Used to be better
The entire game is not designed for user enjoyment but a way to funnel fuel for the developers greed judging by the amount of ads that are in the game to the extent that every time you finish or do anything iI will always be guaranteed pop-up, it is intentionally designed that you will not get any gems apart from watching ads of which you are already bombarded with and all buying the overpriced bundles.
The only way to progress in this game is to evolve your creatures with gems but gems are only obtained by spending money or watching several adds to attend a minimum amount to evolve your creature to stage one, in the past you didn’t need germ to progress that’s what made it so fun.
The New sprites for the new creatures are just lazy the Baby forms are alright, when you reach the second and third forms they just both the same the ladder is just smaller.
