Clockmaker: Mystery Match 3 for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great graphics. Most levels too hard.Been saying the same story for years, fix it please. Amazed you still have players! Nice of you to respond. However, the levels are difficult not challenging. Playing the same level for days and or hours is just wrong..AskannetteVersion: 77.0.0

✓ Fun game but expensive!This is a fun interactive game with loads of extra challenges, however, it is not cheap to play. You blow through rubies for boosters and your purchase doesn’t last long if you play a lot. The difficulty increases obviously as go through the levels, which means you need more boosters. Yes, you can win boosters but it’s a double edge sword-it costs you to complete challenges to win the “free” boosters. While all games have a cost associated, this one is on the high end for sure. I enjoyed playing it and felt it offered a lot of challenges with great visuals. Unfortunately I had to give it up due to the cost to stay in the game, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. Suggestions: Players should be able to buy more than 3 boosters at a time. All special gems of different color should have a “reaction” when combined, rather than limiting special gems reaction only when completing a chain of same color..BeryzVersion: 58.0.0

✓ ClockmakerOk game but wants too much money to get ahead will delete soon because it’s to frustrating not enough bonus’s when you get good patterns 😩.MyJasper01Version: 36.85.0

✓ Purchase of timed add onsIt is very frustrating that when you buy and get the lightning bolt for 1 hour that it does not suspend the timer when you log out of the game and then resume when y out you log back in. That is what prevents this from being a 5 star game..Smid23Version: 47.437.0

✓ FrustratingConstantly closing down. Love the games but annoying when you are in the middle of a game and it shuts down. Frustrating and will delete if not fixed.TanifayVersion: 61.0.0

✓ False advertisingThis game advertises multiple puzzle types to encourage brain activity. However it’s a boring match 3 game with a silly story line. And is nothing like what it’s advertised at....GipsyroseylieVersion: 60.0.1

✓ Forget it unless you have deep pockets.Thought I’d give it a go as it looked like a good twist on the 3 match games. Don’t bother unless you want to spend a huge amount of cash for the power ups. Only on the 3rd of many buildings/puzzles and it’s already far too difficult to clear without them. Therefore to progress without repeating the same puzzle over and over with the meagre 5 lives you get in a vain hope you might just be lucky to complete it will need to spend real cash for the power ups. This is fine if you re OK with that but not for me. I feel this type of game should be banned and all games should be purchased to play with each game having a trial version FOC to try. You like, you buy knowing how much you re going to spend rather than being hooked into a game and being forced to spend spend and spend more to complete it. This is almost like gambling IMO..The Maltese OneVersion: 27.173.0

✓ Not fun just frustratingYou will no longer get any of my money! I regularly spend money on games I enjoy. But you will not see another dime of mine. When a game is so devised that there is no possibility of reaching the goals it is no longer a game nor fun. It is an exercise in futility. I don’t know if you are just an incompetent game designer or greedy! For example a round requiring collecting clock hands...the configuration of the board consisted of 5 separate parts with no interconnection at all. The outer sections are separated from the main game board & each contain 3 tiles in an L-shape. You are unable to match within these sections nor can you reach them from the main game board. There is NO mechanism for these pieces to be put into play & of course the “clock hands” needed are in these sections. I tried lining up the lightening game pieces, bombs, & those pieces that take out entire rows/columns. At one point I had so many special pieces created that it took out almost the entire main board, but all action stopped at the border. No matter how close to the edges the special pieces were they would not reach these areas outside of the main game board so absolutely no way to complete the task. I just quit. If this frustration continues I’ll just delete the game..TTTTTrrrrrrrriiiiiiiixVersion: 35.41.0

✓ DisappointingRecent significant reduction to the free rewards in Travel Season is most disappointing. It is designed to increase the likelihood of purchasing the vip rewards or incessantly watching multiple in-app ads in order to gain 3 extra moves with each ad viewing. If this change that significantly reduced the free rewards previously available in travel seasons I will be deleting this app..Jo-Ann in SydneyVersion: 71.3.0

✓ J’aime beaucoup maisJuste trop trop d’annonces publicitaires non sollicitées. On joue une grille paf une annonce. Tu joue une 2ieme grille encore une annonce. Trop c’est trop. J’adore ce jeu et depuis 6 mois voici le scénario. Tellement triste..ZxakiqpVersion: 74.1.0

✓ AwfulToo convoluted. Too many rewards needed to proceed!.Not impressed withVersion: 75.0.0

✓ This is my honest opinionThey first few hours I played showed the complete OPPOSITE of what I was looking for on the add and the rating says that it's for 4+ . I have a younger brother and he is 4 turning 5 in a couple of months and I wo I would NEVER let him play it's so age inappropriate .I would rather you change these things quick and stop your petty apologies and make actions quick .Your company would go bankrupt and that would be a waste of money٫ would it?There is another reason why I wouldn't advise this game. Why do you need all the information asked ? I truly believe that it was not needed .I think you should listen to the review and think about the point of view and so do some other people..CupkittycatVersion: 58.0.0

✓ Other GamesI thought this was more than just a match 3 game..Kyda7Version: 76.0.0

✓ RidiculousI play so many of these match games and have never felt so compelled to write a review. This is the most frustrating match game I’ve ever attempted to play. Why attempted? Because as pretty as the graphics are it’s unplayable for those of us not at all interested in having to buy boosters to pass levels. I have no issues with a game being harder without boosters. But endless rounds where it’s impossible to go forward without the boosters you’re pushed to purchase at every other screen is ridiculous. And that is early in the game, mind you. I’m not at any kind of top levels. It was fun for a DAY before it becomes engineered misery designed to make your frustration go ahead and buy those boosters. They’re only $0.99. Here’s another “x” before you can select retry because we don’t think you should pass up this deal. Even harder levels are coming. For shame. And ads to watch even if you’ve failed once again on an impossible level? Really? Not even an ad to get more moves? Do better. Be more fair to your players. This is just shameful and ridiculous..KatanaLNVersion: 76.1.0

✓ Free does scale well for freeEventually you reach a level you can pass without paying $$$.... It’s uninstall time.Elenesski2Version: 73.0.1

✓ Toooo long!Your pop ups are much longer than other ads. On principle I will not download your game. You purport not to be a fake ad. You are.never!.Nesbit1110Version: 74.1.0

✓ The adverts lie to you about this gameOnly gets 3 stars, as the game adverts lie to you about, how the game is not hRd as if you get stuck it will help you and give you gifts. No it won’t unless you actually complete a level, then it helps you, but as like me being stuck on one level fir 5 days, using my 5 lives only, as I have no Facebook to help me send lives. Then if you manage it by pure luck it gives you 8 hours of unlimited lives. Why did it not give me that when I was stuck so I could try and try until I did it, not have to play fir 10 minutes then wait hours for 5 more lives fir another 15 minutes. As long as you won levels it helps you, if you can’t beat one yours stuck without Lady Luck. This game does not give you help when you need it only when you don’t. And it’s getting harder and shorter to play. Otherwise it is a great game to play fir 15 minutes. But it should be hours of fun not minutes..BustergutVersion: 45.214.0

✓ Version 54.0.0Seriously annoying that this version crashes more than it opens. Loved this game and have had it for years but this latest version will barely open for me before it closes. Deleting and reinstalling should be a last resort as you lose most of your hard-earned prizes. Footnote: I’d like to thank the Developers for reaching out and giving me information on how to improve the games’ performance on my system. Also note that the game is actually playing now. The customer service is heartening and will keep me coming back..MithraineVersion: 54.0.2

✓ Please fix the crashing!I’ve been playing this game for a while now. I really appreciated that there were no forced ads, but you could choose to watch them for bonus things. Then they added forced ads after every game (like all the others). Alas, I continued playing. I am not interested in the story lines, I typically skip through those, but I enjoy most of the auxiliary games and challenges that keep me from getting bored when the main games become impossible to beat (even with tons of help). It’s enough to cure the occasional boredom. Until recently. The game crashes all the time now, especially when you need to win that game to get a good bonus, then you lose that bonus and a life when you go back it. It’s gotten to the point where I can almost anticipate which games it’s going crash on, like the program is designed to prevent people from winning certain things. I’ve tried to wait out a couple updates hoping the problem would be fixed, but it’s getting quite infuriating. I do like this game, but the crashing has got to stop!.Aflemin8Version: 61.0.0

✓ Disappointing- why can’t I use my winnings?Okay, I get it that people want to make money. But why pretend that this can be done as a free app? I keep winning lives and red gems - 100s of gems - but they never get added to my usable tally. I think it’s part of a bunch of something I can win the right to pay for (does that make sense, even?). And there’s so many little side games and piles of loot - and again, I can’t use any of them. All those amazing graphics make this app a cut above a lot of others, but you almost need a little rule/ explanations book somewhere. There’s too much to absorb. Every session ends in frustration. Last thing: the link to Facebook does NOT help me ask friends for lives. I’ve tried many times. Not designed for iPhone?.Jeffa RVersion: 50.32.5

✓ You’ll either be broke, bored or frustratedThis game is only for those who have plenty of disposable income or who are prepared to spend endless hours on the same game to the point where it simply becomes boring and frustrating. The inducements to spend money are many, varied and persistent. It reminds me of the touts in Kuta Beach. To add to the frustration, you’re forced to watch endless ads every two or three games. I deleted the app. That’s three days of my life I’ll never get back..SqueakerdVersion: 78.0.0

