1010 Block Puzzle Game Reviews

I’ll start by saying this is the first review I have ever left, that’s how frustrated I have become with this game.
I used to really enjoy this game. It was an easy way to pass time and keep yourself occupied. As with any game it has ads, but they used to be just at the end after you lose. It was fine, I didn’t mind that at all. After the last update, it now suddenly opens your App Store and pulls up some app you have never seen before. It’s as if you have clicked on an add despite one not existing. You want to swipe back to your game? Too bad, here’s your App Store opening for a different app. Want to try again? I don’t think so, here’s another app you should download.
It will do this constantly with no way to break the cycle other than fully closing the game. But once you restart the game, just give it a minute or two and it starts all over again.
If this is some kind of bug/glitch, then the people developing this are incompetent because there is now way this could have made it past QA. It seems like something they intentionally developed that may be occurring more often than they wanted. Regardless, this game has become unplayable. If you still want to download this, don’t complain that you were never warned.

This game is fun, IF it weren’t for all the glitches and pre planned failures. I got 1010BlockPuzzleGame a while ago and I used to play it all the time. Lately they’ve been putting a TON of ads. Not only are there too many ads but there’s a glitch where even if you don’t click on anything, it takes you to 1010BlockPuzzleGame store for a random app. Even when you click to go back to the game, it takes you back to 1010BlockPuzzleGame store to a different game once again, as an ongoing process and the only way to go back to playin the game is deleting it and re downloading it on your phone. However, it eventually does it again and I’m tired of it so I’m deleting it forever. Also, after a certain amount of time it automatically makes you fail. Let’s say, you have it filled up most of the way. You put down the last block and they give you 3 more. The next three are blocks that can’t fit and it forces you to fail and you have to start over. Not to mention, watch an add. Another problem is that I had previously had many points in the game and bought a ton of backgrounds for the game. When it updated, I had to start all over with no points and I had lost all my backgrounds. I even restored all purchases and everything but it still would not give me back what I bought. So, overall 1010BlockPuzzleGame is crap. Get a different one. Don’t waste your time.

The idea is good, and it is fun, for now. But the developers get paid by advertisers. You see an ad between each game. It's not hard math. Best way for the developers to get paid is to have you lose. If you're doing really well, the game will all of a sudden hit you with an impossible combination of blocks, so that you will lose.

Update: I opened the game today, and it tells me it cares about my privacy. Hmm. Then it says it’s been collecting my data and sharing it with 3rd parties but only to help me so that I have the best ad experience. Does anyone actually buy that line? It isn’t possible for them to provide me with the best ad experience because that would be no ad experience. I’m not benefitting. The advertisers are getting the best experience here. So then it tells me I can, of course, delete the data any time I want. How nice of them. So, I do. And it says we’re sorry to see you go.... So, by saying I can delete when I please, they mean I can but they won’t let me play unless I let them gather data on me. Okay. Well, it was just an okay game anyway, and I don’t NEED any game. These guys overestimate their worth.

I realized after an update that the game would randomly lag and so I started analyzing when it would lag and what would make it lag and so I found out that every time the ad changes at the top of 1010BlockPuzzleGame it lags before it does it and so I started to wonder why that would make it lag and so I had a theory that the reason the game lags is because you guys made it so 1010BlockPuzzleGame downloads the ads onto 1010BlockPuzzleGame so even when you don’t have connection there are still ads playing on top, so when they would change, the game would lag which is super irritating and frustrating to the point where I don’t even play anymore and a lot of people I know deleted the game, but I wanted to make sure I was right so I swiped up 1010BlockPuzzleGame to refresh it but before I opened it I put it on “airplane mode” and to no surprise the ads were still there which there would be no chance of being there unless the game downloaded the ads onto the game, therefore making it lag, fix this because I’m on the urge of deleting this for another app that has the same game except doesn’t lag.

