Tap Out Blocks：3D Block Puzzle Reviews

by Ridiculoussssssssssss

So many I cannot list them, not enough time. One of the biggest is when you get the block with the bomb or coin sometimes it lets you watch an ad to get x3 other times it won’t let you do that but after you claim the prize you have to watch an ad. Unfair! Another major issue is ads popping up mid game.
The number of ads surpasses any other game. Basically this is one giant ad. Game is also extremely glitchy.

It started out a fun game that looked very promising. The challenges kept progressing in difficulty, and gameplay was very smooth. And I appreciated that every puzzle had a solution, without me having to earn a power or cheat.
But finally, I realized I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. It got very tedious. They started to throw up these roadblocks, which required me to watch an ad before it would clear. And the ads get more and more extensive, and requiring me to click through multiple screens to get back to the game.
Then between levels, of course, they require me to endure more ads. And they aren’t the kind of ads that you can just let run, and go have a sandwich while you are waiting. You have to click on things to get through them.
So I put it away and came back today to try it again. But after enduring over two minutes of clicking and trying to get through ads to get to the game, I just gave up.
I just want to spend some pleasant time and play the game. I don’t want to earn any power ups, I don’t want any magic coins, I don’t want any badges. I just want to play the game.
Doesn’t anybody just build a game anymore?
This one is just too tedious.
I’m uninstalling it.
Do yourself a favor and don’t try this game.

I really love this game but can not give it better than 1 star.
Reason: The ads, once you come to a blockade & need a coin to alter some of the arrow directions you get an ad. Once you reach this point you may remove up to 5 tiles until another blockade appears.
Royal Match takes 5 minutes of looping through all their offers to Finally get rid of it. Reporting it is useless. I find the ad demeaning to women. Note the hand with the ruffle cuff & bracelet & how many times it chooses poor tiles until it forms a blockade. The watch the gloved man hand rarely seen but always wins.
Draft Kings: a 3 minute ordeal which is also on a loop of 3…so 6 minutes of ads. You cannot get rid of it by reporting either.
There are 3 others that also loop.
Finally the Pay For Cash ads. In order to get rid of these on my new iPhone I must do a hard shut down.
I really like this game, the design, I love 3 dimensional puzzles, but after this post I am deleting the game & making a not of the creators company so I Never make this mistake again.

I like this game and was almost to level 400 when the game stopped working all together. It is stuck on something called “Tutorial 5”. Yes I did the recent update and nothing on the advertisements when you download TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle looks like what is in the game. I would attach a picture if I could. I tried redownloading it and now I have lost al my progress.

As for the ads, your customers are right. There are too many of them and there should be a paid way to get rid of them. If this solution does not happen soon you may lose more customers. There are other similar games out there.

The game concept is good, and if it wasn’t riddled with ads, I could get addicted to it. But, even thought you are given a more than adequate amount of moves to solve the puzzle, ever few seconds that you play, the game throws in another “money cube”. These cube are always blocking strategic moves so you have to tap on them to continue, and tapping on them generates a commercial. You are then given a choice between collecting “money” or not. If you choose “No Thanks” you have to watch a commercial you can kill after about 30 seconds. If you choose the money, you have to watch a full length commercial (and they are not short), and then you are awarded “money” that there is no way to spend in the game.
It’s to bad they ruined what could have been a fun game. But I timed it, and I am forced to spend more time watching commercials then playing the game. I have deleted this game. It isn’t worth it.

by Crazy Criss Supreme

If you're trying to waste your time. This is a perfect way to frustrate yourself while doing it. Honestly though I guess I should have known because as soon as you open the game, they want you to purchase no ads and when you decline to get rid of the ads with the purchase, then you find out after you have cleared a level you have to watch a commercial, you can't clear out your open pages and then re-open the game and I go back to it to avoid the commercial because it will make you start the level over! Nobody's forcing me to watch junk mail commercials, but if you like being forced to do things that are completely useless by all means this is the game for you like I said, in the beginning, this game is complete trash and a waste of time, and it has been deleted as it should!!!!!!! oh, and PS, anybody with an IQ higher than 60 is going to get really really bored from this game after about two minutes!