✓ Can’t progress without spending cashI have had to delete this game because of the following reasons: 1. The incessant pop ups in the game are so frustrating, they give you so many things to spend money on as well as so many side challenges that when you open the game you have to close about 5 windows before you can even start playing. This makes the screen really busy to look at as well. 2. The levels got really difficult REALLY quickly. I’ve basically only just started playing so very low level and I'm already struggling to clear levels without boosts and extra lives. This is so obviously designed in order to get you to spend money. 3. To that end, you really don’t get many lives. And when it’s taking 10 lives to get through one level after only a couple of days, this either halts gameplay all together, or you’ll end up spending money to get through it. And this isn’t cheap. 1 life costs 5 gems which is £1. This will add up quickly if you’re not careful. At the end of the day this is just a standard match 3 game like any other. The story line is interesting but certainly not enough to make me continue playing with the above in mind..IssiecrossVersion: 71.3.0

✓ Fun game but winning too much leads to no advancementsI’ve been playing Clockmaker for a while now and I’ve really enjoyed it. Now it seems as though I always lose a level by one or two moves. It’s gotten frustrating over the past couple weeks now to the point I feel as though the game is “throttling me” to slow down my advancement. It feels as though I need to purchase gems to continue play on a level that I can almost beat. This is by far the best match 3 game I’ve tried and I love it but t may be time to throw in the towel. Thanks Clockmaker developers, outstanding game. Maybe a bit too good. Update: Finally deleted this game when I was forced to play Bingo. I couldn’t win without using multiple boosters and as I stated above, the same thing continued to happened, always one match left so I would need to pay 5 jewels to get more moves. Also, the ads became overwhelming. Some of the games advertised were absolutely disgusting to look at. Violent and way over sexualized. BTW I did make it pretty far (Darkchester) before I quit..Go dog 135876Version: 53.0.0

✓ AdvertisingUpdate 10 August 2022. Very hard to win any levels now. I know it is the game settings but it is not enjoyable now. I sometimes go 2 hours without a win, I know, I’m a fool for continuing to play. Ah well. I commented that there was too much advertising. The response was about advertising supporting development - I agree that is necessary - but also two parameters that do not work for me. First that the advertising is not after every game - it is when I play. Second that the videos can be stopped after 15 seconds - every one I have seen has 30 seconds. I’d be interested in seeing a response..Pacman29Version: 67.0.0

✓ Ish.So. Few. Moves. Those limited moves are what makes this something you work at. I’ve played similar jewel-matching/busting games that are much easier, and as a puzzle-lover, I like that the matching puzzles are limited in a challenging way. But I’m not really into the story. (I also thought this was a game with a few different kinds of puzzle games because it reminded me so much of another storied puzzle game of mystery.) So. When you take the story away, you get a satisfyingly (occasionally infuriatingly, ha) challenging puzzle. And time limits. And pop-ups offering packages to purchase. And other eerily familiar challenges that have mini-stories I don’t care about that are supposed to encourage us forward with the hopes that we’ll win prizes. And I’m sure some do! I’m just not willing to waste money in order to say I won rewards I didn’t have to pay money for. I remember seeing a response to a user who loves this game after he wrote a review saying this is meant to make the Clockmaker team money. It was made clear that they wanted consumers to be able to enjoy the challenging gameplay regardless of what’s in your wallet. And you can... but you’d have to be much brighter than THIS gamer to be able to solve certain challenges without eventually paying out. All said, I’m just not invested enough to spend any more time adjusting and improving strategy. I’m off to solve a word scramble. Later! -I- hope you have a good day... but I won’t tell you what to do. 😋🤍.Kai'sNameOwnerVersion: 47.262.0

✓ Stupid gameTold from an add it is not a candy crush like game. Well it is..Tug451Version: 75.0.2

✓ Fix your ad policy before you kill the gameEven though I joined this game thinking it was something different, I stayed as it’s an enjoyable match 3 game with a solid storyline… However, the recent change to forced viewing of ads has reached spam proportions and it’s no longer tolerable. The ads I choose to watch for a reward are fine, that a fair value exchange. It’s the constant spamming in between attempts at levels that’s frustrating, breaks up gameplay and ruins any sort of atmosphere the game was building… I wanted to stay playing, but I’ll be deleting soon as it’s just too frustrating to be enjoyable anymore….GorrithVersion: 65.0.0

✓ ClokmakerTrop de pubs, on perd l’intérêt du jeu! Dommage!.Theo 56Version: 76.1.0

✓ Milking the cow ?I have played for a long time , enjoyed it and spent quite a bit . No regrets but now they turned greedy . Boosters prizes turned 2 hours to 2 , levels can’t be passed without boosters and clever algorithms will always leave 1 last missing piece to be sure you try again . Was fun but I won’t be forced to spend ..LouisvlaudeVersion: 56.1.0

✓ The support is not workingToo many adds and support is not monitoring any issues with game. It seems like it is time to look for a different game..MonikaCAONVersion: 76.1.0

✓ DisappointedI downloaded this game because the preview showed a clockmaker fitting shapes together with different pieces. This game is NOTHING like that. This game is misrepresented by the ad. It’s just another version of Toy Blast or Royal Save or Fishdom (which are totally misrepresented by the demo ads).Games Fan 88Version: 63.0.0

✓ Getting fed up with this!Used to love this game but it is becoming a pain to play now. I understand advertisements are what keeps the game free but the awful, slimming product advert, which claims to have been supported by Dragon’s Den when it hasn’t, is not only misleading but is preventing the game from working. It goes to the ad and freezes there and the only way to get out is to close the game. I’ve complained only to be told they have no control of the advertisements used. Well someone must have surely! Perhaps this is intentional in order to make people pay the subscription for the ad free version but at £17+ a month I can’t see that working. If this carries on I will definitely delete the app which is such a shame!.Karniejane12Version: 64.0.0

✓ Ads! Ads! Ads!Absolutely one of the worst games for number of ads..Motor sportsVersion: 73.0.1

✓ Wasted boostersUPDATE: Had a reply from the developer that the boosters would appear but would have to be found 🤷‍♀️ I have yet to find one as they still don’t appear on the board. One time I picked all three and unless three boosters are hidden under the one tile that’s left when the lives have run out then they are not being placed on the board. Frankly the game is now boring because levels are impossible to pass. I’ve been stuck on level 13 for about two weeks now. I can’t even remember what the point of the game is! Deleting. ORIGINAL: I do like this game but am so frustrated that when you select a booster to use (particularly on a difficult level) it doesn’t appear on the board game! Why? Very irritating..Bernie ChadwickVersion: 45.574.0

✓ Not the Game AdvertisedI downloaded this game thinking it was more of a puzzle game - as this is what was advertised. Rotate the pieces to fit into a shape - nowhere did this advert mention being a match 3 in a row!! I don’t want another match 3 in a row game. I want the puzzle game that was advertised. I’m sure if I continued to play, I may come across a mini game of the content wanted but I wanted a whole game of this not just the odd challenge here and there. Granted, the App Store description does make all of this clear but the advert pop up in another game does not..Pink StigVersion: 57.1.0

✓ Not for most, unfortunatelyThought to give it another chance, seeing as they’re up and advertising again. Lots of potential but gets too hard too fast- like literally day 2😆. I guess they don’t like to listen, said. My team has been playing Happy Potter Puzzles & Spells for 6 years- In a successful game, the difficulty fluctuates (up and down) or players lose interest.Teal FrogVersion: 76.1.2

✓ Very challengingI started off really enjoying this game, but now I am finding the levels are very hard and can’t get through them without spending money. Mind you I am not very far into the levels and I am thinking I am not going to advance very far very quickly. Although there are lots of different levels and mini games to play which are very interesting and I am enjoying the story line, but when you play the same level over and over and still can’t get through it, things become less interesting and now I am finding that I am no longer going back to this game every day. Tanya.Tangosierra7Version: 57.1.0

✓ Used to be phenomenalThe reviews speak for themselves. Five stars down to one. I’ve owned this game for years. YEARS. I would buy boosters, extra lives, season passes. Not anymore. You want to generate revenue off ads instead of gameplay and it shows. The ads used to be mildly annoying (at worst) but after a few moments, you could skip and get back to the game…and they usually only popped up after a lost round, not a winning round. Now they show up frequently and are unnecessarily long and often freeze to where I have to shut the app down and restart to play the next round. Your replies to reviews states you are improving the ads….but not for your customers and fan base, you’re improving them for your ad revenue. Longer, more frequent and intrusive. You are not listening to your fan base, and the reviews show it. This game used to have consistent 4 and 5 star reviews, but not anymore. I hate leaving negative reviews. I like to let devs know when they’re doing something right, but in this case you KNOW you are doing something wrong and you don’t care. It’s a shame really. This game is awesome. The devs motivations-not so much..Paddle ForwardVersion: 67.0.0

✓ Generally enjoy, ads getting obnoxiousI’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..AncipitalmeVersion: 60.0.1

