The amount of ads and intrusiveness of the ads is the worst I’ve ever seen on a game and that’s really saying something. I paid for the ad-free version which was a total waste of money because they still show certain types of ads CONSTANTLY. There are also annoying ad pop ups on the playing board during the game itself which cover the game tiles so that you sometimes can’t avoid clicking them if you want to complete the level. Then the ads themselves are all incredibly long, with many screens, which often aren’t responsive, that you have to click through to get back to the game. I overlooked all of this because I loved the game itself so much and found it so soothing. But the final straw? As of the most recent update, the rewards that you used to get for completing levels along the way now REQUIRE you to watch an ad or else get zero reward. For me the game is essentially not playable without those rewards unless I want to stay on one level for days. I’m not even opposed to the idea of buying packs of hints, revives, etc but even those are insanely overpriced. Anyway, I’ve had it with this and will look for another less annoying tile game.

I would give it no stars if I could. When I played the free version I was constantly harassed by ads. I decided I liked the art enough to buy the ad free version. Unfortunately that meant nothing at all. It used to have no ads, but since I have paid the outrageous price of $8 for the ad free option they have simply added ads back in. What was the point of paying for ads free at such a ridiculous cost then? Pop ups you click to get “prizes” that force you to watch an ad display every five seconds in the way of tapping the mahjong tiles so you accidentally click them and can not cancel the ad. Not to mention you get prizes (hints, etc.) at the end of every level for free which you can double the quantity of if you watch an ad which they have changed so the only way to get any prize at all is to watch an ad. On top of this you can not zoom in to click on tiles and the game is so small on some puzzles it is NOT mobile friendly. And they never update levels. They change the “theme” once in a blue moon, but hardly ever add more puzzles. If I am PAYING for this game this is an absolute rip off. I want a refund.

In addition to there being TWO ads between each level, the game is designed so that sometimes the ONLY way to get 3 tiles in a row is to fill up your line/bar with other miscellaneous tiles. This forces you to have to request your bar be extended or a “revive” to get those miscellaneous tiles removed. And you guessed it... both of these options require you to watch more ads!!!!!! So 2 ads between levels and then levels designed to force you to watch ads DURING PLAY too!!! I understand the need for ads but this is not just a case of waaaaay too many ads. This is down right insulting to the player. Because the ads you watch to expand your bar or undo something or “revive” you, they feel like a punishment. They make you feel like you’re bad at playing the game somehow when you @$$hats purposely designed the game so that the ONLY way to clear some of these levels is by watching extra “punishment” ads. This is one of the most psychologically manipulative freemium games I’ve seen to date. Just awful.
