Good but needs more puzzlesI like the game mechanic, just challenging enough without being frustrating (some were really easy though).
Sadly I got to level 79 and noticed this particular puzzle had now shown up for a third time..SkyledragonVersion: 0.0.5
Need more puzzlesI got all the way to over a hundred and the puzzles, seen to be the same, I keep doing the same few puzzles over and over again, you need different puzzle, this is getting boring now, I have now stopped playing.Tesla 50Version: 0.0.5
Mixed feelingsI loved this game, relaxing and fun. But level 79 is unsolvable. Wish I could give it 5 stars but that’s a deal breaker. I’d love to come back and change my rating if this gets fixed..AwesomeBaconLukeVersion: 0.0.43
Great gameI really enjoy this game! I’m at level 455 and I find these puzzles challenging but it never takes me more than a day or two to pass a level for how often I play. The timer sometimes seems REALLY short, but eventually I get it and there’s time left over. I think it’s good. You obviously have to make money, so ads are understandable, and I actually think it’s a good amount- some games are so obnoxious with it, but I’m not mad at yours. Only thing I think you’re missing, is some more other games within. I never do the canyon chase challenge because the puzzles are more challenging now, so it’s not likely I’ll beat 7 in a row first try. Some more variety there, would be great. You’d probably keep people in the app longer and get more ad revenue that way too! Cheers, I’m enjoying it still.Shunter249Version: 1.13.7

Bad MonetizationPutting a timer in a puzzle game is the worst decision you could ever make!.CHTSALVersion: 1.9.14
Ads…Game is fun, pretty challenging and satisfying.
But there are lots of ads. Took me 138 levels to realize it, since there were none beforehand, but now it’s one every level..Shade_12Version: 1.13.7
Stress Takes the Fun out of itThe timer is so limited that it stops the game from being fun. Maybe you could do a tier system. Like, give more time but if you finish in x time you get one star, if you finish in y time you get two stars, if you get z time you get three stars.
If you get stuck, you’re doomed. There is no way to earn coins or boosters without passing a level, so if you can’t pass a level there’s no way to help.
Also I got to level 464, and couldn’t figure it out no matter what I tried. I looked up a walk through and it had a starting block that I don’t have. Since it’s a level with gates, I need that block or all the gates stay shut.
Unfortunately the game is now unplayable..Susan123456789sVersion: 1.13.7
Good gameThis game is great. I’m on level 240 and haven’t paid a penny. It just takes patience and perseverance to get through some of the trickier puzzles. I love it! The ads aren’t unbearable, most of them can be skipped. If I get annoyed I just put it down for a bit and come back to it..CasualmeditatorVersion: 1.13.7
No timer!I agree with the other reviews… love the game, hate the timer. Stressful at higher levels. Seems impossible, might just give up!.TerrillahVersion: 1.13.7
Not worth the download.Like the majority of other users have reviewed, this game is great except for the timer. The time constraints on the “hard” and “super hard” levels are particularly obnoxious. Giving someone less than 2 minutes to solve a really challenging level is absolutely ridiculous.
I’d be curious to see how many people have deleted this app because the developers are just ignoring its users..Channel_6Version: 1.13.7

Cant Select Ads for additional lifeSometimes i cannot select to view an ad for an additional life. They don’t play which means I don’t get an extra life to continue to play. I also paid to get rid of ads but I have to watch for additional lives. That was misleading. If you pay you shouldn’t have to watch ads at all..KaaaaaaaitlynVersion: 1.13.7
BofAnother game that starts well and then gets you to spend money to beat an impossible clock and spend more time watching adds than you play the game. Good for the first 25 levels before it gets tedious and boring..Nikky HeatVersion: 1.13.7
My favourite game!I actually disagree with everyone. I think as frustrating as the timer is sometimes, I’ve never gotten to a level that I can’t beat within like 30 tries or so (most levels are under 5). I think without the timer it would be too easy and I would get bored of it. Although, I think having a zen mode without the timer additionally could be great! The part that frustrates me most are the limited lives. Wish they were unlimited, but glad you can watch ads for more. I thinking for me having a separate zen mode and more opportunities to get the 15 minute unlimited free lives or the freeze power-up (I currently never use them because I want to save them since they’re precious) would make the game perfect!.5367:46678897($$:7Version: 1.13.1
Genuinely not badThe timer adds a fun time pressure, I just hit level 303 and Im still wnjoying it. Just dont look at the game as a relaxing game, look at it as a timed puzzle.ScoutEagleVersion: 1.13.1

Color Block Jam Negative Reviews
Please fix tracking issueGood game. Good challenge in a fun way to a point. It needs a few more seconds on most clocks. Not everyone who plays has the same processing speed and it can be a challenge game while not excluding people who cannot process information as fast.