✓ ConfusingMatch 3 games are fairly straight forward, I think it’s great when events are run ingame always makes it a bit more interesting however there’s just a bit much going on when you first open clockmaker. This was just a bit to confusing for me, I’ve got black cats, vaults, cards/streaks? and other things I have to play as well as I think the main story? I was getting a lot of free play time but some of those games are really hard. I would have continued with the game I’m sure I would have understood it better given time but ads popping in at random was frustrating. I understand that adverts are part of games but why when I load one of the puzzles to start does an ad start and then the puzzle disappears or it reloads and all the bombs and stuff disappear. Most games have them before and after you have completed/started. I would recommend you do that instead of your current set up..Pixie puddingpopVersion: 77.0.0

✓ Sad clone that lied through advertisingThis game markets itself as a puzzle solver. A brain training game. In actuality it’s just another bejewelled clone game with zero flavour or anything that remotely resembles a unique experience. Boring zero star game. PASS.Flying WishVersion: 60.0.1

✓ Recent changes have ruined this gameStarted playing at Xmas and found it refreshing as no ads and you could easily earn extra time to play. Lots of entertaining events too. Sadly the ads crept in resulting in frozen screens and lost games. After filling in their questionnaire on my experience of the game things briefly improved but not for long. Now the troublesome ads have returned, the individual games have got ridiculously hard and no way to earn extra lives/time without paying. Very sorry to have to delete this game but it’s lost it’s charm for me..BoohoodeeVersion: 64.0.0

✓ Too many ads!!!I really like this game but the number and lengths of the ads is ridiculous! Most apps give you the option to pay to skip ads. Not this one. Thinking of deleting. Deleting this app. Way too many ads. Not only that but they are too long and are not easy to skip. Bye!.Hds333Version: 75.0.2

✓ Not like the ads - not all purchases work so watch outThis game is not like the ads. None of the puzzles that appear in the ads show up in the game. It’s basically full of tile matching puzzles like bejeweled or candy crush. The bottom levels are relatively easy to pass. They get progressively more difficult - mainly that you can’t complete them without boosters, which cost money, real money, because there aren’t ads. The boosters are expensive, they don’t last long and then you need to buy more. The game is fun but the boosters add up quickly. This game seems really designed to tap your wallet as much as possible. Also not all purchases work. There is a daily spinner that lands on different booster options. You might think you’re paying $4.99 for whatever the spinner lands on that day, but it doesn’t always work. Support is totally unhelpful. John on support will just say you got something else which doesn’t appear in the game. Perhaps this game is fine if you don’t mind spending a lot of money on an app and don’t care if you actually get the in game purchases you pay for..AntifreezingVersion: 77.0.0

✓ The adds keep freezingI liked this game at first but now it freezes when it is showing adds. I have to quit the game and then restart but then the same add starts and I have to restart the game again. Happened 8 times today. I am close to deleting it. It’s a pity as when it works it is quite good. Secondly, it shows me matches even before I have time to start looking. I want to find the matches not have the game take the lead..FanofmouseVersion: 64.0.0

✓ Ridiculous Amount of AdsI used to love this game, not only because it was great to play without constant ad interruption but because it’s constantly changing and just downright fun. However, recently, the amount of ads has become simply annoying and frustrating. I’m done. Just now after playing all of 5 minutes tops and winning, an ad popped up in Spanish only and I could not get it to go away. I don’t speak Spanish and didn’t want to click on something that ended up in my buying something I didn’t intend to purchase so the only way to close the ad was to research the words in the boxes to find the translation. Closing the app just brought the ad right back to my screen. I’ve had it with this game. I spend more time watching the stupid ads than I do playing. I don’t mind them now and then because I do realize I am playing for free, but lately it’s ad overkill… and the games the ads are showing are the same thing over and over. OMG…how many times must I be subjected to these ridiculous games where unwed mothers make stupid decisions that nobody in real life would ever make?!What a shame. I’m done with this game..PeonprincessVersion: 68.1.1

✓ Rigged, impossible levels. Deleted.Was enjoying this, like the art style. However progression rendered quite literally impossible by a disgustingly rigged level which clearly cannot be passed without loads of boosts. Even with chest rewards of the bulldog, bombs and stars simultaneously the level will not be cleared. This level being totally rigged is made so obvious by the fact that the board never changes, it’s always the same with the same matches available every time, no change at all. Add that to there being far too few moves, and it’s probably going to cost a tenner in boosts to pass. No thanks. Even candy crush isn’t that predatory. The sheer volume of ways this game gives out unlimited lives means the devs know exactly what they’re doing. I’m not wasting my time with this rubbish any more and neither should you. I’m just annoyed I downloaded this in the first place with a shred of optimism that it might not be awful..North_ShadowVersion: 69.0.0

✓ Enjoy the game, but crashing every level is frustratingI really enjoy this game and have A LOT of time invested. However, In the past month it’s been consistently crashing almost every time I start a new level. I contacted support and they recommended I go into my phone privacy/security settings and send them my log data for this game. I’m not comfortable doing that since I don’t know enough to know what the logs are storing. And if it’s in my privacy/security settings I feel like it’s meant to stay private and secure. The most frustrating thing is that when the game crashes, it wastes the powers ups I was using in that particular level. And it decreases any reward I might have earned for completing the level in one try because when I go back in after the crash it counts as a second (or third) try. I’ve updated and deleted and reinstalled the app and am still experiencing this bug. I’m writing this review in the hopes that the designer sees it and investigates the bug (without me having to disclose my log info). The game is fun. It is entertaining. And I do really enjoy it or I would’ve just deleted it because of the frustration instead of leaving a review and hoping for a fix..PaprikakittyVersion: 61.0.0

✓ Beautiful graphics but too expensive to playThe graphics in this game are truly beautiful, but unless you are willing to spend money, you can sit on the same level for days. In previous reviews I’ve read that if you are stuck on a level, you should write the creators, but why? If you’re aware of a problem, then you should fix it. If you buy one of their packages, you suddenly win easily, with or without boosters. But once you’ve run out of your boosters and rubies, again you can be stuck on a level which isn’t even listed as hard forever. There aren’t any advertisements you can watch for boosters, and until you go through approximately 45 levels per building, you don’t get anything but a single daily prize. Often you can go through your five life allotment in five minutes or less, and it’s half an hour to get another. Even beautiful graphics wear off when you’ve been looking at the same set for three days. If it were a little easier, it would be a great game. As it is, it’s not worth the time or the money..BrenmiyVersion: 45.439.0

✓ Boycott this appAny app that advocates cruelty to animals, children and women in its relentless advertising should be banned from the App Store..CdnyachtsmanVersion: 77.0.0

✓ Pass on thisI went ahead and bit and downloaded this. It is very colorful but that is about it. There is not much else except having to play the same levels over and over in hopes you can pass it. I find the contests just more of the same. There is a small chance to win a small prize each day but there really needs to be more such as free gems for logging in each day. You need to complete puzzles to get building material except you may not get the material you need to continue. I’m not about to start grinding a match three type of game. The colorful atmosphere holds the attention for a short while but the ads about it being different are just not true. It’s still just a boring match three game wrapped in a pretty package. There is an attempt at a story but I find it hard to care about the characters dilemmas when I run out of moves over and over again and cannot save my place unless I use (read buy) gems. No gems you start the scene over, don’t get what you need you start the scene over. I’m sure this is fine for some I find the repetition just a yawner. Better would be to alternate types of puzzles not just a different match three. Pass on this bore fest and download The Room series, now that is how a puzzle game is done..Koala grayVersion: 45.439.0

✓ PokiesThis is just like playing the pokies. It’s a shame because if it was an honest game it would be brilliant.there is know skill required so it just becomes boring and so monotonous .

✓ This is a very frustrating game.Unless you buy from the developer you will be stop, started all the time.watching ads. You don’t need to but your game will be frustrating so unless you’re prepared to pay. Don’t play.Emvy18Version: 77.0.0

✓ Fake reviews. Look at the most recent ones.Company gives scam reviews..Fluff e CatVersion: 77.0.0

✓ Levels way too difficultGood game let down by the difficulty of the levels, I find that it gets too repetitive playing the same level over and over, it’s frustrating the amount of times you get down to the last square and run out of moves, I appreciate you can move on and come back to that level but the same happens on the next game, obviously you could clear the last square if you buy more life’s and I’m guessing that’s what the whole game is set up to do, they want you to spend money, I do appreciate they need to make money but I’d be more inclined to just buy the game outright especially if they made the levels challenging but not impossible but for now I’ll be deleting the game unfortunately..TykeroyVersion: 45.574.0

✓ ClockmakerThis is a beautiful, interesting and clever game, however game is a misnomer. This is really a pay to play activity as there is no real "game feature". The play is designed to be impossible to win without purchasing tools to win. There is not even a legitimate difficulty or skill level challenge to this app to make it an entertaining game. For example, the ratio of number of moves to the number of items to be collected is so tight that there is almost no probability of ever winning the set without buying tools to play. In addition, even if you could reasonably expect to collect two or more items with every single move given, there are often not even the requisite number of items to be collected shown on the play board. So, the deck is stacked to NOT win, no matter how skilled and attentive a player you are. In addition, if some of the tools needed to win could be earned in easier games it might keep players in the game, but there is so little opportunity to win the game or the tools that buying your way through the game is the only alternative. This is not a game to enjoy or play for fun, and that is too bad, as it has great potential..Mugs45Version: 32.54.0

