IPAD doesn’t update with new game info on time
Not happy
Downward trend with recent updates
I have enjoyed this game for years but I will be quitting as soon as my purchased game resources run out. It seems the developers are implementing a strategy where in order to win a monthly puzzle you must purchase additional tokens. No longer can you finish simply by playing the game. This is basically a subscription. Expect to spend over an hour playing every single day, and even if you do that expect to have to buy extra resources to complete the challenge. The developers have changed the odds of collecting tokens over time, and although you can collect some tokens for “free” in the special gem match, that gets more difficult to play over time. All alternative locations to collect tokens needed for the monthly challenge are now restricted. In short, there are now so many restrictions and low odds of completing the monthly objective you almost always have to pay. I understand the devs need to make some money but I’m not participating in what has become a de facto subscription. It has been fun for quite awhile but I’m done.
Update: 2024
Game has improved since I wrote the last review. They have added some features and corrected some mistakes of the past so I now have upgraded the rating to 4 stars .
March 2019-I’ve played this game for at least 2 years and the major updates lately have been bad. Useful talismans have been removed from several scenes, several scenes have been redesigned to make the objects unrecognizable, and the rewards upon completion have been reduced. In short, the company is clearly looking for more $ to play to the point that it is now ridiculous. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Let’s send a message by not paying another cent. 2016:I've paid money more than once for this game so I find it very irritating that both a uTube and regular splash ad launches each time I play the game. Paying customers shouldn't be interrupted by intrusive ads. Both ads need to be cancelled to return to the game. The game play itself is fine and I will raise the rating if ads are removed. Update 7/18: the ad splash problem described above was fixed but the latest update has created a new problem. Zoom has been restricted so you now can’t zoom in closely to find hidden objects. Talisman rewards are hard to get. I enjoy the game overall but dislike how updates constantly seem to push users to spend more money. I have spent enough.
