Jewel Blast - Block Drop Puzzl

Update: downgraded to 1. It has been impossible to get past 30k the last few months as the game seems to be stuck in a loop - you get all the tiny blocks at the start and then just big ones. Only had this game on all my phones for almost 5 years so this is really disappointing ☹️ Love it! Best game ever and fantastic time waster and way to relax!!

Playing on a Samsung S8, no issues. This game is deceptively simple, yet tricky as the board changes from both the top and the bottom with each completed line. I'm not sure what all these reviewers are complaining about (except the weird bird chirping... I wouldn't miss it, should it disappear in a future update). People are being a mite picky over a FREE game. Just sayin'. And those complaining about the ads, if you hit the 'back' arrow, the ad ends.

Game play is fine, save when it gives a string of impossible blocks forcing you to lose. The obnoxious ads are almost manageable. When you see one that has already appeared (say, for the 15th time), you can usually back out. But not always. Sometimes these ads block you from doing anything for up to 30 seconds, and they deliberately ignore the X button to close. Nothing makes me hate a game more than ads hijacking my phone.
