Best Fiends - Match 3 Puzzles Positive Reviews

Relaxing and Fun Connect In This GameAs the title describes it, Best Fiends is an app where fun and relaxing connect with each other, making it a good game to have in case of boredom or stress. It says that you don’t need lives, but instead, it gives you little lightning bolts and when they’re all gone, you have to wait about 30 minutes to continue playing. It has little pets that you can upgrade and use to defeat slugs and even if you don’t defeat any slugs, you get great rewards for trying. It does get a little hard after a while so have in mind that this game is strategic and not super easy and realizing for children under 8. It asks you for your age because there are two versions for the game. One of them is for adults which is a little harder but still pretty similar, and it has a kid version which has easier levels and a better experience for children. There are also different maps with different levels. For example, Green Glades has the easiest levels and is basically just a tutorial area, while Endless desert has hard levels that don’t have as many tutorials. Still, Best Fiends is the best game that my you can play on a random day, especially if it’s a boring day and you are feeling a certain amount of stress..SepiaTigerVersion: 11.9.3

It’s legitimately fun - no ads! - needs improvement to cash purchasesWould like ability to meet/make/add friends from inside game rather than only friends from real life- like players you’d meet in game teams because I refuse to blow up my social media with game posts or ask friends to join and have zero clue who in my real life friends may play so I can participate with those friend based challenges and perks like sending gifts or earning points. I don’t mind purchasing things from a game when I truly enjoy the game and it’s an appreciated or fun enhancement however I’m not willing to spend so much money for something that is only good for a short amount of time and I am a human being who has to sleep and work so there’s not a true reflection of the time the perk is available for most people. I would purchase much more often if I could actually use it during time spent in game or was cheaper. When there’s already so much time spent in between actual games/challenge and every minute is taken off my cash purchase time it doesn’t even out. I’m close to a spot in game where I’m considering the game can’t proceed without the use of the 30$ fiends who also need significant level ups before they would help pass the level and of course each level comes with specific challenges that require specific 30$ fiends individually and that’s much too costly.Vining111Version: 11.8.7

Addicting but costly…I love best fiends and will go through waves of playing for hours to forgetting I even have the app installed. I have spent a lot of money on this app and don’t mind doing so. However, if the cost of items were lower, I feel as though more people would enjoy the game. It is becoming a “pay-to-win” rather than using skill and strategy to beat levels. Two major frustrations I have are the price of gold, items, packs, etc… and the mega boost function. Paying $30 should get you a LOT of content, not just one fiend that isn’t even leveled up. If I am spending money, it should be worth while. Mega boost is so fun and allows players to boost through levels extremely quickly. Occasionally, the game gives you free handouts of mega boost time. During these periods, feel free to waste my time. Open your daily gift? Sure. Collect 30 different prizes and level up on 4 challenges? Go crazy, I don’t care. When I am spending MY OWN MONEY, I should NOT have my mega boost time WASTED moving around a fictional game board or collecting watering cans. The amount of mega boost time that has been taken from me is annoying, especially considering the time and money I put into this game. I know it is a dumb thing to complain about but please, pause the time allotted for upgrades or boosts that the player pays for. It is not fair to watch my power up time tick away :(.ShxnnonsheaVersion: 10.9.1

Decent game but dirty tacticsI’ve enjoyed this game for the most part. Over time it’s become abundantly clear that there is some programming in the game that prevents you from winning at certain times. Once you get past level 1,000 it’ll take dozens of tries on a level to beat it. Then out of nowhere everything will line up perfectly and you’ll breeze through. This isn’t just random because each new level will then again take hours to beat and then magically you’ll get it to all line up perfectly. I get the app has to make money but you kind of feel cheated because you realize that there is no possible way to beat that level other than playing it over and over until you get the “easier” layout. It is a fun game and definitely worth playing for a bit but I am frustrated that it’s not skill or strategy that gets you past levels in this game, it’s money and time. I have a also noticed on many, many occasions that you will be extremely close to beating the level with 5+ moves left. All of a sudden the board goes dry. There are no colors or matches you need. Then you use your last turn and all of a sudden that play you were trying to attain for several turns magically shows up but now you have to pay 10 gold to continue. This isn’t random. It happens too frequently to be random. I think the game is programmed to do this and it’s sad that they use this to try to trick people into spending more money..DecentButDirtyVersion: 7.6.2

I keep getting stuck in crate cache!No way out of crate cache...weather or not you want to use your keys without shutting down the game app. I find no way to remove, shut down that part or get out of it to play another game without just closing the game app COMPLETELY...but now when I open the game up TO PLAY A GAME (NOT THE KEYS CRATE CACHE OVER & OVER WITH NO WAY OUT!!), the Crate Cache opens without even giving me a chance to PICK “play a game!” Extremely irritating!!! I’ll try to play a game on your app again (NOT TODAY), if that irritating key crate cache keeps coming up and not allowing me to just play a regular game, I wish u luck; but will not recommend your game to anyone. You shouldn’t make your game a big fat irritation just because you want to sell keys, players being able to play a few games BEFORE BEING FORCED INTO THAT KEY THING would help, I’m sure. That key thing is not what you advertise as playing fun. Your actual advertisement of your game is what interested me. Where’s the exit ‘X’ in the upper corner so your players won’t feel artificially forced into any non-fun aspect of your game, and just players play the next level, WITHOUT detours a player can’t exit from back into just simply enjoy playing levels. This is disappointing..PalabynyahVersion: 10.7.1

Games that last days…On the most recent series i just want to say that them telling you you have 5 more days left to that series, after noting they keep changing the amount of days before 24 hours has passed! This is not legal and very unfair! Also if they are tanking us by wins,and you are not using paid for aids, your ranking is ALWAYS going to be lower. They charge tax on each purchase take days to place them on your bill and never group them if you made the purchase on the same day. I now play without aids and find that winning is just a matter of luck, the way they set up the board and eventually you will win it just takes playing until they provide a winnable board! I like the challenge but dislike the dishonesty, if your giving us 14 days to win a series, make the days 24 hours. Mine went from 8 days to 5 in two legal 24 hour time increments, it was very obvious it was being played with and for someone who plays at the same tome each day, it was startling to become aware of it!! The developers are CHEATS on something so little as giving you a certain amount of time to finish and then they adjust it! There is no time of day on the game, so my taking a photo is useless, it hides your time, on the phone, so again useless. I am a creature of habit so it’s my word against theirs they took time away from the game!.Clever thatVersion: 10.3.1