✓ Some IssuesI love puzzle games. Always have. However this one can sometimes leave a bad taste in one’s mouth. Firstly, I hate a game that requires Lives. Once they are used, one must either purchase more or turn the game off and wait. When I sit down to play a game, I want to play for as long as I choose, not for as long as the game chooses for me. Secondly, many of these puzzles do not give ample moves to solve the puzzle, again, without purchases or wasting time with the forever hated ads..AquascorpVersion: 74.1.0

✓ The ads are ridiculous!This used to be an okay game. It had generous rewards; and for a long time, it had no ads. Now there is an ad after every game; and - correct me if I’m wrong - no way of fast-forwarding through them or closing them after a certain time, as is possible in most other similar apps. I’ve found it more time-efficient to close the app and reopen it, rather than watching a 30-second ad. But actually, these ads are putting me off playing at all..ShinypinkVersion: 65.0.1

✓ ClockmakerI like this game with its glowing graphics, but there are too many ads and too costly to remove. So I won’t be bothering with it anymore.🙁.Ocean9448Version: 77.0.0

✓ Confusing & hard to succeed,0.I love a challenging game, however. This game is more challenging than most. The storyline is a nice touch and I like that it is there to make the game more interesting, but there’s is not a logical guide to follow in terms of what to play next, so you take a guess and may play out of sequence so the story is hard to understand. In regards to the game levels, if you do not win them the first time, they become increasingly harder to win and unless you spend money to buy the extra tools to win, you will never advance in the game. I have never had a game start out so hard and the more I play, and lose, because there is no guide, it makes this game confusing and hard to play. I rated this game a three as I see a lot of potential, and I liked that each game had different objectives and each game was different to play. Now if it was easier to win at the beginning levels and to story and game sequences easier to logically follow, I’d play it more..Pamlau1Version: 39.89.0

✓ Pluses and MinusesOn the one hand, the games are interesting and the graphics are great. On the other hand, if you want to keep playing you are almost forced to spend money. I did find that I can play without it, but the odds of finishing any level in one try are slim so you never get ahead. Also, nothing seems to refresh from one day to the next as happens in other games. Additionally, I believe I have paid for discounted items that were never received, like the 15 hammers yesterday and the 40 rubies today. Also, I can’t find an explanation of how the VIP monthly buy in works and what I should expect to get and how often. Finally, there are games where I can figure out what I need to do (say capture all of the hour glasses), but not what combination of moves gets that done. If they showed me once, I didn’t retain it and don’t know how to find the information again. Bottom line: I would love to play for hours, but am getting frustrated that without spending money I can’t get ahead..PhoenixRising819Version: 76.0.0

✓ Not what was advertisedI was shown an advert of a game about 3d shape manipulation that looked interesting, what I downloaded was yet another Bejeweled/Candy crush clone with boring cut scenes and a million clicks between attempts. I played for a good 20-30 minutes flying through levels but never saw anything like the ad. Advertise your game not some one in a million addition..MobiusmatVersion: 57.1.0

✓ What is wrong with the game the last 3 daysWhat on earth has happened to clock maker. Constant dropping put in the middle of playing the last 3 days, Really slow, wasted my 22 free hours of play as constantly switched off . So in the end gave up. So so frustrating . Why oh why do you not win enough bonus items to help you pass levels. You know you have no chance of winning the level when you get extra moves, so many times I have needed just 1 move to win the level and never get extra moves, when your nowhere near winning…..extra moves opportunity. It takes so long to level up building, you you finally finish collecting all the items and it not 1 or 2 is 33 to 41 items x 3 and just when you think you have done it, does the building level up…..no you need to get another round of items, Not enough reward for passing levels.AlexandriaC13Version: 62.0.1

✓ ClockmakerI have been playing this game for several years and I’m so frustrated with the game freezing, the chance to get three extra tries only to be told it’s not available at this time. If you want to you can keep hitting the button and you get lucky after 25 times you may be able to finish. I find the game freezes right at the end of a segment and you lose your progress..AureviorVersion: 72.1.1

✓ They've got it wrongUser experience is frustrating even if you spend money inside the game. Yes, it's a difficult game to progress organically, but if you spend like over $200 on the game like I did, it doesn't reward you in any way other than if you spent $5. Power ups and "weapons" are extremely expensive. Time to move on. This game just sucks cash without rewarding their players who line their pockets. Buh bye.Josh2011bVersion: 25.239.0

✓ Not like it’s advertised asThis game is not what it’s advertised as, it’s the same as all match 3 games, just with too much of a storyline, too much happening all at once, too hard to complete without using lots of money to buy items to assist. If you persevere you will pass the levels…… eventually. Not to mention all of the ads interrupting your game. I thought this was advertised as not having ads, but it’s one of the worst games for it. Have played on and off for a while however have finally decided to off the game from my device..Perdita bVersion: 57.1.0

✓ App Closes Automatically-Groundhogs DayROUND 2….So the app is closing automatically AGAIN. It has been doing it for about a week now. This is the second time I have had this problem within the past month. Last time I was credited some unlimited hours of lives and boosters, although the amounts were not disclosed, it was appreciated. I really enjoy playing this game, however, it is my belief, the developers aren’t willing to fix these issues in an older game. Essentially, they have moved on to bigger and better apps as to make (take) more of the customers money. I have spent well over $400 (or more) on in app purchases since downloading app (appx 1 yr ago). As a pay for services, I should be able to utilize the services I paid for. When the game closes automatically, I lose any boosters and lives utilized during that game play. Nothing is/has EVER been restored (except the undisclosed amounts of boosters & hours mentioned above). This is a ripoff, please don’t waste your time or money on this app. I have deleted the app and will never download ANY app from this developer again!!!.!!! YES PLEASE !!!Version: 62.0.1

✓ Misleading and too DifficultThe advertisement which led me to download this app vas misleading, the activity was nothing like the actual game. But I started playing anyway, only to become annoyed and frustrated quickly because it becomes difficult fast, especially the events. I am not even able to complete the first stage of them. It’s also repetitive and boring especially because I am not able to make progress. The graphics are very nice and the backgrounds music is pleasant, but any positive aspect is canceled by the bad gameplay..INTEGRAv2.1Version: 56.0.0

✓ The game in the ad is differentI don’t need another version of candy crush.SolemnbarbarianVersion: 63.0.0

✓ Not happyUsed to LOVE this game. But it has deteriorated in quality. It is much harder to win extended time, so I run out of lives quite quickly and play something else. Also, the stupid Ketogummy ad always goes to a blank screen that can’t be closed. I have lost hours of playtime due to the screen freezing and my time being exhausted when it finally works again. Getting v close to removing I completely..PipisisVersion: 72.1.1

✓ New Ads soooo annoyingI have been enjoying this game for a couple of years. It can be challenging at times but patience and perseverance usually pay off in the end. The freebies through the initial lockdown were much appreciated thank you. Suddenly though I find I am assaulted by unwanted ads that frequently disrupt the enjoyment of game play and I’m rapidly losing interest. I understand and appreciate that I’ve enjoyed the game foc this far but the barrage of ads is off the scale and I don’t think I’m prepared to put up with it..GirlaliVersion: 51.1.0

✓ Impossible to advance without spending moneyTwo stars for a beautiful game, but almost immediately, the difficulty is unreasonable. Unless you win, you don't get the extra boosts that help you win... They recently added clans so you could ask for extra lives but if you didn't use them quickly enough, they vaporized. Now, we're still asking for lives, but as of late October 2020, the section to access them is just gone. What's the point? It just isn't fun to work this hard and make so little progress. I've played for months only because I've got a weird OCD and hate to walk away from something I've invested so much time in but after a clan chat and learning I'm not alone in my disgust, I think it's time to delete and move on. Side note: Why do the ads for this game (the ones we suffer through in other games) have almost nothing to do with the actual game? They picture challenges you will NEVER see if you play. Maybe you should work harder to make the game less frustrating than devoting so much energy to what's essentially false advertising?.Smackie the FrogVersion: 50.32.2

✓ Way too many adsI really enjoy this game but there are way too many ads. I understand the need for it but either make the app ad free with one time payment or have less ads. I’m literally watching ads after every level and they are wayyy to long on top of that. It really ruins the enjoyment of the game..WhydidipayforthisVersion: 76.0.0

✓ Willing to persist a little while yetI’m quite new to playing Clockmaker and still finding my way. So much going on in the game. Perhaps game is the wrong word as it is all puzzles. A big disappointment is the lack of playing information or help. Interesting to more often than not, find myself 1 to 3 points short of completing a level and the “buy rubies” option appears! We’ll see and you asked for my rating!.Ollie's FollyVersion: 53.0.0

✓ I loved this game but …I used to play this and it was such a great game. Had to stop when it wasn’t supported by my old iPad. The game has changed and not for the better. It’s been made so much harder in order to encourage us to buy our way to success. I always pay for the gold ticket. But now it’s practically impossible to complete it in the time and collect all the prizes you’ve paid for. Just not worth purchasing . You can have a spate of winning games and you get time as a prize with each one but you can’t save or store this. Consequently you can have numerous hours ticking away unused while you’re not playing the game. It’s hardly fair; I mean, how many of us can sit for 8, 12 even 24 hours solidly playing to use up what we’ve won? As we’ve won it we should be able to keep the time. It should stop when we stop playing then restart when we begin again. This used to be, I think, the best game out there. But now they’ve got too mercenary and spoiled it just to get more money. Such a shame. And my comments won’t alter anything..PomittypimVersion: 64.0.0