by KimS910

You can tell it’s an annoying feature when players dread seeing a “bonus” block pop up because that will be an unavoidable interruption of game play as you HAVE TO select the cube to progress, you HAVE TO claim the prize (and what those coins are really good for? No idea.) and then it shunts you into an ad. I’m about ready to delete TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle because what I go to for a quick relaxing diversion just ends up aggravating me. I also don’t like how the settings are hard to find. These features are disappointing.

by ☺️😉😗

TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle is very fun to play… but those random bomb and coin things appear very less and sometimes it will appear a lot and when ever I claim it it leads me too an add and since level 5 I keep on getting adds every time I complete a stage or in the middle I keep on getting and add in the middle of the stage 3 times and when done with the stage an add also something I really HATE is the add pops up whenever I use the bomb or collect it. At first I thought I was pressing something wrong like I was pressing the 5x money button but it’ll come late then after some stages I started touching it very carefully and making sure that I wasn’t pressing the 5x button thingy but still I got FOUR adds maybe a few ppl can’t relate to me but it’s ok ~~

by I Am CheriF

“DO NOT PLAY” THIS GAME “IF YOU DO NOT” WANT TO SPEND YOUR LIFE WATCHING GAME VIDEOS! IR IS LOADED WITH THEM!!!!!
I am tried of being forced to watch a damned video for a game in order to finish the game & it usually is not 1 video it is 4 or 5 of them in one game of blocks! Most of the time I have seen the video a million times & do not want the game! Because I have tried the game & it gas a million game videos! It is such interference where you do not want to play your game any longer. A video before or after your game levels would be okay. You’d get people to purchase tokens to advance & have more patrons if you were to get rid of the videos.
Most people who play games are retired & they are on fixed incomes and we are not fich! Yet if you pffered a person to purchase game tokens or something that would be great. You’d earn the money you need. But not like this!

by Lyippiaje

It would be a nice game if it would go past level 121.
Tried to pass this level dozens of times but TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle keeps crashing. Sometimes at the beginning, sometimes halfway thru the level but the most annoying is when I only have a handful of blocks remaining and TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle quits! Arrrrrgh :(
Downloaded the recent app update, other than different color for the blocks, nothing changed. At level 121 it quits…
Tried updating the iOS, doesnt help.
Very sad

by SallySpacecraft

It’s a really enjoyable game except for stopping every few moves and getting ads. Even being able to skip the ad partway through, it’s still super annoying. I dread one of the prize boxes popping up because you have to clear it, which means you get an ad even if you don’t claim the prize (claiming the prize would make you watch the full ad). There are way too many ads for there not to be an option to remove them.

by KTarra

I really like the game. However, I’m going to delete it as it’s absolutely ridiculous to have an ad after EVERY SINGLE level. I’d understand after every five levels but at this rate I spend more time watching ads than I do actually playing the game. I didn’t find an option to purchase an ad free version. I’d be interested in a one time purchase for ad free. But as of right now this has too many ads. I don’t play games to watch ads. I’m out.

by Patsy3333

This is a fun game, but it has too many ads within each game, and often, near the end of a game, after an ad, the screen goes black, and then the next screen goes back to the unplayed game. This has happened numerous times. I could (barely) tolerate the numerous ads, but having to start a game again when it’s almost complete is extremely frustrating.

by Mxef

Game play is completely ruined by so many adds. You get to watch adds not only for bonuses coins and bombs but mid play too. They just keep popping up and after a few minutes I’m done. Yes, you can play for free if you plan to spend more time with adds than at the actual level.
Just another good game gone south because of so much adds.

by WMBTBY

Can’t complete a lvl without watching at least one ad. VERY annoying. I don’t mind watching an ad to get a benefit that I want but at lvl 5???? Don’t really need a benefit. The problem is that the bonus blocks are blocking the ones you need to remove. I would to have ads removed but we are not given that option. Only download if you like ads. As for me - I deleted it.

by Nope46485

This game is infuriatingly packed with ads. If you take too long to finish a puzzle then a special bomb block appears that requires you to watch an ad. There is NO WAY to skip it. I once cleared all the blocks but three bomb blocks and I would have had to watch three adds just to complete the level. DELETE. Save yourself the frustration and find another game.

by Glroush

Oh my god, it has gotten out of hand! I have truly never seen a developer throw an ad in the middle of gameplay. I tried to find an option to pay for no ads - no luck. I tried to contact the developer through the Apple system - nothing developed from there. I’m at a loss, I either delete the game or pay for no advertisements. The problem is, as best as I can tell, there’s no option to pay for no ads.