Horribly addictive!! Seriously Fun!!Ok, after playing this game since 2014, I think I can honestly say that this is one of the absolute best games you can download for your phone or tablet. Game play is creative, simple and challenging all at the same time. Collecting, improving and using your Fiends adds depth, and makes you really play around to find the perfect combo for each level. Plus, the constant trickle of new fiends keeps you coming back to complete your collection. I really appreciate that you can buy items and watch adds for bonuses if you want, but they don’t force it down your throat or make it mandatory to progress. Hats off to the developers, they really hit it out of the park with this one!! After reading multiple reviews about how the game is rigged to make you buy gold because the levels are too hard or things similar to that, I just want to say that it’s not true. I’ve passed more than 2100 levels without paying a dime. If you can’t get past a level in less than 10 or 15 tries then your fiends are either not leveled up enough or you’re using the wrong ones. You should expect levels to get harder the further you go and this game does it without being cruel.Fish lover 2514Version: 7.7.3

Fun game to play but...It is a fun game to pass time. I’ve played it since it came out. But since that time the developers have moved buttons that didn’t require you to spend gold bars or buy things to buttons that do. You have to be mindful on each update. The epic critters are now $30 each? Meaning parents could drop $150 on an app???!? Sorry but that’s a hard no. I can go buy a couple of Xbox/PS games for that price AND take them to GameStop and get some money back. You can’t do that with apps. If you can’t use gold bars to get anything decent, there’s no point in collecting them during the game or buying them. Even the 2020 Black Friday “sale” wasn’t worth it - you had to buy one just to see what the other two offers were, and they really weren’t anything different than the offers that are done daily. I’d like to see if they are even looking at analytics to see if anyone is even finishing the monthly challenges 100% cause unless you play this game 8 hours every day, you’re not going to get them. I think there’s also a clear miss the developer should incorporate: It would be neat if they had an “info” card about the types of bugs & animals in the game so kids could see “oh this is what a axolotl or a Hercules beetle really looks like”. Connect with zoos or something to encourage learning about these bugs & spiders and turn fear into fascination..Mayem SnyphVersion: 8.7.7

Better game than mostI’ve been playing off and on for several years. It’s consistently good, and you only have to watch ads for keys or wheel spins, which is nice. Here’s my one problem: if you’ve ever watched the South Park episode ‘Freemium’s Not Free’, you’ll understand the machinations of this game perfectly. 90% of the challenges can only be won if you’re spending money. And 99% of the time, the ‘Hard’ or ‘Very Hard’ levels are not difficult, they’re just hard or very hard to win because the required pieces to collect are not made available unless you’re buying extra moves. It’s clear that it’s intentional. For example, if you need to collect 175 green leaves, the closer you get to the end of the provided moves, you’ll fewer and fewer green leaves get dropped. And if you run out of moves, and buy extra ones with gold (cash purchase required) you’ll (usually) suddenly get all the leaves you needed. Otherwise, you’ll play that level dozens and dozens of times, until you get that board where it’s almost too easy. And some challenges (the board game, for one) absolutely cannot be won unless you’re buying the bonus bundles to move forward. So I give it 4 stars. They lose the 5th star because of the obvious money grab attempts..Philbert0923Version: 10.2.6

Second Review - Keeps getting betterFirst off, I gotta say that this is my second review for this game. I’ve been playing for about two years now (I think, that’s what it feels like anyway) and the game has yet to get old or stale. They are constantly updating content and challenges, and the new leader board feature shows you how you stack up against other players. I have NEVER spent a dime purchasing gold bars or other “offers” (though I have been tempted!), and have beaten all of the main levels and am currently over 500 levels into the Hero stages, so purchases DEFINITELY are not required to win. The only gripe I have is that sometimes, when logging back in, the game changes my selected Fiends (and yes, I have turned off the auto-Fiend select option), and when I logged in today, almost all my gold was gone. I have the game installed on both my iPhone and iPad, but my iPad has been off for weeks with a cracked screen, otherwise I would have thought my kids had messed with the game. I’m glad I didn’t pay for the gold, but I did work hard for it. This may be a glitch that needs looked into with the latest update. Otherwise, a fabulous game that I can’t seem to stop playing. Good job guys..Chofer944Version: 5.8.1

Absolutely addicting!!!I tried this app after seeing the commercial on tv and I am not disappointed!! Of all of the games I’ve tried, this game keeps you moving, and doesn’t slow down your game with ads and sales. They do sell you bundles and things of course, they have to earn money some way, but will be honest and tell you this is the first game I have spent any money in.... but the deals are so cheap and you get so much.... you don’t have to spend any money at all for the game to be fun and it moves very quickly, and there are TONS of opportunities to win free stuff so you don’t ever get bothered for money, and this was the biggest plus for me. For real tho, the game is so fun with cute cartoon bugs, mazes, bad guys etc and a game set up much like RPG where you can power up one of your five characters on the board at the start of every game. There are 138 kinds of characters to collect, I just started playing today and already have nine!! Try this game. You will not be disappointed, and I think with everyone staying indoors lately due to current global situations, this game will help while the time away. Sorry, I have to go round up some more slug bandits. Y’all take care now!!👍🏻👍🏻💗.MustangshellyVersion: 7.8.3

WOW!!!!!This game is amazingly fun I thought it would actually be the same as all the other puzzle games but it really isn’t there are no issues with the game nothing is missing it is just fantastic is all I can say it is so amazing that I even I wish there were series of this game so I could download it and get even cuter and a different type of enemy but still kinda continue on with the characters I had before because THERE SO CUTE but some are cuter than others well anyway the game is amazing, fantastic, awesome, cool, relaxing, and fun so people who say it has some type of problem they are wrong in my opinion so I say don’t listen to them or even read it so you got me there and if the creators are reading this I have a suggestion to add to the game not that the game is bad cause you know it is not in my opinion but I was thinking they could add a spot to just like just play with your fiends like a little playground area to play with them and it is just a suggestion you don’t have to do it but I think it will help people want to play it if you mention that in your adds too. But the game doesn’t have adds. So sorry it was long and I hope you accept my suggestion thx!.Cookies are girlyVersion: 7.8.3

WowzaI downloaded the game because I kept seeing it in almost every ad i had in other games and wanted to see what the hype was about, but i got this game 2 maybe 3 weeks ago and now I'm on level 238! It is SO addictive :) kudos to the creators of this fantastic game! Some of the levels were hard to beat and sure, I probably tried throwing my phone at the wall in frustration but in the end it would make me more determined to beat it. Plus the daily events and longer events keep me going. You cant get me started on how fun it is to win but also nice to lose cause you still get an reward. Plus this game has the least amount of ads I’ve seen and the wheel is fun especially if you have vip. I haven’t bought vip with real money yet but i do keep winning it. Its good there so many things you can do. Such as upgrading your adorable fiends and unlocking boxes and trying to be first to see who wins the most challenges in an event. This game is amazing and I’ve gotten my grandma addicted too. This review is all over the place but thats because this game is SO overwhelming but the good kind🥰 Much love to the amazing people behind this fiendtastic game!! Sorry that was bad....AriaharmonyVersion: 7.0.0

