Viola s Quest Reviews

This game is great. I use it as my mental break when working from home. The only problem it as you advance it difficult to get more than 1 star even when I make gap shots and make matches fast. Also as I advance the timed hard levels are longer but it does not seem to follow the standard clock. The timer in the game goes very slow. So if I expect the timed level to last three or four minutes it actually takes longer Bc the game clock is so slow. This also makes it difficult to pass the timed levels Bc there is no end in sight. There are barely any special balls like stop or reverse. Matching alone doesn’t fit with the speed of the ball and 4 long minutes. I refuse to spend real money. If it continues as is. I will definitely delete ViolasQuest in the near future.

Adding to my previous review. I continued playing the game and decided today to buy extra gold to keep playing a hard level. The game started and I couldn’t match anything so the balls just ran it and the screen is still stuck. I even made a video. If I couldn’t use the gold to finish the level. I want a refund! When I refreshed ViolasQuest I lost 12 gold bars and I wasn’t even able to finish the level.

The game is addicting and very frustrating. I’m trying to get the daily prize on Day 5, 29 minutes if free play and to collect double you have to watch an ad. I’ve been trying to get the ad to launch and 15 min later I’m still trying? It keeps saying your ad is not ready??why?? Stupid! Plus thae daily prizes are more about building your stupid home with upgrades that do little for helping you through levels.
Hey 2desperados, you need to give more helpers in the daily prize. Levels are hard and too long. Some are easier which is nicer instead of playing for days trying to get through a level without buying gold. This game is more about making money for the developer than playing for fun. Also there is way too much repetitition of levels
Still trying to get the ad to launch………..

I love the basic concept of this game and remember playing it on my mom’s computer as a kid. But this game ruins the basic concept of the game.

Very quickly it becomes difficult to get all three of the stupid stars for each level. I’m one of those people that feels like I need to get the stars to progress, so it’s annoying when it becomes difficult to get the stars, even when the level isn’t actually difficult to pass.

And the whole point of the dumb stars is because the game has a whole story line based around the basic gameplay. The plot isn’t even that interesting, but it seems like every game needs a story line nowadays and it ruins basic gameplay.

I guess if you’re into the whole story line thing and like basic ball shoot gameplay, you’ll like it. But all I wanted was a ball shooting game like the good old one and this isn’t it.

Also who’s idea was it to make the color for the next ball front and center on the shooting bug?! It’s bigger than the actual color being shot and it constantly stands to confuse what color is actually being shot! Honestly poor game design!

Got to level 182 and can’t stand it anymore. You can barely see the colors of the marbles through the “gum” or “frost.” If you use reverse too many times it will spit out half a length of marbles - as if to punish you. Get something good and the word “great” or something comes up…RIGHT OVER your fly…so you can’t see what color to shoot as it keeps crawling towards the lions mouth for a few seconds. Get too close to that and add a third ball of the color, which should pop them, but it pushes them in the mouth…life over. I got to #1 on the rune race, but when it was over it disappeared before I could collect my prize (which were fewer and farther between than other games). I enjoyed it for a bit but these things are making me give it up.

It’s getting really old when I can SEE the game manipulating my play so I lose. Hard levels are impossible for DAYS sometimes until it figures out I’m not going to pay to pass it, and sometimes normal levels play like hard levels and take days as well. It’s near impossible to open any eggs or finish any challenges because you are stopped short and held unless you pay for gold or power-ups. (Ps - 20 levels to open an egg??? With these mechanics??? Come on man.) Marbles change post shooting sometimes, you’ll hit something great and then “nope, those are ice or gum now haha”, shooting/switching is inconsistent, you’ll hit a reverse and it will only work for 2 seconds or only go back slightly, and the way the game CLEARLY doesn’t give you the color you need for so long so you’ll fail are extremely noticeable and unbelievably frustrating.

I know it’s a free game with optional purchases, but can you guys just at least try and make it less obvious???

Initially, I loved this game. Now, it seems they intentionally get you to lose. I was in first place, haven beaten many level to acquire a lot of diamonds during a challenge, all of a sudden, my levels stopped collecting diamonds & soooo many people were able to beat my score. No matter how many levels I kept playing, it stopped adding diamonds to my score. Also, when I tap to shoot the balls, sometimes it won’t shoot AT ALL. I’ve won a level before & the game just stopped. I thought my phone may have froze, so I moved my finger across the screen, & the ballshooter bug was moving around still. Then it changed screens, going back to menu, & showing me that I didn’t beat the level when I did, AND still took my boosters that I used to beat it though. The timeframes on the items you renovate in your forest are WAY too long. Game definitely needs some fixing.

