I've played this game for years... Then they started these ads at the top of the screen that freeze gameplay until finished. Due to location you can't hit the X to stop the add. Your only option is to either click on add & back out, or wait for the add to play. Originally, it was one per round, now it's every 30-60 seconds. I've read reviews & many ppl are not happy with this new update. Support: stop asking players to take a screenshot & do your work 4 u. Just play & u will see!

This game has become impossible to play. The ads completely take over your screen, and there's no way to close them apart from backing out of the level or clicking on the ad. Backing out of the level causes the level to reload, which causes a new ad to load. in the last level that I attempted to play, it took me 10 minutes to make one move. It's a shame because I used to love this game, but now it's completely unplayable.

Perfect game for relaxing. Just challenging enough to not have to strain the brain too much. I would have given 5 stars except for too many ads. I know they are needed to compensate for the game to be free but when it feels like I'm spending the same amount of time (or more) watching ads than I am playing the game it makes me lose interest in the game. I have uninstalled plenty of good games for this reason. If you want to pay the price to remove the ads its a fair price and I suggest it.