One of the best games...I have EVER PLAYED. I don’t have to spend a penny even though it advertises me too, but it also gives me a chance to disconnect from my phone and pick it back up again when I am ready. I haven’t beaten the game yet, but I am enjoying each level. There are some levels that are much more challenging than others, but that is what keeps it entertaining. I don’t want to play a game that I can easily win and just breeze through all the levels. I can thoroughly enjoy this game and get through the levels on my time. The creatures are super adorable, I love the spinner feature that reloads every 10 minutes by watching an ad of two, and I enjoy playing the game. Again, I don’t play every hour or every second of every day — this game gives me an opportunity to miss playing and something to look forward to when I have a quick minute to myself. It also keeps my children entertained when at a doctors appointment are waiting at the grocery store, and my children range from three to eleven. This is a well thoroughly written out game, and I’m thankful for this game. Finally a game I can enjoy without spending a fortune!.Kf131250Version: 5.7.0

Great game but underhanded adsI like the game play dynamics and the challenge is great. Lots of things always going on to keep it fresh and inviting. My biggest complaint is with the ads and especially that it now automatically takes you to the App Store without pressing a button when you elect to view an ad. I thought it was my mistake but it will sometimes take you to the App Store to check out the game or app you just watched and other times pops up an image that looks like the App Store. It has done it every 2-3 times I view an ad so it isn’t a rare fluke but appears intentional. It’s already annoying that between nearly every round you have to exit out of the pop up pay to play ad they place but to have the ads you watch exit the program and take you to the App Store is very frustrating and shouldn’t be allowed. They also make the adds where it can be hard to touch the x to close it so that it thinks you are clicking the ad to go to the App Store too. So they get you to the App Store many different ways much of them underhanded so that they can make their commissions on the “click through” to the App Store page they get paid on. I’d rate this game a 5 star were it not for the ads and their implementation of them..JazzkhatVersion: 8.6.0

On/off player since 2014.I’ve loved this game from the time when you guys were just starting out. Everything about it. The characters, giving of extra moves, and game structure. This is not like candy crush. This is not a rip-off version of Tetris. This is a unique style of puzzle games. Those negative reviewers have never been around with this game as long as anyone like I have. I do agree that the one advertisement with the lady that knocks on the screen is a bit annoying, but that doesn’t change the way I feel about this game. It’s helped me cope with stress by distracting me and eventually forget that I was ever upset. I have just one suggestion: making getting extra moves a little bit easier.. maybe when the player has a difficult time, (say they play one level over 5 times and they don’t complete it) the game would let the player have one or two lives added to the level, so they could get that chance of winning it. I mean, it’s a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️. All in all, I enjoy playing this game, and I look forward to newer updates and that this game is available for the next generations to come..꾹~모찌7💜Version: 6.7.1

Impossible Unless Lucky in High LevelsI like this game a lot. I’ve even made some in app purchases. But I’m in the 500s now and it’s starting to feel like some levels are “impossible unless you get lucky”. This takes the whole point out of it being a puzzle game. It’s more of a luck game at that point. I’m currently on level 530 and I genuinely can’t beat it because I’m either 1 move too short or the blobs that the boss slug spits out moves to the ONLY spot I could use to make progress in beating the level, which makes it impossible to beat. It just gets more frustrating than fun. I’d be willing to watch ads to get power ups, but I can only watch once for one power up, and even then the power ups are sometimes useless in completing a level. I also can’t use gold to get more moves because there aren’t enough ways to earn gold without paying. Even with the events that you can earn gold in, you can’t replay old levels to earn towards those and you loose everything for the event if you loose a level. It just gets really frustrating. I do really like this game, but the frustrating buts make it so I only play like once a month..PinkBubble101Version: 11.8.3

READ BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD!! Gets to point you can’t go on without spending moneyI have spent probably $200 plus buying gold over time months I have been playing the game. Occasionally I get stuck trying to beat a level for a couple of days. A lot of times I could get past it, but sometimes I would give in and spend the gold. Well I just got to level 1000. They changed the game play. Now you have to beat 5 levels before you will get keys?? But what really killed it for me is that I have not been able to get past a single level without using gold. And I am not talking about just 10 bars for 5 moves. I am having to use multiple bars at each level. The last two levels I have dropped probably 50 bars, or 25 extra moves. I am MORE THAN DONE. I didn’t mind spending money here and there. But I REFUSE to spend money every time I try to play a level. I will be using the rest of my gold and deleting this game. I guess you think that by this level you have people good and hooked, but you just ruined it for me. You will never get another penny from me and I will never download another of your games. I AM DONE!!!.Ginny81Version: 6.4.0

Omg download it NOW NOW NOW NOW!Wow! I heard this game from a ad that said that it’s not like any boring game like this one. It also has very cute creatures! I downloaded it like 1 month ago but it did not download til now! Ugh! I award so mad because it’s like one of the BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED!!! If you going to download it do it now because it’s amazing!!! I usually have a headache because of these kinds of games but this one is not giving me one! That means it’s very fun! It’s so addicting! They don’t even say it’s harder than it looks in the ads ( all other games that say that have very easy lvls)! It has very easy or hard lvls so you don’t get bored! I am not joking this game is not bad but their ads and game tells the truth about the game! If that does not make sense I mean it is one of the few games that tell the truth about the game. Ugh I hate the ones that say “earn real money and some people got some last week” even if they had the same add like 10 times every month. They also said “harder than it looks” but it is no easy and the ad is just being stupid. Plus the lvls are also VERY easy!!! This game is the best!!!.Vienna1969Version: 8.1.3

I don’t usually play mobile games like these but…It’s so addictive. I’ve only had the game a few weeks and I’m already on level 270-something. I play mobile games like Genshin Impact and Wild Rift but, these types of games usually have a bunch of ads that annoy me so much that I don’t want to play the game anymore and usually that ends with me deleting it. I like that there aren’t frequent, forced ads and that you can play pretty continuously without being interrupted. I also really enjoy that there’s always events going on and how easy it is to earn unlimited things like energy and power ups. You don’t really have to make in-app purchases unless you’re actively grinding and running out of everything. My only complaint right now would me that there aren’t options to lower in-game volume. I like to listen to streams and podcasts when I’m playing and the in-game and even though I’ve turned off the music, the sound-effects are super loud. Though there are options to turn both off, I do like hearing the in-game sound effects as I play. If there was an update that would allow for that, that would really be their cherry on top!!.Search_bar_optionVersion: 10.2.5