I started out playing this game and I really enjoyed it. However, it needs to be toned down quite a bit. The random power balls don’t show up very often, and when they do the random colored balls you get never give you the color to match to get. The power crystal takes way too long to charge. Some of the levels are slow close together without power ups you can’t get passed them. Some levels have power balls that when matched don’t activate like they are supposed to. Some levels are so difficult that it takes days, weeks, and sometimes months to get past even with power ups. I have been on the same level for the past month, and have went through 4 or 5 power ups as well as rewinding still not passed it. Not saying time it down to where it isn’t fun just tone it down some. I like a challenge, and enjoy trying to figure out a way to get through the challenge. However, some levels (including your holiday levels) are so stressful that most people would leave the game.

I remember Zuma back in the day and this is the same. Ish. There’s a superfluous garden thing. The problems are that the shooter is slow so you can’t keep up so well because things have changed by the time your ball is sent. It also is inconsistent on if it will activate the power up (slow, reverse, etc). And sometimes it will let the balls get deep into the mouth without dying and sometimes when it isn’t connected it will kill you off immediately. It won’t snap back if you hit a place for that or initiate a power up. I’m pretty sure Zuma let you save yourself that way. But I’m disappointed every time.

—update—
Dropped to 2 stars and I’m done. I worked through an event SO HARD and completed it only to win… nothing? I don’t think anything came of it. This plus the inability to complete levels without 18 gold and I hit a reverse only for it to back up for a half second and continue. It’s rigged against us. Too slow and inconsistent play.

I enjoy the game. It’s challenging and sometimes frustrating, but I don’t mind that. What makes me crazy is how the game gives you no choice in when to accept rewards or use unlimited time. Yet again, just missed out on the day 5 unlimited time daily reward because it popped up when I didn’t have time to use it. Come back to the game later and it’s gone. Buy a pack with unlimited time? Use it then or it’s gone. Who is going to sit there and play for 3 hours straight? I will no longer spend money on this game until any unlimited time rewards can be banked and used at my convenience. The developers are abusing players and stealing money with this policy. I’ve had enough.

ViolasQuest is a lot of fun, but most of the games like this will give you more points by eliminating the marbles quickly, however not in this game. With this game, the longer you play a level, the more points you get. It’s like you have to position marbles of different colors in different places to prolong your game play. To get 2+ stars, you must use your your extra help, which cost money. I think this game has cost me more money then any other game. I’ve decided to delete ViolasQuest & find one that plays better. You should get more points for eliminating the marbles faster, not use all your extra bonuses at the bottom of the screen to give you more time to play longer to get the points. I’m on level 500+, and my points always come in with 1/2 the amount of points then everyone else & 1 star. Not worth my money!!!! 😕

I’ve had this game more than a year. A couple of times I’ve had to wait for more levels to be uploaded because I finished them all. I suppose that’s why now, the game is the way it is…
Levels last longer than they should, the balls do not shoot out as fast as you tap your screen, I no longer have the option of getting a “free rewind,” when I lose, the speed of the line of marbles come out way too fast, some levels I don’t even get one of those crystal ball things to blast a bunch of balls at once, I stopped getting boosters when I beat a bunch of levels, and sometimes it seems as if the game makes it so that you lose on purpose.
It is what it is, so I just stop playing for a while and all of a sudden the level that was impossible to beat, is doable.
It’s a “free” game and for what it’s worth, it’s pretty good and I play when I need something mundane to do.

This is the smoothest to play marble game; no jerky motion and the puzzles can be challenging. The gathering ‘potion’ to build magical gardens is childish and poor graphics. I’d like this game without the irritations of potions, tapping leaves, etc. Just give us a good marble game without the childish interruption. Until recently this game would give you a ‘freebie’ where you couldn’t rewind the marbles 50% to give you a chance on the harder boards, but they’ve now taken that away so you will spend more money - and trust me, you will get frustrated and spend money to get over some of these boards. Please, just take away the crap, give us an occasional freebie, and make it a really good game. I can’t take much more potion and leaf interruptions. Or make another marble game without making me build my magical, lol, village.