I have written several emails to the developers and nobody has responded in weeks. There was some kind of glitch that caused the game I was playing to lock up and it happened to me when I was at an all-time record-high score. I opened the game as usual, but it was acting odd... It never displayed the customary “welcome back“ message; it just hung! So I shut 1010BlockPuzzleGame and opened it again and at that point it brought me to a brand new game with zero points!!! This is after I had been playing this one game for several weeks, so you can imagine how disappointed I was! But the worst part was that, after repeated attempts to contact the developers and look for a solution, there has been not one word written back or any form of acknowledgment whatsoever! Prior to this review, I would have given this a five-star review for its elegance, complexity, and yet simplicity, but my one star review now reflects the developers complete lack of commitment to stand behind their product and interact with their customers!! Sad! :-(

I used to love playing this game, and it’s a great idea, but especially recently i’ve noticed more and more things about 1010BlockPuzzleGame that frustrate me, to the point where I actually won’t play this game again until they are fixed. The first is when the game lags. This has been mentioned in several of the reviews I’ve read, and it’s still happening. Seriously, this is so annoying and messes up my whole game. Sometimes the game will even lag when i’m in the middle of placing a piece, so the piece ends up in a really inconvenient place instead of where I intended it to go. The other big issue is the ads in the middle of the game. When I first downloaded this game, the ads popped up at the end of each of the games, and it was a little annoying, but manageable. Now, there are ads that pop up in the middle of the game!! Sometimes I’ll even accidentally click the ad and it takes me all the way to 1010BlockPuzzleGame store. When this happens, every time I try to close 1010BlockPuzzleGame store and reopen 1010, it just takes me back to 1010BlockPuzzleGame store. I’m really fed up with this. you can’t just put ads in every 3 minutes and expect people to keep playing the game. fix these 2 issues, and I would love to keep playing.

This is one of my favorite games to play, I love that there is no time limit and I can play at a relaxing pace when I need to get my mind off work. I enjoy the pleasant sounds. However, recently, new advertising is causing the game to drag and it’s very irritating, often causing me to drop a piece in the wrong place... or even having to reboot my iPhone. And the new pop ups are really annoying. You are missing the opportunity on the pop ups to give us a button to click to purchase the game so we have no more annoying pop ups or ads that drag us down. • TIP: What’s with the new points and stars? You need to allow your players to tap on something to explain what those stars/points are for, otherwise it’s an unnecessary affect that doesn’t make sense. • TIP: extra points for the rare time A player completely clears the board.

I bought this game so ads aren’t an issue for me. This is a fun and somewhat addictive game but it definitely has some flaws that holds it back. As another reviewer mentioned, there doesn’t appear to be any logic built into it. You could be doing well until a random set of shapes that can never be used is presented. Sometimes a successful game just quits for no reason. It feels unfinished - there is more the developers can do with this - instructions would be good. For instance is there a timer and that’s why the game quits? Warnings about improper shape placement would engage people more, a pop up letting players know they lost instead of leaving them with a “what just happened?” moment. Maybe a continuous stream of shapes to give the player more opportunity to strategize instead of presenting just three at a time. It seems like the developers just stopped working on it once they filled the minimum requirements for an app. If there is no opportunity to win or compete against their own score, players will stop playing.

There are issues with glitching that I have patience for, even when it legit ends the game by lagging a block in the wrong spot, because it is after all just a game.
What I do not have patience for however is the adds. These adds aren’t normal adds that pop up between game plays or on the side lines of the game. These adds will pop up in the middle of the game, sometimes being adds you can simply exit out of, some not so much. 1010BlockPuzzleGame has sent me to apps in 1010BlockPuzzleGame store (without me clicking anything), sketchy websites on safari (you won $100! Type websites), and worst of all a pornsite mid game without clicking on anything. I was in public playing this game and suddenly I was looking at a very graphic image. (Note I have never watched porn on my phone either so this was extremely uncalled for). I’m not offended by porn but it makes me uncomfortable. Also a child could have been playing the game on my phone and would have seen this.

Now before you say my phone has a virus this happened only while playing this game on my old phone and no other time while being on my phone and it happens now with my brand new phone only while playing this game. I never click adds or do anything to get viruses and IT ONLY HAPPENS WHILE ON 1010BlockPuzzleGame.

I still play this game but will never play it around children out of caution.

