MatchVentures: Match 3 Games

Game reminds me of Cave Quest in that the board represents various rooms with obstacles to reach the treasure, and we do move to other areas to complete each level. There are pipe puzzles, PvE battles ( my favorite), sudoku puzzles, and slots mini games. No timed levels, but moves are limited. Updating castles can get you additional moves, though. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT make in-game purchases, however. If the transaction fails to go through you are stuck. The website listed for the developer is a monetization contractor, so no help there. If you do manage to reach the devs for restitution they may be able to correct the issue through an update, but you will lose your money nonetheless. Enjoy the game and the many, many ads for bonuses, but do not buy in-app purchases!

I really love this game, for the most part. The sound effects of smashing crates, etc., are very satisfying, and the fact that there are no time limits on levels is great. I’m fine with watching adds to give me additional moves. I wish there were more strongholds to build, but that’s fine, too. What I have an issue with is the frequency with which the game freezes—usually when you click to watch an ad to double rewards or to add moves for Bingo. Those will sometimes reset if you just leave the game for a few hours. Twice now, though, I’ve had issues that won’t reset. The first time (I was around level 320), one of my castles needed repairs, but the selection to make the repairs wasn’t available. I deleted the game then reloaded it, which unfortunately meant I had to start from the beginning. Now I’m on level 387. The first room worked as expected. In the second room, however, the room itself appears, but none of the helms, bottles, etc., appear. The message that there are no more possible moves shows up, makes the sounds as if pieces are being reshuffled, but it’s still an empty room, with repeated messages that there are no more possible moves. I don’t want to delete this game and start over again, because I enjoy it so much. Please, please fix this! Without all the glitches, I would have given this game a 5-star rating for sure.

I am really enjoying playing this game. Hadn’t played this kind of game before, and am pleasantly surprised. One thing I really appreciate is the ability to set your own pace, no clocks counting down the minutes and seconds, which always tends to make me tense up and goof up. One small thing needs to be fixed though; a couple of the ads (and I “watch” many ads) which are not game ads, but other types, like pages from a website, give you no way to get back to the game! You are forced to quit the game and hope your progress is saved. Arggghh! Please fix, and this old girl would be very happy! I’ve come back to say that I’m still enjoying this game very much, and play it quite a bit. But today, there are all kinds of problems with the ads cropping up. I click to watch an ad, and get a blank screen, nothing happening. I close it down, and lose the bump up in gold. This is happening over and over. I don’t mind the ads, but I do mind losing gold or other items. And the problem with the ads I mentioned in the first paragraph still is a problem. Please folks, fix this!
