Gets monotonous. Slow to progress. Can be expensive. I’m only on level 40, have spent money and still not progressed very far. I wouldn’t call them all enjoyable challenges. The aim is to help characters build an empire, the obstacles seem greatly in favour of extreme monetary gain for the developer and are all too often overwhelming for players. Costs are way too high, benefits from paying them very short lived, advancement negligible. Mostly boring or frustrating monotony in hope of progressing with very little reward. Progress incredibly slow and life short lived, taken whether or not you win any level in the empire. You ‘win’ more ‘points to play’ with when completing some games but, not consistently and usually in 5’s when 15-20 and more is necessary for one go. If you advance to next level play time increases but not by much, considering each time you advance, the play life, for each place, increases.As for the boat/ship levels, good luck with that. There is a different play there that doesn’t take life but takes whatever items you earn during the empire building. Again those levels get monotonous or frustrating. Odds too heavily and so predictably stacked against any wins. I do not play games to be annoyed, frustrated or bored, do you? I like a fair and rewarding game, enjoyable challenges.I have played then deleted the game because frustrating and not inspiring enjoyment, last year I re-downloaded, hoping for improvements, with more reasonable and enjoyable gaming. The idea has greater potential to keep players enjoying their game.Play or not but at least be forewarned..at first intriguing and then..not...yet.

Joke?
Jackpn
At least your program gave me a laugh this morning. Chocolate Day quest started - lasts five days. You need to complete three collections in that time. Each of those collections requires five items and you also need a total of 15 chargers. Is this a joke? This is impossible in 5 days - unless those chargers drop much more easily than usual. I have been playing quite consistently since lockdown began and have only completed one collection in that time. I have many ‘spare’ chargers. Could you set up some emporium in the ‘city’ where you can exchange chargers - the exchange rate could be fairly high, if you must? Another question. I don’t spend a lot of money. Have you set up your chargers to drop more for those who pay a lot? I only give this game 4*s I have had some pleasure playing the match 3 games. However the frustration at my slow, almost non-existent, progress is ruining the game for me.

Game has become aggressive
DragonWolf25
I’ve played this game for years but slowly the game has been set up so that you can’t win regularly without purchasing something that will help you do so. They stopped letting players buy helpers in ones. Last time I purchased something the quantity had reduced to 2 instead of 3. The ‘threat’ at the end of each non winning game- they don’t see it as a threat but an encouragement. Yup there are side components to win things - usually involving buying a membership. I stopped playing regularly. I visit cos I like the challenges of some of the games and now expect to lose most of the time. It was a brilliant game but now the emphasis on them earning money and the games being set up to lose by 1 most of the time is so obvious but it’s demoralising too. I only visit a few times a week now if that when it was my main go to.C’est la vieI’ve received the developer response, however the main point seems to Have been missed. As I have already stated the game seems to default to 1 square remaining encouraging the player to use hammers to win. Great for Awem not so great for those of us that relish the skill in being able to win without ‘cheating’. That is what has caused me to remove myself as a regular player.

Hello! Thank you for sharing this so honestly, and for playing with us for so many years. We’re sorry the game now feels more frustrating and purchase-focused. The game is designed to be playable without purchases, and your feedback about helpers, offers, and level balance has been passed to our team 💛
I want to finish the story
vivapattiejo
I agree with everything other people have written it does cost money to go forward in the game and I am now unable to spend more if the lotus requires chargers I get collection items and if the lotus requires collection items I get chargers the game must be rigged if I get a video to watch there never is one it has run out and if I start a story I am left in the middle without knowing the end due to game being too difficult to progress. How can I finish a story without using all my assets please make the stories easier so that I can finish it and the other games that get harder and harder as you progress I have never finished one yet. I have finished the ship but what happens next. And is game 9 the finish what happens next please I have played the game years but I am only on 189. And I love the night mode don’t stop it. So to clarify keep the night mode make the story book easier to follow so I can read the end of story make the pop up games easier so I can get to end just make everything easier to finish pop up games
