Cube Master 3D Reviews

I've been playing this game for awhile, but recently the dev took a fun and relaxing game and turned it into a money grab. There are levels in this game where you're not given enough time to clear them. This has always been the case, but you were given the opportunity to earn extra time and coins by watching ads. So the longest I had ever been stuck on a level was several days while I earned the coins to clear it. Now, I'm all about supporting the devs of games I enjoy, so I paid for no ads amd once for coins. Then about a month ago, the game changed. Literally. The level I was working on went from a barely possible 9 minute cube to an impossible diamond overnight. And, the ability to watch ads for extra time or coins disappeared. You now have to pay real money for extra time and coins. Our once active team has dwindled down to a couple people still playing.
If got want to try this game, go for it. But don't bother putting any money into it unless you intend to keep praying to pay-to-win.

I was excited about this game and really liked it at first, I even got my boyfriend hooked. But for some reason my time clock started going down to the point where I only had maybe 3 minutes to finish any level. My boyfriend never had that issue and on the exact same levels he would get over 20 minutes (usually more!) and mine was at 3+. I ended up removing the game and reinstalling thinking maybe it was a glitch but then it happened again. The only reason I still kept it is because I’m determined somehow to beat this last level despite only having a small amount of time. After that if the issue continues I will remove CubeMaster3D . My boyfriend already took his off. Also, when there is an opportunity to add time the level gets even harder and there’s no way to beat it. And most recently when I try to hit on matching cubes they freeze up and won’t move yet the clock keeps going. Now that I think about it I will be uninstalling. Please fix this! Stupid long review but I feel less irritated now so thanks!

FIRST game I have ever deleted because you can’t begin to win. First let me say I am pretty wealthy and as stupid as it sounds I have spent hundreds on games that I enjoy and feel like I get a fair shake. I have a masters in math and in games like this I’m very quick. I am retired and enjoy a lot of activities, but with a math mind I enjoy a challenge. However, DO NOT DOWNLOAD this game. This is the greediest developer I have ever come across. You cannot finish these levels without spending money. Then for $1.25 you get 1 minute when you need 10?? There isn’t enough time to ever finish. How stupid is a game that you can never finish without paying money? Enjoy whatever money you’ve made developer, but I hope you lose all of your players. I’m sorry I spent the money to get rid of ads. At first I just thought I needed more practice, but going fast you can accidentally touch the wrong square which can end your game with “not enough space”… no warning just done. If that doesn’t happen you can’t finish in the allotted time anyway. I am deleting this game. Bad mistake developer, I would have spent a fair amount of money. But I won’t give you 1 more cent!!!! 🤮Never used that emoji before!

This is a fun game, no doubt about it! You really want to keep playing. I paid to remove ads, paid for goodies packages in order to pass levels and all I can say is the owners of this game are completely greedy ☹️it’s unfortunate. I have deleted the game and will no longer play. I made it level 87 before giving up and decided to hang on to my money.
It’s 1000 coins to continue playing a level, this gives you an additional 60 seconds at a cost of roughly $1.25 per every 60 seconds or you have the option to spend roughly 20 minutes to watch 10 ads that earn you 100 coins per ad.
As you progress through the game the levels get more difficult and the developer of this game starts decreasing the time allowed to pass the level to the point where it is completely impossible unless you have thousands of coins or you want to spend anywhere from 3 to 10$ to pass the level.
I’m fairly disappointed with the excessive greed displayed here and if these folks want to keep customers they should consider making some adjustments. I recommend not even loading this game as it will end in expensive frustration for you.

‘Be sure to rate us after each update’ ok here goes: Level 21 is still three minutes (compared to 10 for earlier levels) and is now interrupted *twice* with 45 second ads. Plus the before/after ads. Pfffft. Next update, please. I’m outa here.

Still buggy. Here we go - three minutes to finish an enormous puzzle at level 21 - bah hahahahaha hahaha Supposedly the bugs were addressed and so I deleted and reloaded. It’s worse than ever! And four advertisements per game is really excessive. I might consider two or three bucks (six is a joke!) to remove ads if I had any faith in their ability to maintain a working product. Such a shame. I like the game just fine. Earlier review: Never should have been released this buggy. The constant resets and annoying mid-game ads (resulting in yet another reset) render it far more aggravating than entertaining. The game itself is fine, but these programmers need a refresher course. This version isn’t even beta worthy.

