Numberzilla: Number Match Game

I have been playing this over a few days, and it’s very addictive and fun, and and I have been enjoying it immensely. However, there are some circumstances in the game that I will press the “add” button to add more numbers, and it will only add two or three numbers that can’t be combined, that alternate (such as 2, 4, and 7, and it will keep repeating in different combinations of these three), forcing me to either keep pressing add, in which case I get the same numbers continually popping up, and not allowing me to actually make any moves because none of the numbers actually appear consecutively. This has occurred 4 times within the past few days, and it is frustrating for the game to put me in a position when I cannot make any moves. This seems like a bug, and I hope it can be dealt with. Also, I also agree with a previous review that there should be something added where it will tell you whether or not there are pairs left. As there does not seem to be a way I have found to easily “finish” the game or win, I feel that there is no need to be competitive with hints and such, and just as plenty of other games do, they bring in their audience by listening to them, and feeling stuck and not knowing whether there are pairs or not leaves me feeling frustrated.

This game is a lot of fun to play and keeps me occupied during long car rides. I love that it makes me really search for matches and numbers that are a sum of 10. Most of the reviews are giving it 1 star since “The ends don’t match”, however there is a very detailed instruction of what to do before you start to play. If you watch that, you will know what to do. So although this is a great game, there are some things I’m not crazy about. The thing that makes me most upset is that it takes a hint away to tell you there are no matches. I think that if that is the case, it should not take a hint away. Again, that is just my opinion and I will continue to play happily. I recommend this game to anyone!

I love the concept of this game and I’m enjoying it, but I’ve got to echo what some other reviewers have said: 1. The cost to remove ads is WAY too high for *one* game that only has three modes, no live content, no other premium features. I was hoping I could pay $4.99 tops, once- that’s about the limit of reasonable for a game like this in my book- but $9.99 a WEEK is outrageous. Please think hard about that cost- I guarantee you could make up a price cut in volume of purchasers, because $40/month is way too much for an average player. You can subscribe to gaming services for less and play dozens of games! 2. Feature suggestion: power-ups that could remove a single number, or clear a row or column. 3. It’d be ideal if it didn’t cost you a hint to confirm there are no matches to be made. 4. The differences between the modes in terms of how new numbers are added isn’t very clear or obvious. I’ve played on random happily and productively for hours sometimes, and other times quit in frustration in less than two minutes because the numbers that were added created a pattern where matches were impossible. That’d be a good reason to have a feature like #2 above!

I really was enjoying this game, but a couple of things. After I got the hang of it, things were going really well, but it wasn’t clear when or how I would “finish”. So after several hours (which I wasn’t crazy about seeing the time I spent on it being kept track of), I quit and started over. Then it wasn’t so fun. I kept getting the sequence of numbers with very few matches. Every time I quit and restarted, I’d get the same sequence of mostly unmatchable numbers. I’m thinking it’s a bug. I’m going to reinstall it. Hopefully that will help, because this was one of the most satisfying puzzle games I’ve played.

While the game itself is fun, I was obviously hustled. I gave in an signed up for the absurdly and unnecessarily expensive $9.99 per WEEK (per month is a least moderately reasonable, but per WEEK is absurd) “unlimited” plan with intentions of enjoying the subscription on the weeks I could afford it. Even after subscribing, I still have 0 hints, and every time I try to get a hint it redirects me to sign up for the unlimited. When I click to sign up (thinking the game simply hasn’t recognized the purchase yet), I’m told that I already have a subscription and shown how to manage my subscriptions, but the hints STILL show 0. I’ve tried closing out the app and restarting it, I’ve tried restarting my phone, and I get the same thing. Developer hustles you into buying the subscription then doesn’t actually give you what you’ve paid for.