✓ Hint to fastEnjoying the game but hints go to fast to read.Jnana69Version: 74.1.0

✓ GameI like this game but unfortunately it’s gotten too hard which is such a shame. I can not seem to get past the green wax doesn’t matter how hard I try I cannot complete and cross on the ferry. I have never bought anything from game which made it very popular!! Cause we could all play! I don’t have a Visa card. So I’m trapped!! Can not move on. And there is only so much I can take with losing all the time. So if some other games don’t turn up soon I will be deleting.AnnettegaiteVersion: 48.167.0

✓ Too many ads!!I understand that ad revenue is required but jeeze….way too many ads. Really takes away from the enjoyment of the game!.CrankytornadoVersion: 73.1.1

✓ Beautiful game but greed has certainly taken over…Update: once again I am getting inundated with ads. Give us an option to play with no ads - I would gladly pay that, in fact I thought I had when I first started playing years ago. And the developers are still giving us the option of paying money to get gems and boosts, but wow has the price gone UP. If we spend $44 we get the privilege of 24 hours of unlimited play with boosts. $44? Are you kidding me? I used to spend money every week on this game. No more. Greed has clearly taken over. As a long time daily player and weekly spender I am so disappointed. I love Clockmaker! It’s ridiculous how much I used to play - completely addicting. That said, I have reduced my rating from 5 stars to 2. Why? Simple. The unbelievable number of ads now. Every 2-3 turns you have to sit through an ad. I understand that the developers want to make money, but it is just terrible how many ads there are now, particularly featuring violent games. I actually spend money on this app, purchasing extra coins, etc., so I do not appreciate being made to watch ads. Make an ad-free version of this game. I would buy that, but I find myself playing less now. Also rewards have been reduced. Overall, what started out as a calm, but challenging game with beautiful graphics has devolved into a money pit. So disappointing..GreensboroncVersion: 68.0.0

✓ You have ruined what was a great gameThis is an awesome game, however with the latest changes you have just made the game more expensive to play, you halved the amount of gems you can buy so it costs more, not fair at all, turning a great game into a money grabbing exercise in frustration.MajubbyVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Great game on paper, but too difficult to enjoy.I downloaded this game and I knew almost instantly that it would be a difficult game. Like other games, it all started out fairly well, but rapidly got very difficult, if not impossible to get any decent gameplay. I did enjoy the difficult gameplay, until it got impossible to pass any level at all, obviously to entice you to buy rubies, etc. While I accept that the developers have a right to a decent income, with this game it’s at the expense of the players. I did like the quirkinesses of this game and still do, but not at my expense..Aeowyn50Version: 57.1.0

✓ Why the nerf?There’s a saying - if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Used to love this game and regularly paid each travel season to upgrade. It actually used to be worth the money. Now the prizes are so stingy and so hard to progress with just about every level being near impossible to pass. Even the events are ridiculously hard. I am now at the point where instead of a relaxing and challenging game, it’s a source of pure frustration. Before this latest update I would have rated this a 5 star game, now I’m looking for something else to enjoy in my downtime..Megsmith7722Version: 71.0.0

✓ Just one bug. 👆🏻I LOVE this game! It’s so much fun, the story is great and you can pass the levels with perseverance and a little luck. There’s just one bug that frustrates me: When trying to buy in App purchases, you tap your selection, it shows a ‘loading’ message for a split second and then nothing happens. 😭 Please fix this and then it will actually be perfect and get a 5 star rating from me..ImsnowthoVersion: 45.439.0

✓ ImpossibleI have read some reviews on this game about not being able to win. It didn’t say which level they were on only that it was impossible to win. Let me tell you that is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. When you are in quest and you have to go from the first puzzle all the way to number 26 to win the power ups or to win extra plays FORGET ABOUT IT. It won’t let you win unless you buy the power-ups and even then it just keeps putting all of the matching blocks on top or away from where you need them to be. Anyone that gets this game should be very leery about it. It wouldn’t be a problem say on your 10th try it becomes winnable but not when they give you days to complete a quest and you cant get passed the first level. And since I have read where the developers know about this ( they was asking for what level and to go to Facebook to discuss it. When they can pull up your game play and see what’s been happening) and it’s still this way shows that they made it this way and don't plan on changing it .. This could of been a really fun game instead it turns out it’s just another annoying scam .... to bad for them.DocovVersion: 38.107.0

✓ What’s happening with the game??Come on clockmaster, we have had no new challenges for about 5 days and I am unable to move forward on any of the levels I’ve reached unless I want to spend money to buy gems and you’ve also reduced the amount of jewels and additional bonus on your hard level offer!

✓ Belarusian developersI enjoyed this game for years, until they became more and more greedy. It is impossible to advance without making purchases. On top of that, the increasing pop up ads are constant. Their “support” is terrible. I see more and more complaints where they make excuses for freezes and glitches and usually blame the players or our internet connections. The last straw came when I learned they are from Belarus! Enough! I resigned from my “Society” and deleted the app. I will not support any Belarusian or Russian apps. In looking at the negative reviews, of which there are many, I see the biggest complaint is the relentless ads. The developers’ excuse is that they need the ad money in order to improve the game. Where is the improvement?! The glitches, freezes, getting booted out are worse than ever! If they receive all this money from ads, then why are they charging players more and more to get anywhere? I am glad I deleted this app! Stand with Ukraine! According to my research, Belka Games is headquartered in Belarus. If this is incorrect, please update me. I do not want to spread misinformation. You did not address my major complaint which is the unrelenting ads..SueinnhVersion: 71.1.0

✓ Really IrritatedHello, I downloaded this game about 3 weeks ago. I have spent approximately $50 on this game buying rubies. I love playing this game but I have been trying to pass the same 3 levels for 3 days. Now guaranteed I could pay $8.99 for a safe full of rubies and pass these levels. Unfortunately I can’t pay anymore money to this or any other game. I am on a fixed income. Spending that money on a game is just down right stupid. It is really unfair to any player to have to spend money to win!! Will I keep playing? I really haven’t decided yet. You should have a way to earn rubies and get them for playing a level. Not by people paying for them! People like me who are disabled, seniors etc that are home a lot like to play games. At some point it gives us a sense of fulfillment to finish hard levels or even an entire game. If we can pass the levels. Please restructure your game and add in free rubies!!!! I want to continue playing. I don’t want to play the same levels day after day because I refuse to pay more money for rubies. A response would be nice but because this isn’t a 5 star review I doubt anybody will take the time to write back to me. Have a great day!! KJV.Kimmie j vVersion: 59.0.0

✓ Keeps freezingIt’s a fun game when it works, although the advertisements are often incredibly long and sometimes freeze too. But freezing especially just after a game is a regular feature now. I have had to delete and reinstall several times in the last few weeks. My progress is partially restored but any boosts that are midway cease immediately. It’s a bore and the game is now on its final warning before I delete it forever..Mazza10mazzaVersion: 70.1.0

✓ Game ruined by recent changesThis used to be a great match three type game. The stories were corny, but there was enough variation in the game play to keep it more interesting than other similar games. There was also a good balance between free content, rewards in game, and paid content, (although the ads sometime caused the game to freeze.) Recently the rewards from the “Travel Season” have been greatly reduced, shattering that balance. These rewards used to frequently include 2 hours of unlimited lives, giving you a reasonable opportunity to progress at the higher levels. These have been removed, so now you are limited to five lives most of the time. Progress is not possible. Time to find a new game..Zammi21Version: 71.0.0

✓ Fun but too expensiveThis was quite fun until I reached the levels that include the time bombs. I don’t enjoy the time pressures at all, and can’t get past them, as all the puzzles simultaneously included them once I got to that level. The developers are fairly greedy re the need to purchase in-house help so I assume the point is to get users spending more money. So I’m about to delete the game because it’s not fun anymore. Shame..NuddersVersion: 43.191.0

✓ ClockmakerTerrible game, waste of time, now I can’t even delete it.SuefosterVersion: 73.2.0

✓ ArgghhhSo, as so many other reviews have pointed out, it is yet another swipe to match game. There are no other puzzles; at least not that I have come across yet. However, I thought I would give it a go. It started off ok and it does give you quite a lot of bonuses etc however, some of the levels to win these bonuses are just ridiculously difficult to win unless you spend the typical gems for extra moves. The most recent levels it is taking like 20-30 times to go to the next level. I am so fed up with apps and their in app purchasing model. What has happened to just paying a set price for a game and using the items/gems you win in the game to progress? Greed is what has happened. I understand there needs to be financial viability, but the prices charged as just completely absurd..Whittles1967Version: 45.542.0

✓ AdsThis games ADS on other games are far too long. Over a minute is ridiculous. Yes I know you need the adds but that is just plain stuid.Hard to give a reviewVersion: 76.0.0