I started playing this game just because it looked like fun, which it was. I decided to purchase the no ads version. Since I own multiple devices, I went to download it on another device, and I was charged again. Not cool. There has to be a way to restore the purchase. Apple was kind and refunded my money. I went as far as level something or another and got stuck. Not even a fair shot to win the level. Clear one area, expect to move on, and another set of blocks show up with just a minimal amount of time left. I got lucky on that one eventually so got to move on after about a week of it. I went about 10 more levels and got stuck on the same sort of thing, only this time the second area to clear was larger than the first area. I expect games to have a winnable board. This one did not seem at all winnable so I deleted the game from one device to see if I could restore it ON THE SAME DEVICE. No. I’m not even sure that I want to keep it.
So…
1. The ability to restore purchases, especially since it was a $5.99 app.
2. Make your rewards more available. I won’t spend more money on something that I expected when I paid the $5.99.
3. Please make sure that the levels are winnable. Maybe I’m missing something, but right now, I think it’s the worst $5.99 that I’ve ever spent.
Sorry, I usually find more good things than bad, but it was hard on this one.
Maybe someday I’ll give it more stars.

I’m not a “gamer” but I saw this game and it seemed interesting.
This game is SO MUCH fun but the advertisements play in the middle of the game, which would be fine if some of the matches weren’t timed. I’ll be doing well, have just a few seconds left and trying to remain calm and focused because victory is SOOO close and then BOOM an ad will pop up. And it can last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 seconds. I’ve tried tricking the system by closing out CubeMaster3D when the mid-game ad runs and sometimes that way seems quicker but once I return to my game some of my previously cleared tiles will no longer be cleared, so either way it’s an aggravation. You can pay $5.99 for no ads but it doesn’t say for how long that is supposed to last and if you read about it online, some people have paid the $5.99 and still get ads… so I’m not wasting my money.

I’ve been struck on level 53 for a few weeks and between the frustration from never coming close to passing this level and the mid-game ads, I’ve just about had it with this game. So I went online to get some pointers on the game, which I’ve never done before, and I can’t find anything useful. And what are the cards about? Maybe I can’t find anything online because I don’t speak the gamer lingo… but that shouldn’t matter because my son and his buddies aren’t playing Cube Masters, I know.

Pros:

1) This game is addictive and a lot of fun

Cons:
1) Ads every 2 seconds throw off your groove and make you lose time and streaks, especially since some are the “your device has a virus” ads that pop up so fast you don’t see them before you tap them and wind up leaving the game
2) There is no way to spin the stack flat along any axis, so it’s always at weird angles with no way to get it back to flat
3) There are no explanations of what the power-ups are and what they do
4) There are so. Many. Ads, and they get more frequent the more levels you play
5) The power-ups cost 100+ coins, but you only earn 1 or 2 at a time
6) Did I mention the ads? Because this is how often they pop up
7) Some of the little icons are hard to differentiate, which I’m sure is on purpose but annoying as all get-out
8) Oh, and there’s ads at the end of every level, whether you click on the option to watch an ad for a multiplier or not

Conclusion:

It’s a cute, fun, and addictive little game that eventually becomes unplayable due to the sheer number of ads and definitely not $5.99 worth of fun. If it had better explanations of the power-ups and the coins were easier to earn, it would probably be $2.99 worth of fun. The fact that some get ads despite paying to eliminate them makes it $0 worth of fun. I gave it two stars for being fun while it lasted.

I loved this game (until recently). It’s very addictive BUT its impossible to get past level 75. It doesn’t allow enough time on this level but that’s not the biggest problem, it’s when you have 2-3 different cube objects gathered and the 3rd match to EVERY ONE OF THEM disappears from the board completely making it impossible to make any move at all so you’re sitting there watching your time run out and waiting for ANOTHER ad break (which these have become ridiculously long, not to mention having to “X” off several pages before it goes away) then the matches will appear again but your time has ran (almost all the way) out making the clearing of this level impossible….unless you want to spend money and I’m not doing that again since it charges so much and is not worth it. It doesn’t help much. I’ve fought with this level so long that I am currently looking for something else equally fun with to spend my time on.

