Had to give 5 stars so my comment can be seen.
Love the game. Really fun/challenging..till ablut Lvl 60. Then it forces you to go ad free…extremely sad. They want $10 no less! My opinion waaay too pricey just to remove ads. And these are not optional. They force one before AND after each level. INSTANTLY became boring and no longer engaging. The Ads really ruin it. A good trial run though
New update ruined the game, don’t pay for ad free! Pay to play now.
I use to really enjoy this game. I felt like you could find a solution for every level. I paid for ad free and would enjoy spending some time each night running through some levels. Well they updated all the levels and now many, no matter what you do, need you to spend to get past. Pay to play is the way for most games these days. Way to ruin a fun game. After 1600 levels I’m uninstalling.
Hi!!!
A tad disproportionate, but still mind numbingly fun!
Great Game Killed by the Ads
I get that games need ads to turn a profit, but my god, this is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Ads between levels for no reason. Not to replenish your lives or get power ups, just to “take a break.” And on top of it, some of the ads are broken and you have to quit the game to escape them. Damn, this could have been so good.
Negative Coins!
I’ve recently updated the app and literally every time I try to make a purchase, I see the coins going negative and I end up with NOTHING I paid for except a pop up confirming my payment. This is STEALING!
Fun challenge
Hate the ads
Ads Suck
The game was fun until you hit level 40. The ads play after EACH TRY and they don’t go away. Terrible. Do Not Recommend.
Too expensive
Items too expensive and you can’t play without them.
Help
Level 1118 bucket not collecting sand that’s clearly there. Can’t find support info
Too many ads
I do understand that ads are needed in order to provide a free game. But unless you pay the $12.99 this game is actually more ads and very little game.
Decent
I’ve played this too much - level 1756! It’s a decent game, I have not paid a cent, the adverts are not too intrusive and not inappropriate. Lately I have needed adverts to progress but I’ve enjoyed the journey
Pay to win
You hit a point with the levels that you have to use the abilities to win and if you’re out the only way to get more is to spend money. Which is ridiculous.
Fun game, but …
This is a really fun game but it needs to provide more ways to make coins. I know you need to make money but give your players a break.
literally drove me insane
i swear to god i must’ve tried level 177 a thousand times. so many times i ended with five buckets on the belt, all filled to about 90% with the pixels just out of reach. i tried so many different strategies, even watched a few walkthroughs which (even with following them to the letter !) never worked. didn’t even have enough coins to just skip it since i already spent them on the other puzzles that seemed near impossible. in the past few days i’ve lost hours of sleep, dozens of hearts, and all of my sanity. tldr: fun game, but rigged to make you spend money on coins after a certain point
It’s ok, so far
I just stay. I’m level 12
Fun!
Great way to pass time! Soothing
It had me for about 35 levels
I enjoyed the game and I really tried to power through the ads but the ads are the interactive ones and there’s no way of closing the ad out when it’s down and I just have to restart my app. I gave up trying to play
Fun but needs a daily gift
It’s a fun game but it really needs a free daily gift or something. If you’re stuck on a level the only option is to pay money, whereas most games allow you to get free daily gifts and you can save up your gifts to eventually skip a level
Fun at first
This game was fun at first but it became pretty clear there are levels that are impossible to pass without power ups and since you don’t get that many free ones from playing you will hit a wall where you can no longer play without paying money.
Ad freezes gam
Jigsawscapes ad freezes the game.
Costs Money
Once you get to about level 40 you can’t pass the levels without the ability to either swap the buckets around or fill a certain bucket. I have found absolutely no way to get the little cheats without actually spending money. It’s extremely frustrating. So unless you’re gonna pay money for a phone game, I would not recommend this one. It’s just disappointing.
Spyware
Regrettably, I have had to delete this app and am leaving a warning for current and future users. I noticed my phone storage being eaten up and glanced through the itemized storage. Sand Loop is about 345 mb, but its Documents and Data was a whopping 8.3 gb! Mind you, I had cellular access disabled and did not use the game with WiFi. Selecting the option in game to delete my advertising data in no way reduced the 8.3 gb documents and data allotment. Delete the app and avoid this publisher.
To meny cones
That your stuff cost too many points, but other than that, I love it
Fun at first but no more
It was fun at first but it’s gotten spammier and spammier. Can’t choose when to activate rewards anymore, so if I earn some free play time/unlimited lives, but I was only playing for a moment, it’s just wasted now. Performance has suddenly gotten _really_ choppy on an iPhone 16 pro, not exactly an old phone.
Way too many ads
But the game is fun
Addicting
I love this game. Yes it has too many ads but I got over it due to how relaxing yet challenging it is. People saying you have to pay to win just aren't any good at the game. I'm on level 500+ and haven't paid a dime.
I liked it until I got to level 57. It’s impossible to pass without real money
Do not download and not expect to spend a lot of money to pass levels. Too many other games just like this one to waste money on it. Uninstalling
Good but expensive
Some levels are impossible to pass without buying help. But I find it’s addictive and I’ve spent far too much on it. Also the much harder levels seem to be getting more frequent, so I think they’ve figured out I’m a sucker.
