Qblock: Wood Block Puzzle Game 12+

No explanation to use keys - changed my eval

While I like the game, i have looked and looked and asked for an explanation, but nothing! I keep earning keys, but all I can determine is that I can store ONE shape in the box and ONLY one, even tho I have over seven hundred keys! Also when I try to get the 3 “free” rotations, i have to watch sometimes 3 ads! I will probably soon delete this game.

Came back again to see if there had been added any explanation for use of the keys. Nope! Nothing! One review says he gets rotation coins when his meter run across the line at the top. I still get these useless keys! Going to have to downgrade to one star until they explain or fix!

Received a response finally. They say the key will be usable with next update. I hope so! If it is, I’ll have to raise my evaluation.

Ok! Keys now can be turned into rotate coins! Yay! It cost 100 keys to receive 8~12 coins, which seems high to me, but I’ll take it. Now I’m enjoying the game much more and my score is getting higher! Thanks, developers!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. The key is a bonus from the progress bar. Starting from the next version, the key can be used to open the treasure chest to get rotation, and the version will be released next week at the latest .If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via email(support@learnings.ai).

Sort of an Attention Keeper

Been playing this game awhile now. Way too many Ads! Ads after every game, Ads to get bonus points! Clear out the Ad when started and go back to the game app and start again. Still an interruption but less of game time taken. Never ceases to make me want to quit playing as it forces choices with the blocks not needed and it has to be placed somewhere and eventually the game ends due to no more space. As the game progresses, pieces are given that is not needed: lots and lots of angle pieces that eventually cannot fit, then the long pieces arrive and then the large square. This is not a game of random pieces given to play with. Its programmed for you to lose. Its like a game of Chess playing against a computer - try as you can, you will lose eventually. The best way to get points is to play the game without using points to rotate and try to clear three or four rows to get bonus points. Takes awhile to get points. There are other ways available to get points. Now they have provided another game set that you can play but no points are given. If you need to rotate then it comes off your supply - nothing is given in return so its fun trying to clear the board without using your points. It is on a time schedule for only a few days. Use it as a break for something different but don’t use your points to rotate! Have fun trying to go as long as you can.

WAY TO MANY ADS!!!!!

This version of this game can be pretty fun. And you can spend a lot of time playing it. The problem is the ads. They’re incessant. They’re constant. They’re ridiculously long and anything you want to do to advance in the game requires you select something that’s gonna present you with another set of ads that lasts anywhere from one to up to (in some cases) three minutes of multiple ads. It’s ridiculous. These app companies that are building these games need to find another revenue source or other ways to engage consumers in commerce that they benefit from. It’s either incessant advertising that’s completely disruptive to the experience of actually playing the game or they want you to agree to their privacy policy where they’re going to have access to all your information on your device and sell it to third parties, insisting that you consented it in order to play their game. I’m sure most people don’t mind some level of advertising but this is crazy.

Its invasive. It’s just absolutely ridiculous and stupid. It’s a shame that companies can’t realize that they are inconveniencing the very customers they are seeking to participate in applications they build.

Really sorry for the poor experience. Actually, ads are one way for us to monetize the app, while we spent much time designing, programming, and perfecting it. After 5 seconds since the beginning of a video ad, you'll find an option in the top left corner to skip it. Hope for your understanding!