I have played this game for a while and I love it even though sometimes it takes weeks or days to complete a level. It’s obvious the game is rigged against the player, but I can live with that. It makes me even more proud of a finished level.

However, lately the free second chance doesn’t work. It is rare that I use it. I feel like it’s cheating. But, occasionally, when I’ve played for days, I know I’m being cheated, and I’m so close, I use the free extra time. But now, I spend my time waiting on the commercial to finish only to be met with a screen that’s says LOADING… This doesn’t end no matter how long I wait. So again, you’ve overcome the game, the game working against you, you use a help, but the help never comes.

Again, I love this game, but I’m almost finished.

I like the game itself and have been playing it for over a year (perhaps more). I’ve stuck with it through many updates, and to be honest, I am disappointed every time a new update is released. They all seem to eat away at my favorite features of the game.

Most recently, they removed the ability to go back to previous levels and replay them to earn more stars. Once that happened, I started to lose interest. Now you can ONLY move forward and never play a previous level to challenge yourself.

While I didn’t like that, I still kept playing. But the most annoying thing is that the pop up window to use coins to continue a level once it ends is at exactly the place where I accidentally tap on it at the end of every unsuccessful game. I have wasted numerous coins extending games that I didn’t want to extend.

I would suggest to the developers to add a “confirm purchase” pop up after clicking on that first purchase window so that we can cancel out of that transaction. I don’t want to waste any more coins.

I love this game, but it’s too hard. There aren’t enough rewards for accomplishments. If I finish an entire level and collect all the stars, there should be a prize for that. Unlimited amounts of lives is not really a prize, if I can’t use it at the time it’s given. Can’t I save that? And I should be able to win gold for certain accomplishments - not only for watching ads. Even more opportunities to win the special shooters would be awesome. I feel like, by the time I had learned what the game was about, the levels became insanely hard too fast and I’d used up my special prizes I’d earned the the early worlds. I’m about to throw out ViolasQuest because I’m not progressing.

As you reach higher levels the “hard” levels come up about every couple of levels, which is over the top. Often there is no way to win with the color of marbles you are given on the hard levels and the line of marbles comes out way fast at the start and is more than half way through the board before you can even start blasting. When you reach the last day prize of daily logins where you get 20 or 40 minutes of free play it disappears even if you don’t open the chest yet because you don’t have time to spend at that moment. It shouldn’t disappear unless you actually use it.

I like the game but there are constantly like 3 events or whatever happening so every time I try I open the game I have to tap through at least 10 different pop ups walking me through the various levels and prizes and blahblahblah and I just want to play the game. There’s no way to just quickly skip through all the info pop ups. I’d play a lot more often if there were just like a zen mode or just some separate game mode from the whole “journey.”
Also if there were more options for ads instead of paying gold bars. I can never earn the gold bars, once I’ve spent them I have to pay money to get more. The only time I can watch a video instead is once per day to keep going in the level. If it were five times per day or once per level that would be more understandable but this is so limited, I don’t want to spend a bunch of money just to play more than a little bit.

I had ViolasQuest for nearly a year. I enjoyed the game a lot but there have been instances where I try to extend my game (using an absurd amount of coins to do so) only to get a message “your internet isn’t working try again” well I did but— let me add my internet was working (I checked ) and after finally exiting the game (to lose my progress) I launched it again to find that even though my game wasn’t extended they still took the coins (24 total). That translates to a few dollars. Hey- two desperados? That’s called stealing. Deleted ViolasQuest . I’ll play another similar game before this company gets another dime .

I absolutely love this game! It is a very unique game and challenges you to think. The graphics are good and is interesting. But the reason I can’t give it anymore than 3 stars is because I am currently on level 160 and have been for 6 months. The only way to win this level is to spend money. Well, I have spent enough on previous levels! I will probably not be playing anymore because if I’m going to be made to spend money to win then I’m done. I love this game but if you keep adding games with levels that are so hard to win, people will stop playing all together.

I absolutely love this game, everything about it. However, on one of the updates we have the option of doubling our reward if we watch an add. That's great, watching an add doesn't bother me, but I can NEVER get it to work. It ALWAYS comes up with an error for the add. Then, if I exit out of it instead of continuing to try to watch the add over & over, it want give me my daily reward at all. So, I end up getting absolutely NOTHING!! This infuriates me. If I'm willing to watch an add for extra rewards then please make it so that I can. Thank you very much.
