What Users Love
This is fun!!! Super addicting! Can’t put it down.
I really enjoy this new version of Tetris.
Pain Points
An ad after every single level is just too frustrating
I spent more time watching ads than playing the actual game.
They want $10/MONTH to remove ads. that's not justified
No option to buy ad free for life time ? this is really weird to buy ad free for one week or one month !