Also they need to fix the tracking issue where blocks you go to move will snap back to where they were instead of move to the new space repeatedly. I've had this happen on multiple, multiple puzzles now. This cost additional seconds as well and adds to the issue of the clock being cut too close to the possible time to move everything.
I agree with someone else that said there needs to be an untimed mode or allow players to pick their difficulty mode instead then adjust the clock, amount of elements per puzzle (I.e shut off slots, bombs, etc.) just like other video games do. This would also allow for replaying of puzzles on different modes with minimal need to create new ones, just adjust some of the elements. And a lot of people like to try harder versions after beating easier ones to challenge themselves..Demi 😈Version: 1.7.9
Fun game but they ruined it for money.The game is really fun, but it’s far too centred around forcing you to pay ridiculous amounts of money to play it. Several of the levels have timers that are far too short so you can’t complete them without failing several times. This means you are forced to either wait for lives to return or pay them an outrageous amount of coins. Refilling lives or extending the timer for 20 seconds requires you to pay 900 coins, which is worth nearly $2 in the shop. At the very least the currency exchange shouldn’t be so unbalanced. You can’t complete them refill a life by watching an ad which quickly becomes annoying considering the ads are now 30/60 seconds long and they force you to listen to their audio, effectively stopping anyone from listening to background music.
I shouldn’t have to pay tons of money daily to enjoy a game. Mobile games have really gotten out of control with their ad and money demands. This game is not worth paying $20 for 8 power-ups and two hours of unlimited hearts..Genaviene LazangelVersion: 1.13.7
Brutal and punishing in unfun waysListen, I don’t want to throw around terms like “the dark souls of stupid puzzle games”, that would be an insult to Dark Souls. This game artificially incites difficulty by not giving the player a second to think about what they’re doing with the absurdly strict level timers in order to farm more money either off the ads the player is spamming to get more lives or the coin purchases they’re doing to get the ability to do anything. The bombs make this even more punishing. The ability to look around freely before moving any blocks helps, but it’s not enough to help with *twenty-five seconds until death* in most cases. The puzzles are fun, the timers aren’t.
Okay, MOST of the puzzles are ALMOST fun. Gates are the second worst thing you could have added. I swear, I’ve lost the same amount of attempts to “whoops, didn’t play around gates perfectly” or accidentally dragging something out when I didn’t mean to and closing a gate as I have to absurdly short bomb timers..Portalbird222Version: 1.1.0
Too many ads & glitchy game playFun game, but short time limits on levels and many hard levels back to back are designed to make you fail and watch lots of ads. Even when you beat a level, you have to watch an ad. I get this is how they make their money, but after failing the level 6 times in a row and having to sit through the same ad over and over again, it gets old and i close the app. Also, after a few rounds, it’s frustrating that the game starts glitching and the pieces don’t move smoothly, and that’s even if i can get the game to recognize i’m trying to move that piece after touching it three or four times which uses up up the short amount of time allotted to complete the level. The only things that don’t seem to flitch are the clock and the ads. And 20 minutes to get a new life after you’ve used the 5 you have is a little long..SamHain1031Version: 1.9.14
Be ready to spend your $$$The game is fun — no doubt! Love the challenge, but absolutely despise that the game becomes so very difficult so very quickly, you can’t earn enough coins to do anything to meet the challenges, and some games are so difficult that you can not pass the level without buying more coins. Even buying isn’t foolproof as I was charged nearly $31 above the listed price to buy more coins and I have not received a response to my complaint! This game needs a lot of upgrades in order to make it worth playing. Right now, it seems like a money grab by some greedy game developers. Based on the amount of money I spend just to play for an hour or so, I would say don’t get this game unless you have a huge disposable income or every other game you play is boring you..ChilicjVersion: 1.8.1
Fun until its notOverbearing ads, like I mean every level u get an ad. Some stages have far too short of timers for what they are- I'd have maybe 5 seconds left on timer even if I played the stage flawlessly. The amount of coins you get for completing a stage (40 regular, 80 with ads) is so unbearable low for how much you need to say, add 20 seconds on timer (900) or buy a powerup (1400?!). What is the point of buying powerups and 20 second additions if they are useless? Also its very easy to accidentally use coins- you can buy a heart for 900 coins, but if you misclick after you fail a stage, you spend 900 coins on 20 seconds. How is 20 seconds comparable to buying a whole heart to repeat a stage with full timer? Lower the 20 second cost and maybe it'll feel less awful..паоgаVersion: 1.13.7
