you played any others piece the entire rest of the game. There’s also no satisfaction to finishing one round, because it’s not like you managed to get the placement right, figured out the puzzle, get to move on to another one. Because like I said, even if you fail the round, you’re given a totally new one regardless of if you technically advance or not. The ads in this game are as awful as everyone says. But the game itself is only $3, so if you enjoy it, I personally think that’s a very reasonable trade off to just pay for it. It’s not loaded with micro transactions or a monthly fee, just the one time $3. So if you can tolerate this to level 7 (just to be safe), just pay for it.

I do believe this game is fixed to make you watch the ads. I’d gladly pay the $3 to get rid of ads but that would only get rid of the ads I don’t mind as much, the ones in between the levels. I complained about the ads that I have to “choose” to watch in order to keep playing the game, you know the ones that paying $3 dollars doesn’t get rid of. After I complained, suddenly I get to now “enjoy” commercial breaks in the middle of the game, as if the multiple ads I “choose” to watch aren’t enough to go through. I’m on a level in the 70’s so it takes a lot of points to win, which means that I have to “choose” to watch a lot of ads during the game in order to not start over and lose my points. Now I get the lovely commercials too! While the app itself shows an option to pay $3 to get rid of ads, according to this actual description page, if you really want the whole thing, you get to pay them $8/ WEEK, that’s $24 per month or $32 for the months that are 5 weeks long. That’s insane. These people are seriously greedy. And they are not above throwing every ad at you they can in order to get you to “subscribe.” I’m at a point where I spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. I’m now looking for another, similar game that is maybe made by makers who are less greedy.

Don’t bother with this app. As already stated by another reviewer, this game is extremely difficult to win. There’s a lot of free apps— that are bogged down with ads— that are exactly like this. This slices game in particular is the worse I’ve seen. I was constantly getting the same pieces in a row until I had no more space and was forced to deal with losing or would just quit in aggravation. The algorithms for the piece selection are either poorly randomized or designed solely to get you to lose. But, even worse than that is the fact that I received an extremely alarming ad that is most likely to blame for why my phone keeps freezing and crashing. One night while playing, I’m suddenly stopped by a random ad for pornography. It’s never happened to me before, and I don’t know who’s to blame for it happening with this game. This ad was a 15-30 second long series of uncensored video clips from some porno, and I could NOT skip it. I had to wait it out. However, my phone freeze right after, and I can’t press any of the buttons either. My phone then inevitably crashes and restarts after several minutes. I’ve since deleted this wreck of an app, but the damage is still there. Just yesterday my phone crashed three or four times in less than 24 hours. I can’t believe this nonsense.