✓ You have to make in-game purchases to get aheadI like this game alright, but a person shouldn’t have to make in-game purchases to win levels. I’ve been stuck on the same level for a couple days, and I absolutely refuse to pay for anything. It’s not fun when you can’t move ahead. Also, I find that often they just don’t give you enough moves either, and the “suggestions” for moves doesn’t help you. I think it’s time to delete this game. Edited: honestly, your response is exactly what I would expect from a stupid game developer…I already know I can play the game without paying for “helps”…I’m saying that you get so far in the game and then in order to move ahead, it’s either pay for a “help” or stay stuck forever. That is why I deleted the game..ThisgametoomanyadsVersion: 74.1.0

✓ Too many ads. Too many glitches.It seems that every time there is an update, the game has more ads. Please note, I have not purchased ROYAL MATCH or MERGE MANSION and I NEVER WILL! Some nights the ads last MORE more than 30 seconds each.🤮 To make matters worse, I have been needing to restart my iPad due to glitches that cause ads to freeze. Annoying. I still enjoy the games for the most part, but stop the constant ads. I sent this review several months ago and got a canned reply explaining how important the ad revenue is. I understand. However, ad time should not take up as much time as actually playing the game does. As for the glitches, they are worse than ever. Usually not on the game itself, but with the ads. Every day, sometimes more than once, the ad goes to a black screen or just a “Buy” prompt. And, as others have reported, when I restart I have lost advancement or special purchases. It’s a fun game, and I like that there are several games going on at the same time, but PLEASE FIX THE GLITCHES AND DECREASE THE LONG, STUPID ADS,.Azmomcat7400Version: 77.0.0

✓ Clockmaker just another game?Why make a game that is so difficult. People will just quit.GrantrinVersion: 50.32.5

✓ A BIG pass, on this game...not what it’s advertised to be.The game I had played for years has gotten too hard, so I had seen this one as an ad in that game and others. It looked like it had many mini games. So I downloaded and stated to play. Passed through seven or eight buildings, but it was all just a match game. Where’s the variety of the ads? Not in this game, an there are lots of off shoot adventures to play, but I’ve gotten to a point that there are so many things happening in the match game that I just can’t win! Try, having to clear the board of background squares and having timed bombs dropping in, which you have to make a color match to disarm at the same time. And I’m talking MULTIPLE color bombs, which are next to impossible to make the color matcha, as the color blocks are just not falling in the colors you need to explode them. Ugh, it could be much more fun, if it didn’t go from fun to impossible so fast. I’ve played this game about a week, and I’m done trying to do the impossible without spending mega money to get the gems that allow you to add 10 extra turns to your game. Good bye, Clockmaker! It looked promising, but turned way too hard too soon. And I really didn’t care what the townspeople were talking about, either..Momcat2355Version: 58.0.0

✓ Needs to provide better clarity on rules and tricks within appGraphics are beautiful and game is well done except that one has to learn the nuances of how to play each level effectively through trial and error. The game has limits on the number of times you can play and not win before (unless you buy helpers) so it gets frustrating to figure out. Better explanations would help. Furthermore, some levels feel as though they are very hard (impossible?) to complete without extras which have to be bought or won..Tfow2Version: 50.32.5

✓ Demoralising and Greedy DevelopersThe app itself is designed extremely well and the village is so pretty to construct...however, when an offer to buy gems or obtain special power ups to win a puzzle, appear in the first 5 seconds of game play, that's a huge red flag and warning sign of how it's going to continue. The interface is riddled with special offers for gems, and special items needed to elevate in the game. It's pure greed, and nothing more. I got to about the 5th level and could not continue any further without losing all my rewards if I refused to continue by PURCHASING gems to use to continue playing the game... What a rip off. You won't get a cent from me. I'd rather spend £20 on MOTORWORLD BIKE FACTORY than a cent on this game. Least you get your monies worth. This is one of those games that prey on your need to feel important, it's crafted in such a way to make you pay so you can be recognised on a leader board. Brilliant for narcissistics. I imagine the developers are soulless, greedy yuppies living their lives up on Monico, on your hard earned money, litterally laughing at you. They don't even respond to your comments, so that tells you it's just another trap, run by greedy unethical theives. Not for me. Deleted. I'd give Zero stars if I could..Sky2cafeVersion: 78.0.0

✓ What has happenedI’ve loved this game but for some reason, Ive been getting notices that it won’t play anymore on my I pad whi ch is completely up to date so after 2 years I had to delete it and all its data. I am not happy.Elly 2056Version: 55.0.0

✓ So and so game - Misleading AdsThe game is nothing amazing. Just another standard candy-crush-like game. It becomes gradually more and kore difficult and the energy gauge runs out after a number of plays so you need to wait for refills to play more or pay to refill it. However, the ads which advertise this game are totally misleading and do not reflect the actual gameplay. If you cannot make people play your game by promoting its actual gameplay then you might want to make another game….KosutasVersion: 59.0.0

✓ Not Suitable for ChildrenParents should be advised that although this game is rated 4+ it is totally unsuited for younger children. The game constantly tries to get you to buy jewels and inventory to speed game play and temps even further with so called special offers. This alone makes it a worry but it also constantly makes you watch ads that try and sell you more games. Some children may know the value of money but younger ones don't and this game will constantly nag them which in turn will comeback to you, this rapidly becomes an unpleasant experience. You hear horror stories of children running up huge bills where parents have not turned off in-app purchasing. It is better to pay a reasonable one off charge for a game which children are playing rather than getting one with in app purchasing especially when there is a such constant pressure to spend ever more money. As for the game it is well crafted but essentially just an ever increasingly difficult jewel match type gameplay with a few item finding puzzles wrapped up in a storeyline. Again the difficulty ramps up fairly quickly in an effort to make you buy more jewels etc. Unfortunately this type of game is all to common and parents should consider if their children may be exploited with constant in-app purchasing pressure which is becoming ever more sophisticated..AircubVersion: 61.0.0

✓ I really wanted to like this game.I did the thing I don’t normally do and downloaded this from an ad that popped up on another game I have installed. The environment and atmosphere are great as is the music. It’s a little hard to qualify the typical pick 3 game format as puzzle or a game of chance in some cases. This one lies squarely in the games of chance category. I’ve seen reviews where the devs tout their constant attention to level balance and strive for challenging levels. However, there is a point in the game, where you will start to hit levels that are ONLY possible to complete with the use of upgrades and items in the game...and that’s ok. It is free, but you have the choice to buy those upgrades and pay to move the story forward. There are a lot of opportunities to win these items and upgrades in weekly challenges, but in the end it becomes a grind to move the story forward as opposed to enjoying a casual game to pass some time. I have since uninstalled the game, but I would say enjoy the first part of the experience. It was fun, but then it wasn’t..FenderBossVersion: 44.213.0

✓ Not HappyI used to love this game, but the higher you level the harder it gets. Which can be expected, but this ridiculously hard. There never seems to be enough moves to complete the level without tools, and most of times you need to use diamonds which you have to buy to win. There are not enough rewards to get through the levels. The introduction of the spider webs was a real deal breaker. They seem to be in every level of the building game. I think if you do not fix at least some of these issues you are going to lose players. I know l will be leaving, as you have taken the fun out of the game and it is only a money making venture for the creators. Please look at the issues l have suggested and do not dismiss this lightly. I have invested 2 years in this game..Tarlis1957Version: 70.1.0

✓ End of an era…For years this has been my ultimate go to game. Even when they hiked up the prices, when you paid more and got less, when the games made you spend in order to advance… I thought it was a business and of course needed to make money. Unfortunately, I can’t learn to live with the ads. They’re not even the shorter ones but those hideously long and ridiculous ones that think if you press the x to get rid of the ad after having watched it, if it takes you to the App Store you will actually upload the dreadful thing…. Such a fall from Grace for such a wonderful game.The Fall of the MightyVersion: 70.1.0

✓ Fun...but....The game is fun, the graphics are outstanding, the sounds are great. However, the game ceases to be fun when it’s obvious some levels are impossible to beat without the need (at a cost) of additional moves or helps, even with those, it can take quite a few attempts to beat. I don’t mind a game where some levels require several attempts to overcome, but some of these levels are ridiculous. I appreciate the number of hours that are won and I have played for hours. I realize the developers are quite savvy, give you free hours you are more likely to play longer, play longer you are tempted to buy rubies and helps at a premium cost. Filling some type of vessel so it can be redeemed once it’s full is a common thread throughout plenty of games. Some games reward you with your collection, some charge a nominal monetary fee, but I find it disappointing that Clockwork charges $8.99 to obtain what you’ve earned playing the game. I’m sorry, but you are losing another player, I really enjoyed your game. The developers must really be laughing all the way to the bank. Bye!.TrishA2004Version: 45.453.0

✓ Rip offsJust like every other RIP OFF game!.Granma angVersion: 50.32.5

✓ New updateDon’t really like new update as can’t get any more lives so only can play the until lives run out unless you pay! Seem to also find that it’s getting harder and harder to pass a level, which I do understand the longer you play or higher level you are but kinda getting ridiculous when spending 2-4 days to pass one game , loosing interest! Been playing for few years so maybe time to find something else.Mistie1967Version: 71.0.0

✓ Too hard56!!!Some levels are almost impossible without purchasing . Very unfair I am considering giving up the game and not recommending it. Even trying to do a review is made difficult!!!! many of the reviews from others are saying the same thing but your not listening You are making your money from the sponsors that we have to watch to play your game and the ads have increased I also note. Show some loyalty to the loyal players if your game or they will leave just like I’m thinking.Toohard56!!!Version: 51.0.2