I’ve been using 1010BlockPuzzleGame for some time now, past year and change. I love that it’s free of an internet connection so I can play it during my commute with no service while underground.

Unfortunately it’s started to lag lately, since I’ve updated. I thought it might be related to the ads as I haven’t paid for the full version but switching airplane mode on hadn’t solved this. I’ve tried to see if other apps lag as well thinking it may be my phone but haven’t been able to observe anything else doing the same. Quite annoying in 1010BlockPuzzleGame as pieces get placed incorrectly when touching another part of the screen.

That’s the only thing I’m holding back a star for actually, hopefully an update resolves the lag. Device is an iPhone 7 if at all relevant.

I love this game! It drives me insane because I am constantly trying to beat my own score. I would have given it 5 stars but the backgrounds provided need to be fixed; the pieces blend right in to the grid. If possible, are you able to make the grid a little darker so the pieces stand out more? My favorite background is NIGHT because the pieces are colorful but they are clear to see and there is a sharp contrast between the board and the colors. I love the kids one too but again with the grid the pieces can be hard to see clearly. All-in-all, I play this game at least 30x a day and would love to be able to use the backgrounds I work so hard to achieve each week. Also, I continue to get random pop up adds for Uber but I am never able to click out of them. It now requires me to exit the game completely. Please fix this.

There’s moments where it’ll lag and the piece I’m holding gets put somewhere I didn’t mean too (and this is an app so yeah there will be mistakes. It happens) but I’ve had this game for a couple years now and I’ve always kind of thought of the idea that it would be SO COOL if Everytime you’d clear the board you’d get a separate tally area of points you can use for a single redo option?? Or to erase a single square on the screen to maybe help your next move out, OR maybe to swap one of your 3 option pieces??
I really enjoy this game, one of my most played games and it would just be nice to be able to beat my high score which always feels impossible because it’s not like getting past the 100K mark happens all the time within the day.. so to be able to fix up a mistake by collecting stars or another point system from clearing the board completely, it would be awesome!!

I always enjoyed Tetris, and it took me awhile to learn to think in different directions and not to freak out too much if there were spaces. I enjoy the challenge of being flexible as to which direction I can get rows.

Every once in awhile there is a glitch, but most of the time it runs well. Even on my old phone which didn’t always load properly, it didn’t place a piece unless I really placed it. The piece would revert back to the selection panel when my phone wasn’t running smoothly.

But now on my new phone, I lost all the colors/tiles that I had purchased with stars. I had also purchased no ads with real world money, and for some reason that purchase isn’t transferring to my new device. Maybe that’s just how it is with this game? I’d like to find out before I make the purchase, but I really don’t mind paying $2 for this game. It’s a good game.

My original review is below. I still stand by it. However, recently the ads have become increasingly annoying and intrusive. Not only have they been giving the game so much lag that blocks fall into the wrong place, but now they are popping up at random in the middle of the game. I don’t know if this is a glitch or intentional, but I do know that it is very irritation.

No levels, no goals, just a simple, fun, addicting game. I love that I can start a game and come back hours later and finish.

For those saying the game locks you into losing by giving pieces you can't use, I've found that you CAN use the pieces, but you have to figure out the right order in which to use them. It's challenging, and sometimes you still lose, but I've been able to play on many times when I thought I'd lose just by using a little strategy.

A couple years in and this game is still on my phone. I don’t even love this game. I just like it a lot. I’m not crazyyyyy about it. It’s just consistently enjoyable. I don’t really have an advertisement problem. I get ads between games but games usually last hours or days. Lag happens slightly every once in a while. It has messed me up here and there. But it doesn’t destroy my whole game plan and make me angry. It’s really really easy to fix mistakes in this game. This isn’t a hyper precision game. I don’t think I’ve ever been mad or disappointed with this game. It’s a simple game but it never gets old. It’s never been my “main game”. But it’s out lasted my favorite games. I’ve never recommended it but for some reason I realized I should. It’s just a solid game to keep that part of your brain busy.

