What have you done?

I loved this game until you dumped me into some sort of contest that just goes on and on. I want it to go away and let me get back to the regular game. Totally frustrating. If it doesn’t go away I will have to quit playing. What happened to the cases. Tournament is boring!!!!!

Updates are killers

Apple and the developer on game did updates this week. Now the game opens and doesn’t allow any other actions even though it looks as normal. Exhausted with updates breaking more than it fixes in general. What happened to some QA? I guess I will need to abandon this game and move on. Challenging fun prior.

Worse, not better

You get to a point in the game where advancement is nearly impossible. In order to get any further you have to pay for more gems or moves. The fact that the puzzles are 10x harder with 1/10th the number of moves available to work it is insane! Yeah, it’s becoming a money grubbing game. Pay pay pay or don’t play and advance. Refuse to suggest this game.

Money Pit

Game graphics and contents are good, but the game mechanics become more and more impossible to play without in-game purchases. I’ve spent a lot of money on this little innocent looking game over the course of years (especially during the Covid lockdown period). One day I realized I was spending way too much money on Rovio, so I quit the game hoping they would amend their intentionally difficult game codes someday. I recently reinstalled the game thanks to a bad jet lag— what do you do when you are wildly awake at 2am? :/— and ended up on the same money pit routine. Can Rovio make the game at least a half way playable without ridiculously expensive in-game purchases? I am on the level 3,700+, and once you lose all your solution aid tools, you can’t move on to the next level without purchasing extra moves at the end of each level. The game is programmed in such a way to force dedicated players to keep spending money on it. Players need to be aware of the traps ahead.

Paper plane power ups

I really enjoy this game and the story lines. The only problem I have with the game is the paper plane power ups. They are not too useful especially when combined with another power up. Instead of going to an area that could really use help with a power up it will go to one single block. For instance, if there is a whole column that needs to be cleared and I combine the plane with an up arrow, it will go clear one isolated item on the opposite side of the board which really defeats the usefulness of the power up. That would be especially helpful while playing the difficult boards. Sometimes I have to play a board so many times I just want to delete the game in frustration. The game is not generous with powerups to begin with so I really don’t want to waste them unnecessarily. Aside from that issue, I really do enjoy playing the game

What happened?

This was my favorite game, I would have given it a 5 star had the cases not stopped with no warning. You are told to complete the side game with no case to solve. Indefinitely! No mention that there are no more cases. I had to research to find out that it just ends. No idea if they even plan to do more. Such a shame. Side note: I saw people complaining that they had to spend too much to play. I have spent maybe $5 a month. That was worth it to me, but no reason to spend anymore.
