Could have been 5 star if not for the bugs. Great levels that are challenging but fun, useful power-up’s, and fun events. However, the events often reset if you restart your phone or reset the game, which is VERY annoying, especially since the game freezes periodically and requires you to reset it. In addition, every once and a while glue will randomly appear in the middle of a level and stay there until the end, serving no purpose except distraction and annoyance. Moreover, once a day you can watch 5 adds for more lives- this doesn’t work anymore. You can repeatedly watch the first add for five coins as many times as you want but you NEVER get lives. Finally, the levels are repetitive and the areas are basic after the first 20 or 30-ish; could have been more creative. On a good note, the timer to get more lives seems fair and encourages you to touch grass or something, although more coins would be nice. Overall, a fun game but with too many issues.

Generally enjoy the game as an entertaining time killer. Some of the hard levels can get a bit frustrating and take time and lives to beat, but the events like Piggy Race and Gem Hunt keep me invested and interested. Big issue is the game resetting progress on those events. The most recent occasion, I had paid for the Gem Hunt special offer (and was double charged—still waiting for Apple resolution on that) and was more than half way through, then this morning my progress for both Gem and Piggy were completely reset. Thought maybe the purchase error had been corrected and refunded and everything just reverted back to before pre-purchase. That’s not the case as all the other perks, like extra coins and level aids, are still there. Event progress was the only thing affected. Frustrating, a waste of money, and a lesson learned about not spending anymore on games (which I, admittedly, do too frequently). Oh, well. I’ll still play, just won’t get too invested, figuratively and literally, anymore.

This game used to be great & I would have given it 5 stars… BUT, the update before last made it so your progress in tournaments was lost if you opened the app without internet. That was frustrating b/c I don’t always have access to internet. Then the update this week really ruined the game. Now you can’t play it at all offline. So no more killing time in Dr’s office’s waiting rooms, etc. Also with this last update, you can’t skip 90% of the ads. It is so annoying. It is faster to close the game & reopen it than it is for the stupid ad to finish. You can spend $8-$10 to get rid of ads, but that is ridiculous! It feels like they took a great, 5 star game, & dropped it to 1 or 2 stars. The only thing that was wrong with the original game was there wasn’t enough ways to earn the help buttons like reverse, switch, etc. That is still a problem. With this last update I really think I’ll end up deleting this game & downloading a similar game. There are definitely more out there. I also liked the graphics & colors better before the update, but that is just a personal preference. I’m so disappointed that they ruined my favorite game.