✓ It’s all about the moneyThis game was enjoyable for a while, but now to even do levels not classed as ‘hard’ you need to spend money to buy boosts to use. It’s ALL geared towards you spending money, which is a shame. Was great, now a money grab.Shearer16Version: 68.0.0

✓ Was great but now many adsI played this a lot but I’ve noticed lately that there are more ads and it’s too much. I stop playing quicker.HellobroskieVersion: 72.0.0

✓ So hard it’s boringOf all the games to come along since Candy Crush, this is one of the worst. It’s stupidly hard which just makes it boring and repetitive. If there is a bonus for a first time level completion, don’t worry you won’t get it. The special events are a joke. Purely designed to get players to pay for more lives. Family Guy and Futurama are better executed, more entertaining and much fairer. Judging by the cut and paste response to this, and many other reviews, clockmaker doesn’t really care about making this game ‘better’. The only thing that has changed is the number of ads, and an increase in difficulty to encourage players to spend more. DELETED!.Tommo1311Version: 44.185.0

✓ Good game - lots of adverts, prizes getting worse.The game is good as long as you don’t mind the frequent adverts. I have played the game for upwards of two years, sadly it’s getting worse. I have fed this back (as have others through the Facebook page). There are not as many events and the prizes have dropped dramatically. If you have never played it before then it’s another match 3 game, but expect a similar experience as all the others. It’s a huge shame as it used to be the best and really stand out, now it’s just another game..VbbbccfghgdVersion: 71.3.0

✓ DisappointedI used to love this game until a problem I had with an accidental purchase of a season pass ,I was told I had to go through Apple Pay which I did when I. Finally got a reply I was told no refund asked for a reconsideration then told I don’t meet the criteria for a refund (no explanation of what that is) I didn’t use the pass and the by the 3 days it took to sort the pass had expired £6 .99 Is a lot to lose when on benefits , I did get a reimbursement from a different game last year without a problem, I don’t get out very often due to illness so I love my games , really thinking of deleting this one.Ma2268Version: 73.0.1

✓ Purchases don’t transferVery fun game. Unfortunately if you purchase anything, they don’t transfer between platforms, even when you sign in. They say each platform is a unique account, even though you are playing under the same profile, this seems unfair and a bit of a rip off. Too bad too. It was fun..CloudseerVersion: 54.0.0

✓ Challenging GameMad props to the game designers, they certainly know how to craft difficult game play. I made it to the Bakery before finally giving up on this game. I played the game for two days and I got only to the 6th building in the game and I’m an avid game player. I enjoy challenging boards and thinking through a puzzle, but for beginning levels at the start of the game, the boards are way too difficult. It makes me wonder what the hard boards are like once a player really gets into the game. I get why people complain you have to use boosters or spend money to pass a board if the beginning boards take most of the day to get through. On top of that, I finally beat a very difficult board and then I wasn’t even given the item I needed. Super frustrating. Also, the bombs I can create with the gems are pretty useless unless the bomb is next to what I want to explode, I’d like a bigger explosion using all three of the created line not just the bomb tile itself. On the plus side, the graphics are well done and the game did not glitch or crash. This game has potential once the developers figure out that players need to play awhile and be invested in the story before making the levels so challenging or they are going to have a lot of frustrated players that end up abandoning the game like me..Puglets3Version: 45.214.0

✓ Fun but the crashes are costlyJust lost PAID lives again. The game drops away usually at the most inconvenient times and lives plus time are lost assets..NzbutterflyVersion: 46.177.0

✓ Disappointed, very disappointedThe concept of this game is very sound, it plays well and is challenging enough to keep even the most hard core gamers attention. However it has a major flaw that drove me to remove it from my devices - advertising. The constant inane and quite frankly, rubbish ads, make it insufferable, poor quality games such as Evony. How Clockmaker achieved game of the day defies logic, the judges must have been given a different version, one without the advertising. One of the first rules of advertising is make it entertaining, the adverts in this game are just infuriating. Not only do you have to watch ads to gain lives but they are annoyingly inserted randomly between games, destroying concentration totally, and all this in a game that can cost you a king’s ransom if you start purchasing the add-ons, which, if the players are children, will cause devastation to a parent’s credit card. Why the game can’t be purchased outright is beyond me; a lot of people would buy it. In summary, I recommend that you avoid this game, it’s simply not worth the angst and if it had been possible, I would have given it no stars at all; go and watch TV instead, at least their ads can on occasion be interesting..Michael.DVersion: 58.0.0

✓ Mixed feelingsI truly enjoyed this game at the beginning, as there are interesting levels, events etc.,but there are too many ads (although I understand why, so no issues or stars removed because of it). However, in the last few days it has been crashing a lot, like I can’t complete a level. It kicks me out mid level and of course if I had used a booster to start the level with, I lose it. Based on that I can’t give it more than 3 stars at this time, sorry..Betz StVersion: 62.0.1

✓ Hate the update with the incessant buggy advertisementsWas one of my favourite time waster with varied challenges and interesting levels. But the recent update with the incessant advertising that drops in at odd times and do not let you skip easily. Given the option of more moves in games by watching repetitive ad wore thin when they are so buggy, I kept having to restart the game repeatedly. So disappointed, you’ve ruined a great game! Deleting like many are until you take the ads away. Such a stupid thing as you had such strong community engagement..MelviniteVersion: 51.1.0

✓ Read the terms of service and the privacy policyDeleting this app before even playing it. Read the terms of service and the privacy policy. Not happening..Razorcars2Version: 77.0.0

✓ Clickbait!If I could give this game a negative rating, I would. I find it loathsome when a game promo shows animation that is so loosely based on the actual game, as to be almost entirely disassociated from it. Games that force you to play a themed version of Candy Crush 95% of the time should be banned from the App Store, unless they explicitly reveal that it will be 95% of the game. It wastes valuable time, which people who are looking for games that challenge their intellect will only despise!.Mick_PsyphonVersion: 47.437.0

✓ Not what I thought it would beI was attracted to the ads for this game and when I started playing I realised it was not as advertised. Maybe I didn’t find the interesting games? I did play for days and it appeared to be a gem drop game with a bit of a story? It would have been fine if thats what I was expecting, but I really thought it would be a lot more interesting. Its pretty...if you like gems... but not what was advertised..PlastercastVersion: 55.1.1

✓ Marketing strategy is atrociousNormally I like these “Match 3” types of games, but I downloaded a game based on marketing that advertised a completely different type of game. Shame, shame, shame! Being tricked into downloading this game, I decided to give it a chance and check it out. I found the first couple of games to be quite simple, but then I was bombarded by a dizzying array of quests/storylines. Seriously, why do developers do this? When I have an entire column of icons down the side of my screen, each leading to a different set of storylines, and I haven’t had the game for more than 6 hours, I’m not going to stick around - I need to invest too much executive function for it to be worth my while. You’re giving people too many choices. Normally I just delete games like this without leaving a review, but that deceptive marketing pushed it from a 3 to a 1..Rev KristineVersion: 56.1.0

✓ I love this game but hate the ads and now bugsHave played this game for years and it is one of the few games I have ever spent money on to buy in game items. But I cannot rate if highly as the ads are ridiculous. I loved when it was a pay for item game as you could choose. When ads came in I stopped playing for a long time because you have no control. Watch this ad to get more moves fine, but say no and you watch an ad anyway just to get back to select you next game!!! That is not good at all. Sure watch ads to get more moves, great. But the random ads everywhere all the time, just leads to frustration. I now play this game mostly when I have no internet as no stupid annoying bingo ads Add to this that since the last few updates you can now have a bug where there are no valid moves but it does not shuffle. It’s just too much as I don’t want to keep using items when it should be shuffling. Until they fix this very annoying bug and tweak the ads I think it is time to find a different matching game.QazphilbyVersion: 76.0.0

✓ Worst game everYou can’t progress in the game..JacarsVersion: 73.0.1

✓ Fun to start with but...This game is fun initially, but the difficulty level goes up quickly. You soon get to the stage where you need tremendous luck to complete a board... or power ups! So you either have to keep repeating the same board again and again in the hope that the random number generator will eventually favour you or spend cash. I got frustrated and gave in to temptation and managed to complete the troublesome level. But the the next one was just as bad and the power ups were soon used. I have got to the stage where it is at the cusp of being more frustrating than fun. I will continue a little longer but I can see myself deleting this games soon. One other annoying thing is that the adverts show game play which is, as far as I can see, simply not in the game..HenJam62Version: 48.203.0

✓ Am I the only oneI have been playing for about a year. I’m not a fan of match 3 games, but it’s something different to play. And honestly, I enjoy this one. Over the past 4-6 weeks, problems. First, would select to watch an ad for 3 extra moves, or a pet, or any reward. Watch the ad, get nothing. Then the ads stopped completely. Now, over the past few days, ads are playing or trying to play, but are glitching. Between levels and trying for reward. And still no reward. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. It said it restored my position, but it didn’t do that either. I was in the second set of houses, with the ferry. Now back trying to get through the houses again, to get to the clock tower, to get to the next town. And I have to win each level with no help. I have never and will never purchase anything. That is part of the challenge Doing with what you’ve got. FIX this PLEASE!!! UPDATE: I received a response from the developer through Apple. I cannot contact the developer directly. The “contact the developer” link, in the email, is a link to Facebook. I am not on Facebook and do not care to join. Is there another way? Updating review was all I could come up with..Sunshine7513Version: 65.0.1

