If there's one important thing that I learned from this game, it's to use your coins and boosts wisely. Also, taking advantage of events for infinite lives. I'm amazed that this game has no ads. I could hardly care that the King's Nightmare comes up every so often, I'm more focused on preserving my coins and only spending it if the timing is right. One more thing I might add: AVOID THE TEMPTATIONS!!! Also, make sure to take a break!!! That's pretty much it for me. Edit: Making combos helps also
Stops being fun when you have to pay to play. After about 130 levels, you need to use special items to beat the levels, and if you run out, you need to buy them with real money. Or you can try the level 75 times until the computer actually gives you what you need (each try is random, so there's no way to learn and fix your mistakes) but you only get 5 lives and then you have to wait 30m per try. The only reason I made it so long with this game is because it doesn't have freaking ads. All done.
The game sucks at first but when you climb the levels it's actually fun. I'm giving it 3 stars because it takes forever to build coins, it takes forever to build the stars to decorate each room, you only get so many turns then it tells you to either pay 900 coins to get more turns or you gotta wait a certain amount of minutes, it gets annoying. But.. I know the algorithm to this game so having said that it's more funner to play. I just don't play the stupid challenges! Kings Nightmare is fun.
Started off great, but a few months and 4000+ levels in, and it's gotten so difficult that it's not fun anymore. Now, it takes 10+ attempts to win every level (and that's being generous). In the beginning, you get showered with power-ups and free lives, but once you stop winning levels back to back, you barely get any power-ups, and you spend then as fast as you earn them because the levels are so difficult. They want you hooked, so you'll make in-app purchases. No ads, so that's a huge plus.
Was a fun game until you reach a certain level and it purposely makes the level unnecessarily hard even if it isn't labeled as a hard level. Unless you have the super light ball it's hard to pass levels. It's also to the point where each level you lose at and have to reattempt the level over and over again. Edit: Keep getting tired of losing my boosters each level I play. And its purposely not letting me get a match for that one final task you have to make and you have to redo the whole level.
Not worth playing. Not as advertised. Only save the king when he's having a nightmare about every 50 levels. Once you spend your first dollar the game changes to where you can't pass anymore levels even the "easy" ones without spending money. Cust support knows this but just gives a generic default script about improving game play on future(lie). Don't fix their glitches and are only after your money. Play match frenzy instead. At least that really doesn't cost you anything and worth your time.
The type of games you see in the ads is about every 10 levels it seems. The other games you play are match 3 but it requires you to get a certain number of items within a certain number of moves. I downloaded for the games in the ads, not whatever the rest is. I hate these that only give me a certain number of moves. As usual, the game is not what they portray in ads. Sad. Uninstalled.

Meh. It was fun. Puzzle 1-800 and easy and fun enough. After puzzle 800 they all get a bit more challenging. After puzzl3 1000, good luck. I had a 793 puzzle winning streak from puzzle 1-800. Now I'm lucky to be able to win 1 maybe 2 puzzle a day. Some days I'm stuck on a puzzle for days. I don't spent money on games. Not much fun when you can't beat a puzzle for days. Was looking for a game to pass my down time, not stress me out.
I hate this game.it used to be one of my favorite apps but the further you get, you start to realize that the game is set up for you to lose. The last ten boards of every 100 boards you have to have a lot of coins and prizes to beat each board or it's going to drag you until you give up or until you give in, by buying something you're gonna waste on one move in one board. also the further you get the disco balls/flying bombs get coincidentally dumb and dumber they don't really help anymore.
Fun! No wifi needed. The main match 3 game is fun, and having a few side game options keeps things interesting. Many match 3 games are too challenging, and you end up frustrated because you have to spend all your resources just simply trying to get through the levels. This game isn't like that. (So far. I'm level 386). My only criticism is that I wish the room decorating part was more interactive. Like giving choices of different decor to use.
I enjoy this app mostly because they are generous with bonuses, and the levels get appropriately challenging with a variety of bonus games in between. I've been playing for years now and still find it entertaining and consistently glitch free. Also, you can play offline without wifi, and that progress will be saved. You just can't get additional lives until you're online again.
I have been playing Royal Match for a few years now. I decided to purchase the Royal Pass, for the first time, last week. I was to get my number of lives upgraded to 8, a gold avatar frame, and some rewards. it cost $10 to activate this feature, and once the Royal Pass was over, I lost the gold frame and the 8 stores lives instead of 5!! What's the bloody point to buying the Royal Pass if you don't get to keep the things you thought you paid for?! NEVER again.
One of the better match 3 games out there these days. Animations are smooth, allows you to skip through things so you can get to the next level quickly. At first it was a little overwhelming with the amount of events happening at any given time, but it's fairly easy to get the hang of it. it keeps things interesting by adding new mechanics every hundred or so levels. -1 star for the frogs ಠ_ಠ.
It's (very surprisingly) good. I have seen 1 million ads for this, so was very skeptical. But credit where it's due, it's solid. Nice animations, no ads (ironical). You can win without spending money with even a modicum of patience. Of course it tempts you to spend a bit of money for power ups to get past harder levels, but they're not required (a bit of repetition will do). Best thing is very finely balanced levels that so often seem impossible but resolve on the last of second last move.
Good for a few days, then not. The first 200 or so levels were very fun, then progressively difficult to the point of frustration. You'll have to pay for boosts every couple of levels to progress, or else just keep losing the same level over and over, waiting for timed free lives. I've paid one-time fees to remove ads on apps I like, but I'm not robbing my piggy bank every day to play a casual game. Sadly, uninstalling this one.
A great little time filler. Nice graphics, appropriate music, fun, and increasingly challenging play. Easy to learn as well. They provide information on new items and how to use them. You will have to keep your eyes on the screen when you press the start button. There is a flash of information that I haven't caught what it has to say. It's no real matter to me as I was still successful at playing the round to completion. Overall, it was a pleasant experience that filled in some idle time for me.
This starts off as The. Exact. Same. Match-3 game that we've all played 73 times before. It has the same mechanics: bombs, fliers, rockets, and disco balls; there's grass, cabinets with plates, mailboxes; and stars for each level you finish to renovate an area. The 'save the king' levels only happen every 10 or 20 levels (it alternates with coin-heavy levels). The events made it better/more enjoyable. I will say- this is the smoothest, fastest game with the least lag I've played on my phone.
This game is insidious in how they can manipulate you into spending money! It has obviously been painstakingly designed to lure you into spending "just a little bit more". I enjoyed it at first, until I realized the game is never "random". All of the pieces are designed to fall in a way that gets you very close to winning, and then run out of moves "just" before winning. It isn't every game, just enough to keep you interested. VERY MANIPULATIVE GAME - AVOID!! *Uninstalled*
It just takes ridiculously too much time to pass the boards & they never let you win the lava quest but once every so many months. When you get the king's hour of unlimited life you can lose that whole hour on one board which makes absolutely no sense & this is why I don't care to play this game as often as my other games. It can be fun if it wasn't so difficult to pass the boards.
This game was super fun for the first few days. The king is adorable how he is so innocent and expressive. Unfortunately the game got harder and harder until can't enjoy it at all anymore. I have been stuck on the same level for about 8 hours (used all possible kinds of power ups and still can't beat it) and shortly before that I was stuck on a level for about 4 hours.