I’m going to wait until next week to see if they’ve tried to contact me. We’ll see…

by _urban_maverick

I really enjoy wasting away large chunks of my time playing this slickly developed game, Tap Away Cubes or Tap Out Blocks, but at level 909 the crazy amount of ads has become extremely, worthy of deleting TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle from my phone, tiresome!!
Curiously, which of the two names is it?
Another thing I find extremely annoying is that when I first started playing this game you could earn bombs while playing each level and y’all took that away and started allowing us to earn a couple after logging into the game for three straight days and now y’all have removed our ability to gain a few bombs that way also. Why??
The next issue I have is that the coin boxes we have to clear out on each level used to be easily seen, without expanding the screen, solid gold boxes but now they have been changed to barely visible boxes with a rotating coin. Why??
Thank y’all for this cool game and I’d appreciate any assistance y’all can provide me with these in game issues.

by Leap To The Future

I loved this game and was totally hooked on it till the adds have taken over the game. I also get a pause for; adds loading? Really? This goes on for minutes not just for seconds and there are adds which keep going on and on for minutes. I never played a game where I had to wait for adds to be loading. Please, fix these issues. I don’t mind few adds but this is an overload and I’m considering of deleting this game.
Also, instead of me to continue playing a game the game will go back to the start. This is very frustrating and not relaxing as it is supposed to be. At this point I can’t recommend this to anyone.

by Literatekate

Update: I deleted the game. Spent more time on ads than playing. I liked this game more than many I have tried. The inserting of coin blocks into the game, adding more ads, is particularly annoying. I don’t need more coins. I have 225k w/out using the bombs very often. So the coins are not a motivator to sit through ads. Wish developers would find away to make their revenue w/out irritating pkayers

I get that ads are part of playing free games. But this games forces ads into the middle of play by requiring you to watch a video to get rid of « coin » cubes. Very annoying.

by Knhw

The game itself is fun and addictive, but every time you hit a coin an ad appears. Though it lasts only seconds it happens at least once I the short games and many times in the longer ones. An when you have no more moves, first the short ad appears and the a 30 second one. The games also gives points which disappear at the end of each game! And the 10 extra moves is NOT always 10. Like it can’t count! And sometimes you can’t get back to the game because the ads get stuck. I think you spend as much time with ads as with the game. The creator needs to fix the glitches!

by B0nnie

I could play this game for hours! I loved it until a few days ago, you have to watch an ad even if you chose not to. What I mean, during game play, a “clear coin box” appears, in the past you could click on it and it would give you the option to choose to watch a video for a higher coin amount or you could just collect your standard prize and move on. NOW you have to watch an advertisement no matter what option you choose….but I know you are saying just leave the clear coin box alone, you can’t!! You have to take it to finish the puzzle… and if you save them to the end you may have several left and each one will make you watch another dang ad.. I cannot seem to find to option to buy a ad free version, I hope I just am overlooking it. So for now, this is a 2 star game because of the stupid ads.

by Reginald McTinkletonson

Way too many forced adds. Adds between levels, multiple in the level inside power-ups that the game makes you click on to finish a level. The game itself isn’t bad. Sort of boring after a few minutes, but could also see myself tossing blocks off in endless mode for lack of something better to do. Doesn’t matter how fun it is when there 2-5 adds every level.

by Qazxcdwwed

The idea of the puzzle is fun, but the fact that you have to watch adds to clear blocks that have turned into bonuses is stupid. You end up watching so many adds, and you lose your place on the block which is very frustrating. I would rather there be one add at the end of the puzzle, or an option to turn the bonus blocks off if you don’t care to get the bonuses.

by Csrpnt

I haven’t played in weeks because TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle doesn’t load. There have been reports from users for weeks, but no fix yet.

