Gummy Drop! Combine e restaure +4

This game offers matching fun that does not get you stuck at one spot all or nothing with its 3 difficulties per level. Plus the special abilities can get you through levels you have difficulty with. You learn geography and history along the way. The new version has a daily prize that is very aggravating. You get better prizes for playing every day but it arbitrarily resets you. Though I have not missed playing a level for years the farthest I have got is Day 119. About a week ago I was ready to get my prize for day 120 which is the 30 day landmark. To my dismay it restarted me instead. It has arbitrarily removed green gems before which take a lot to build, but otherwise this is a fun game that you can play in short time frames. The biggest improvement the game needs is an ability to change a resourcemart from one to another. Early on in the game mistakes are made because you don't know the strategy for the green gems and that after the first few cities you only get two of them instead of three. This is important for new players to know ahead of time.

October 2017- UPDATE- the endless random graphics changes and updates are getting stale. This newest rendition of the girl is actually making me play less. Instead of bells and whistles that do nothing but confuse the players who have barely adjusted to the previous update, why not add something that actually makes the game more interesting? For instance - the side path prizes- make them a choice. Many times I don’t need a million bricks, or whatever, but a power up would be very nice.

UPDATE : it's very possible to earn enough coins with the free version of the game if you're willing to be patient and play all three levels of each number as well as the side paths. That way, you can earn 100 coins per number. (10, 30, 60). I rarely buy extra moves, I just play til I win or use the spinner.... I now have 28,000+ coins I earned just by waiting it out.
Just one request: PLEASE give an option to turn off the hint function. I love match 3 games but they usually have no "carrot" to attain other than stars. This game is complex enough (but by no means a brain strain) with 3 levels of accomplishment at each individual level, buildings to construct with the winnings, coins to earn to buy lives, treasure chests to unlock, and it's tough enough that I use up my 3 lives pretty fast. If you're lucky you might win extra moves or lives on a spin board...super cute game. Big Fish hit it out of the park with this one. It's fun and I'm hooked.

I’m on Day 1,384 of consecutive play and am awarded daily for that so I’ve watched this game evolve. The developers are brilliant. Challenging but not too much. Unfortunately it has been 6 weeks since they opened a new city. Two years ago they were introducing new cities every two weeks. During COVID they were able to transition and keep pace though new cities were unlocked every 3 weeks like clockwork. It was so reliable I could set my watch to it. They recently introduced an “Elite” playing mode to tie players over until new cities open and now that I’ve been playing for weeks in the absence of a new city, I realized I’m playing against bots, which is FRAUD. Three weeks in a row I was beat by “Karen,” who miraculously jumps 25-40 levels with an hour. The person behind me is always “June.” It’s frustrating that they don’t want real players to take 1st place and accumulate awards — so they almost force you to spend for rewards and it should be illegal. I have screenshots for the past 4 weeks and seeing that evidence of bots has created such distrust that I’m close to quitting the game after playing daily for nearly 4 years. That and no new cities is making this game close to obsolete and worn out in my life.