Fun and addictive and some ideas (players who think best fiends is rigged please read this now).I love best fiends SO much. Definitely a five star game ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.I also have some cool ideas to make it even better. Number one:make new weekly events! This is not me, but some people might be getting tired of the same events every week. Maybe have a different event every day in the next update. Number two: Make the immortal cockroach animation! The game said that there would be TWO new animations, temper’s adventure AND immortal cockroach, but it only gave me temper’s adventure. Number three: make enough new characters to fill all fiend spots. If you are a player, please read this and please encourage it. Thank you developers for making this awesome game 😄!😘. And also I saw a lot of people complaining that it was ridiculous and rigged and other bs crappy lies. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH ALL YOU 🤬🤬🤬HOLES! BEST FIENDS IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED! I have almost never had to spend a single bar to complete a level an I’m on level 175. If you are one of those people, please read this immediately..Momster🧟‍♀️🙂Version: 7.0.1

Surprisingly addictiveThis game is consistently advertised on this podcast I listen to (not another dnd podcast to be specific) and the part about it being able to be played offline caught my attention. I live in an area where data is often bad so having an offline compatible game is very rare but appreciated these days for me. It’s a pretty simple puzzle game but because it’s so easy to play it gets very addicting to just keep going through level after level especially considering how much it rewards you after every win. I prefer playing offline because the amount it tries to bombard you with ads to buy super expensive power ups is crazy!! I’ve played games with micro transactions before and definitely thought it was worth it but looking at what you can buy here vs what it actually gets you it isn’t worth it. Good news is that you can play for free for a long while without feeling like you cap out and have to pay (at least in my experience so far) Anyways shout out to this game for always being talked about on my fave podcasts <3.GamecubethotVersion: 11.1.2

There are too many glitchesThese glitches include stuff like one level I was just doing the same thing I always do and then after I just did like one combination of the yellow flowers it was supposed to move down like it always does but then it didn’t move down it’s just blank in the middle and there were no things blocking it I didn’t know was going on but I’m also here to tell you that but they’re also this glitch when I try to how do I say this well it’s another incident this keeps on happening to me even though the one I was just talking I just discovered I was like what and I had just upgraded the game so and also the other thing I’m going to be talking about is that the slugs the damage points that should the damage points that should’ve had like extra attacks I reached that level and like on the leaves best to do like extra damage to a leaf monster but it just doesn’t need the normal amount of damage when it’s nothing now I’m like a strawberry is used on it that’s weird yeah can you please fix that I’m going to give this a one star.Like scary gameVersion: 9.3.2

Surprisingly EntertainingAfter months of hearing podcast ads I finally caved and downloaded it to try it out. I’ve only been playing for a week, but I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining and difficult it is. It starts out very simple, and I thought I’d delete it. But, then they added more complexities to the match 3 and I found myself failing levels, so I was motivated to keep retrying. I have never run out of energy, there’s always some event with easy achievements which give me unlimited energy for X hours every few levels. I think that’s part of it, they give you unlimited energy all the time because they want you to play it for hours at a time so you keep watching ads. But, for now, the trade off is reasonable. And all the failed levels makes it addicting. All ads are voluntary, which I love, but the rewards are tempting enough (watch an ad and spin the wheel!) I don’t mind watching. And something about them giving me the choice to watch makes me want to watch them..Knally13Version: 9.4.0

Still hooked 3 and half years later!Been playing this game for nearly 3 and a half years and I have to say that while I loved it back then, I'm even more obsessed with it now. A lot of that is due to how much fun the game is, but it's also because the developers really do listen to feedback and actually work to make it a better overall experience with each update. There's so many aspects of this game that keep you coming back: interesting storyline, new challenges, new levels, etc that I couldn't do justice trying to describe them all. I will just say that this is one of the only games I make in-app purchases in, mostly because you don't feel forced into it, and because you don't HAVE to buy anything to win the levels (I really hate the games that limit the play time so much that you feel like you need to constantly buy things just to get anywhere and this game is NOT one of those thank goodness!). Please keep up the great work and thanks for the awesome (addicting) game! :).Frustrated Olympics FanVersion: 7.1.0

Highly addictive and then Highly frustratingWhen I began playing this game I was hooked. It was the most addictive game. And just when I would get frustrated with a level, they would add a move until I was able to complete it. But a few weeks ago, the moves stopped being added. The level would be impossible to complete. And even though there would be messages that they were adding a level, the levels were never added. I wrote in to the developers thinking it was a bug. After a few messages back and forth, they appeared to fix the issue. They were even kind enough to give me some bonuses. But after a few levels, the same issue has happened. Only this time it’s even worse. Not only are they not adding moves but they’re taking them away. I had 28 moves when I got a message that they were adding a level. Not only was that not added but I then had 27 moves. I’m at level 2218 and have never paid for anything in the app. So I’m wondering if it’s their way to force me into a purchase. So I think I’m done with the game. It’s definitely not fun anymore..KC_720Version: 12.4.2

Pay Money To Make The Game Easier 🤣(1) Best Fiends is a legit fun game. Completing a level successfully is a fair mix of thoughtful strategy and luck. Playing thoughtfully INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD of success, but does not guarantee success. When you play, you should be okay with failing a level and repeating multiple times, understanding there’s a luck component to success, particularly with the “hard” and “very hard” levels. (2) Here’s my critical musing of this game: the things Best Fiends wants/asks/nags at you to pay for are power ups to make the game or levels easier to complete. Read that again: “pay money to make the game easier.” How? Spend gold to get more turns to complete a level. Spend gold to power up your Fiends. Spend gold for special items to help you pass levels. Really? Is this what “playing a game” has come to? What a scam! 🤣🤣🤣 No. Just play. Fail. Try again. Try again. Try again. Otherwise you’re literally paying for the psychological reward of feeling “accomplished” when all you did was buy-down the difficulty of the game. 🙄.UncleDunkelVersion: 11.1.2