Level 46 is the end
Unfortunately unless you spend money you can’t get past level 46. Usually phone games you can get pretty far and really figure out if you like it and THEN spend money. I guess it’s good to know early so you don’t get addicted and sink a bunch of money in it. It you’re like me haha
Needs some tweaking
It’s a good game if you like unraveling or sorting games. Conveyor belt is a little slow for impatient people like me. :)
Sand Loop
Good game for beginners, takes a few to figure out when to grab your buckets! Enjoying it!
New update has bugs
Every time I do a purchase to keep going and not die, it takes my money and starts the level over. Frustrating!!! But other than that I love it Update: Still happening. Please fix
Mostly good!
Quite an addictive and generally enjoyable game - BUT - it’s v hard to earn rewards to help you when you get stuck, and sometimes (unless you want to pay real money) you can be stuck on a level for ages. Some of it is luck as much as skill because the buckets don’t always land in the same place even if you send them at the same time as you did previously 🤷🏻♀️. Also quite often walkthroughs online are for a different version of the game; and sometimes levels repeat themselves (yes, developers, I did notice!).
Great puzzle game, way too many ads
Lots of fun and the harder levels can really make you think. However there are far too many nonskippable ads. Lose a round? Ad before you can retry. Make a mistake and want to restart a round from the middle? Ad! Win the round? Ad before can play next round. They are trying to be so obnoxious with the ads that you pay them $ to ad block. I’ve started closing the app as soon as an ad pops up because that’s faster than waiting for an ad to play out every 2 mins.
Forced to use items.
Good game until you're forced to use/buy items because it's the only way to complete it.
Good game
Wish you one more coins so you can get through levels easier
Stole my money and Apple refuses to fix
I used to like playing this game. Sure it has levels that are specifically designed to be pay to play but that’s to be expected with this kind of game. The problem was paid for one of their packages and the game did not deliver what was promised. I protested to Apple and their AI decided that it was not eligible for refund. So if you play be aware that they will steal your money, not give you what was promised, and you will have no recourse to get it back.
fun relax
A bug here, when it shows take a break, quit and back, play the game, loose one heart.
Bricks after lvl 20
Game is sort of nice and chill. Maybe a little on the easy side… but If you don’t pay for the “no-add version, after level 20, the game locks you into an ad with the only way past being hard closing the app.
Too many ads but fun
Too many ads but very fun
Sand Loop
Awesome game but a lot of ads
WAAAAY TOO MANY ADS
can’t play a round without an ad popping up
Glitching
I decided to update the game. Now you don’t get the extra life after watching the ad!! 😡 please fix
Endless ads after every single level!
The game itself is fun. Easy to play and strategize a plan for each level some more difficult than others. I haven’t payed to win once as other reviewers have mentioned. My issue comes from all the ads. Regardless of whether you win a level or lose a level you get an ad every single time. They’re not short ads either and there’s no option to exit the ad until it’s finished. Sometimes I’ll wait over 5 minutes for the ad screen to close. I’ve begone to just play 1 level then close the app and come back whenever I get the urge to play again. Will probably uninstall.
Fun but impossible sometimes
Needs more ways to earn coins
Good
Good
Expensive
I have been stuck in the same level for several MONTHS because it gives you the tiniest daily reward for playing and the boosters or helps are so astronomically expensive that I don’t really see the worth in trying to keep playing. I’m NOT going to spend money on the app JUST to get past a level. And it’s taken me this long to get to like 563 coins. When every help is worth like 800 something. It’s not fun when you can’t progress. Turning into rage bait, honestly.
No ads but the level fails too soon
No ads in-between levels or banner ads which is a huge plus for this game, but sometime after lvl 20 the levels would declare I failed because no more sand was going in the bucket… despite sand going in the bucket. Which then depletes lives and encourages you to watch ads to get an extra life.
Mildly fun
This game is fun and that it’s cozy and easy to play and were it not for the ads I would have given it five stars. Now the ads are not incessant and that they push them in your face. It’s that once you get past level 50 you cannot advance or pass each level on a first try without requiring the tools or paying for coins. The only way to earn tools beyond what they give you when they introduced the tools is to watch advertisement. So for each level beyond level 50, I have found myself having to either watch an ad to save myself or using it to get more tools which kind of disturbs the coziness of this game. If you’re looking for a game where you can just play mindlessly this is not it. I didn’t buy the ad free options only because I felt that even without the ads I would still have to utilize so many of the ads option to just get the tools in order to survive each level without failing it on the first try heck I even restarted some level levels just to save myself and I still couldn’t get them on the second try
False Advertising
The overall gameplay mechanic depicted in ads is accurate, but there is a limit on how detailed the pictures get. The limit is nowhere close to what is advertised (1100+ levels played). All art is pixelated and colors are simple. Additionally, there are difficult group events with large grand prizes at the end. You must use power-ups and/or spend coins to reach the end. You do NOT get the grand prize at the end, however. You split it between all the winners, which is not advertised.