I downloaded CubeMaster3D because their ads make it look like it was filled with fun games to play. I’ve only found ONE version of gameplay so far. Not thrilled about that mainly because I’m stuck on level 75 so it sure would be nice to switch over to another kind of board like the ones they advertise in their ads.

Let’s talk about ads. Like you can’t play but a smidgeon before another ad pops up. The game seemed appealing enough at the beginning for me to spend the $5.99 for an ad free experience. Except I got bored with being stuck. I’m willing to be a newbie and accept that being stuck isn’t the game’s fault. So I decided to start from the beginning to train my eye better. Except that resetting the game made me lose my non-ads purchase. I reached out to the developer who never answered me. I had to take it to Apple to dispute. They refunded me. I tried again. I’m still stuck at the same place. There are still no other boards to play.

SO… at this point for me, it can be engaging, but not thrilling.

It is a cool game but the ads are a bit much. I don’t mind ads but I hate it in the middle of gameplay, especially when the game is on a timer. I have been stuck on level 21 for a while. It is a big board with less than 3.5 minutes to complete then the ads pop up making it near impossible to win the game. Personally I think they need to limit the ads to the end of each level and then add a few minutes to the games.

Update: now I have been stuck on level 69 for what seems like months. I can’t even get close enough to watch the daily video that earns you an additional 60 seconds to complete the level. This game offers no boosters at all. It would be nice if you can scramble the cube or something. I don’t know, maybe add a few minutes.

And what’s up with that daily video? If you watch it and earn an additional 60 seconds to the game, you cannot watch it again for 24 hours! I mean really?

It feels like even if I could consistently click groups of 3 I wouldn’t be able to clear all the blocks in the allotted time. I’ve been working this level for a few days and don’t know that I’ve ever cleared half the blocks before time ran out. Additional feedback: I’m still working on level 259. Nine minutes simply is not enough time OR there are too many different images/blocks to match. I’ve passed previous levels with about the same size board and had 20-30 min. The “score” (I think that’s the number in the upper, left corner really gives no indication of how close to completion you are at any given point. It would be nice if this was a percentage or points/total points possible. Then, when time runs out, that score should carry forward to the screen prompting you whether or not you’d like to continue. I’ve already bought CubeMaster3D in order to avoid the ads and I have no desire or intention of buying coins or anything else. I am frustrated with this level. Also, why does the game reload when you minimize CubeMaster3D and come back to it? You lose all progress you made and have to start over. Another update: still working on this level. Definitely getting further along but still no where close to completing the level. I refuse to pay anything other than what I paid to go ad free. Disappointed.

I’m on level 235 and I have to agree with everybody as this game is absolutely addictive! And of course the amount of ads are ridiculous, especially when I read that someone, and probably many, paid money not to see Ads. And many come toward the end of the game, when you only have six seconds left or little as 2 and then they play an ad! Problem with that and the worst about it is that you’re losing 2-3 seconds each time an ad plays that has cost me the game. Especially at the very end of the games where you have little time to solve I’ve already lost 10 seconds through out. It’s caused me many games. Many times they play an ad when there’s only three seconds left in the game. And you’re absolutely right you get into the groove of the game and it does screw you up. Royally!
My main issue is I have a tendency to always select 2 that match then another 2 and the The third is not available, looking after a solid minute sometimes, and once I hit another block, it finally scrambles, it’s just waiting for that point but when you lose a minute in this game that’s way too much,But the game already knows that and they’re not assisting you in anyway. And sometimes it does not scramble blocks and and I have to wait it out until the seconds are gone, if there is ? Block, I have no choice but to hit one but you know that’s no guarantee set a time as far as I’m concerned that shouldn’t matter but the computer seems to think it does, I guess, usually ends a game loss.

This game keeps getting hung up while playing ads. The ads stop and do not progress, do not give you the option of closing them out, even after several minutes, and there is no way to get back to the game. Even if I close out of the game and come back a few minutes later, the ad is still in the same place it was when it got stuck. This has happened multiple times. I tried contacting the developer directly but the contact sheet was only for those who want to publish a game through them and did not allow you to report a problem. Other times, you can elect to play an ad in order to get an extra help for the game, but if the ads are “not available,” there is no way to obtain the help. If they can’t make the ads run when you’re seeking help, they should give you the help for free rather than forcing you to lose coins playing a particularly difficult difficult level with a ridiculously short time limit, without help. It feels like a scam to get you to pay more money to the game in order to continue playing.