Love it, but...I love this game! I can play it when I want and come back to it when I feel like it. I took almost a year off of playing it because it started to frustrate me. It was getting too hard to beat a level with out using gold. They’ve made it easier to win gold which is nice. Thank you! And they have some pretty cool games and features now that’s always going instead of having to wait for a new game to start. That’s great. Really one of the best “match” 3 games out there. That’s the reason I’ve played for so many years. BUT, could you PLEASE make a feature that you only have to spend 1-2 gold for ONE extra move instead of 10 gold for 5 moves! If you have both options that would be nice. Because most of the time I just need one more move and I would use 1-2 gold to get it. But not TEN gold. That’s too much and I rather end the level and retry then spend 10 gold (yes even if it’s to loose a long winning streak) This is the main reason I quit playing for so long and I’m about to quit again..Angelforest117Version: 10.0.8

Ethical, irreverent funThis game is the best. I say “ethical” because while purchases are an option, they are NEVER required to succeed. For example, if you’re having a hard time with a level, the game will eventually start adding turns to help you. You can also always get more energy (lives) by simply watching a video, though they have improved the game so much I almost never run out of energy. And it’s just so enjoyable. I work in a high stress job and this is such a delightful way to relax. The games aren’t mindless - if you think about strategy you will progress faster - but if you don’t feel like thinking you can randomly solve too. I love the characters and the music and the thought and the different types of adventures. I love that there are choices about characters. I will occasionally spend money in the game because I’m happy to reward the company for so much entertainment. However I will never spend more than the $2.99 boosts and really wish they would bring $1.99 options back. This money is all for optional things - once again never required to progress. They are constantly improving and I appreciate that. At this point they just need to figure out something we can do with all these stinkin yellow meteorites - I have over 5 million!! Everything else gets used up, but these are just ridiculous. Should have a trade in option for sure. Also would appreciate an “undo” option as sometimes the touch screen misinterprets a move..LaPistolaQueenVersion: 8.9.7

Fun yet frustratingMost of the time I can get through multiple levels with no issues. Then you get to one, sometimes not even one of the “hard” levels and you just can’t get past it. Like another review I read, I think there is an algorithm that does this on purpose in order to encourage people to buy the gold pieces to get more moves. I’ve spent more than I’d like to admit on this game… probably about 35$… on a free app. I have since promised myself to not spend another dime on this game and just deal with getting stuck on a single level sometimes for multiple days. Another issue is no matter how much I play and try to finish a season out completely or any of the daily event things they do I never can finish in it’s entirety. Again, I think it’s a way to entice people to spend money in order to progress more quickly. Nonetheless it’s a fun and addictive game. I like it way more than candy crush or other similar puzzle like games and I can’t blame anyone but myself for spending money on it lol..HerzlosssVersion: 10.7.0

BEST GAME EVERI have only had this game for about a couple weeks and I am OBSESSED!! This is an amazing app with amazing details! The fact that you can defeat the slugs while upgrading your fiends to save Minutia is just the best thing ever! It passes time amazingly and while it can sometimes be frustrating you have to just try again as it is that you didn’t pass the level because you didn’t use your moves carefully enough. I myself have never had a problem with the game. I am on level 156 and stuck on it. My favorite fiend right now is Vega as the Minutian Carnival is going along. It is a great game! This game compared to candy crush is so much better because of everything. The deals are amazing for gold and meteormites. Even if you fail a level you still get something out of it. Every time I’ve failed it’s because I haven’t used my moves carefully enough. If you wanna download this game do it! It is an amazing game and the Best Fiends creator(s) have done and amazing job! Keep up the good work!!😁😁.AtomseyVersion: 6.6.1

This is a temp download type appThis is a freemium app that tries to slowly push you toward paying for things and has a lot of pay pop ups and videos. I just started playing and it says you have to get to level 150 to do quest or something? It seems easy at first to upgrade your fiends but they take a lot of mites to upgrade and evolve if youre going to be casually playing. It seems like only the bomb critters are worthwhile so far. Also the critters arent at random at least lvl 1-34 they appear when you need them. You might get random ones but you will get 4 by then or you can not progress. This event you have to do 30? To get the end prize? And there are breaks in between. So Im not going to even attempt getting them. The extra outfits are cute but 50 gold bars each I think. You start off with 29. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I dont buy extra moves its a waste of gold bars. So is buying keys. They seem to give them out plenty. Its a decent game that once I cant progress enough without. Headache Ill probably move on to another game :) I can see how this game could be a potential money guzzler. The characters are ugly cute..MsvoyVersion: 6.2.1

SERIOUS GREED SHOULD BE ILLEGALNonstop ads even after paying through the nose for in app purchases. Everything in the game costs gold/gems. 10 gold is basically $1. It’s,what you pay to skip a level. Want boost for 20 minutes? $6 in gold. Want boost for 30 minutes? $10 in gold. Want an epic character? $20-$35 in gold. Want to level up your characters? Up to $10 - $100 in diamonds depending on levels. 2 “free” spins of wheel every 10 minutes. Wow, you say, wait there’s a catch, no matter how much money you fed into the game if you want to spin the wheel you have to watch a 30-second ad, so 2 so-called free spins requires 2 30-second ads. Seriously, this is a $10-$20 game at best, but it plays like a slot machine into which you must feed $$$. Don’t know what I’m saying you think? I’m on level 675, been playing over 9 months. All my bugs are max level. Apple needs to stop all this in app purchases stuff. We’re being ripped off left and right. $1 billion dollars in this game already.DadMom15Version: 7.8.2

Best fiendsBest fiends is THE BEST GaME EVER!!! It's so addicting even when your barely in level 2 it's still really fun and the higher levels you go up to the more funner it gets. I'm only in level 65 but it's still pretty good and I'm not sure how many levels there are in best fiends but since I live best fiends SO MUCH I hope it doesn't ever end! I'm no where close in finishing the game but that's the best part because the game is so addicting you want to win even more so when you don't win you start playing again and again and again until you win I have to say that before I didn't actually like the game I thought it was boring but after I started playing the game I am and was so addicted like every single day I have to defeat at least one level because it's so awesome so this is definitely five stars if your not sure if you're going to like this game. Don't worry because it's awesome and pretty soon you won't be able to put down your phone. BEST GAME EVER!! Go download it now.Ales U.Version: 5.7.7

Love this game but progress has stalledI’ve been playing this game for years and have spent a LOT of money to beat all the available levels. The progress to Mount doom used to be very consistent until lately all new levels have been grouped into one stop along the path. I really don’t like this. Part of the allure was moving through the different territories with the hope of finally seeing Mount Doom. Now instead of moving you through the territory one level at a time, it is grouping five or six games into one stop in order to stall your progress through the current territory. Are we ever going to see Mount doom or are you just going to keep stringing us along? Without an end in sight it’s becoming less interesting. If I am going to continue to keep spending money, I’d at least like to see some progress and some new developments/ideas...otherwise it’s just the same thing over and over again. Come on developers! We want to see Mount Doom!!!.MarlaBallaVersion: 6.2.1

