Jewels of the Wild West Match3 4+

Needs a way to review how to deal with obstacles

I have played this game for quite a while now, but I still have difficulty in getting rid of blockers like the gray squares with branches and the double chains. I know the info is provided when they are first introduced, but I would greatly appreciate if there was a review page offered that one could visit for a refresher. The number of plays allowed when a window opens is usually way below how many are needed to complete the event. Sometimes I end up having to use boots to get more attempts 5 or 6 times. And, of course, they have to be purchased to have enough to really make any progress. I honestly can’t figure out how the number of attempts allowed is determined. Especially when you throw in those horrid gray squares with vines.

Thank you for your detailed review! We admit that some of the levels may feel harder than others, but the objectives of the game are attainable without making purchases since there are many possibilities to win useful items. The balance of player satisfaction and challenge of the game is our priority, and we will keep improving it.

Could be improved

It’s a fun and challenging match game, but the rewards are out of balance - meaning the game limits your play unless you buy packages to allow you to continue to play. Then the treehouse which provides gifts, does not provide the keys needed to open the gifts - and there’s not even a package or resource you can purchase to get extra keys to open the packages. So you’re always behind. The amount of keys you get for passing a level should at least equal the amount needed to open the gifts you win for that level - so if it’s 12 to open a gift, and 5 gifts are given to win that level, instead of only earning 21 or 44, you should be able to get at least 60 keys, especially as the gifts appear for more than just passing a level, so you’re always behind.
I budget the amount I will spend on games, so I may abandon this game if it’s too expensive to play daily.
The other issue I have is that the resources you need to combine items are relatively high compared to the number of resources you can earn for passing a level. You run out of energy long before you pass enough levels to get the resources you need and that is just ONE resource, let alone the three or four others. If it takes so long to advance, what’s the point? The levels themselves are fun and challenging, but it’s too hard to see progress.

Collection complete oh

This is really time consuming to accomplish as you have to win all the items needed ie, apples, boards, purses etc. Then when you do any surplus stays with that collection not just what was needed for completion. I think any surplus should trickle down into other collections. I feel I am wasting my time and not getting very far. I also never have any boosters to use unless of course I buy them. I feel I would be buying way too often and I am not doing that. Unhappy player who might be moving on... I totally disagree when you say there are plenty of boosters given out free! You might get one or two when you collect from the statues on the field. How long does two last about 2 seconds!! I read that you told multiple people the same thing. If you want to advance in any particular time frame you need to BUY boosters and the other items to help you progress not to mention the rubies that I usually only ever have 3-4 of at any given point. It takes forever to earn those and gone in an instant. No I play a lot of games and yours is geered toward making $$$$$$! Sad...nope it has gotten a little better but you need to reward loyal players more with more boosters and not just drain away any and all energy.
