Merge Block: Star Finders

This is a great game. Well, when it works, it’s great. I have iPhone 7. Did phone update to v13.2, to stay current. At the same time Merge Block did an update. Now when I play the game, every time I get to level 15 or level 20 or even pause, an ad comes up, which is fine, but once the ad is done, there is no going back to continue my game. It goes completely black and I cannot get back into game. I thought this was a great stress reliever, now I’m not sure. Hoping it gets fixed soon. I love this game and play it every day. Let’s go back to 5 stars 🤩 Update: Incredibly, I have received a response from the developer saying it’s being looked in to and worked on. Not sure what has happened but everything is working as it should and doing what it is supposed to!👍 Thank you to Bitmango for caring enough to read reviews and try to correct problems. Back to 5 Stars!!🤩🤩

I really like this game because it really gets my brain thinking. It’s like Tetris mixed with puzzle challenge. My only problem with this game is that after every ad the game basically crashes. The screen will go light grayish color and when you click on it nothing happens and if you wait awhile nothing happens. I literally have to reload my game after every ad. Since I play a lot it is really annoying to have to exit it out all together to restart it. If I wasn’t into games that challenge my brain I would probably have deleted immediately. I’ve only been playing for two maybe three days. If i could give two rating i totally would . I’m given it 3 stars because it crashes way to much. Second rating would be a 5 because despite the crashes after ever ad the game itself I really do like and if you like challenging your brain then it’s worth a try.

I really HATE most timed games...this one particularly. I play games for fun and to RELAX - NOT TO GET SO TENSED UP THAT MY STOMACH CHURNS AND I END UP GETTING ULCERS OVER IT!!! That’s what this game is doing within only a few minutes of trying to play it. Players need more time to think out their moves and this game does not allow you to do that whatsoever!! When it popped up while playing another game, it looked like it would be a lot of fun. It was great for just a short while as I love almost any kind of match games but with this one I still have no idea of what I’m supposed to be doing...especially when the blocks start sticking together and can no longer be moved around freely. A lot of good instructions are badly needed!!! I do like challenges and my IQ is somewhat above average but how you can say this would be good for a 4 yr old to play is beyond belief. I think even a 4 yr old genius would have trouble with this. So thanks but no thanks. I will leave it to the 4+ geniuses and go back to something much more fun. .

I used to love playing this game everyday. My high school was around 148 if I recall. -Ads have gotten worse. Before I even moved my screen a bit (thanks iPhone 11🙄), id get an ad and would just turn on airplane mode or be very careful. Now even pressing the PAUSE button starts up and ad. The PAUSE button. First time that happened I was so confused I forgot what I was doing once the ad stopped and pressed the game to continue by mistake and had to repeat it all over again (Yes ad and all) -Difficulty level changed/raised for everyone with no choice. No one had a choice in the level of difficulty being raised (which coincidentally means more ads just to get through and I can’t even pay my way out with the coins anymore). There is no option for an easier mode or a harder mode. -The New Power ups weren’t explained, we were FORCED to use one and not compensated. It might seem nit picky but I gaurentee you they’re not free so to waste one of ours against our will without even telling us what It does was really frustrating. Just another excuse for the developers to make money. I have always wanted power ups in the game but this was a bad way to implement it. -Overall the Experience is more confusing, frustrating, and unenjoyable. Please fix it.

Personally liked where the game was at before the update. It was fun and challenging, but not impossible and frustrating like it is now. Now the times are significantly shorter making it nearly impossible to get the scores I was getting before the recent update. They give you more “tools” to use, but that means when you run out of tools, they will need to be purchased with coins that you are likely going to have to buy with real currency since you only get a small handful of coins after each game, even with a large score. Setting mindless games like this up to where getting decent scores is based off of money you put in, rather than skill, is such a turnoff and creates such a high turnover rate, which in the end just creates another failed gaming app. Nice goin.