A Fun Escape from a Busy DayI started playing this game maybe two months ago, but that hasn’t dampened the fun this game is. I’m currently on level 247. This game gives you opportunities to advance when you get stuck, but it also provides enough bonuses and events that it isn’t always a pay to win scenario. It also has rotating timed objectives, so you aren’t constantly on the same objective all the time. Even if you don’t beat a level the game still rewards you by giving you a small reward. All around this game is entertaining, fun, and a pleasant way to entertain yourself for five minutes or three hours(which may be an amount of time I’ve actually spent playing this game). Also in the beginning don’t feel you have to purchase items, I’m only buying them because I have gift cards available to do so. The game rewards you and gives you enough opportunities that if you use the prizes wisely, you won’t need to buy anything..Katiekitty oVersion: 6.9.1

Sooo many pop upsI have played this game for years and have spent so much money lol, but the pop ups are not just extremely annoying, as many other reviewers have said but you don’t seem to listen, but they have made me lose out on things I’ve purchased. So many times I’ve bought the mega boost but when I finish a level and try to move on to the next in a hurry, I have to go through so many pop ups that I lose that time on the mega boost. I’ve been ready to move onto the next level and still have mega boost time left but when I’m done going through the pop ups, the mega boost times out. To me, you’re stealing my money when this happens. Almost all of the negative reviews are about your pop ups so come on, make an option to opt in and out of what you want to see before you lose more players. I’ve seen your replies that you don’t want players to miss out on “all the great deals” so this is why there’s so many pop ups, but you don’t need to tell us about them after every. single. level..KWag01Version: 12.0.3

Not that I don’t want to support the makers but I could easily get hooked into buying a bit here and there. Besides it makes it more challenging when you don’t have the extra help!

Best Fiends - Match 3 Puzzles Negative Reviews

Challenging game in all the wrong waysI played this game for years, but stopped after the levels started getting too hard to beat without making purchases. But during the pandemic I started up again, and found it to be an addicting game once again. But over the last few months I’ve become more frustrated with the game than enjoying it. They are constantly popping up packages for me to buy, and often I have to click through seven or eight pop-up screens before I can finally start playing a level. And I can’t count the number of times I’ve been just one move away from beating a level, but yet run out of moves so I have to start all over again. It also has issues when it isn’t constantly connected to Wi-Fi. Being in New York and mostly playing on the subways, I’m in and out of coverage. The game doesn’t like this and has issues with saving my progress. I’ve lost gold and other extras and had to repeat levels I’ve already been, and if I close my phone in the middle of a game because I need to do something else, there’s a 50-50 chance that the game will just restart when I open it up again, losing any win streak I’ve built up. To make it all worse their customer service is not that great and quite repetitive when it comes to fixing issues I presented to them, they just keep sending me the same things to try that aren’t really related to my issue. So I am now on the hunt for a new game..PojonesVersion: 10.3.1

Why Two Stars?Why two stars you ask? Well, to ME it’s a bit boring. I would have rate this game a one star, but I know how much the developers worked, so I gave ‘em a star for effort. I know your probably saying this person is stupid for this review! But here me out. The ad is bad. I have suggestions, and my reasons. So first, don’t use two different people for your ad. I just makes the person think, “Oh! They obviously have a script and might not really feel that way. Their mom or family is probably NOT addicted to this game.” Second, I don’t think you should put a person to say it, because then it just makes it even MORE obvious that they have a script. Now your thinking, “Well, wouldn’t everybody’s day have a script; even when there is no person.” Yes, that’s true, BUT! It’s always a different feeling when you see somebody. Third, since you had two people do the ad, don’t use almost the same exact words. Choose different words! Use that opportunity to explain more about the game! Well, that’s all for the ads. Now, the game. Please, please, PLEASE, make it more interesting in the beginning. That’s how you catch attention. Second, well there is no second. The beginning of the game is a BIG role in the game. Now to the good things about the game. It’s better than other puzzles at least. If I download a puzzle game, I seem deleting it the next day. What can I say? Beating “evil” slugs can somewhat be fun! Try it out! See what I mean. Thanks for hearing me out, if you did..Littleblue334Version: 8.0.1

Too many events—feels like a choreI don't know what it is with games these days, but the never-ending events have got to go. They end up making playing feel like a chore, and like I don't have much say in how I play the game, since pretty much everything I do revolves around completing tasks. I hoard keys, I don't level up fiends unless asked, I don't play lootballoon levels unless asked, I don't try for harder earthworm levels, I only play the fiends' quests when asked, etc. It's exhausting and demotivating. I spend most of a month frantically trying to finish all of the tasks (which now are thirty lists of three tasks each, instead of, like, ten lists of three tasks each). Then I get two days where I don't have to look at it, rinse and repeat. I'm starting to lose motivation. I really, really like the mechanics of the game and the different daily events and special levels, but I just don't feel like I get to enjoy them. A few events a year should be plenty, and keep them feeling special. But twelve events in twelve months (for a total of 24 prizes) is excessive. I don't feel like I can play the events casually; either I'm going to try to get the prizes, or I'm just not going to play. I have deleted plenty of games before for this, because they just stop being fun. I'm nearing that point with best fiends. My heart just sinks every time a new event starts, and that's just not how I want to feel when I open a game I like. The game would be five stars if not for that..ChasingsheepVersion: 7.8.1

The covert changes are too much of a cash grabKing changed its in game shop recently to reorder and reprice its offerings, without disclosing that they were doing this. I’ve noticed this practice in other games they publish but this particular change is so extreme it’s hit the pain point. Looks like the price has close to doubled on some items. I was a fairly regular customer at previous (still not cheap) prices but this is off the charts and I’m gone. They won’t ever tell you that they’ve changed or what they’ve changed, perhaps in an attempt to see what revisions give them the highest revenues. For example, someone just had the bright idea of reversing listed prices so the most expensive item is now listed on the top and the cheapest on the bottom, when it was previously listed cheapest to most expensive, and I very much doubt they would ever refund you if you just clicked the old spot in error. Also they added to some of the items a few hours of what they call VIP time which essentially just removes ads, forcing you to buy this to get the same level of currency at what looks to be double the price. The tired argument they will make is that it’s marketing and they are not making you buy it. True, but that only gets them so far. They lost a smaller stream of revenue in an attempt to elicit a bigger one, and for me at least it pushes over to other of their games..Atlanta888Version: 7.4.0