The game is so much fun BUT the amount of ads is beyond anything I’ve ever seen on any game. It is to the point that on one game you will get two matches then be forced to watch a really long ad🙄😡🤬. I’ve played a lot of games and have never ever for any other game had soooooooo many ads. The higher up you go the more and more ads you have to watch. It’s like you’re being punished for succeeding in the game. I left a review before about the ads and this is when I first started the game and I had complained then about how many ads….. that’s nothing compared to a higher level. Someone sent me an email over my review and just basically stating that they were sorry but it’s part of the game unfortunately you know they have to have ads. I have a few apps that have zero ads so I’m wondering why this game has so many ads and why others don’t. Everyone is always out to make a dime. Review from someone that said they paid the five dollars so that they didn’t have to deal with ads but the higher up you go they’re still dealing with ads which if you asked me they need to refund that person‘s money always out to make a buck!!!

I really enjoy this game. So it’s an absolute shame (and a really scammy tactic) that even after paying $5+ to remove ads, you will still be forced to view them as the game goes up in difficulty. As you get further, the levels get so much harder that it’s impossible to beat the clock. If you can’t beat the clock, you start that level over, but you only have so many chances to do that. Since the time limit is so short, you will inevitably use all your “lives” and then will have to either buy time, or watch ads to buy time to continue your level. Really, the object of the game is to force you to pay more. I don’t know about you guys but when I pay $5 for a supposed “ad-free” game on my iphone, I expect to actually be able to play that game, and not see any ads. As it is, you may get two days of enjoyment before the levels become so tough to beat, you’ll still have to watch ads, or dish out more money if you want to continue enjoying the game. There does seem to be a way to start over at the lower levels and just play to feel zen, or zone out. There is no “enjoyment” mode where you take your time to complete a puzzle. Total waste of money.

I love playing this game and can play for long periods of time before all my heart life runs out. One thing I get really irritated about is the endless ads that pop up when u just start getting into the rhythm of finding all the tile match then BAM! an ad pops up! When that happens it dampens my momentum and makes me lose my strategy of what I’m gonna do bcuz I lost where my next play was gonna be. Please cut down on the ads. There is too many that pop up during the game session. I had one game where I had 5 ads pop up and bcuz of that I lost so much momentum that it took me nearly 2 weeks to get off one level bcuz of the over abundance of ads that popped up. I kept losing bcuz I think my timer doesn’t stop. I think it keeps going when the ads pop up out of nowhere.

Cut down on the ad pop ups then I may play more often instead of being frustrated that I lost due to the ad pop ups and momentum being drained and lost. When I get to a certain point it takes me nearly two weeks to get pass that level. My momentum wanes and fades but my anger starts to creep in bcuz of the multitude of ads being played during the game and timer not stopping or is stopped but my momentum and excitement got lost.

It would be five stars if it weren’t for that (at level 43 is when I began to experience what I read in the reviews before install). The reviews about the ads freezing or where you cannot continue. . . . if quickly click through the ads then it stops and will not allow you to continue however, if you stop and pause a second or two between when it asks you to install and the translucent words to the ABOVE “Get” change once to another phrase THEN click done the X to close the next window shows on the next screen in the upper right corner and you continue your game with less time.

The creators are trying to force you to buy the game by upsetting you when you play free; or in my case attempting to upset me. In my real life, there are MANY individuals doing A LOT MORE and have tried A LOT harder 24/7 for YEARS; this mind game relaxes me in comparison. Don’t know what it’s like if you pay for it; but if the ads are completely gone when you pay then it’s a FIVE STAR game.

I really enjoyed this game. I would play every night to unwind before bed. I was a little nervous about paying the $5 for the ad free version, considering all the false advertising in games like this recently, but I took the risk and was actually really happy with it. I had no ads, I never had an issue with the timer. I think there may have been a couple of levels I had to do over due to running out of time but that’s it. I found it a fun and relaxing game. Fast forward to level 275 and all of a sudden the timer has gone from anywhere between 10-20 min per level to less than 3 min. Even watching the videos or buying extra time is a joke because you only get 60 seconds. It’s a shame companies can’t make money the old fashioned way anymore. By creating a quality product that people will buy. The saddest part is, they have one but they seem to be making a conscious decision to irritate people into leaving and deleting their game instead of encouraging them to purchase it. Guess they have never heard the phrase you catch more flies with honey. I don’t recommend even downloading. You’ll just find a game you really love but can’t stand to play.

