Tile Craft - Triple Crush Reviews

by Etherealauren

The “No Ads” purchase does not remove all ads! It only removes the ads between levels. If you use any of the 3 “free boosters” or use “second chance” at the end of a level, you have to watch an ad. That means there are FOUR possible ads for EVERY level. Although they are optional, this is false advertising. I have never paid for a “No Ads” purchase in another game and had this issue. I did wait several days and make sure my app was up to date, so it is not a glitch.

Play a level, watch an AD, after that navigate to Home Screen and have to watch an AD! Anytime you want to navigate ti a new screen you have to watch an AD. After one to two boards cleared you have to watch an AD. Okay to remove ADs and you still have to watch a video at certain points. I don’t recommend TileCraft as there are similar out there that aren’t as AD heavy and if you pay to remove the ADs they are removed and there isn’t a catch to have to watch a video AD.

I bought TileCraft today to get rid of ads because I thought it was a good game for my grandkids. It was $2.99 which is reasonable if it worked. I tried sending a message to tech support in the ap store (there was no place in the game to do this) and after trying several times it kept telling me that it couldn’t find what I wanted. It was a basic form you just filled in the blanks. Frustrated and want my money back.

Update to developers response
When you ask someone to pay to remove ads it should be all ads not just the ones you feel like removing. That should be stated somewhere when purchasing. Remove ads means all. Deceptive advertising for removing ads.

1st... anyone able to tell me how to change the "by" name? I didn't name myself that.
Now the review... it's a fun game. I do have to agree with the others about it's crashing... frequently & annoying. Developers DO SOMETHING PLEASE!!
Update.. my original review was Aug 19 today is Sept 1. After FINALLY getting through level 500 (using tips & shuffling) I go on to level 501. After failing on my 1st attempt I restarted the level only to be taken back to level 500. Unable to open 501 I was going to just mention this issue when I saw an update was ready that claimed game performance fixes. Well NOW I CAN'T OPEN IT!!!! Seriously!
DELETING!!! Hey developers.... don't quit your day job!

to play first level ... (paid $2.99 for no ads) ... but to continue have to either watch an ad or replay ... after two ads am still at level 1 ... just downloaded, am deleting ... I'm quick, but the minuscule (you blink your eyes you miss it) time is ridiculous
Carol C (wife of nhm)... btw, I am GOOD at this type of game, the game is designed to keep you on level one unless you continue to pay to play.
btw, am not paying an additional amt to continue to play because IMO any game where you have to continue to pay to continue to play is not worth my time and money. I'd rather play one (pre fermium) price, or not play....

At first this game was really cool and challenged you a lot. 40 levels in and they make it where you have to select specific tiles to get to the next one, but you end up with no matches so you have to fail. You have to fail over and over so the tiles shuffle in a way that you end up getting a match when picking in the specific order. It’s super frustrating and makes me not like the game . Do not recommend. Also there is SO many ads, every time you lose it’s an ad.

I liked this game but after so many levels it is impossible to find a match. I had to use all my boosters to finish one level. My time bar was so low I didn’t receive boosters for the next level. I barely have time to look at the tiles now as the time bar clicks down so fast. I enjoyed this game but I don’t like being forced to pay for boosters and time just to get through a level. A matching game is not worth $5 to complete a level. If the game was better designed I wouldn't care pay a reasonable price.
The ads are ridiculous. 28 to 30 seconds for one ad then another ad. Watching two ads after every level is a bit much and now they are political. I download games to relax not watch political ads. If I wanted political ads I would just watch tv. Deleted app and will find something else

by Halobeaver

Its really fun at first but around level 46 it will start throwing levels at you that will be physically impossible to beat. So you either have to watch a bunch of ads for second chances, buy more power ups to use to get through it, or just restart the level over and over and OVER again hoping the cards are shuffled in a way that it’s possible. Do better.

by FaithC7713

I love the game, and I’d love to give it 5 stars. But more than any app I have played this one over does it with the ads. I know games need to advertise. But this is crazy ridiculous! You even just pause the game to put it down for a second or two. It’s an ad just to continue game play. And then the x you click is super tiny and it keeps sending you to TileCraft Store to download that game. If you slow down on the ads you would have a five star game.

by Tmgolightly

If I Cannot play without paying I will not keep. You cannot get past level 54 without buying a ton of help. A few levels back it was super hard also and I used all the free help. So 3 days of trying I give up. Whenever an ad starts I close TileCraft anyway. I have had TileCraft for less than a week. Was tired of waiting for lives in zen match. But I’m on level 209 there after 2 weeks. Maybe take away 2 of the tiles in level 54. It is impossible.

by FunMom30

A recent upgrade now has advertisements every time I push a button. Pause game = ad. Play game = ad. Go home = ad. Its forcing us to pay $3 to remove the ads. I am on level 108 and really enjoy the game play, but I will stop playing soon due to how obnoxious the ads are. I understand what a free game means, but this is ridiculous!! Please change it back to one advertisement per two levels won.

This game can actually be challenging, it’s good for mind thinking analyzing moves to set up for next matches. Things I don’t like are; the long adds, and games stacked with no way to make matches, then you have to start over cause you failed the level several times! So having a game with no way to make 3 matches required, doesn’t make sense at all! I’m really good with puzzles but this is a bit much. Free draws can be obtained once reaching a certain numbers of matches I believe? Three of those free options are return tile drawn, pull a tile to complete a 3 match, and shuffle tiles with hopes of better tile choices. Improvement is needed and I’ll probably find a different game! It is addictive.