Designed to be deceptive and waste your timeThis game is totally rigged. Of course in the beginning, to get you hooked it lets you win all the easy levels, but as the levels increase, it purposefully makes you lose consistently. Then after several attempts, you suddenly win only to go back into the same cycle of loosing. There is no logic to how you win or lose. Even with strategy, the game will screw with your setups so you lose. I can tell just by looking at the layout of a level whether it’s going to let me win or not because the layout never looks the same even though it’s the same level. And my predictions are right every time. For instance, whenever I lose, the setup of charms are so scattered that it’s nearly impossible to create chains for a higher hit and I think to myself I’m never going to pass. But then after losing several times, the layout will suddenly not be scattered and have a bunch of charms already set up for a big blow making it super easy to win all of a sudden. That makes this game very questionable. This is not random, It’s definitely a pattern. It is as if the outcome is predetermined before I even start playing. I will continue to play this game to pass the time but the novelty has definitely wore of real quick with this realization and eventually I will delete..ChickenbirdbrainVersion: 5.3.0

Best FiendsI was at a 5 star! BUT, hold on to your money, I got up in the 400 level and this game is rigged just like slot machines! I on a particular area and I need green and blue like let’s 80 each. I was able to get the green with no problem. Oh, also you have to knock off 5 different times a character chosen by the game. So you can get that down as well but you have think things through. Anyhow, to continue on if you are not able to accomplish this task in let’s say 20 moves. If you can’t, you can receive 5 more moves for 10 gold. You can’t get gold unless you purchase it. And you better purchase, real money by the way, gold before you actually run out, otherwise you can get 20 gold and some other stuff for 4.99 or buy 150 gold for 9.99. Do the math, what would you do. Ok, in order to beat this one level, I had to use my gold 10 times which is a 100 gold. WHY? I could not get any blue items! If you did get some they would give you one or two at a time! You have to have three in any combo: horizontal, vertical, diagonal. So that means it took 50 moves to get 15 blue color items. This happens all the time! Save your money don’t make these game developers get rich! What a flipping joke. It was a blast for a long while. Not any more!!! Just deleted all my games! Hello world!! NO MORE GAMES FOR ME! ALL LITTLE $1.99, $4.99, and $9.99 ALL ADD UP!!.MLC1462Version: 7.1.1

The whole game is a trick to keep you playing...After playing this game for a while, it is clear that the programming does not allow you to win until you’ve either played the level many times or if you haven’t played the game in a while. After you win, it will let you win a few more levels before becoming impossible to beat again. You’re at the mercy of what the game allows, there is no true “strategy” to win other than to work with what you’re given and hope the game gives you what you need. It has nothing to do with how “hard” the levels are. Plus, it used to save your game whenever you closed the app which was appealing for people who just want to play when they have a short break from something instead of spending hours on their phone playing a game. Now, it will make you start over if a day or so has passed since you last played. Please stop advertising this game as a “puzzle” when puzzles should always have a possible winning outcome. My ability to win is at the mercy of the way the game is programmed. Waste of time... I suggest downloading brain game apps that will actually make you smarter like Elevate. This game is just as mindless as the silly games involving candy. You shouldn’t encourage people to waste their time thinking they’re helping their brain function better..RuledbythemoonVersion: 8.3.1

Would’ve been higher if it weren’t for the progressionI do enjoy this game, but like… dear god is the difficulty scaling all over the place. I understand some levels should be a challenge, but there’s a difference between challenging and “bashing your head against the wall until you get really lucky with RNG because that’s the Only way you can beat this level” Some of the “hard” levels are pushovers, but a lot of the levels not marked hard can take an hour to get past because all you can do is do it Over and Over and Over Again until the game decides it’ll let you through. There’s no “hey you’re struggling a lot here’s a boost!” stuff, you gotta either suffer it through or, yknow, spend money. It seems like the end of each area gets clunkier and clunkier with its difficulty and it just gets really discouraging to be constantly losing your extra moves because someone thought making a diagonal half-board with a kill And crate objective would be “fun”. Overall the game could really use some smoothing out if not just some kind of function so you don’t end up feeling completely discouraged because this “normal” level has become a complete roadblock due to how obscenely lucky you need to get in order to pass it..Chronos AstraVersion: 10.2.7

Strategic Money GrabSure, it’s “free to play”. At first, you have fun playing the levels, and you’ll get to the point where you feel like your skill is really being tested as a casual player. Before you know it, you’re time-locked from playing levels unless you’re spending money—and the developers have set it up so that if you’re on a winning streak you’re much more enticed to spend MORE money to not lose your free benefits from actually doing well. I’ve spent $40 on this game and yet somehow I’m stuck on an “easy” level in the 800s despite feeling like I’m pretty good at playing it when I haven’t spent money. The levels are spaced out so that if you don’t pay any money you’ll be frustrated by getting “stuck” playing the same level 30 times (they’ll throw in 2 minutes of “premium boost” every once in awhile to show you that if you just spend $4 for 3 minutes then these next few INSANELY hard levels could be SoOoOOo easy!) and if you do spend money on small boosts and their “deals” you’ll be downright furious because you’ll get strategically hit with a hard level after your boosts have run out. I’m done. Thanks best fiends, I’m over it—and will warn anyone I can..♥music♥ luverVersion: 11.0.1

Nickel and Dime SimulatorThis game is meant to nickel and dime you slowly. Just like any other predatory free to play game, it’s just not free. This game relies heavily on RNG (Random Numbers Generator) in later stages. “Difficulty” is simulated by the board providing you with poor matches. You won’t notice this in the first 100 or so levels, but the “difficulty” ramps up decently every 100 levels. I’m half way through the 400’s and it’s to the point where every other level is extremely “difficult.” This difficulty is just simulated by RNG and luck. Keep in mind, I’m not giving in to buying more moves because I find this mechanic extremely predatory and “pay to win,” literally. If you want to spend the money to keep buying moves, you can and the game won’t stop you. I’ve probably spent around $20-$30 on this game and I’m just done. It’s money grubbing and not worth the money I’ve spent. It’s not rewarding in any sense. Note to the Devs: I’ve seen support try to convince players that every level has been tested and can be passed with the number of moves given. This is only true when RNG is on the player’s side which is way less often in later stages. I find this statement by the devs untruthful and this claim should never be made in a game that uses the same logic a slot machine does..MoshPunk08Version: 7.3.2

