Too many ads8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can't even open a game without an ad popping up and then I can't even get to play the game because it won't let me delete the ad. Use to like it. Deleted it.
★★★★★ My wife was playing this app with our 8-yr old child (note the app is rated 4+) and pop up ads started.
★★★★★ And all the advertisements on the bottom.
Worse after an update8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Why was it necessary to fad the colors as well as delay the computer's movies. As the saying goes,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
★★★★★ This new version is much harder to use and, frankly much less fun to play.
★★★★★ This used to be fun to play, now it's a strain on my eyes. The game moves so quickly, I cannot tell where it placed their line, & the colour is practically impossible to see. Back to the drawing board, please.

Very very bad

I love this game… but the Optime Software version is so very hard. I tried in Easy mode, and I got destroyed. I didn’t win once. Also, you should be able to choose your own colour. I mean not everybody likes the Bluey theme!!! Lastly, if I try to play on landscape mode then pretty much 2/3 of the screen gets cut off and inaccessible. BUT YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF!!! p.s. i’m about to delete this, it’s the only thing i ever reviewed under five stars
