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.

Good story, greedy developers

I like the premise of the game, it’s not as silly as some. I enjoy the boards even the hard ones. My issue is with the choices the developers have made in terms of game play and such. You know how you sometimes get into the game and oops, ran out of moves? Rovio knows that and codes accordingly. There is little to no pause between that last move and the pop up window telling you so. That means if you aren’t paying attention, you’ve tapped the button (instead of your next move) for 5 more moves, costing you 900 coins. You’ve wasted your money on 5 moves that aren’t enough. So player beware. This game also gives very little in freebies. Bombs, etc are rare gifts, Rovio just gives you unlimited lives. No daily gift, nada. And be aware they code to your disadvantage when using those power ups. Don’t combine your bombs and planes unless there isn’t much left to do; invariably that combination with be sent to the least effective place on the board. Happens pretty consistently, to the point I just don’t anymore. They recently introduced me to a feature where you play a move next to a lit fuse to make it move, with the goal to get the fuse to the cannon where it will set off planes that’ll supposedly do what’s needed. I have seen when trying to move the fuse, the regular planes are pretty worthless unless activated next to the fuse, otherwise they hit the cannon itself which accomplishes nothing. Makes it harder to win the board which Rovio actively seeks to do. I enjoy the story lines and while I’ll do I’ll keep playing. I’ll never knowingly play another Rovio game after this, due to this experience and a particularly negative experience with their tech support for another game. (Despite screenshots and screen videos clearly showing an issue and lost coins due to the issue, they said there was no problem and it was just me, no one else was complaining. Clearly I was interrupting someone’s time on TikTok.) I’m guessing they got too big for their britches after Angry Birds.

Almost the perfect game

Storylines , GREAT! Game style - GREAT! About the only thing lacking is if you don’t have enough points to complete a level , you can’t earn more with watching ads , so sometimes on the very hard levels , it can take many days to get 900 points to continue if you are Almost defeating a level , but a few hits away. This happens often on the hard levels . If they offered ads to earn things to help defeat levels , I’d give it 5 stars ⭐️.

Designed to get $$$$ from you.

Like so many things these are designed for making sure to give $$$$ on a regular basis. Plus, the use of moving parts is horrible for anyone with problems with their eyes. When it requires you to remove items and it takes 3 tries per item, and number of try’s is less that the number items, let alone it taking three tries to remove, means this gets dumped NOW

What happened to the story line?

I have loved playing this game for over a year. They story was engaging and it was a joy to play. However, after thousands of rounds. The story simply ends and you see thrown in this side story with endless hard round and even “normal” rounds that are impossible to beat. I spend way more than I like to admit on these games. I am starting to feel you have earned your last dollar from me. I used to love this game (5 solid Stars$. Now I feel I am just being milked. Sad
