No matter how fun this game is, you’ll eventually have to spend money, which is not what I want to do. If you don’t want to spend $4 to $8 a week every once in a while, AFTER you’ve already become addicted to the game...WALK AWAY NOW. I’ve been playing long enough to reach level 300 and I have 80% of the characters, and it’s a fun game. BUT...I’ve encountered several levels that REQUIRE more than the number of moves you get to complete it, which requires you to purchase coins and all. I’m on one now where I’ve been on this level for four days now. No matter what characters you play, it can’t be finished. I come within a move or two of finishing the round most of the time. I play maybe three or four times a day since you only have 5 lives (I can’t wait around for another life or ask for em or pay for em). I have already restocked that goofy piggy bank twice...I refused to pour any more money into this to complete a level. The game is stingy with the lollipops and other extras. I said the last time I got stuck like this that if I go more than five days stuck on a level? I’m not buying coins to finish it. The game is getting deleted. Looks like it’s about to go bye bye.

I really don’t like the trend of in-app purchases in games, but it looks like they’re here to stay. I’d much rather buy a game for a fair price than be goaded along into buying coins or fruits or whatnot constantly. I usually don’t even try a game if I see it has in-app purchases, but I somehow missed this for Candy Crush Friends. I got into playing it, but said I’d never go for the kind of in-app purchases that only let you play a little more. I got prompted several times to purchase the piggy bank once it “got full” and wouldn’t accept the gold bars needed to continue a failed game. Finally I said, “okay, I’ll buy the piggy bank, that’s a fair price to make it go away and let me accumulate gold bars from now on. I was then surprised that it didn’t make the piggy bank go away, rather it just emptied it temporarily, and the $3.99 charge will have to be paid again and again, the exact type of in-app purchase I loathe. I thought the lack of clarity of this purchase was deceptive and typical of the in-app purchase model at its worst, and it took any fun out of the game for me. I’ve deleted the app even though I just made a $3.99 purchase (in fact, BECAUSE of the $3.99 purchase), and will be much more wary of which games i try in future.

I love candy crush games. I always have. But this latest one has been kinda errrking me. As other reviewers have said, what is the point of giving us gold bars in our piggy bank if we have to pay you guys to use them?! If we pay to get the gold bars unlocked, then why would you lock the piggy bank again and charge us again?! Why can’t we earn gold bars without the charges?! Also, I have noticed on a lot of levels, if I mix the striped candy with the wrapped candy, it will only take care of some of the candies. For example; the levels with the jelly. If I mix those two candies together, it only fills squares with jelly with where the mixed candies started. It doesn’t spread out and make all the squares jelly that it touches. And the fish go to places that are not even a little bit helpful anymore. Most of the time the fish go to places that were already fine/taken care of. I lose levels bc this and then have to turn around and buy more lives bc I can’t use my gold bars. Disappointing.
