Game Broken Without Subscription
Hi, I want to rant about the misleading description and the dishonest business model of this game:
The game starts and the rules are explained. The game (without the game club subscription) is introduced, rules are explained, you play. Along the game you inevitably accumulate Diamonds which are there to be used in the “shop” in game where you can exchange diamonds (that you win in game, not from real $). The shop offers power ups of different kinds. But when you already have no option but to exchange the diamond you are not able to UNLESS you pay $4.99 per month for a game subscription.
It’s not wrong to offer people to subscribe. But it’s not fair to MISLEAD the player into thinking the game is complete. The core of the game is NOT available. So you spend time over and over trying to beat the boss but then you see that you can ,NEVER win unless you pay.
To be FAIR the player should be informed that this is a DEMO that is not completely playable, so that the player can decide whether to spend time playing the intro levels. It is just common courtesy.
It would have been more fair to do either ads every level, or earn players ahead of time, or to offer features with subscription that help a lot and make the game more fun. But in this case the game is broken/dysfunctional UNLESS you pay.

Addictive and intriguing
I recently came back to this game after a couple of years, and am once again sucked in. I could keep playing for an hour. Can't wait to finally solve this game's mysteries!
Minimalistic fun for breaks
I'm very busy at work, sometimes too busy to take a break, and ending up cutting my lunch short just to get everything done. This game provides a sleek and short experience while not demanding any of your time at all. Add Apple Watch support, and I'd be playing it on the go!
