Bejeweled Stars 4+

This is an edit of a review from March in which I mentioned some flaws in the app. Even six months later, there have STILL been no new constellations - which, given that 'stars' is the theme of the game, is a bit dumb.

I can only conclude that the publisher wants players to buy their coins rather than earning them - which is cynical and annoying!

-------------------------------

Love this game but find it very annoying that the random emojis it hands out are almost always duplicates of ones I already have.

Also I can almost always solve the daily riddle, but hardly ever have an appropriate emoji to use to answer it.

There hasn't been a new constellation for weeks now and I know when it finally arrives, my backlog of stars will immediately complete it and I will be back to square one again, waiting for the next update.

What the heck is the "rare" quality that makes a simple (say, orange) gem so valuable as a prize? I have 500 of the stupid things already!

Finally, why is there no option to 'buy' the yellow and green gems that are the only scarce ones you need to make decent power ups? Why can't I use coins - or even actual cash - to buy these gems?

😂😂😂😂😂 just a joke this game! LEVEL 1091 is actually IMPOSSIBLE! I’d love to see the creators complete it - they wouldn’t be able to. My previous review is below and there are STILL no new constellations. I used to spend money on this but I will not now. Just a time passer which quite frankly is sometimes so frustrating I have to stop playing. What on earth is going on here?? At least fix level 1091 and make the number of butterflies actually make you able to complete. I know you won’t give more constellations though. Joke

This game has become ridiculous with quite clearly lazy developers. I would think that numbers of players have dropped because of this. There has not been a constellation update for FIVE MONTHS! There is no other way of earning coins other than buying them. I have made purchases in the past but refuse to now on principle. If you get the chance to win things, you have to earn 500 of whatever you’re collecting first and then it jumps up to impossible amounts to earn as the levels are so ridiculous most of the time. The emojis released from chests are repeated over and over again with rarely any new ones to complete sets. I only keep playing out of habit and something to pass the time - most of the time I am bored of how hard the levels are. Get your act together to make this game worth playing!! So frustrating!

It is seriously annoying! You occasionally get decent levels which are good fun, but they are getting rarer all the time. The levels are now ridiculously hard and you have to wait for dumb luck to intervene to be able to complete them! The one constellation that has come down in the last year or more, the rewards have been marginalised to virtually nothing and constant irritating ‘sale’ pop ups every time you navigate to a level etc! This used to be a fantastic game and my favourite thing to waste a few mins/hours playing however I have had to spend sometime weeks to clear a level in recent times and it’s not fun anymore! I also used to catch up to the game. Finished all the levels before new ones were released. Not any more. I am stuck on 747 and it will definitely take dumb luck to clear it! There is nothing ‘rare’ about the orange gems! I have hundreds of them. The truly rare ones ages the green, yellow and to an extent, white. The opportunities to earn coins are slim to none. Steering more towards buying finished powers. Shameless! To sum up, get the game. Like most, it will be fun at first, but be prepared for overall disappointment!