When it did work, though, the boards were fun and creative. I’ve completed all of the story puzzles and look forward to the jumbo puzzles every five or so. Not just boring squares or columns like other tap games, but household objects, animals, and buildings made of blocks make for engaging variety in this no-stress game.

Yes, the number of ads is completely ridiculous. But, turn off your wifi and you’re golden. There are only 44 rewards (skins and a few backgrounds) and then anything else is coins. I’ve never needed a bomb to solve a puzzle, and there’s nothing else you need coins for. I’ve got 150k coins stockpiled with no effort at all, so there’s no need to try for the multipliers.

Now if only they’d update the game so it opens to something playable and not a frozen Tutorial 5 page!

by Faeriechaser

I really enjoyed this game but had to delete TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle because there were WAY too many ads. You can’t even get through one puzzle without having several coin cubes pop up in the puzzle. You have to click the cubes, and each one takes you to an ad. These aren’t even short ads! You end up watching 3-4 ads PER PUZZLE. It’s ridiculous! Then, of course there’s an ad after every game! I just can’t anymore and it’s a shame because like I said, I really did enjoy playing the game - when I was actually PLAYING the game…

by MyOneBelle

There are way too many ads! I get that you need to have ads in order to make money, and or support your business. However, there comes a point when it becomes ridiculous, and redundant! I would have given you 5 stars if not for the incessant ads! I’m sorry, but I had rather play solitaire than watch these ads. I’m an adult who does not need to be inundated with silliness while I’m trying to solve “puzzles.” All I want to do is get back to the issue at hand-solving the game. Please know that I will no longer support this game until the ads are removed or at least lessened. I’m sure that you don’t care about one person leaving your platform, but I hope that you listen, because there’s a lot more people who support my line of thinking!
Sincerely,
Not interested in ads

by Ankhara

Game is nice but to many ads. You will be removing blocks at a nice clip and the clear block will pop in with a reward inside that will prevent you from winning that round unless you click it. Upon clicking you get the option of multiplying the quantity of the reward by watching an ad or clicking claim. Even though you click claim instead of watch ad it still pops up an ad so that you can watch some guy burn to death, drown or get melted by acid. It doesn’t matter if he is a cartoon it’s the concept behind it. Can’t quickly end ad so forced to watch guy die, or close game. If I close the game and reopen it, it takes me back to block in my way and same ad when I click it. Why would I want to play or watch something so horrific.

by Alexis19383

I saw ads for this game a while back and finally decided to try it. The ads made it look so fun and I thought the idea of the game testing your IQ would be really cool. I downloaded it, and I didn’t even get through three levels before I encountered my first one minute, unskippabe ad. It was really annoying, and when I got back to the game, it happened again!

The ads are also lying. They advertise the game as something to “test you IQ” That is not at all true. There is not a single thing on TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle to do with IQ.

Overall a good game, but the ads are overwhelming and fake.

by Kikitester

I would love to give you five stars but the number and length of the ads is terrible. Sometimes the same ad replays two or three times on one turn. Sometimes the ad locks and you are stuck. You can get rid of a crystal block, get a 45 second ad that finishes your turn and get another ad right behind it. I understand this is a “free” game paid for by ads, but I can put up with 15 or 20 seconds, not a minute or more.. The ads are repetitive to the max. I will never download any games or buy cars or tools or whatever that exasperate me, so what is the purpose? Too bad, because the game itself is intriguing.

by Kapgar

I enjoy the heck out of this game. Just easy, mindless fun. Until… the ads. This morning, for example, I fired up TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle and had to sit through three rounds of ads before I could play a single round. After that round, I sat through two more ads. And they range anywhere from 5 seconds to just over a minute. I spend more time sitting thru ads than I do playing the actual game. This minute-long ads cannot be clicked out of to shutdown either. Even if I forcibly shutdown TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle and relaunch it, it remembers the ad and still makes you watch it. And there is no pay version of TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle either. I’d gladly pay a one-time fee to free myself of the ads if there was a means by which to do it. C’mon, devs, hook us up!

