3 Tiles for Pc

Edit: with the latest update you can earn some functions as you go & the IAP pop ups are fewer, so +1 star, yay! I would like the earned function rolls to be heavier on undo, though. I don’t need the others, but being able to undo is an accessibility issue for people with unsteady hands, vision problems, etc. Original: The price to turn off ads is reasonable if it actually removed all of the ads. Even after paying to remove ads, more money or ads are the only way to get access to basic functions. Also you still will get full page ads to purchase these functions. Even if it’s a pop up ad for the game you’re playing, it’s still an ad. The game fits that nice spot of being distracting without taking a lot of thought. It’s great when I can’t sleep & sudoku and word puzzles just keep me up. I removed the ads to make things more chill, but not being able to undo a mis-tap is not chill. Something like a log in bonus & removing the remaining pop-ups would make this game great. Being able to pick your tile set would be a dream feature. (If I’m paying for a game feature, it’s probably a skin or costume or other useless decorative nonsense. :D)

This game is fun. I enjoy playing this modified mahjong style game. I also really enjoy the art on the tiles too. However, even after having paid for the ad free version of the game I feel as though they are trying to ring more money out of their players. I can put up and ignore the game “ad” about restocking on in game assistance tools. With the most recent update a few changes have been made (noticeable difference over night it feels like.) It’s annoying to have to watch the revive button count down before I’m allowed to just restart the level again(feels a little like they are holding my game hostage while I have to wait for the option to restart instead of just letting me restart, it’s not long but still annoying especially since I paid to play the game ad free) and the option to watch an ad to gain an additional tile slot is gone. It’s made worse due to the fact that when you click to add the slot it takes you to a pop up in the game stating: 20 extra cells! and with another click it says it is $5.99. Which feels like a lot for what you’re getting and it’s made worse by the fact that it used to be free as long as you watched an ad. It won’t be enough to make me quit playing yet but if it continues down this path it could. Which is sad this game would have been 4 or 5 stars but the nickel and dime things grow old quite fast.

Edit: I share everyone’s sentiment about restarting levels after completing the game. I deleted the app after I finished and then redownloaded it and it saved my progress every time. I paid for ad-free, and when I redownloaded it the ads were back. I went to repurchase ad free and my Apple account recognized that I had already purchased that, so I didn’t end up having to repay. Hope that’s helpful for people, because I know for me being constantly sent back to level one was very frustrating. This was an easy fix, but you do have to replay the game again, which I had no problems doing. This game is a great way to de-stress. I sped through it and finished all four themes pretty quick which was a bummer, but happy to replay levels. I do find it super annoying to constantly be asked to purchase expensive add ons. I know this is pretty common but it’s way more frequent in this game than any other I’ve played.

Having Ads is ok. Normally it doesn’t bother me but this is an amount of ads I just can’t comprehend. I feel like this game is on the same level of ads as you see in the movie Idiocracy. There are multiple ads between each level, an ad for any extra you need (fine), ad if you swipe down to change the brightness on your screen, “free gift” pop ups that block tiles and you can’t see or click the tile until you watch the ad, ads that freeze and replay multiple times, ads when you first log back into the game, ads that automatically redirect you to the App Store so that when you close the App Store and go back into the game you have to watch another ad, ads the close button opens the App Store and another ad, ads whose close buttons don’t work at all and you have to close the whole game and getting two more ads, ads upon ads upon ads. I end up watching an average of 4-5 ads for every game I get to play. Although it’s a fun game, ironically it isn’t the same game that was advertised in a different game I was playing. So even their OWN AD was deceptive. I gave this game a try but at this point I’m so annoyed it’s not fun or relaxing.
