Mystery Match Hack 2.63 + Redeem Codes

I’ve lowered my review from 3 stars to 2, due to the endless syncing and playback cancelled errors. I stand by my original complaint about the timed levels - too frustrating for players with limited dexterity, plus the animations chew up too much of the allotted time. So definitely do not believe the “6 and up” age range. I liked the way this game starts-the little story is nice, and the gameplay is reasonable. I particularly chose this game because it didn’t seem to impose impossible timed levels, which are intended to be difficult but are way too frustrating for some younger players or those with even mild dexterity issues. However, the nice start failed a little way in; those timed levels start appearing once you get a bit into the game, and some of them are not possible to solve without buying boosts and coins and extra lives (and you’d have to buy a lot of them). I understand completely and am in support of the need for developers to monetize their work, but just once I would like to find a game that does it without relying on egregious time limits that leave out the players with less than perfect reflexes.

I have been playing this game for years. I am on level 2,237. I have played this game alone, with no friends or help for this entire time. I have never experienced the problems that I have read about. I have only ever experienced generosity from this game. For me every weekend they have unlimited play. Normally it is only 5 lives, which can be added to by sometimes watching an ad. I love the challenging levels, sometimes I have to play the same level quite a few times, but eventually I beat it, without help. To be honest, it has a back story I stopped following because I thought it was silly, but it is easy to bypass. I definitely don’t have trouble with any ads! I play without friends not by choice, but because no one else on my social media plays. I have friends listed but they don’t play. I have spent money on this game for extra help, but they are, in my opinion, very generous with giving play time. It is my go-to game. Today is a Wednesday and they have given unlimited lives for 24 hours! No complaints here, just fun!!

The game is fun until level 65, which runs out of time while gems drop oh-so-slowly. I will do a one-time purchase of fun games (hello, Angry Birds!), and I will willingly watch a video to make progress in an app (hello, Smule!), but I won't, on principle, make in-app purchases. Please consider other ways to make a profit on your game while not hurting consumers.
On another note, the storyline is way too silly.
Update, three years later: The storyline eliminated many of the silly anachronisms that bothered me at first, and the app added video ads to aid progress, so now I like this game much better. I agree with the reviewer that having to scroll down each time to work on 1- or 2-star levels is annoying. Also, I have beaten some of the levels dozens of times without ever coming close to getting 3 stars and wonder if it is even possible to achieve my goal of 3-starring everything. Overall, it is a great game.

This game is an okay match-3 game. At times the story line is clever, but just as often annoying. But be clear that this only a match-3 game. It is advertised as being multi-puzzle and a variety of brain teasers. This is false advertising. It is a match-3 game. Many of the levels are clearly designed to be nearly impossible in the allotted turns to force you to spend money on coins. This becomes more apparently true because after you fail a level, you are frequently given the option to watch a video to get a free booster with your next attempt. However, this rarely works. More often than not after sitting through the video of 20, 30 or 40 seconds (usually of an annoying butler), you get a pop up message that the video was canceled which is not true. This has happened to me more than 50 times so it is not a one-off glitch. So either be prepared to pay a small ransom for coins to purchase boosters or extend chances, or be prepared to play some levels repeatedly: 10, 15, 20 times in some cases with frequent pauses to regenerate lives, before you are able to make any progress.

I have played this game for years and over several years this game has gotten frustrating due to issues from not receiving free lives to ad issues. I have contacted support several times about not receiving free lives only to receive 2 different responses from support. The first response was....they know there is an issue with some people not receiving free lives but it isn’t enough people having the issue to pin point it... what this is your job... I don’t believe this.... After a year I contacted support once again to receive this response...after you watch 1000 ads you don’t receive any free lives. That is amazing because I am on level 1480 along with my friends but they still receive free lives. If support doesn’t know don’t give a response. So after 5 years of playing this game I have chosen to move on to other games since the developers don’t seem to care about losing some folks. It is a shame that you can be on 1 level for weeks only to pass it to get nothing. If you are looking for a game that rewards you this isn’t the game for you. What a shame I have grown tried of excuses about not receiving free lives to ad issues with this game.