A set upI’ve played more than 2600 levels. After that many it becomes abundantly clear that the game is programmed so you can’t win without trying each level 25+ times. You’ll finish many with just one move needed and you’ll never get the thing you need to get it. Further, if you watch the way the stuff drops, you’ll notice that the tile you needed and planned to drop, magically hovers while other tiles drop around or through it. I’ve gotten good at knowing within my first three moves if I’m going to beat the level or not. Sometimes you’ll have levels to beat that take ten more moves than you start with, other times you’ll win some minutes of a very special booster, only to have pops up appear nonstop that eat up that time so when you actually get to play you have about half the time remaining to use the special boost. You can play this game for free, but expect to spend a long time on almost every level, even if it’s not a hard level. Diminishing returns as you level up have made this game exhausting and sucked the fun right out of it. Before you waste your time down this path, don’t say you weren’t warned..Maj__AlVersion: 11.4.0

Fun but greedyI’ve had a good time with this game for a while, but am erasing it because it is greedy and aggressive in its monetization strategy. I understand needing to make money. I would love to support its development, but at the level of a few dollars, not $30-50/mo (what I have calculated it would take to make meaningful progress in the game). While it is possible to progress in the game without making a purchase, it is slow and frustrating. The number of times I have gotten to the end of a level and am one move away from winning, is countless. I have taken multiple screenshots as examples but unfortunately can’t post them for you to see. In short, the new fruits and the power-ups both appear to generated/placed by a rigged algorithm which lets you win sometimes, but forces you to lose most of the time. It ultimately uses gambling-like dopamine manipulation to push significant in game spending (gold, etc), and real money spending. This is in addition to the video ads they offer to get “free” resources, which do not contribute much to game progress. Much appreciated but no longer fun..Djprints-33Version: 9.5.2

Ice cream race event is terrible.I’ve been playing so long I’ve actually completed all of the regular and hero levels. The new event is ridiculous, if you have to roll a 3 to land on a space to win a reward, and say you roll 2 die at once and get a 3 and a 5, it will use the 5 first before the 3 so you don’t land on the reward. Not to mention how LONG it takes to even get enough clovers to get a dice. Most other events when you finish a level it will clear out any remaining bombs on the board and give you the collectibles needed for the current events. This one relies on you defeating slugs which is awful if one of your level requirements is to defeat like 5 slugs, once you defeat your 5 no more appear. The “first try win” for the stars for purple dice doesn’t work. I am currently on a win streak of 40 levels (only because my app crashed mid level and ruined the longer one) but I’ve literally gotten 1 purple dice. I just finished using a mega boost where I finished 17 levels and didn’t get a purple dice even though every single one was a first try win. My one purple dice I got rolled a 2 and I didn’t even get a single reward. What a waste of time..MollyymyVersion: 9.5.2

Causes phone to overheatThis latest version causes phone to over heat. Screen brightness is low, iPhone Xs Max. This only happens when this app is running. Once killing the app the phone cools down even when in use with other apps. This did not happen with version prior to this..Flipcity37Version: 7.0.1

Frustrating Game to PlayI loved playing this game and have played almost 5000 levels. The ads that we must watch to advance the game are corrupt and seize up the IPad, forcing a reboot numerous times..BungopeteVersion: 10.7.0

The biggest issue with best fiendsThey patched out Jojo’s stand so I give it one star.Massive weebVersion: 7.5.2

Like feeding dog at the table. It’s never satisfied.Played this when it first came out. Loved it, but took a break. Just tried it again two days ago, and wow has it changed. Non stop pop ups asking you for money, and not ads, their own pop ups. It never stops. It only seems to get more frequent the further you get in the game. Game is great, but the experience is terrible. I’m afraid to spend money, because it seems like you could never spend enough, they would never be happy..VideogamelorVersion: 10.9.0

Pop upsI like this game but holy can u chill with how many pop ups come when u first open the app.Jugs124676433357753Version: 10.7.0

It used to be funI really like the game but with the last update we don’t have access to all the events unless you pay. I’m really disappointed with the last version..CybelejolicoeurVersion: 10.3.1

ManipulativeThere are many aspects of this game that are fun, and the graphics are great. But the main problem is that it manipulates the difficulty of tasks in order to frustrate you into purchasing upgrades. Enjoy the game, but unless you’re going to make $$$ purchases, be prepared to play some levels many, many times before you’ll be able to proceed..NeutrinoManVersion: 10.2.6

Not workingIt’s a great game! but i put two stars because it isn’t picking up that i’m still matching the colours. so for example when i’m matching a bunch of one, it will only take like four before i’m done. super frustrating because the game is amazing but is 2x as hard to beat when you can’t get to the requirements needed to beat it..Its MelinaVersion: 8.8.5

Update Sucks.I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE NEW UPDATE!!!! This puzzle stuff is extremely annoying I miss the old version... now it’s completely ruined, it’s no fun anymore....BluebirdlsVersion: 8.1.0

New updateI hate how you changed the game.Burr 12/28Version: 8.0.0

TrashStop begging and making levels unwinnable if you don’t purchase!.Michael SolimanVersion: 11.0.2

Better if it wasn’t rigged!This game is rigged, you can only win some levels if you pay or they’ll make you play the same level over and over and over again so irritating..MickmackmuckVersion: 7.9.0

JokeOn The first screen they want you to allow tracking and if you don’t agree, you can’t continue. What a joke!.Chana's 1969Version: 12.7.1

Doubled the price of seasons!Suddenly doubled the price of seasons this month, and apparently not for all users..Sab1111Version: 12.7.0

Too many pop ups in gameThe game is fun but it has too many pop ups within the game. Some dont have an x to get out..Jenne1234567890Version: 12.4.2

Likely Not randomGame is likely rigged to encourage spending in-game currency. Have had far too many puzzles where they were just a little too hard and then suddenly, after many tries, I pass them with 3 turns to spare. There are games where everything drops your way, and then other times the matches are all small and your bombs are thrown away from their colour. And often I’m left with zero turns but an obvious win on the map if I just spend those gold bars..KoalaBrownieVersion: 12.3.4

Used to be FunThis used to be such a fun game! Unfortunately, now they make challenges so short and so hard it is impossible to win which takes all the fun out of the game. They have also cut back energy so you can’t even watch ads more often than every 10 minutes for more energy. It feels like they don’t even want you to play anymore. ETA: I’m specifically talking about the challenges, where you have 6 days and have to win multiple levels to get one dice or bat that moves you one space. Or having to win 11 levels or 7 levels on a first try in one day in order to get the points necessary to move ahead in the challenge. That isn’t attainable, realistic, or fun. ETA 2: I don’t care about “progressing in the game”. I care about being able to win the challenges I start. Please listen. 🫠.MillenialBarbieVersion: 12.2.4