Great game but can’t recommendThis game is really challenging and a lot of fun. It’s the kind of challenge that I think is quite good for the brain, and I am over 60. It’s especially fun when you get to levels where there are color outlines, pieces that can only move vertically or horizontally, etc. It forces you to use your brain and it truly is enjoyable. However, once you get to the “hard” levels, the time allotted is ridiculously short. Don’t most people play games on their phones to relax and unwind? There is nothing relaxing about these time limits, and it seems clear that the primary goal is to get lots of cash out of customers, because just a few seconds more time is crazy expensive. As much as I hate to, I will be deleting this app..Editor & Word loverVersion: 1.13.7
No Free AssistanceI love puzzle games. I beat Tetris. I made it all the way to level 459 on this game, even if a level would take me a couple days to beat. However, I can’t stand it anymore. 459 has had me stuck for about two weeks, and I refuse to spend anymore money to be stuck on the same level. You don’t get ANY free bonuses or assistance, not even in exchange for watching an ad, like most games do. If they added that feature, maybe I’d keep playing. But I’ve even BOUGHT multiple tools to win this level and move on, but I draw the line at this point and am just going to delete.
They say you can unlock prizes, but you must win consistently to earn toward tools, and you only get 40 coins per level won, while ONE hammer costs 1400 coins. Just not even fun or worth it anymore..JvbrombVersion: 1.13.1
Deleting AppIt took me a while to download the game. I was excited to play. I was so disappointed after playing just a few minutes. It takes 900 coins to complete many tasks to continue to play a current game. You do t receive that mai. Coins and the. Have to spend money to get coins so you can continue your game. Also there are only a certain amount of lives before you are stuck yet again either spending money or wasting time in order to play again. Very disappointed on the greediness of the company in order to play a somewhat continuous game. I will be deleting this app (any others by this developer) and hope no one else gets false hopes to play this game. It would be helpful to have a section where issues like this can be placed..Planet1062Version: 1.8.1
Are you kidding?The game itself is wonderful; however, it has the worst ad structure I’ve encountered yet. The time allowed is obviously calculated to prevent the player from winning; sometimes absurdly inadequate. Then yo can’t elect to watch an ad to get more time (irritating as that is); your only option is to start over or pay actual money. Intensely frustrating! Kudos to those who actually make a lot of progress. I have found myself having to play each level MANY times in order to make a tiny bit of “thinking” progress each time and practice doing the part I’ve figured out faster and faster. I would love to find a fairer version, but no way am I going to be extorted to the degree these guys want me to!.Zeb4Version: 1.6.12
Timer is horribleAll the levels are timed and pretty soon impossible to solve in the short amount of time they give you. I thought a game like this would help me relax but I find the only way to solve levels is to screenshot the level and look at it on photos to decide what moves to make. There is no way it is humanly possible for a normal person, even an extremely gifted person to solve these in the time limit they give you without rehearsing/memorizing their moves ahead of time. Decided to delete after I realized how tedious it is to play and the ridiculous hoops I have to jump through in order to solve a level. Cool concepts in the game based off of a classic game concept but the timer trying to force you to purchase more time and items absolutely ruins it..John monkey manVersion: 1.11.4
Good Game Spoiled By Greedy DevelopersTitle says it all. The puzzles are both good and challenging, but they rapidly get extremely hard, and you are given VERY little time to complete them. To get 20 seconds more costs 900 coins which is about 12 successful wins, so you MUST pay $$$, keep trying and failing (until you run out of lives) or give up. More lives and available powerups are overpriced to the point that unless you are a puzzle genius with very quick fingers, winning beyond a certain point is almost impossible without paying (i.e., a couple of days). I understand the need to make money but I am not going to pay big $$$ for 20 seconds … and they also have ads running, too. Other developers don’t do this - there are MANY better games that are not so GREEDY..1931 Studebaker PresidentVersion: 1.8.1
More than frustrating!The developers like to use the word “fun” repeatedly. However, the short time and deliberate difficulty, exorbitant points needed to buy a few seconds, and not to mention the unnecessarily long ads, actually creat more stress than “fun.” I, like most people, like to challenge my brain. But this game sets you up for failure which further robs you of the joy of thinking and solving a puzzle. I am yet to feel satisfied and good even after solving a particularly hard level. Even though they “assure” the player that every level is solvable, the player realizes that the higher the level, the higher the frequency of dead ends, frustrations and rising anger! I’m done with the stress and elevated blood pressure! I’m deleting this game and will look for something else..Out of BallparkVersion: 1.13.7
