Amazing truly. I mean I can just sit on the throne and play this game for hours on hours, my kids try and get in there to use it, but I'm so addicted I make them go outside, it just takes the edge off the heart wrenching cycle of day to day life, when you just feel like you're going nowhere and you wasted all your money on your degree that got you nowhere in life except writing reviews in a Starbucks coffee shop that no one will read, this game will take your mind right off that.

Good game, needs some work
This is a fun, challenging game good for working your brain and killing some time. However, the instructions for how to play are sorely lacking. For instance, you will get "0" tiles occasionally that do not combine with any other tile. I don't know what to do with these or if something that I do in the game causes me to get more or less of them or if it's just random. The instructions don't even mention the "0" tiles. Also, you'll occasionally get an directional arrow tile that pushes everything in its path off the board. Again, the instructions don't elaborate as to whether I should use those directional arrow tiles on larger or smaller values for the most points or if I should use them on the "0" tiles. Lastly, there are coins and a lighting bolt symbol during gameplay that I have absolutely no idea what to do with. Good game, but we need more instructions!

Fun but an absolute battery drain...
This game is a lot of fun and addicting as others have stated. The 0's are not enjoyable. I know their purpose is to add challenge to the game, but they are just simply too random. I wouldn't mind them as much if they only kicked in once you got a higher score, but I've seen them as early as 20 moves into the game.
The real reduction in rating comes from battery life. This game is an unbelievable drain on the battery. I don't remember the last app I used that drains the battery faster than this one does. I downloaded and played this game at the end of the day before I went to bed, and it had accounted for 58% of my battery usage in a matter of playing it for about 20 mins. Be prepared to keep a charging cord close by if you plan to play this game for any length of time on the go.

GAMEPLAY HELP
Like many people, I was confused by many of the functions in the game that seemed to not be working, yet highly entertained by the simplicity of the game. Hopefully sharing these tips and tricks will help.
-Coins are earned by creating 9 and 10 tiles as well as by clearing two 10 tiles, which will also clear all adjacent tiles: Use this to your advantage to clear unmovable tiles.
-Clearing rows and columns does not work on "0" tiles and must be used on a non-zero tile in order to work.
-Bombs, Nukes, and special tiles will clear "0" tiles.
-Placing tiles in a checkerboard pattern will increase the chances that the tile you play will have a match in one or more adjacent tiles.
-Use swaps to occasionally skip having to place one or more "0" tiles. Do not waste swaps just to switch tiles.
I hope you find this helpful. My high score: 13,258.

Insanely addicting, but buggy and lacking in features
Specifically, why can't I pay a couple bucks for an ad-free version? They muddy the experience and frequently cause problems when you're playing without an internet connection.
Also, the game is prone to bugs. If a pop up notification comes while you are playing (for instance, a low battery warning because you've been playing too much), numbers you place will fail to combine.
But, in all, this is a really good game despite the flaws.

Temporary Fun
Would like to see more levels and a way to earn the different tiles. I received four "0" tiles in a row and they were received within the first few moves. Frustrated because there doesn't seem to be a pattern or way to earn the special tiles. They just randomly come and sometimes never. Giving 5 stars just for the coins.

Fun - but the ads are just awful
Game description states it offers in-app purchases, but I've yet to find out how. The power ups should only be purchased when you ACTUALLY NEED them, rather than when you feel like it. You cannot store them up and once you purchase them with coins, you have to use them immediately afterwards. Also, the ads. For the love of all things holy, I do not want to play Mobile Strike. Please figure out a way to actually make some money off this game from its users and allow a "remove add" feature.

Good but needs fixing
The zero tiles are really annoying. I love the game but they are so annoying. I have spent like 300 of the coins I earn on those social moves. The special moves don't work for me. I tried to use them but it didn't work. I don't know if I am doing something wrong. But it is hard enough to get all the numbers to stack in the 4 by 4 tile grid. Having the zeros take some of the skill out of the game. But I like the game. Very addicting.
Tpr bee,
This is fun
I just downloaded this app for the very first time and so far, after playing a couple of rounds of it, i think it's very fun! I'm about to see how I like it by playing it more. It was recommended by one of my twitter friends and they claim this game is so full of fun puzzles that their mom even plays it! so let's see if what they had to say was true!
EfratSR,
Fun
Once you go through the first round and discover the few "givens" in the logics of the game - such as that , the new number block, is formed in the spot of the last laid block of the pair, or that you got only two swaps per game which you should save for the "0" blocks which do not move once laid. It is a fun 'simple yet challenging game', as its creators so precisely noted.
Enjoy!
