Everytime you start to win a difficult level, you have a 2/3 chance of the game randomly opening a Web page and redirecting you to your browser where theres a fake scam alert saying your device is infected with viruses. This only ever happens when you're winning a level and when you go back to the app it resets and loses all your progress. It literally has a pop up ad virus to stop you from winning. This is disingenuous, slimey, and a con by the greedy devs to profit off your frustration.
Reviews for Wool Crush - Yarn Color Sort
← Back to Wool Crush - Yarn Color SortNice game but the paths are so short and the dragon moves too fast sometimes. You can try to strategies but like someone else said, in the end it's just based on luck and/or 'buying' your win. The app will also randomly redirect me to a random web page sometimes even though I didn't click any ads/banners.
So I'm on level 8. Been on level 8 for a LONG time now. I am 95% sure that you HAVE to purchase mulitple wool slots (which costs gold or Ads) to beat the level. Which is god awful design. It's a total bummer cuz the game is actually fun and makes you use your brains. 2 stars just incase I'm wrong and I'm playing like a dummy.
This game is IMPOSSIBLE without watching ads. I'm not bad at video games, so these kind of games are no problem for me usually. I however mostly refuse to watch ads ESPECIALLY for a game using AI (which is the case here). I tried the level 8 like 20 times or more, and it's impossible. You will always get stuck and need to watch AT LEAST 2 ads (that are 40 seconds long) to unlock more slots. This is predatory, I wish there was still genuine mobile games developers. They do not exist anymore lol.
Could be fun, as there's a "puzzle" element to accessing the colours you need; but it's impossible to progress beyond the first level without watching long, repetitive ads to unlock extra reel slots each round (and you CANNOT complete the level without doing all three slots). I don't mind ads in a free game, but not when it's more than 75% of the time you spend playing it - it takes about 2 mins to play a level, but you literally have to watch 3x 2 min ads... EVERY level. Uninstalled.
Awful! This game looks fun on the surface but is nothing but a waste of time where they want you to watch ads so they can make money. The colors of the cars you need dont appear as often as they should and they up the difficulty if you solve a level too quickly. It's shameful and just not fun after the first few levels, I barely made it to level 9 before the stupid dragon started moving faster which cuts yoyr thinking time down.
They drew me in with a lack of ads and fun gameplay but all of a sudden there were a lot of ads, and the difficulty spiked until I hit a level I am fairly certain I can't beat without using items/bonus abilities. I want to be able to solve the puzzle without using things that feel like cheats to me. Especially because if it becomes normal to rely on items, what'll happen when I run out? (I'll have to buy some.)
Currently at lv13, Can be difficult in the beginning, you can retry the levels without ads. Graphics are cute. Game is like the ad. lv20ish - I wish the dragon was always 2+ dragons, the 1 dragon gets a bit repetitive for me. The ads between completing the level & being able to move past the level is smart. Means the player has to watch the ad to progress. It be cool if there was more to do? I haven't spent any of my coins yet & I probably won't. Could the collected items be used for more?
Once you get to level 20 it starts forcing you into ads without your consent. want to get to the next level? you'll have to watch the ad. want to retry? you'll have to watch an ad. want to go back to the home screen? ad. It's a genuinely fun game. But the ads absolutely kill it. The thing that really gets me is that I voluntarily watch ads to get power ups and second tries, so why lose me as a revenue source by forcing ads down my throat until I uninstall the app?
This game is less puzzle & more luck/pay simulator. both the "puzzle" & the luck can be bypassed with money. The spools are fixed, but the dragon is randomized in a way that *doesn't* check the spools to make sure it's possible to win. The free powerups are useless. slowing down the dragon? Now you're not doing anything cause it has to be close enough for the spools to work. Pushing the dragon back? Same problem. The *only* good part about this game is ads aren't directly forced.
It quickly becomes a case of "watch a dozen ads or the level cannot be won." Another issue is with how the game jumps into the action, let me hit "go" because I am only half paying attention. The power ups are all useless. Not nearly enough of the screen has the dragon in it, which makes him hard to deal with.
I WANT to rate higher but it needs some work. this is a cute game and its fun, but i dont think ive ever played a game that felt so openly antagonistic, as if it actively despised me for trying to play. the levels are borderline impossible to beat without boosters, and yet i had to do just that because every time i watched an ad, it would play through and then restart the game as though i was logging on for the first time or it would cut out and reset me mid game. i got to LV20 before giving up.
there's an ad at the end of every level. but the level doesn't count as complete unless you get through the ad. however at 107 the game is almost constantly crashing during the ad which means there are several levels that I've had to play multiple times because the game crashes during the final ad. GET RID OF THE AD! SPECIFICALLY THAT ONE AT THE END OF THE LEVEL!
This is an enjoyable game. Contrary to what others say, I believe it is always possible to win a level without unlocking more slots, however you need to be very focused on using the right spools at the right time and have a good strategy. Eventually the game will force you to watch ads after every level and the dragon move so fast that it's just not fun. Until then it was a nice journey.
Possibly the worst gameplay of any 'casual mobile game' I've ever played. The whole game is praying you're lucky enough to get a combo of colors you're actually able to send out. The dragon's track is way too short to make playing the game fun. I shouldn't be having to restart a level at least ten times before reaching level ten. The only thing this game accomplishes is giving me a headache.
It's fine, BUT... EVERY time I try to watch an ad for the booster, the game closes entirely, and I lose ALL of the progress I made on that level. When I start the level again, all my boosters are gone, too. The game also closes when tapping on new wool colors to add them to the board. The game is fine, but VERY unstable. It needs a lot of work.
I'm on level 279. it's fun, but I'm about to throw in the towel. people exaggerate the impossibility. there are occasional levels that are literally impossible, but there are plenty of powerups without ads to overcome these. my problem is the duration of the barricades that started around level 275. they do actually make it impossible. update: I just updated the game and the barriers are gone. 5 stars. thanks, devs.
Awesome game. Just the right amount of challenging. One of the best mobile games I've played in a long time. But the ads are just ridiculous. An ad when you lose a level, an ad when you win a level, ads if you need a boost. The ads take 30 seconds and three to five taps to exit. $8 for no ads seems steep to me. Take out ads when you win a level, and I'll make it five stars.
Fun and cute, gameplay as advertised. Like other reviews have stated, at first you don't have to watch ads to play unless you want extras. It gets difficult quickly to where you can't win without extras. Some ads are to be expected, but these are LONG and multiple in a row. As I progressed, it's now forcing an ad each level whether you win or lose. About to uninstall as I'm spending more time in ads than playing. Too bad because I like the game otherwise.
Game is cute and gameplay is genuinely fun... For the few seconds you get to play each level. Need to start unlocking slots pretty much immediately. That means money or ads... Need to do that three or more times per level. Ok, if ads were 15 seconds, but these ad breaks are LONG. Every single time. Sometimes multiple back to back long ads. Uninstalled and annoyed because I'd actually really enjoy this one if ad breaks weren't WAY longer than gameplay every single level. Greedy devs.