I'm on level 89. It's an impossibly tall, solid cube with a rather short timer. The excessive greed of the developers is all over this game. I've paid once for some coins to see if the impossible level was a rare occurrence. However another impossible level was just two levels away. (1) Why can't we see how many coins we have? It's because they want you to be desperate -and unsure. (2) Why is there only one ad per day that gives an extra 60 secs? Because they want you to buy them. (3) Why is it 1000 coins for only 60 additional secs? Because they want you to spend a lot of money. (4) Why is this the only game I've ever downloaded that --doesn't-- ask for a review? Because the developers know perfectly well what we are going to say. And it isn't so good. For my level 89, I will have to go in and lose and then watch 10 long ads for 1000 coins each day, for SIX days. I've calculated that I'll need an additional 6 minutes for it. That's right, wait six days to clear one level doing nothing but watching ads. That. Is. Not. Fun.

I played this game every night before going to bed, it was fun and I always seemed to have enough time playing each level, which made it fun also, fast forward to game 200 and something and all of the sudden, I no longer had enough time to complete one game making it impossible to move onto the next level. Less than 3 minutes is even close to enough time to play a level. I emailed the company to see if there was a problem and they never responded, I also told them that I had spent money on what I thought was more time, but I never even got more time, complete waist of money. The people who own this game are crooks and don’t have any compassion whatsoever for the people that actually wanted to keep playing, but cannot any longer do to their greed for you to spend money and get nothing in return other than the one extra minute that you would get even if you did not spend money.

I highly recommend that you do not download this game. Do not give them a dime of your money.

This game is a money maker. Make no mistake about it. If you think you can play with ads, think again. You will find yourself paying to get rid of the ads because they will otherwise interrupt your game and destroy your concentration and momentum. You will play a few easy rounds, then get to an impossible one, and I do mean impossible. Don’t think you won’t spend months trying to pass a level and then get fed up and pay your way out. Then there is the problem at the sudden, abrupt end of the round when you may accidentally click on round extension booster without any second chance/are you sure prompts and before you know it you have wasted all your boosts. Also annoying is that as soon as the round ends you cannot see your score. It’s gone. These are the many things that need fixing. One ore thing…why isn’t there a way to win some boosters depending on your score even if you don’t pass the level? You can only earn boosters once a week or every other week, I’m not sure. That’s no fun.

So i’ve been playing for a while - I usually play on airplane mode to avoid ads (inconvenient for when people want to text me but it’s addictive so it’s worth it). I haven’t give the game any money cuz I didn’t want to, but now when I open the game (off and on airplane mode) it says the next game is level 360 and it says hard but when I click to play I only see one block (the umbrella hat one) and no timer, no items to help, no way to go back to the home screen. I click all around and nothing happens and when I quit the game and open it again the same thing happens. It’s been like this for over a week - can I no longer play? If I can only play with the ad-free mode I would’ve liked to have known that. So I guess I’m done playing if I can’t play for free. Fun while it lasted, really tested my speed and if I should use a free item I got. Would play multiple times a day for weeks so I’m bummed.

I’ve been trying to do this for a while. I don’t usually do reviews on games because my time is valuable, but I feel like I need to warn people interested in this game. After the first few levels you will eventually reach levels that are truly impossible to beat without extra time or add ons that are very expensive and not easy to earn. Then, let’s say you pay for some extra time and you wait until you think you are close to making the level on your own before using the boost you paid for and you are definitely not doing well so ready to start over, and as time runs out on the level you don’t want to use your extra time on, you are typing on a match quickly and hit the extra time button you didn’t want to use because it’s in a spot hard to avoid if you are going quickly and waste your money. Disappointing that they don’t have an are you sure you want to do this option if they are putting the button there. If this happens one more time, I’m deleting CubeMaster3D . Too expensive

