Disney Frozen Adventures 4+

(Update: it COULD be the game that’s draining the battery, but I doubt it- not as badly as I think. I recently upgraded to iPadOS 16.3.1 and its battery drain issues are kinda notorious lol. That could be the real reason, not Frozen Adventures)

I wish this lovely game wasn’t such a battery vampire…😭 You can play for just say, fifteen minutes, and already your battery could be down by 15%! Anyway, this game is SO much better than the old Frozen Free Fall! 🥰 I recently played this, Jam City’s other Frozen game, for the first time recently and absolutely fell in love with it- I had played renovation games before but the Frozen theme of this one, plus the beautiful graphics, makes it my favorite. Elsa and Anna take you on as an advisor to help them prepare the castle for an important event, which is a success thanks to you, the player. And is it silly that I found it touching that Anna and Elsa ask you to stay on at the castle, as a regular, permanent advisor, with your own room to decorate and everything, as thanks for your help? Probably, but I was. Progress-wise, I am now partway through decorating the Sweet Shop.

If I had done a review earlier, I would have rated this app really high. All was going good, I could pass levels, decorating was fun and it was perfect. Now comes level 221, too many goals to accomplish with a small number of turns. Been trying to pass it for days, and I can’t even get close. Today I used two of my items, AND 5 extra turns, but was one turn short of passing. I couldn’t use another 5 turns as the second one goes from 820 to 1,200 points! Really, isn’t that a bit overkill? Especially as you only get between 25 to 50 points for each level played, and when you can’t pass levels, you get nothing. The hardness of each level has been increasing, forcing you to use extra items to pass the level. But I have probably hit the wall on this game, and it’s time to say good bye. Too bad they think they have to keep making them harder to pass, where it becomes impossible and you use up all your resources.
I’ve also played Frozen Freefall for years, and since this company has taken it over, whether name change or new company, it too has gotten where you HAVE to buy extra turns to pass levels and before I never had to buy extra items to pass levels. Yes, some were harder, but keep trying and you will make it. Not anymore. I may be done with that one soon too. The goal now is to get you to buy things and support them, not for you to just enjoy the game.

I don’t usually write reviews but I like this game so much I felt the need to do so. My youngest daughter is a huge frozen fan and we’ll I love Disney in general! Lol I’ve had this game pretty much since day one and am on level 182.....I’m almost done with what chapters are available right now. I’ve only encountered 2 issues and it didn’t bother me enough to lower my rating or stop me from playing....#1 occasionally the game will glitch and there will be one colored piece on top of another, most of the time the game corrects this itself within a couple moves....and #2 a few times I have completed a round and had it freeze right as I’m going to press skip (which makes me repeat the round) this can be frustrating when you have attempted a level multiple times.
As with any new games I expect there to be a few issues and if these are the only two in the very beginning I think there is nothing to worry about. It is worth the download ! Great job with this game!!
