The Good: Why Is on top of the same Genre
Gameplay That Actually Makes You Smarter
-
Dual Clear Conditions: Most games force one solution. Here, you choose:
-
Clear horizontal/vertical lines like Tetris
-
Or complete 3×3 squares like Sudoku
-
-
Strategic Depth: The best players combine both methods for maximum efficiency
Example:
Level 147 seems impossible until you realize:
-
Filling a corner 3×3 square opens up line clears
-
Which then creates space for another square
-
Suddenly you’ve chained 5 clears in 3 moves

-
Smart Difficulty Curve: Early levels teach mechanics; later ones demand foresight
The Bad: Where Frustration Creeps In
Ad Overload
-
Frequency: Unskippable ads every 4-5 levels
-
Worst Offense: Some trigger after you lose, rubbing salt in wounds
Workaround: Airplane mode stops ads, but also blocks boosters
Progress Killing Glitches
-
Most Common: Game crashes after rewarded ads
-
Most Painful: Reinstalling sometimes wipes all progress
Isolated Gameplay
-
No Friends: Can’t compare scores directly
-
No Events: Daily challenges would add replay value
Developer Response:
