Velvet Tiles

Got the game a couple months ago and quickly bought the no ad option. Terrific game! Got hard around level 1000, and I couldn’t pass levels after 1500, so I deleted the game and started from the beginning again. There wasn’t an option to restore purchase, so I played with ads. Then I discovered that removing ads, removed ALL ads, even the optional ones, like the ability to open all 9 chests by watching a couple ads. Also the ability to watch an ad and have the last 3 selections disappear and the board shuffle. I will again purchase the no ads if it only stopped the ad in the middle of playing and the ad to begin the next game. I’ll still watch ads for the above mentioned perks. Not worth it to stop ads!

Update: they have improved somewhat (perhaps?), but added some other random twists to the gameplay. Seems slightly better tuned, but I wish it was still a simple delightful game. I’ve been playing constantly while listening to audiobooks for several years seems to be gone. Sad! Update: they have completely broken this game. They added a bunch of different tile types and made it so it’s incredibly difficult to win, even with the VIP slot and redo. I’m upset! They also remove the daily gift, the spinning wheel of prizes, and added a coin system that there is no way to replenish without purchase. Cash grab. Original review: This game is wonderful! I really wanted a simple, no frills game that would not interfere with listening to audiobooks. This one fits the bill. The formula is incredibly simple but the gameplay provides exactly the right balance of random chance and strategy, and winnability. Pay for the VIP membership and you get three times the free daily gift, free one-time continue, and an extra slot for tiles. It actually removes all of the ads and doesn’t ever bug you again. I have told a bunch of friends and it has become our go to game

An update: I purchased the VIP Pass, and what a difference. Zero ads really does mean ZERO - how refreshing. Some games I’ll pay to remove ads, but still have to watch one for a revive or bonus multiplier. So 3+ bucks well spent. And I’m glad I can replay earlier levels, because I’m on one now that I just can’t get past, so playing easier levels is a nice break. While the ads are understandably intrusive for a free game, sadly the Daily Bonus Triple Reward for watching an ad never works for me. I receive the ad, but (unlike the others during regular gameplay) it has no way of closing. The video ad plays - sometimes for 60 seconds or longer - then stops, but no “X” to press to close it. I’ve tried every trick I can think of - no go. Since Triple Bonus is the quickest free way to earn game helps, it’s a daily disappointment.😢