Fun but not sustainableI love a nice puzzle game but you can tell how much they make the game artificially harder to make you more incentivized to pay for the micro transactions. I deleted the game after one puzzle where there’s not only a really short timer but i couldn’t get all the pieces through the gate and although i “solved” the puzzle multiple times, there’s only one specific solution of order of the blocks being sorted for you to successfully solve it in a short time window. This is there to get you to use a “help” gadget that makes it nearly impossible to solve normally without a bunch of trial and error. And you only get a few lives before having to wait 30 minutes for the next life to regenerate. I hate mobile games so much..SiciovkenskckvkwbajckcVersion: 1.13.7
Prepare to spend moneyLove the game. Very challenging. I don’t even mind paying for coins occasionally but you eventually get stuck where there is not a solution. Please give an untimed mode. Charge me for it. I don’t care. You need an option to play at a relaxing untimed pace. The higher the level (currently on 148) I have also noticed that the sensitivity to pick up the piece seems to be decreasing. Not something I noticed on lower levels but definitely impacts success if the piece has to be touched 2-3x to get it to move and you are being timed. Great game, hope you can make a more enjoyable experience. This could be great but is currently just mid. Listen to the people asking for untimed..Twiggy31Version: 1.13.7
UNPLAYABLE IF YOU DONT PAYYeah I’m sorry I’m not gonna sit here and sugar coat and lie like some of these reviews. It was GREAT at first, loved it. And then level 47 comes along.
That level is unplayable unless you plan on throwing money away at a puzzle game, which is stupid. Like very stupid. So yeah, don’t even bother playing if you don’t wanna pay stupid fees cause they specifically make their levels impossible to get past at one point so you either pay or delete the app.
Oh and also, there’s a REASON that most other puzzle games who do offer in app purchases (offer, not force) also offer the ability to gain power ups through ads and or gain coins through ads. And it’s mainly cause you isolate an entire market by NOT letting ads be used in that way.
Overall, very disappointed because I genuinely did like it, but the force paying is stupid beyond belief and I refuse to pay for a game that markets itself as free, but obviously isn’t.
TL;DR : don’t get if you don’t wanna have to pay past a certain point to continue at all in the game. It’s good but not good enough to throw away money at it. Not in this economy at least..Charlie E. B.Version: 1.11.4
Decent game BUTIt’s a decent game. I don’t mind the micro transaction stuff or the hearts limit. My problem with this game is this:
1) you can’t play without an internet connection. There’s no reason to need an internet connection other than to flood you with ads. (I wouldn’t even mind paying for no ads if it wasn’t for the next three issues)
2) they’re running so many task in the background to collect data that it makes your phone so hot you could cook an egg on it.
3) god forbid you want to listen to music or watch a video while you play because this game will turn your phone into a brick.
4) this game will drain your battery like nobody’s business. Probably because of all the sketchy data collection they’re doing.
This is your classic silly little time waster that’s designed to serve you ads and collect data to sell to data brokers so you can get more ads. I like the game itself but it just reeks of the corporate “how do we extract as much value out of this as possible” mindset that consumers have to put up with these days..DrdublinVersion: 1.11.1
Once again, fun game turned disappointingThis game— like many other games of the “satisfying” nature— has a timer that is not optional. I have had to delete so many of these games after a handful of levels because it moves from being satisfying to anxiety inducing with a hint of irritability. I would be more prone to playing the game and even keeping it if they made having the timer an optional feature. I used to play these kinds of games for hours(which probably isn’t the healthiest but if you’re an app dev, don’t you want people addicted to your game??) and would even enter a relaxed state because of it. Now I’m left in a position to leave a bad review. MAKE THE TIMER OPTIONAL..-meggsss_Version: 1.11.4
No timer pleaseThis would be 5 stars if it didn’t have a timer.

Enjoy but too many Ads after Level 25I really enjoy the challenge and thought that goes into solving these puzzles. Time aspect is not an issue for me. However, after level 25, Ads show up after every puzzle solved once you collect your coins. Why have an option to collect double the coins (if you watch a video) when you show videos anyways if you choose not to double the coins. Pretty stupid if I do say so myself. Guess you really want your $9.99 to remove the ads pretty badly..AEL64Version: 1.13.7
