King changed its in game shop recently to reorder and reprice its offerings, without disclosing that they were doing this. I’ve noticed this practice in other games they publish but this particular change is so extreme it’s hit the pain point. Looks like the price has close to doubled on some items. I was a fairly regular customer at previous (still not cheap) prices but this is off the charts and I’m gone. They won’t ever tell you that they’ve changed or what they’ve changed, perhaps in an attempt to see what revisions give them the highest revenues. For example, someone just had the bright idea of reversing listed prices so the most expensive item is now listed on the top and the cheapest on the bottom, when it was previously listed cheapest to most expensive, and I very much doubt they would ever refund you if you just clicked the old spot in error. Also they added to some of the items a few hours of what they call VIP time which essentially just removes ads, forcing you to buy this to get the same level of currency at what looks to be double the price. The tired argument they will make is that it’s marketing and they are not making you buy it. True, but that only gets them so far. They lost a smaller stream of revenue in an attempt to elicit a bigger one, and for me at least it pushes over to other of their games.

After playing this game for a while, it is clear that the programming does not allow you to win until you’ve either played the level many times or if you haven’t played the game in a while. After you win, it will let you win a few more levels before becoming impossible to beat again. You’re at the mercy of what the game allows, there is no true “strategy” to win other than to work with what you’re given and hope the game gives you what you need. It has nothing to do with how “hard” the levels are. Plus, it used to save your game whenever you closed the app which was appealing for people who just want to play when they have a short break from something instead of spending hours on their phone playing a game. Now, it will make you start over if a day or so has passed since you last played. Please stop advertising this game as a “puzzle” when puzzles should always have a possible winning outcome. My ability to win is at the mercy of the way the game is programmed. Waste of time... I suggest downloading brain game apps that will actually make you smarter like Elevate. This game is just as mindless as the silly games involving candy. You shouldn’t encourage people to waste their time thinking they’re helping their brain function better.

Why two stars you ask? Well, to ME it’s a bit boring. I would have rate this game a one star, but I know how much the developers worked, so I gave ‘em a star for effort. I know your probably saying this person is stupid for this review! But here me out. The ad is bad. I have suggestions, and my reasons. So first, don’t use two different people for your ad. I just makes the person think, “Oh! They obviously have a script and might not really feel that way. Their mom or family is probably NOT addicted to this game.” Second, I don’t think you should put a person to say it, because then it just makes it even MORE obvious that they have a script. Now your thinking, “Well, wouldn’t everybody’s day have a script; even when there is no person.” Yes, that’s true, BUT! It’s always a different feeling when you see somebody. Third, since you had two people do the ad, don’t use almost the same exact words. Choose different words! Use that opportunity to explain more about the game! Well, that’s all for the ads. Now, the game. Please, please, PLEASE, make it more interesting in the beginning. That’s how you catch attention. Second, well there is no second. The beginning of the game is a BIG role in the game. Now to the good things about the game. It’s better than other puzzles at least. If I download a puzzle game, I seem deleting it the next day. What can I say? Beating “evil” slugs can somewhat be fun! Try it out! See what I mean. Thanks for hearing me out, if you did.