There are, probably, thousands of games with the basic tile switch/match format. All these games are pretty much identical, at the core. The game looks good, has smooth gameplay, and an interesting narrative. I appreciate when a developer relies on the game to draw in players, rather than packing the game the over the top, unnecessary bell and whistles. Play it as a time waster or deep dive into the story.

One suggestion though, try not to use the boosts early in the game. SAY NO TO BOOSTS !!! Outplay gives you a taste for free, hoping you will become reliant, and agree to purchase these boosts in the future. If you are willing to spend a significant amount of money, that's cool, but if you don't the game may become frustrating very quickly.

I have played this game for years, and it’s NOT worth your time. The amount of spam that you have to click through just to play the game from the start is just absurd, not to mention the gameplay. The levels are not balanced. You will randomly get a near impossible level (unless you get lucky with the board you’re dealt or whatever else luck you can get). Then after that near impossible level you will get around 3-7 levels that seem like child’s play. The near impossible levels are unfair and no skill is involved. This game needs to create levels that are hard AS WELL AS winnable by actually knowing how to play this type of game, not just luck. Another trash aspect of this game is how many times I’ve been a couple moves away from winning, and the random gems that fall from the top of the board after making a match will not adhere to what I need to win, but when I’m getting “lucky” it’ll just throw whatever I need when I don’t ‘need’ it. Trashy programming on the devs end and I’m upset I wasted my time for so long with this one. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

I am updating my below review. After contacting support and complaining about the inappropriate ads that children do not need to see, the response I received was

Thanks for getting in touch!

We take player feedback very seriously, and always make sure that it makes it's way to the development team for their consideration in future updates.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us with feedback for Mystery Match and please get back in touch if there is anything else I can help you with.

Best Regards,

Since they are not going to change the rating of their ads, this game isn’t rated properly. X-rated ads do not belong on games rated 4+. Do not let your children play this game. Our family is deleting it.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I have been playing this game for 3-4 months. The game is fun and challenging. The levels can be hard and I can be stuck for days. But that’s the game. My problem with this game is not the game itself. The ads for another game was questionable before the new terms were put out last week, now that ad has crossed a line. This game is for age 4+, the game in the ad is clearly for age 17+!! The filth it shows has no business on a child safe game! Screen your ads and keep our kids safe!! If it shows again on my phone, I will be deleting this game from all of family’s phones. If you remove the inappropriate ads, I will change my review since I do like THIS game. It’s sad to lose players for another company’s ads.

I really enjoy this game and the story. The levels are fun and sometimes very challenging to win. That is fine. I really love it. I am dropping my rating from 5 stars to 3 because this game used to be able to be played without internet. It was great for when you are the passenger on long road trips. However, now it wants to “sync” almost every single time I go in to play it. It is starting to get annoying because I’ll play it in the morning sometimes while in my apartment, and I will allow it to sync then while I have WiFi. However, once I have time to play again later in the day while I don’t have WiFi nearby, I try to play and it tells me “playback canceled” because it needs to sync yet again. This bug seriously needs to get fixed. I shouldn’t have to have WiFi to play the game.

After years of playing through the frustration of game resets if the phone rings or a text arrives, lives and progress lost, I have reached my breaking point. With plenty of coins in the bank, poster pieces awaiting reveal, and playing the “VIP” league and on track for the holiday contest, I was forced to accept a new user privacy agreement. In doing so, the entire game rest as if I had never played, all coins and years of tournament progress was lost. Thanks but I’m not interested in starting all over again. Time to delete this ridiculously buggy app since the company’s response to all my queries has ended with the statement that “f you don’t sign in using social media or the Game Center there is nothing we can do to help”. So congratulations you have finally pushed me beyond the threshold of extreme patience I have always allowed this game.
