Stack Blocks 3D Reviews

by Hepyaddakat

This game should have an ‘Age 1-3’ label on it. It’s so ridiculously easy it’s almost hard to play. I play a great deal of ‘mindless’ games riddled with ads. This one has got the ads set to 5-7 seconds, so that’s all right. Unfortunately, it takes less time to win levels than it does to watch the ‘congratulations’ screen (much less an ad). The amount of sit-and-wait time vs. actual-play-time is 10:1. Combine that with lack of any challenge whatsoever? Total miss.

“Easy” doesnt even begin to describe how not challenging this game is. It was not making me smarter at all, I was losing brain cells playing this game. I had to stop before i went insane. I played like 75 levels and it is just the worst. I thought it’d get harder by then but the first 50 levels its impossible to get wrong. Im sure it gets harder and more entertaining but please erase the first hundred levels bc they are just a waste of time. Also turn ur wifi off so you dont get plagued w ads. That is all.

We were curious what these “POPORE” developers were about, so we decided to test one of their games.

Firstly, the ads! There’s an ad after every 2 levels. I tried turning airplane mode on, the ads still popped up. Heck, I even unabled the Wi-Fi, but the ads were still playing. This is annoying to say the least. Either add optional in-app purchases or not worry about the income whatsoever. This truly needs fixing.

Secondly, just outright laziness. I get it, these developers put quantity over quality, but this level of cheapskates and laziness is unacceptable and overall a horrible tactic for game development. Every single game by Popcore is just copy + paste. It’s ok to put quantity over quality sometimes, but at least put some effort and creativity into it.

However, we did love the variety of customization. Not only can you change the background pattern, but you can choose what you want the blocks to look like. There’s also an option to make your own buildings, and eventually a town, but that option is pointless and only to rack up ratings.

If you love boring, easy, cheaply made puzzle games, then this is definitely for you, but if you’re looking for professional gameplay, then I certainly would not advise you to waste your time downloading this.

I love Popcore games, and own several of them. I am not a huge fan of ads that don’t add to my game experience so I pay for no ads on all of them (plus support the developers is a plus). Well I PAID for no ads on this one (3 times actually). And I have ads still both banner and pop up ads. When I try to pay for no ads again it just spins and then goes back to the menu, when I tried to do the restore purchase StackBlocks3D froze up and crashed. Then I deleted and down loaded the game fresh and after the intro levels tried to pay for no ads again. It did the spinning and then returned to menu so I tried the restore purchase and it froze again.
I super hope for them to fix this. I love their games and this one is fun, but I lost almost $9 and still have ads. Once it’s fixed I’ll update my review.

This is like my third game that I have downloaded from this company, they have a great concept but not anywhere near that level of challenge you would expect after playing 1300 level there’s a sub game where you earn points by building houses and a certain point you’re spending hours waiting to earn enough points so you can get 100 more “stars”
Currently I earn 27,180 stars every 4 hours... 54,360 if I watch a stupid advertisement.
To build a house is AT LEAST 320,000 stars which is almost 6x sessions (24+ hours) just to build a house one level up earning you 100 more stars.

This is a good game, but there are some things that desperately need to change.

The first thing that needs to change is the difficulty of the levels. I downloaded the game less than 24 hours ago and I’m already past level 100. And level 100 wasn’t even a challenge. It was just one stack of blocks that could only go one way. Next thing is the fact that you earn coins every five levels. Since the levels aren’t even that hard it is like you don’t even need to work hard or strain your brain to earn the coins. It is like they are giving you coins for no reason. Another thing is that StackBlocks3D drains your phone’s battery. When I first played the game I played for about a half hour and my phone drop about 30%. I can be on safari for about an hour and only have my phone drop 10%. The final thing is that there are too many ads. After every one to two levels there is an ad. For every three redos you have an ad. I get that the company is making money through the ads but if they put to many ads it will make people not want to play the game because they have to deal with multiple ads which really downgrades the playing experience.

Please fix these problems because if you do it will make the game way better and will make more people want to continue to play the game.

So - obviously an addictive game. The weird little side game took me a couple of days to figure out what the point was but that’s neither here nor there. I just got to level 401 aaaaand there’s not enough spaces/too many blocks. I’m only a little more irritated than what might be rational because I haven’t had to use any skips but I won’t be able to finish this level 😤 Other than that, my rating is because, fairly often, despite swiping in a particular direction, the tiles will go in a direction of their own choosing, which means I have to restart. If the tiles could be more responsive, the little side game with the houses better explained, and the levels all have accurate tile to space ratios (again, it’s the first time in 400 levels but I’m a little more aggravated by it than I should be) I’d be cool upping my rating.

You have to go through a lot of levels before you get to levels that are actually challenging. There’s no level map so you can’t go back and try different ways of solving one after you got it the first time. The “home” screen where you can use your coins to build things is not explained at all. If there is a goal to that part I haven’t figured it out yet. And there are TOO MANY ADS.

by Missy Minny

Really fun and something new. But..... it takes about 5 seconds to play then an ad between every single puzzle. So, 5 seconds game then 15-30 second ad every time. Very frustrating and makes me not play. I get you need ads to make money, but every time is just way way too much. People would play more and you’d make more money from more customers if you didn’t run them every time.

by GeneGotimer

I’m not sure what the investment is to get to actually challenging puzzles, but the game isn’t interesting enough to hold my attention to get to them.

If there was a way to skip the first 100(?) puzzles or so and get past the tutorial, the game would be a good one.

Another welcome addition would be a setting to turn off the different pointless playing pieces. A simple flat color would make the game better.

I’ve been enjoying this game quite a bit! Solving is satisfying and fun. I just wish, like several games from this creator, that it was possible to access completed levels! I find that part frustrating because this means you can’t share challenging levels with friends/family to see how well they do on levels you already conquered. I would love to see that addressed in an update.

I like the game play. And the look and feel. There is room for improvement. And there are way too many ads. I would consider paying to get rid of the ads, but:

I got to level 486 and it appears to not be solvable. There are 25 blocks but only 23 spaces. Is there a secret trick or is it a bug? That’s annoying. Oh well, it’s a good reason to stop playing and get back to work.

Game can’t seem to find the Internet. You click on it to get double points and it says no Internet. Even when I’m sitting right beside my router. Once it finally find the Internet, it goes to a black screen and dies you have to shut it down and start all over again!

by Old Educator

Love this game but you only get two chances before you have to watch an ad! Irritating that you can have more time to figure out a solution.

by Choclate4life

This is a good game I like that you can get different skins and the levels are fun. I do think that the game would be better if you could move the stack one square at a time instead of having to go all the way to the edge every time. But other than that I think it is a good game.
