Great game but way too hard

Honestly this game is almost perfect, but the level are way too hard and not enough moves to compete. I am on level 33 and i’m thinking of deleting the app because not only have I been stuck on this level for several days but when I got frustrated to the point of looking up gameplay the level is literally different to from how it was just one month ago?? There’s a whole new objective to the level which makes it impossible to beat if anything is going to be changed the game needs to be simplified. I appreciate the challenge of the levels but you can only do so much with the amount of moves given.

A lot of rewards don’t add up to hardly anything

The cards really don’t mean anything. It’s a big theatrical opening them, but you can have 1000 cards and no matches

Issue

How do I change the effects on my name??

Recent updates ruined it

Used to be fun and challenging without being frustrating. With the latest update it’s not even the same game. It’s impossible to maintain a streak. There are less moves per level and they took away most of the free perks with a $2.00 charge for players to use them. I was a team leader and really enjoyed playing this game until this last update which I can only assume is motivated by money.



Edit: 50% of my complaints have been fixed. Still not perfect or as fun as other similar games. Still trying extremely hard to get you to spend money. They are more stingy on items and coins than ever. And the Tetris and Pong mini game are extremely not fun. And they take a lot of time.