Also, what’s the point of collecting coins? They earn you nothing and just force you to watch more ads. I have 71K coins right now and nowhere to spend them.

by Romantic2

I love this game and can play it for hours. However, when I got to a certain level where I was almost always able to clear all of the blocks, it’d start an ad. When the ad finished after 15 to 30 seconds, it’d bring up a TapOut screen that says that you have no more moves. The only way you can get out of that screen is to click on ‘+ 10 moves’ but then it goes to another ad or 2 and sometimes back to the TapOut screen again, then more ads. It’s so annoying!!! I ended up hardly playing the game at all and watching ad after ad. There’s no provision to play ad free. I got so angry that I didn’t play for a couple days. Tonight I tried playing again and the same thing is happening. I decided to write a review. There’s a new update which I just downloaded. If it doesn’t improve on the above, I’ll delete ap. They get you hooked then frustrated. No thanks. Games are supposed to be fun and not have near constant ads.

by Miss Opinionated 4567

This game is very fun! It’s challenging and creative and passes the time quickly. However…the adds are overwhelming! They last over 30 seconds at times. Some you actually need to close out of several times to get back into the game. They are repetitive. Sometimes you get the same add 3 or more times in a row. I feel that the adds should be limited to 15 or 20 seconds. If you can’t get your point across in that amount of time you are wasting not only your time but mine.

by Spidey329

The game itself isn’t bad. The gameplay graphics are simplistic, but it is just a “slide cubes out of the way” game.

There seems to be a separate story mode, but after a day or two of playing it’s hard to tell, because…

Every time you beat a board, there’s a prize randomizer.
Want to get the increased reward? Watch an ad.
Want to get the basic reward? Watch an ad
Oh, but you don’t have to watch ALL of the ad…
Want to finish the board? Gotta collect those prize cubes that are sitting in the way. And when you do? Watch an ad!
So far in the past 2 days since I got TapOutBlocks3DBlockPuzzle , I’ve watched more ads for a different free game without ads, than I have playing this ad-laden game.
(Royal Match…. Every… Stinking… Ad…)

It seriously is 1 to 2 minutes of ads for every five minutes of gameplay…

Sorry… As much as I like puzzle games, I’ll be deleting this one.

by Kjburchard

Why are you asking my age for ads? I definitely don’t want x rated ads nor ads for 8 year olds, so when I get that question, I just quit playing. Plus, unless I am off internet, the mini ads when I HAVE to click on a coin or bomb to finish a game are annoying the way I have to wait before I can close them.

by Jseidel5263

Rotation isn’t as smooth as some other “tap” games. Seems to glitch when I’ve been playing for a while. Game lags and then ads fail to load (oh boo hoo! 🤣). Audio from ad sometimes overlaps game play. It’s not 5 star but better than several other similar games I’ve tried.

by L37N

Only reason i gave this 4 stars was because of the constant ads on story mode. If there was a way to take off the ads, even if i had to purchase the game but i would hope the challenge of the game would be the same.

by Ladybird Na

Easy game, but the ads are unbelievably incessant. Game play can be blocked by 3 or 4 coins at one time. You cannot continue without collecting these coin blockers. That means you have to watch 3 or 4 thirty second to a minute ads. Most games you can skip most of the ads…but not this game. I..ad..don’t like…ad..playing..ad..games…like..ad..this..ad. If you think this review…ad..is obnoxious..ad..try playing this game! Ad ad ad ad..lol..ad. PS I just read another review that said turn off Wi-Fi and that helps with the ads. I’ll give that a try. Ad ad ad (almost feels like Mars Attacks ack ack ack ack ack …lol UPDATE: Turn off Wi-Fi and…no ads. Thank you reviewer for this suggestion.

by KrisCe

Sure you have to watch numerous ads but it is a free game after all. I just wish once you of collected all the different themes you could do something with the coins that you keep collecting after every round.

by Misegk

But I have to add you have far too many ads. After every time I hit a bomb every time I hit the money every time there’s so many ads it’s bus trading and I love this game is south, so it just is calming for me but the ads are frustrating. It’s all the time I’m not making any money on this game you know I couldn’t stand if I was making money you gotta do something about the ads.

