X Blocks 4+

X Blocks

Hi, I recently downloaded XB and will confess, I’m REALLY ENJOYING the game, surprising myself due the usual deletion of SSOOO many of the games I’ve downloaded I also Appreciate the Advertisers working with the Developers/Gamers i.e. The Right People allowing free play I’d like to ask you/Apple/The Right People to adjust/rewrite the guidelines specifically the incessant play/repeated selection of the ‘X’ only to be directed to the App Store
This jester repeats seemingly endlessly (this is one of the Frustrations resulting in Deleted apps) Sadly XBapp is being considered I REALLY REALLY ENJOY the app, my correspondence is evidence - - I DON’T DO THIS!!!
Hoping this Initiates further review

Thanks

Great Game, Frustrating Lack of Audio Control on Adverts

The game is very enjoyable and helps me decompress after a long day. My only gripe, and the reason for 3 instead of 5 stars is the ads. I understand that the developers have to make money somehow - so I understand their place and necessity in the app ecosystem. However, the audio/sound is so very annoying and disruptive. My phone is always set to vibrate and all of the sounds are off in the game. This does not stop the audio from playing from the ads. It is intermittent when this happens, it might be related to specific ads. Also, it always, ALWAYS mutes any music or podcast I have going to play the audio from the ad. And an option to silence the ad is not consistently available. This drives me absolutely bonkers. Sometimes my own audio will kick back on when the ad is over, other times I have to manually select play. I have some auditory sensitivity so it can be very unnerving in a lot of ways. Some type fix or controls for this would be very welcome. I apologize if there is a setting I missed that would control this but i cannot locate it.

Developer Response ,

Hi,
Firstly, thank you so much for writing us such an explanatory and detailed feedback. This will definitely help us improve our ads eco system. As for the ads, we are sincerely very sorry. We have specifically asked our ad-providers to make sure that the ad sounds are mute when they shown them in our games.
If you get such an ad again that does not have sounds mute, can you please take a screenshot of it and click on the info (i) on the ad. That would give you the ad-provider information. Please send us both the information at: games@inspiredsquare.com. We will make sure we ban any such ads and the ad-providers that do not abide by these rules.

Thank you again for informing us of this. Please, know we will make sure we keep doing better to make this a 5 star game for you.
Keep playing and enjoying X Blocks.

Warm Regards: X Blocks Team.

Lacking Variety of Useful Shapes and Too Many Annoying Ads

Game could be better if there were more useful shapes offered. Some angles shapes in a specific size are not offered in their mirrored opposite shape of the same size. For example I may get a shape “[“ and then need the shape “]” and it never shows up. Again, that’s just an example. More importantly, I realize ads are necessary to an extent but this is overkill. EVERY single time I’m playing, an ad pops up RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GAME - and this happens more than once. It’s extremely frustrating and annoying especially when I’m in the middle of a move, getting ready to drop my blocks in place. I have tried being patient but I just can’t with this game so I’ll be deleting it. Thankfully I found a very similar one with better graphics and an ad plays only at the END of my game once I’ve finished it.

Hi, we are sincerely sorry for the ads. Unfortunately, as you might know, they are necessary to manage the expenses of running the game. We will surely decrease the number of ads in the game if that affects our precious users too much. About your other issue, we have passed your feedback right to our development team. They will surely make improvements in the game as user experience and satisfaction are always our top priorities. Stay with us to see the following updates!
