The game is fun. It has smooth animation and aesthetically appealing imagery. The levels themselves are interesting and a nice challenge…sometimes. I still have it installed. That said…I don’t play it much, if at all, on a regular basis, because it is explicitly designed to force you to fork out cash for a sub or to watch endless videos, either involuntarily when they just pop up, or because certain levels’ win requirements need you to use boosters to even have a chance of beating them. When they pop up event notices, hey-you-could-buy-our-currency notices, or anything else they can monetize, the x at the corner of the window doesn’t appear until you have had ample time to look at them, whether or not you care. When you fail a level, you have to wait a whole 15 seconds before a retry button is available which doesn’t immediately force you to watch a video instead, and give you a completely random buff that disappears seconds into the level. Chances are, you will get forced to sit through a video anyway, even if you choose not to retry. The videos themselves are the kind that take a minimum of 30s to view, and often take you through an extra five or more after you click the initial x, to take you to the App Store or just advertise again about the ad you just watched. I respect that they want to make money, but holy cannoli, people, don’t do it like this. Other games I play regularly also have ads, and I’m fine with that, but this? This is a whole new level of gimme gimme greed. No thanks.