Update: after playing this addictive game I can’t let go of, having several restarts within the top two tile layers as there is no possibility of 3 matches, I’ve started over & over many times and got freebies to reach over 200 level. With each restart the tile choices becomes easier to win. Otherwise the clinching is to pay for the 3 actions getting multiple tries and not having to restart games watching minute long adds.

It seems you changed you ad algorithm to play more frequently. I used to like that I could try a level 2 or 3 times before an ad appeared. I’m currently stuck on a challenging level and the ad comes on after my first try. There’s no incentive to keep going if an ad will appear after every play. I used to like this game, but now it’s becoming too frustrating and that’s not because the puzzles are too hard.

by Drl621

I get it, it’s free, but play time compared to ad time is not enough. It seems almost 50/50 and the ads are super repetitive and super annoying where you think it’s finally over and then there’s more or when you can finally X out of it, you can’t - it just keeps taking you to an app download page. Multiple times I’ve just given up and closed TileCraft . Maybe after I get past more levels the gsmes will take longer, but if it doesn’t get better soon I’ll probably just delete it. The game itself is ok.

by Forever&&Alwaysxx

I wish that when you reach certain levels, the theme of the tiles would switch to something different. Instead of it being the same tiles for all levels.

Also, I wish that when you get 3 stars on a level it would give you a reward *without* you having to watch a video to claim it. The videos always get stuck and don’t play.

by Evilmoonglow

I like the game. The adds don't bother me. But this game, like tile master, has a bothersome glitch. A white screen pops up and you have to close out the game and start it completely over by turning it back on. This happens during adds and the game. I'm sure with all the technology we have, that these glitches can be fixed. If it is a matter of actually buying someone's game, free of glitches, then the game shouldn't be under free games. I read lots of reviews for a lot of things and it seems that these types of issues never get addressed. Games are, or should be, for enjoyment, not unnecessary frustration and ultimate deletion.

by DropC429

Just listen I love this game it’s perfect but I swear on everything I love you, if you guys start piling it with ads for some more money I’m not even gonna spend my money on the game. Just please don’t over load with ads because if it comes to that I’m deleting immediately. Right now the ads aren’t that bad cause its not videos or nothing like that but seriously. DO START. Love the game tho amazing !!

by Fishermomof3girls

Love this game! Addicting- but need more levels. It shows there are locked ones- but how do we get them?? I’ve even gone back and got three stars on every previous level. Any help would be appreciated.

by Matthew Hain

Its super fun. Its been my favorite game ever since I started playing it. Some levels are super challenging which took me some time to pass it, which is fine as it is the essence of the game. BUT, for me, level 117 is IMPOSSIBLE to pass. I've been trying to pass it for more than 3 HOURS. Suggestions: make it simpler/ make it so that we can pass without using powerups/ allow us to skip to other levels first I will uninstall it if I really cant pass the level Thanks

Update: Thank you for your hard work! I have passed level 117. Really loving the game. Keep up the good work! Lots of love 💕💕

by ChristyBMD

I am really enjoying this game *especially* after paying for no ads. I’m not normally someone who buys no ads, but now the game speeds on by and dare I say it, it seems easier once I bought it? The time wasted watching the same ads over and over was tiresome so just buy the no ads and enjoy a great game for your mind!

Need a fix on the video glitch that will not allow me to watch videos for extra boosters.

Would you please and kindly fix the glitch that won’t let the videos for boosters or second chances play? It’s been a problem for a while. Sometimes they work and sometimes not.

I have experienced problems as of late with playing the videos for the free boosters. Have others been having the same problem? It works on my iPad Pro generation 4 but will not work on iPad Pro. Just wondering. I thought maybe it was the new IOS 14, but I changed my mind on that.

I enjoy playing this game. I have paid for the ad free version which is okay. I know I have to watch ads to get my free boosters. The ads are not the problem, but the repetition of the ads is a problem. I don’t want to see the same ad over and over and over on a given day, especially when they are 30 second spots. Sometimes a 30 second ad goes over onto a new screen that plays for another 5 seconds. In this respect, I almost appreciate the political ads because they only run 10-15 seconds. But honestly, watching the same game ads again and again has become tedious. I’d much rather watch product ads like food, cleaning, drinks, etc., but I can honestly say that I will never download Lily’s Garden or Bubble Blaster something-or-other. Please see if you can do something about this.

The game is exactly what it should be. It’s simple, easy to understand, and relaxing (though it gets frustrating at some points). I’m not exactly into puzzle games since my brain hates those but I do love Pocket Mystery (received 5-stars and the only game I gave max stars since like over 4 years or more). This game, it’s alright.

My only complaint is that it’s exactly like Mahjong Solitaire but looks different. I shouldn’t be complaining since literally the majority of games or ads I see are somewhat EXACTLY the same concept as the originals but in a different art style and there are probably games others can create instead of just changing art styles of others, but it’s alright. I don’t mind if people just take a game and change it up like adding extra details into making it a better version as long as the only thing that changed is its looks.

I will still continue playing this but not very often. I do like the fact that the pictures stand out more so you can match them easier and the fact that the images change. I also like that there aren’t as many ads as the other games I see.

Try & you will see how much fun this game can be! Once you begin you might think it’s too easy, it might fool you into believing it’s simple & breezy. But enjoy it as you will, keep on your guard it can trick you still! Too much rhyme will waste your time but I truly recommend this game just the same. Enjoy!🙂