When I got my first apple device as a kid, an old iPod touch, I played games like this one constantly. That was really the reason I had it. I’m in college now, and this is the only mobile game that still holds up. It is the only mobile game I play regularly. I think the only thing I dislike about 1010BlockPuzzleGame is that the themes you can buy with stars are all hideous. The default one is ok. Other than that, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s simple, challenging, and the ads are minimal. In fact, they only appear after you finish a game, so if you close 1010BlockPuzzleGame immediately and open it again, it’s an add free experience. I’ve played enough, however, that I’m seriously considering purchasing the add free version if only to support the devs. Now, I’m well aware that 1010BlockPuzzleGame was most likely not coded by the people. It’s one of those games with a million versions of themselves across 1010BlockPuzzleGame Store with different owners and names and slightly different assets. I’m fairly certain that I could get the files for next to nothing (if not free) and produce my own version of 10!10! Maybe I will. I’ll call it “void blox” and it will have an existential horror theme. Look for it on 1010BlockPuzzleGame Store a few weeks after this review is written. Anyways, back to the point. This is a great game if you’re looking for simplicity and functionality. 10 out of 10 (pun intended), would recommend.

This is the one mobile game that I’ve played for the longest. Whenever I seem to get bored with it, I put it down, but in a month or two I pick it back up and get obsessed again as I try to beat my high score. The layout and design is simple. Its both puzzling and yet mindless. It’s therapeutic. You can pick it up and play at any time and at any point. On the airplane, in line at the grocery store, while watching tv. There is also a cool “dark mode” that’s easy on the eyes.

As someone with a score of 50,000, my advice to players would be, don’t try to arrange things so that you can clear a bunch of rows at one time. When you see the opportunity to complete a row, do it! Also, when you can, always save space for bigger pieces that may throw your game off.

I agree with him/her. I have been playing this game for a while too. There is only an ad when you lose and that is not often. It is a very addicting game and super fun. My high score is 20,000. Yea I play this game a lot. And yes, it is fun to play when you watch Netflix. It’s a good game. Like you can actually play this game in-front of your family. It’s not a bad game. My dad plays it all the time with me. And I AM NOT A BOT. Just cuz I wrote a good review doesn’t mean that. Like there is no glitches in this game. But you don’t have to download it if you don’t want to but if your 10-15 y/o then yea I would insists your get this game. This game could never end. Sometimes you have to think about it but it’s good. I Hope You Read My Review. All I’m saying is that this game is GREAT! 👍 I will give it 5 star. The people made this game good. I know it may not be a long review but it’s definitely worth it. And I have been playing this game for 2 years and I’m not tired of it either, and I’m only 12. Well bye now! Hope you read this!

I’ve been playing 1010! since at least my first iPod, so for about 7 years. I’d agree that it is a bit addicting, especially when you beat your high score or are close to it. It may be simple and not coded but for me it doesn’t matter. In my opinion, the point of the game is how long you can play before you mess it up and obviously how high your score is. My high score is a little over 58,000, which made me curious to what the all time high score was. I never really found a for sure answer, but one person said their high score was 124,000 something. I wish there was an official website for an actual high score. I don’t think there are many ads compared to other games I play sometimes. If the ads bother you that much it’s only like .99 cents? to get rid of them. It would be cool if the game had levels.. that sort of thing, but then again I’m very good on how the game is now. I also am a fan of how many different themes there are and of the stars to purchase the themes. Overall, I personally like the simplicity of the game. It’s nice to play to wind down and relax.

So I absolutely love this game, I play it literally all the time and everyday (when I have a bit of time to do something). The only problem I have is the color schemes of the blocks. Like a month ago I was looking around the game and found the store, where you could buy color schemes/themes for your game/blocks. I thought this was really cool, and I decided to save up points to buy them. I saw the coffee one, which looked really nice. Shown as different shades of brown and then a yellow which did look nice with them. I saved up for a while only to purchase it and find out that other than these colors I had assumed would come with it came with other colors that were ugly as hell. Im sorry but I really could not stand how it looked and had to change it back to normal. If you could please use better color palletes that look nice together I would appreciate it. I could recommend some to you if you would like.