by Lovable Game Play

First of all, super fun game. But also some things that could be improved. For instance it would be cool if there were items you could buy with your coins. And every time I pass a level there’s like three ads before the next level. THATS WAY TOO MANY ADS. I love how there are small levels then big ones. I would also like if there were more backgrounds. It would be cool if there were less ads. If those things could be improved, then it would make the game much better. If you don’t fix those things then I will delete this game. Overall it’s a good game.

by Kasey_flutter

This game is awesome! Some levels are easier than others, but there’s a great mix of both. The various block set’s you can get by completing levels are fun. The bombs are great way to-get unstuck. Being able to move the blocks/pattern is amazing.
However there are way to many adds!! An overwhelming amount. I get having adds for getting large numbers of coins. But not for completing a level or getting only 50 coins. The adds haven’t even been working lately.

by Delwarth

I really need to get rid of some of these ads!!! The Microsoft ad freezes my game every time it comes on. And I have to reboot my phone constantly. Now adds are starting in the middle of play which is very annoying. When I do get to play, I find it a lot of fun! If there is a way to stop ads, I will pay for it! What are the coins used for? Just buying 3 little bombs?I read one person talking about instructions, but I haven’t found any, how do you find them?

by Gary Roseng

This has become my favorite game especially when using my Samsung a52. When the commercial started I could hit my home button then click on the game and get right back in. So so nice. I was plowing through the levels waiting for new one to be created. Was replaying old levels. I know you guys need them to make money. I have switched to iPhone 15 and the trick no longer works. Have to watch the entire ad before I can get back…ugh..lol.

by DezziT8

Great game. Just now waiting for more story mode levels because I finished the farm like 3 days after I installed. Now racking up some wrenches and waiting! Hopefully you update soon.

by Ads Are Bad Too

I wrote a critical review 2 days ago, I wonder why it isn’t showing up? I guess they don’t like 1 star reviews.
I know they have to run ads, but the ads for kings ransom seem to relentlessly come up and constantly freeze up.
But REALLY, ads for this game’tap master’ running in the game itself is crazy and it was freezing up too.
Why would you run an ad for your game while your game is playing?

by Ajammmmm

Can’t complete a level without watching at least one ad. Have to clear bonus blocks, which do give you a bonus, but you have to watch an adult. And when you finish a level you watch an ad.

by Diamond Ralston

I am so disappointed the way you changed the game. You really messed up. The game you had had so much potential. it was a game that could have gone on for years and would have made you alot of money. Good bye.

by NVa24273

The adds can be overwhelming, but so far I accumulate enough coins just claiming the minimum number of coins to remove the clear blocks with coins in them and selecting “Not Now” for the gifts. The ad time usually runs ~5 seconds accordingly. I have accumulated over 24K coins just beating puzzles!. I might try some of the other facets of the game, but I really love beating the puzzles in the allotted time!

by Grmim

Absolutely love the game! One suggestion, though. Give us a way to turn off all those annoying ads! I would pay, if it was a reasonable price! Thank you!

by Charlie9?

I find this to be a relaxing game until it restarts over and over again. I got to the end of the game and it restarted. Send gaming instructions for this game.

by Jlkjkkllwertuioccbjfd

I really like the game, but the ads were too frequent and mostly too long to keep me interested. The ads also interrupted the game too much. A couple of ads between games would be tolerable. Also vary the ads. Long ads for other games I have no interest in playing repeated over and over was too much.

by Hbgfcf

I’m having a lot of fun playing TapOut. Sure, there are a lot of commercials, but they are relatively short compared to many other games. Also, you can usually click out of most of them them before they finish. Like others have said before, you can put your phone on airplane mode and you won’t have to deal with the commercials. Again, many of the other games won’t let you play that way. It’s fun and relaxing, so I recommend giving it a try.

by Ezyduzzit

I have tried several of tap away type games over the last few games. This is far away the best. It is easy to see and tell where each block is located in relation to its neighbor when you are moving the blocks. It moves smoothly. The ads are not so intrusive. I find the endless mode very relaxing. The regular mode can turn into a challenge — but a doable challenge, not an ad fest. Thanks guys.
