Traffic Escape‪!‬ 12+

I am enjoying the game as a time filler. I have read some reviews saying it gets challenging and I definitely don’t feel that it does at all. I have also read reviews complaining about all the adds which I agree with but it was worth the $4.99 to me to get rid of them.

I have found a bit of a bug of sorts though now that I have played it for so long. I am at level 3265 and I have to guess that the game developers didn’t anticipate people playing to such a high level. There are only 225 challenge levels and I have beaten them all so now when I have a daily challenge to complete 2 levels in challenge mode I cannot do so.

It would be nice to see a little difficulty added to the game but I can only think of a few ways to accomplish that. Adding more lights and more pedestrians and maybe making them move quicker are a couple. Outside of that the only thing I can think of is to not allow moving vehicles to occupy the same space at the same time.

I use to love this game and spent a lot of time playing it and when I finally reached the gold league I was overjoyed, the next day I saw I’d been demoted back to the silver league and that’s NONSENSE, if you put that much time and effort to reach a goal it should stay yours!!! And there’s no explanation about any of that which is frustrating but I kept playing because I had almost 500 helicopters and hints and wanted to take advantage of that and then I had to go out of town because I had a death in the family and the next time I picked up the game I was no longer offered the hard and super hard levels at all and frankly, without those the came can be boring and monotonous, with no challenge at all, also it took away an opportunity for me to get my score higher, quicker and then last night I find they’ve made even more changes. I’m at the legend level now but I’m sure I’d be dropped back down if I kept the game. They no longer offer the same doable trophy option they once did so you have to play twice as long to reach a third of the score. I still have over 400 helicopters and hints but I’m done, I have a job and a life and can’t spend hours a day on a game to get a decent score. I’ve played about six levels this morning and didn’t get the score I use to reach in three levels. I hate the developers of an amazing game ruined it. I’m uninstalling.

I can live with the fact that Nat and Leilani are the bots assigned to my profile. I can even live with only having just enough moves to clear the screen, as long as I keep earning sufficient helicopters to keep up with my occasional mistakes. The repetitive nature of the game, and stable difficulty levels as I play actually works in my favor as it’s these very factors that makes the game nearly addictive and works to soothe my (very) frequent anxiety. I don’t mind the near constant, “buy me,” or “rate me” pop-ups (so much). What I can’t live with are the ads between each screen. That is too too excessive. So I’m very suspicious of this “go ad-free” $6.99 offer. I saw a game where you paid that FOR ONE HOUR! Outrageous. But the game let you know that before you bought. The fact that this developer, with numerous shady habits already, doesn’t specify? Makes me wonder if they are worse. I agree with an earlier reviewer who acknowledged the developer will likely never read this (at least other developers, though their responses are trite and indicate they may not have actually read the review, at least has something set up to at give the allusion someone somewhere is reading it.)
