I don’t do micro-transactions - I’ll pay for ad-free, as I did with this game, but I’m not going to keep paying small amounts for extra slots and power-ups. This game is almost impossible past a certain point without just max-dropping then watching an ad to get the fan, it takes the fun out of it. I understand that the business model these days is to add friction to nudge people towards spending small amounts frequently, but I’m currently on level 143 and there’s too many different coins for the available slots, with additional slots costing the 7 ads worth of gems if I do it that way. The deal also throws out too many coins, so I’ll feel like I’ll need a deal to move on then it’ll just fill up most slots and a lot of times I’ll have to restart the level without even making any decent moves. I’m not saying to make the game totally ad-free and free to play, but maybe offer the option to pay a larger amount to buy the game and benefits outright, which I would do as I don’t mind doing for games I enjoy, or make it remotely enjoyable without paying micro-transactions.
