Forget it !!!!!!!!!!zzzzzzzzzz
I enjoy the game but am often frustrated that it is necessary to purchase game pieces . I am a senior citizen and I cannot spend money on game pieces that would be needed for other necessary items be it paying a bill or buying groceries. When you live on a budget it can make games have to take a backseat. I often find myself wishing I understood the game more. When I first started playing I had trouble following how the game should be played and still find myself scratching my head over what to do next. I realize you are in the money making business on these games but couldn’t you come up with a game for seniors that would not require that you purchase game pieces. Surely you can understand that just because you are an older person doesn’t mean you do not enjoy playing a game but are limited in playing since it cost money to play. If I were a professional game player I could understand the game wanting you to pay to play. I will continue to play the game but when it gets to the point that I go against my principles and my wallet then at that I will no longer be able to go forth and prosper. I mean it’s not like a person makes money off of wins, you are however wanting people to play to be able to play. I have found on other games that I use to enjoy playing that they are now charging people to pay to play. Where is the fun in that. Thank you for allowing an older person to vent my frustrations.

Would like it so much more if only...

Find this relaxing as it focuses my mind on something irrelevant (the game) such that it can't be running over and dwelling on everything else life is throwing at me. The music is a great aid in that. However, the zen is shattered by all the annoying ads for all their copycat games, especially when accompanied by their jarring energetic music which you can't turn off or even cut short. Out of all those games and characters there is no non-white ethnic representation--no, the extremely stereotyped Japanese guys don't give you points in that area. It becomes increasingly difficult to progress without buying and using cheats, which I don't think is right; you should be able to complete w skill and perseverance alone. I wonder if it's even physically possible to tap that many tiles in 1.5 or 2 minutes, much less search, match, and tap. I dislike that the timer always keeps going for 3 seconds after you finish the game, but lately it even adds 30 second to my time before comparing to the cutoff, making it impossible to progress. Another bug is that the daily log-in sometimes won't accept input, or skips, or erases your progress. The constant nagging for donations or in-app purchases disrupts the good feeling that would be generated and assures that I will NOT reward that nagging with my $.

I really enjoy playing this game but I don't understand why there are requirements to achieve a certain number of stars to move to the next level. The timing to achieve 3 stars is generally so fast that I don't have a ghost of a chance to do better than one star. I'd like to move forward but I find myself having to play the same level over and over in hopes of adding stars to advance. Update: I enjoy the extra mahjong cakes that are offered. Last one was required hot air balloons to play and this time it requires surfboards. I'm frustrated because there should be a way to earn surfboards without paying and there is not. Perhaps there's a bug in the game.Update: I've gotten stuck at the end of another level without sufficient points to keep moving. I don't plan to pay to keep moving to new levels so I'm starting from the beginning on my phone. It's fun but only if you can achieve forward progress. I suspect that when I get stuck next time, I'll delete the game because it's too frustrating to not be able to start new levels.Update#2: I took about a two year break from the game and just started playing it again. It’s enjoyable but I wish there was a way to ask friends to give you a life so you didn’t have to shut down the game while you’re still having fun.

I admit I like the game. That said I also admit that I don’t know what I’m doing. I know to match tiles together and that sometimes they’re locked and you have to get the ones around it first. But other than those basics I have no idea what my goal is nor do I know whether I need to develop a strategy or anything else. But again I’m having fun with the game. I’m such a perfectionist that I keep forcing myself to do a level over and over until I get three stars for it. Fortunately I haven’t had to do any level more than three times so I guess that’s a good thing. This game passes the time but I wouldn’t exactly call it my go to”. At least I don’t have to spend any money and that’s a very positive thing.Update: I should have dated my 1st review but fight think of it until now. Still enjoying the game all these months later (it’s 1/9/23 today) but I have spent a few dollars. I like the side “events” that run each month. But to do well, I play without using the regular game to build up my diamond pile, nor my “event tokens” (such as a pumpkin, a lantern, etc.) and I spend a little money on the game. I do not do it often, but it has been a nice respite from the match 3 games. You should try it. It’s fun…and I still don’t know the real goals of the game nor how to play! Lol
