Block Jam 3D 17+

I really like this game, but it's way too hard??? I'm only on level 55, but I have kept on getting stuck on really hard levels that take me days to complete because of limited lives. For some reason these levels are extremely complicated and difficult, and it seems like there's no way to win it without having to spend my money, which I am not going to do. I wonder if there's a way for me to play this game and have a "calm relaxing time" like the game sells it to be, without having to be frustrated with losing every single time. They have a couple "normal" easy levels, but in between every two of those, there's a super duper hard one that takes me like a week to try to pass. This makes it really really difficult to be involved with the competitions that they also put in the game, which means I never win any of the prizes, which makes me extra stuck. Can they just not make it super hard? Or put ads on the power ups?? Help :(

It’s a fun-enough time-waster game. I like that there are harder levels and regular events and challenges (some shorter or longer). The events can be buggy and reset. (Just had a 4-day event reset when I was 90% through, with less than a day left) I have also had a purchased pack disappear on me without time to recoup the rewards and ended up having to go through Apple to get a refund, so I don’t purchase anything with money any more. Also they don’t have an easy way to contact support, nor great response time once you do.
Though I like having some challenge levels, it can be annoying when in a short event to get a string of 3-5 of them in a row. I don’t know if it’s designed for you to have to purchase lives to compete. Besides, the cash purchases seem expensive for what you get $1.99 for 150 coins and best booster is 130 coins, undos are 40…

Also the boosters for coins are very expensive compared to the rewards you earn. The most useful one would take 26 levels (5 coins per level) of winnings to afford. And the cost an undo is the equivalent of winning 8 games. They have also reduced the top prize earned from the every-20-levels wheel spin from 100 coins (not even enough for best booster) to 50 coins

This is a really fun game, but as other reviewers have stated, it does feel like a money grab game. It takes way too long to refill your lives, which encourages players to spend coins so they don’t have to wait. The problem is that coins are hard to come so there’s where the spending comes in. And everything requires a rather large amount of coins whether you’re trying to refill your lives or trying to use an item to help you beat a level. It’s as if they make everything too hard and too expensive so you have to spend real money in order to get anywhere, which is frustrating. I get that developers want to make money, but there should be a balance. Whenever I feel like a game is too greedy, it makes me want to quit playing altogether. But, like I said, it’s a really fun game and if they were to balance out the difficulty level a little then I think they would have a great game. I bet they would have more people willing to spend more money too, but if others are like me, then they won’t support games that feel like they are only interested in taking peoples money without actually caring about their consumers benefit.
