Block Puzzle Reviews

BlockPuzzle is mostly ads with a little bit of game playing thrown in. I would gladly pay to remove ads but that option isn’t available. Not only is there an ad every minute, but I keep getting an ad with a girl screaming at the top of her lungs. If you are playing music or podcasts, this game hijacks your speakers with every ad. Then the music or podcast doesn’t come back on after the ad ends. If you leave the block puzzle game to turn music back on, the game goes right back to an ad when you come back, so your music goes away again. It’s an endless cycle of ads that ruins the entire game experience.

i am good at games
i am good at tetris

i downloaded this forma tapjoy offer
it says “get 2000 points”
and it’s impossible!
the amount of points you get is so miniscule. it takes 15 minutes to earn 700 points..and then you lose

the game always throws pieces at you that it knowsmyou can’t place. like when imneed vertical pieces, it throws horizontal pieces. when i need blocks, it throws lines. when i need small pieces, it throws large pieces, but then there is lots of open space, it throws small pieces.

2000 points is impossible!
i see other reviewers saying it is possible to get over 8000 and i do not believe that.

this game is designed to destroy your soul and crush it into the dust.
it “looked” like Tertris, but they just took Tetris as a model and then removed everything that made Tetris fun.

this game is NOTHING like Tetris!!!

plus...ads everywhere
banmer ads while playing
a pop up ad after every loss.

and the game constantly asks if you “love it”, not “like” ..”LOVE”
like this developer believes their game is God’s gift to the world, like they think they made a masterpiece, that i would not just like it, but LOVE it

screw you

i dunno why i bother writing a review, they are probably just gonna delete it. . .

I thought this would be similar to Tetris, but the block configurations are not limited to 4 units, and you can not alter their orientation to better fit in the puzzle. The problem with the blocks not being limited to four units is that all of a sudden, you’ll get a 3x3 square block, which eats a lot of space and rarely fits your puzzle. Dangerous also are the 5 unit long straight pieces. There’s no room! Another thing that really bothered me during play was that the shapes come in any and every color; shapes do not have specific/assigned colors, and it would have been more helpful if all the 2 unit pieces were yellow and the 2x2 squares all blue etc etc. As others have said, the advertisements are exceedingly intrusive. I’ll be deleting this one and looking for something better made.

I love this game, but one major flaw of the game is that, the game needs a better way to recognize which next 3 pieces it’s going to give you thats “useable”. For those who hasn’t played the game yet; You get 3 pieces, then once you’ve used up all those 3 pieces, you get 3 new ones. The problem is that too many times, you’ll get far in the game around 2k-3k range, then the next 3 piece the game gives you are pieces that you abs can’t use at all so it ends the game, or only one of those 3 pieces will fit somewhere in the grid but will lead no where, so again, it ends the game. It’s almost like they give you those next 3 pieces to lose.

UPDATE: Ended up deleting this game in favor of a somewhat similar game but better

So I know probably most people here are for the reward for doing the reward. And when you get into BlockPuzzle it’s basically a nest of ads. But I tell you this. It is possible to get the 8000 points. After playing over 52 hours of this game I was able to find a pattern on how to play and after 25 hours I got to 4000 points. But the way I do it is I will play and get to a certain objective (Usually 2000 points) and when I reached that point I would try my best to clear the board as much as I could, and take a break for a bit. Then I would come back and get to my next objective and so on. I tell you it is possible!!

Ads have slowly made their way into this game. They used to be the occasional pop-up between games. Then the pop-ups became more frequent. Now there are ads at the bottom of the screen all the time, and there are always pop-ups between each game, and they can’t be dismissed.

I understand the need to generate revenue beyond the initial sale of the game, but I would MUCH rather pay a moderate one-time fee upfront, have the option to pay to disable ads via IAP, or pay a very nominal annual subscription than to have to put up with ads that disrupt the user experience.

I love puzzle games! I love Tetris and although I realize this game is slightly different from Tetris in the sense we can’t turn the pieces around It’s still quite similar. I do not like playing games that are so easy that there is no challenge but this is a bit much. I started playing initially to get diamonds for another game and I have to score 2000 points to get the diamonds. I am STILL trying with a high score of only 657. I’m not giving up yet but I also won’t keep at it so long I drive myself crazy. Shouldn’t be this hard. Would happily give 5 stars if wasn’t so so challenging.

I downloaded this game to get a bonus in another game through tap joy. The goal was to get 2000 points. It took me two days to do it but I did so it’s not impossible. Just remember they give you the blocks you need to clear at least one line every time they give you a new set of blocks. Sometimes that means you have to put them in a specific place so don’t be all willy nilly with your block placements lol. Good luck!

