Clockmaker: Mystery Match 3 12+

So close to 5*’s!

Clockmaker is one of the very best puzzle games of this type. It truly does cater to my A.D.D./O.C.D. addicted to puzzle games nature. Excellent graphics, smooth gameplay and fun themes and great mini games for cool prizes. Also the only game of the type that utilizes social media in a much better way for freebies and so much more. The drawbacks that cause the 4 rather than 5* rating are as follows: 1. The pricing for some of the power ups is beyond ridiculous; i.e. the dynamite power up (very handy especially for the super challenging must beat in one turn levels) has a hefty cost of 30 rubies for only 3 dynamite power ups. The pricing structure of buying rubies for $ means you must spend a minimum of $10 which would get you only 6 of them, which I’d make the comparison that dynamite power ups make the $4/gallon gas prices look cheap. 2. The mini games: Many of them are excellent but 2 gripes of mine are: Some of the best ones last such a short time, there no way to complete them without spending an entire paycheck (come on developers), the second issue is it seems with the mini games that the levels are simply the same 6 puzzles being regurgitated with very little if any efforts applied to add more challenge types. 3. Make rubies a bit more available to win during gameplay, winning them is pretty well impossible and honestly you’d make a lot more money being less greedy 😁

Really fun mysteries

Ok so this app is really fun you immediately get boosters that help you beat the first few levels I kept seeing ads for this game and thought 💭 well I do like mysteries then when I played it was exciting and fun most games have many many ads but this game has none! I was very happy 😊 about that and bonus most of their offers cost 1 dollar 😱can you believe that and the offers have tons of boosters and gems which is so awesome 👏🏻 I really like this game and recommend it to people who love mysteries and thrilling adventures and guess what else there are daily challenges and if you run out of boosters some of them only cost 5 gems 😱omg can you believe that and wait there’s more you can create your own avatar and neat name and it was very hard to pick Which avatar I wanted but I finally chose and I was very happy with my decision on getting this app sorry 😐 if this was a long review but I really had to tell the world about this awesome app thank the app owners for such an amazing game and when you’re bored this activity is a great game to play. Hope you enjoyed this review bye and give the credit to the creators 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍🥰😝😆I wish I could write more but there is too much fun I want to get back to playing this game bye

Generally enjoy, ads getting obnoxious

I’ve been playing this game on and off for a couple years. In general the game is fun and the art and characters are fun and high quality. There is a *bit* of a cringe factor with the various racially/ethnically/culturally stereotyped sub-characters that appear for special events, but maybe I’m just being too woke.

However, I’ve been enjoying the game less and less due to ad proliferation. It used to be that ad content was only required when you opted to watch a video for a boost or some other bonus. However, starting maybe six months ago or so ads are now shoved down your throat randomly when you finish levels - regardless of whether you win or not. Just trying to close out of a level can now prompt an inescapable ad. It’s so frustrating. I don’t want to have to watch some solitaire ad promising me “real money” when all I want to do is get back to the main map.

And to be clear, I have gladly spent actual money on this game to purchase boosts or during special promotions to get boosts and gems (the game’s in-game currency). I have no problem with giving them a little bit of my money to enjoy their game now and then. But the marked proliferation of unclosable ads that randomly interrupt my gameplay makes me not want to play the game, which means they don’t get my money often anymore either.
