Bubble Shooter: Pop & Blast 4+

I have been playing this game for guile some time. I managed to make it to level 3000+ and there were no more levels to play and waited for more levels to be added, once the new levels cam in there were certain features that were removed. Like for example say you ran out of shots you would get up to 3 additional shots to use after watching 3adds for a total 9 shots. The problem with that would be there would only be one odd color bubble and you would use up your shots and then almost be forced to buy additional bubbles. Now that option has been taken away. Some levels give you the 9 shot availability but you can’t select the 10 more shots like it once had. Now it gives you one ad maybe or gives you a message saying “sorry there are no videos to watch”. Since this update has been applied and additional levels added it’s not worth playing as much as it was in the beginning. However, some of the new features are nice it becomes more aggravating to play. Some of the bubbles change color mid shot. I guess the developers will use whatever tactics they can to spend money on the game.

Hey there,
Thank you for playing.
Reward video availability depends on the strength of your Wifi/Mobile network., the existence of 3rd party ad blocker,etc.

Part of the challenge is to solve the puzzle with the colors you receive.
It's impossible to receive a color that is not on the board, though it may appear further ahead.

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence but it seems the game has gotten much harder after the latest couple of updates. I’m stuck on level 1582, so I decided to update the app to see if it was a bug. No luck with 1582 after the update so I tried dozens of older levels and they’re also much more difficult than they used to be. Many of the levels leading up to 1582 (like in the 1570s) were also extremely hard and not very fun. I had to buy several power-ups/extra moves to get through the last 10 or so levels, when normally I could get through the levels in a few tries without much need for power-ups (unless I really wanted to get a level over with).

Also this is a bit nitpicky but it’s annoying that the game asks if you’re sure you want to restart a level because you’ll lose progress. The game used to seem like it ran smoother before it asked that every time. Also almost every time I enter a level, even if it’s one I’ve completed before, the game tells me about the special kinds of bubbles in the level (like ice bubbles or the bubbles that turn to stone). It’s a bit annoying that this info pops up almost every time I play a level.

But mostly it’s a shame that I can’t move forward in the game anymore. This is my favorite Bubble Shooter app and I’ve been looking at other ones since this one has become too difficult to be fun (1582, for example, is so full of stone bubbles that fireballs and bombs aren’t even really effective).

I have read similar comments regarding feeling pushed to purchase additional coins to get past a level. This seems to occur more often after you have purchased prior coins for levels. I also noticed you can be down two colors to almost pass a difficult level and may need one specific color but the selection will give you a color that is buried underneath the color you need. That color will be just (one ) while all of the surrounding colors are the obvious same. This is more prevalent when the option to watch a video is available for additional shots to be added. Sometimes you will have two chances to watch a video or maybe one but each time it comes back with ball colors you don't need. Almost like intentionally sabotaging your chances of beating a level without making a purchase for extra balls to shoot. When that happens you will be so frustrated you will end up purchasing more balls.
I have had this game downloaded and played for YEARS. Since I have deleted the app I don't recall the level I reached but it was pretty high since it has been over 6 yrs or more. I have taken breaks from it because of this push. Each time I want to keep playing and give it another try but I have reached my latest and last day of being so frustrated. I am finally deleting it because its not worth the aggravation. These type of games are to relax not give anxiety and frustrate.