✓ AdsI have started to lose interest in this game since the introduction of adverts..Pablo RussoVersion: 58.0.0

✓ Fed upUnlike other swipe-3 games, this one doesn’t give regular rewards for doing well. Some other swipe-3 games offer loyalty bonuses when they bring out an update. I haven’t come across any puzzles yet and have been playing the game for about 3 weeks. I find that the levels are too hard and there are too many of them to complete before any rewards are given. The developers seem focussed on making you pay for bonuses rather than awarding random bonus lives. I will be uninstalling this game as I seem to be getting nowhere. The graphics are good, that’s why I have given it 2 stars..MegandocVersion: 50.32.5

✓ Beware Low Visioners!This game looked great in preview so I downloaded it. However, when I began to play I struggled to see the puzzles or read the text. I understand that they are going for a specific look and feel for the storyline but they failed some basic design concepts for those with vision problems. I have a standard iPhone 8 fir screen comparison running the latest iOS. I already adjusted my phone for my low vision but the game doesn't seem to adjust. The printed text is tiny much too small for most people to read without straining. Next, the text is dark brown on tan background which doesn't provide enough contrast to read easily. Finally, add in some small screen components and dark artwork. Complete recipe for disaster if you have vision difficulties. Sadly I will be removing the game because straining my vision isn't worth the play through. After only 3 minutes of play, I ended up with eye strain and headache. If you don't have vision issues this game story seems worth a try but if you do you should move onto something a but easier to play..ZalereaVersion: 35.41.0

✓ False advertisingThis game was fun to a point. But what was advertised in the games I play was not what the game is. Neurobiologists are NOT begging older people to play this game and the puzzles advertised are a tiny part of the game and do NOT show how “young” your brain is when you complete the advertised puzzles. Being older, that’s what attracted me and probably other older adults. Boo! It also over does the number of elements to the game and not all of them fit together. I deleted it after a few days..Bunzostuarde1Version: 60.0.1

✓ Not like it used to beIt’s with a heavy heart that once I use up my rubies I will be deleting this game. I have been playing it for well over a year and really enjoyed it, but now it appears the developers have become too greedy and want money from you left right and centre. The clock safe has gone from 100 rubies to 75 but you have to spend the same to get it, the travel season has gone from 30 days to 14, but the gold pass costs the same and the levels have become far too difficult so you need to use your boosters or spend money on rubies to get anywhere. I’m not enjoying it anymore and am having to spend too much money so I’ve had to take the decision to delete Clockmaker. ☹️.ScottishmeerkatVersion: 51.1.0

✓ Recent changes make this more frustrating than everGot into this game as it had an Apple Watch app as well as iPhone. Cute idea and fun but over time more and more frustrating. Recent changes have made it worse - namely reformatting the daily gifts to where a free 5 or 10 rubies is no longer an option and you no longer have a chance at getting items you need to complete a level. Instead, you get one bomb or maybe 30 minutes of infinite lives (something that goes to waste when I play on a 15 minute break at work - the infinite lives should have a pause function especially if the app is closed/force quit). This change in particular means it literally takes sometimes weeks to beat certain levels with no chance of getting an item to move on. The new pop ups that used to have a “Don’t show again” option urging you to continue (by spending rubies for more moves) no longer let you stop them from popping up and with every app update the wording changes to get more annoying. They used to only show up on weekends but now it’s constant. I get that apps try to make money but this game takes it to an extreme and that’s made it harder and harder to play with every update..Margaux1214Version: 35.41.0

✓ Played this game for 6 years, every dayI have played this game loyally for 6 years, EVERY DAY, HONEST and spent money on it. When I first started playing this game, the rewards were awesome. Then they were awesome for a small amount of money. They did very generous rewards. Now….. It’s unbelievably stingy. Also , they got rid of all the genuine rewards….. Raiway and the gambling one. Now the new reward contests are very hard and when you do get them, after hours of gameplay you get very stingy rewards. I have spent even more money on this after 5 years of spending money……..a lot of money…….I still miss out. Bring back the events that give you genuine and decent prizes for your money. Rewards that give you decent prizes, especially if you are paying extra. I feel that you are now……money grabbing. I’m now moving on to other games. I was loyal. It did nothing for me. A lesson to be learnt. I spent soooooooooo much money on your game over 6 years. Now you are money grabbing. The money I’ve spent over last few weeks got me NOTHING.BARMEY FOR BUYING THIS APPVersion: 68.0.0

✓ Great Zen experienceThis app is fantastic if your seriously into Zen meditation. It has a lovely musical background, which I find soothing and I enjoy the lay out. That’s the only thing good about this game. It’s very clear that the owners goal is to “try” to get rich. Everything in the game is designed to Force you to buy extra... to beat a level, or it can take months for someone to do so. And they are very stingy about their rewards and gifts for daily logins. Also, repeatedly, I beat a level, and it shows that I got five rubies, but they are never added to my collection of gems. Truthfully, I am embarrassed by how much I like this game for practically no rewards for progress. I have purchased gems in the past, and they literally vanished. When I wrote them about it, I never got a response. I will never give them money again. Whoever writes their algorithms designed them so that you frequently get down to one or two gems left to clear, but you cannot, most of the time, get what you need. It’s greedy game owners - who don’t care if you aren’t wealthy enough to keep wasting your money. As a retired senior on a fixed income, who is currently fighting cancer my budget is tight. I really like this game, but it’s coding and algorithms are clearly designed to make you spend money to progress with any expediency. I’m ashamed to tell anyone how much I play this game and how greedy they are compared to other game apps..RutahillVersion: 40.218.0

✓ Rip-Off!Players beware! Like most games, the more you get into it, the more difficult levels become…I like that .. up the challenge. What is VERY disappointing about Clockmaker is they are so freakin’ greedy. You buy more rubies to get extra moves..play the extra moves….have just one more thing to get & dang if it doesn’t take even more rubies to buy extra moves to eat the level. Not so bad, but here is the real kicker….if you don’t buy more moves, & more moves, you lose everything you have just earned….Example: you beat the first level…earned enough whatever to get “Super Lightning”…yay!!! Super Lightning is good for like 45 hours….unless you lose it because you don’t buy rubies to finish a level. I am done….too much of my hard-earned money is going into these people’s pockets to continue to be this frustrated & angry….life is sweet & too short….going back to games that don’t kill you with ads, charge $7 for a pass (that does NOT last a month like most other games), and I refuse to spend $20 to belong to some special players club…seriously??? Bye-Bye Clockmaker!!!.ITGrad424Version: 77.0.0

✓ Getting boredI was really enjoying this game but have now been stick on the same level for many, many days! There should be a way of by-passing levels and going to the next level, after all these games are supposed to be a bit of fun.......doing one level over and over again is not my idea of fun so, sadly, I will be deleting this game! Thank you for your response but the truth is I have been trying to get past one level for SO long that I am really losing interest. Funnily enough it is the same level I got stuck on some time ago when I deleted the game last time!!l Maybe it’s not for me!.Spirit fairyVersion: 45.439.0

✓ Can Be Enjoyable Until You Have to Play BingoI love the music and enjoyed the game for quite a while. Not particularly competitive, just enjoyed playing. Until it became apparent that there were some levels that were impossible to pass unless the game makers decided to give you a break. It is beyond annoying to be forced to play in only one small section of the board, where no move will do you any good. Then after wasting several moves the board will reshuffle because there are no moves. I have had the board reshuffle three times in one game. More than once. The game lost its fun factor when it became obvious there was no way to move past a board because you were not going to win no matter how many times you played. The layout of the board is determined by the developers and it is very obvious winning is not part of the game. Playing the same board over and over and over is boring. And I refuse to even play the boards with bombs in them. The bombs, all of them, start ticking down before you can even access them. This game gets old fast. New update added bingo. The bingo game loads first and you can't get out of it. If you want to play you have to play bingo. Removing this app. If I wanted to play bingo, I would download a bingo app..LeelaleepVersion: 53.0.0

Better FREE games out there so don't know why anyone still playing this. As I've been replied to, I'll add that yes, you do have side trials that help add "free" bits and bobs BUT, they too have been reduced and are pushed on you via extra adverts. If I choose not to watch an advert in order to get something extra, I'm still made to watch one anyway, stupid and reductive. You got greedy, just admit it and don't come back at a player who truly enjoyed playing your game. You ruined it, not me!.MemawheezeVersion: 73.1.0

✓ Clockmaker, don’t play unless you are willing to pay to finish levels.I’ve been playing this game for several months now and although the game has the potential to be awesome I’m about to delete it. This is due to the fact that on many levels I have won 2 or more hours free play and used all of then trying to get off different levels without success.....HOWEVER....if you pa y the 5 or 7 or more crystals for extra moves you can miraculously finish the level. I know the developer needs to make money bu this is fast becoming no different to a gambling issue. I love playing the game but will no longer play unless the levels are realistically possible to finish without the level having to resort to Dick Turpin tactics......TeedubblyadeeVersion: 45.439.0
