Was Great Until….
….until they added that stupid ranking system. That’s pretty much killed it for me. I downloaded this a few months ago. I paid for the ad removal because I liked the game do much. Then not long ago they changed some formatting. Where you used to be able to voluntarily watch an ad to get a power up, now you have to buy those power ups with coins. And the prices are pretty outrageous. So you can earn these coins by completing the timed daily tasks to the tune of 5 coins per daily task completed. NOW…they have added this incredibly STUPID rank system that increases as you find items. So picture this… you are racing against the clock finding items, be they balloons, cobwebs, or thieves….you’re in “the zone” things are going great then suddenly up pops this window “Congratulations!!! You are now ranked as Detective! Here’s a reward”. What!?!? I’m in the middle of a timed task and you throw me off and sabotage me with this stupid nonsense! I think they pause the clock but still, your concentration in broken. Now when you go back to the game it’s precious seconds of “where was I?” They have ruined the game. I wish I could go back and undo the update that installed that stupid rank system but I can’t. It was great while it lasted I suppose.Show lessOkhissa
Heads up: In App Purchase Scam
They make you think that everything is on the map and then you should pay them money so they'll show you where it is, but they don't load those objects until the end of the game it seems to be set on a timer. Meaning you may stare at the map for three hours looking for a sandwich that will not manifest there until three hours after you start looking for the sandwich. Meaning that you wasted three hours so they could try to charge you $1.99. Kind of a scam if you don't know this so you should probably know this. Things appear randomly in the map that weren't there before and objects appear randomly in the map they were not there before. It's fun until you realize that you've wasted the past three hours of your life looking for a sandwich that wasn't going to appear because it set on a timer and they didn't disclose that and now you've given them five dollars to find out object and then realize they just taken advantage of you. You're not bad at this game the game just wants you to think you're bad at the game. You could prove it if you screen recorded the whole session. Heads up. Rating this two stars. It's fun...but they're scamming people what's worse is they're making people think that they're bad at finding objects when they're actually trying to get money from you. I know you want money but wounding other people, self-esteem and confidence so you can make money it is just not a good look.Show lessShowMeYourWarFace
Was fun, but the new level competition needs fixing
I’ve been playing this game for almost a year now - I even paid for the ad removal. I love the different themes & enjoy finding “Easter egg-type” references to other games/movies, etc. while playing the different areas (love the Monty Python reference in the new Medieval map, for example!). The devs seem to add new theme maps pretty regularly, which is nice & keeps the game fresh! However, I’m not thrilled the devs decided to bring back the coin rewards you then have to spend in the store for the power-ups (like the magnifying glass) that we used to just get as rewards. Remembering to go spend the coins is a pain. Also, the new leader board is fun, but I always seem to get stuck at the Sheriff level (highest) at a certain level (such as my current 403) & then I never can seem to progress past that level! I think the coding needs to be fixed….last round I was perpetually stuck at Sheriff level 1024 & couldn’t go higher, and all the same “players” also never change around me…so I know I should be progressing/changing each time the progress window pops up, but nope…still stuck at the same exact spot! It’s frustrating & takes away from the fun of playing. I’ve sent 2 support requests & chats via the game, but I never get a response, so figured it might be time to post a rating & review in the hope it will get the glitches fixed.Show lessMolsonds
