Fun game, but not magnificent.
Lately though, I have noticed a -significant- drop in frequency of electric upgrades appearing during my runs. This is not a complaint. It is an observation of a pattern.
The other elemental upgrades…fire and ice…continue to pop up with their usual frequency.
Electrical upgrades have become rare to the point where i’ve gone entire runs without seeing a single electrical upgrade appear, much less the full four to max out the skill.
I didn’t expect my investment to guarantee ultimate success forever.
I did expect appearance rates to remain stable enough that my character remains viable.
Prioritization of cash over game experience hurts a lot of decent games.
I’m not surprised to see it happening yet again.
Eyes open, fellow gamers. ;)
Fraudulent.
The issue is they encourage real money purchases, get them, then change everything to render those useless. Worse, they at the exact same time, introduce new items clearly made to mitigate their damaging changes to encourage more money spending. It’s a very predatory bait and switch tactic that isn’t even being hidden. It is blatant. It is now up to Apple to pull apps like this one for clearly fraudulent practices and tactics while providing refunds for the apps they have allowed to exist in their App Store.
Changes are to be expected, balancing, correcting VFX issues, or even changing systems for better understanding. The practices here look like that on the surface but doing it with the introduction of new items to spend on, mitigating those changes, is a much darker issue. This isn’t the typical behavior you find in other games. This is clear cut fraud the developers aren’t even trying to hide.
I don’t tend to review. I choose to spend or not and I need to take accountability for that. This is distinctly different which is why I’m making a review. This is scam level practices rather than the normal power creeps added over time. Folks spent, and an app update with zero mentions of the changes, ripped the benefit from them for new items curated to mitigate the changes. It’s dishonest, dirty, and shouldn’t be accepted. For Apple it shouldn’t be allowed to exist on their App Store, doing so is a nod to this grotesque and obvious practice. While I hate to admit more honest power creeps as normal stuff and decent, this is anything but. It is pushing that idea in an entirely new predatory way that should not only be unacceptable to users but outright banned by Apple. This is not normal game development stuff, it’s fraud.

Hi, this is a free-to-download and play game, where there are a lot of adventures awaiting! Indeed, there are paid items in-game to help you get premium help on accelerating the game experience, but it won't make a big difference in the whole gameplay. Enjoy the game!