Im on level 712 and Im deleting * updated-review. Everything I said in my original review is still true. This game is super fun and additive. But as I go on I see thei ways they’ve designed it to entice you to spend money. It’s frustrating that they will give you 3 minutes to complete a level that is impossible to finish in that amount of time. Then on levels that are very easily completed in 2 mins they give you 6 mins. Its absolutely ridiculous. I get their purpose for making these games is to make money and I don’t mind spending money on games I enjoy but I’ve prob spent over 500 on this one and now that I realize this I'm done. ( original review ) This game is so much fun. I actually deleted it and downloaded it again just to start over. The only down side to it that i can tell so far is I start playing just for a few minutes and next thing I know Ive been up all night.

There is a lot of potential for this game. They do need to make some improvements though. For example, make the particular level you’re on match with the amount of time that they give you. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Some levels I have 3 to 5 minutes left after I clear the board. Other levels, it’s impossible to beat without an added time extension. They also need to stop putting the revive banner across the bottom where it blocks your ability to see what mistake you made when it says you are “out of space”. Lastly, there’s a pop-up at the very end that I have lost valuable coinage to. If someone is rushing to finish in the last seconds they’ll accidentally hit that. Overall it’s fun, but these things make a huge difference in this game

I enjoy playing this game. I appreciate that some levels are easier than others and it seems to be a good mix. My biggest complaint is in the “time extension” button. It is placed directly in the middle of he screen and on multiple occasions I’ve been rushing to make matches as this pops up and accidentally hit the button using all my coins when I didn’t mean to. I would love for the button to either be moved to the top of the page where you wouldn’t be clicking or come with an “are you sure” prior to the purchase. Just really irritating to use coins to extend a game I had no chance in winning and then have none left for the next round when I stood a chance.

This game is really fun and addicting, but doesn’t ever give puzzles like a lot of what is shown in the ad pics. I have been playing every day for awhile and have never seen the cylinder style, the animal shapes, or the solid color scrabble-tile looking style.

My biggest frustration is where the continue button pops up when I accidentally put too many tiles in and lose the game, if I’m clicking fast (which is a part of the game since it’s timed) and that pops up suddenly, it uses my game money to continue when I had no intention. It is annoying enough that it’s money I’ve earned by playing the game but honestly it is preventing me from ever purchasing anything for the game with my own money. I’m sure it’s somewhat intentional to get people to use up their game money, but if you want more people to spend their actual money for game money, consider moving that button or adding a confirm. I’d be dropping money no problem.

The first thin I noticed was control was very smooth and tap block was precise in gameplay. The first thing wrong or guggish was not being able to try multiplayer mode it told me I had no internet connection. Seeing this I checked and I had internet connection. The most down fall with your game was the ads playing in the middle of the level causing me to lose my momentum as well as I can see if it was the upper levels I would probably loss my combination counter. The game is fun the controls are awesome but the ads in the middle of how would it be said finger to eye concentration got frustrating at the very least. One more thing the music was not so much as casual but more like a lullaby it almost felt like it made the game slower or something. I hope my review helps the developers and the players alike.

This cube master allows a player to actually enjoy the player. Here’s why: All the other cube games are riddled with ads bcuz Smack in the middle of-playing the other games cut out for a ad. Aggravating to say the least. Think of it, you get home from a hard days work and all you want is 15 minutes of no interference, only on this cube game you’ll be able to achieve down time to relax. However, on this the other cube games fail miserably. Look, I realize every person needs to earn money including game makers and ads are important, ads between games or paying for ad-free, but 2-3 times during a game is not playing a game. I could go on but you get it. So thank you Cube Master for offering and maintaining good customer service and enjoyment.

This game is exactly what you expect when you download it. Honestly there are not all that many ads, definitely a a huge plus! That being said I do wish that there could be more of a variety in the ads that do play (this is not just targeted towards CubeMaster3D in particular!) I’d be a lot more willing to keep playing a game and enduring the bulk of ads if I didn’t have to watch the same 1 or 2 for days sometimes weeks on end… that is just my two cents on that matter though! This game totally can become addicting almost frustratingly so because sometimes I’ll start playing with the intention of 1 or 2 rounds which turns into 1 to 2 hours lol but it’s great thank you for the distraction as well as the fun entertainment I so appreciate!!