This game has wonderful scope for improvement over a long period of time to develop skills in spatial reasoning. There are many types of strategies one can employ to use the three random pieces in tandem to clear more space on the board for the larger pieces. It provides long periods of relaxing problem solving, since there is no time limit to place your pieces and you can pause and pick up the game from where you left off.

The only criticisms of the game I would have are:

* I wish the pieces were color-coded, like in Tetris, to make it easier to identify pieces.

*Sometimes when I get a low battery warning, the piece I was moving automatically gets placed wherever it was hovering! I wish it would just return the piece to the bottom if I get a screen interruption.

*I wish there was a way to reduce the element of chance in the game so you use more strategy, like chess. One time I must have gotten so lucky to get all small pieces, and my score went up to 21,000. But I have never broken 8000 before or since.I wish there was a way to be able to anticipate when the larger or smaller pieces were coming, which would affect one’s strategy.

Hi! Let me start by saying this is no necessarily a game a child will be in a few hours or even days. It’s fun for car rides and down time. It is also great to use without WiFi, data, or on airplane mode, because it will block the ads. Yes, there are ads, but they can easily blocked by switching your mobile to airplane mode. Simple and self explanatory game, and if all block puzzle games, this one would be my recommendation. Thanks for checking the reviews. I think a lot of parents do haha.

Okay...so the game isn’t bad but I do have something that I want to say which is please get rid of the ads or if you can’t do that then at least have ads after two-three rounds because every round at the end of the game there is an ad which is annoying because I’m just trying to play the game and having that much ads will get you a low rating so all I’m asking is to please do something about it

This game is amazing! It’s the original block game that has not been copied from others! It’s really challenging to get 8,000 points, but it’s worth it, it’s so satisfying to see all the colors that are available. I play this game every day and I finally reached 5,000 points! I feel so proud and accomplished. I feel really good about downloading this game, I got this from an ad, and the ad was amazing too! I love how the colors are rainbow, but there are decent ads that pop up just like this game, which I’m pretty mad about, I don’t want this game copyrighted by strangers because this is my new favorite game 😫😱😭 Five stars for you!! 🥰😍😛☺️😊💕❤️👍👍👍👍👍

The puzzle has an updated look with pop up messages on user status. This is distracting and takes away from the fun. In addition, it is more difficult to see which pieces no longer fit on the screen.

The only slight new twist this game brings is that you are working in 8x8 instead of 10x10 like all the similar games I have played. I have quite enjoyed this game and the added animations and fast-paced gameplay. I was slightly annoyed by the amount of ads but for a free game, they’re fairly short and only between games.

Flood of water from a few days ago today people should always Play this game all day everyone likes this game and 60 years old people still play that game people wanna keep playing keep Blanquita please keep my mom say I am play another game that night at night time lay this all day long-standing pop out of the game restart the game night have a nice day I hope you like this game bye I am going to sleep

when i got it i didn’t think i would play it this much, i really like it and it’s so hard to beat my own score! very fun keeps me entertained and i have a lot of fun with it i really recommend this game 10/10 the ads are not even that bad, you don’t get one every second just when you lose sometimes. My score right now is 1821, has anyone beat me? 👹

I’ve been playing for years. It’s great to play in the background while doing other things.. watching tv, listening to a podcast, etc. It’s incredibly basic, but is a fun challenge. Over the years, my high score is 13,526 (which I’m sure I will never reach again-ha). It’s a great game! The ads are annoying—hands down I would pay for an ad-free version. But still worth it to play!

Yes, indeed I do love this game. It really keeps my mind active and on a challenging level. Next to spelling, which is playing scrabble and word with friends this is my next favorite game. I know in life you can’t win them all, but in this game you have to stay on your toes. Because your first slip up, this game is ready to do you in. And if you don’t play your pieces right, the move before, this game will give you pieces that it knows that you can not make a move, and will “stale mate,” you.

I’ve been playing this since day one. It’s a good “problem solving” game. It’s simple enough to do n is fun!! My grandchildren play it too n they love it!
It’s a classic game that will never “go out of style.”
It’s great at getting you to use a little strategy n foresight. Plus, is relaxing n gets ur mind to a happy place on those stressful days, that we’re all experiencing now.
Thank you for the little upgrades and for keeping it an always easy to enjoy n play!!!
Keep ‘em coming!

I can spend hours playing this game. It’s very different than other block games in that you always need to keep certain combinations of spaces open. Once you close off more spaces than you should, the game punishes you with unplayable blocks and you’re toast. Most of the time the game doesn’t give you the pieces you want, but it gives you something you can use. And when your mind syncs with the algorithm the game can give you the perfect pieces to clear large areas. I can easily get over 6,000 points most of the time and my highest score is over 17,000.
