Less help as you level up

The daily drop feature is no longer appearing. It used to show up regularly and the airplane would drop elements after reaching a certain amount of energy usage, but that no longer happens.Several other features also seem to have disappeared at higher levels. The option to watch a video for 10 energy is no longer available, and there is no longer an option to watch a video to unlock element bubbles that appear from merging.These features were part of the regular gameplay experience and their removal has made progression feel less rewarding and reduced the number of ways to obtain resources. It would be great to see them restored or to receive clarification on whether these changes are intentional.

So disappointing at this point. It has become very pay-to-win. If you don’t purchase anything, your chances of winning a contest are very low, and getting something good by luck is even rarer.I’m a regular buyer, and for example, with the Nautical Storage Bin, I sometimes have to spend 100+ energy just to get something as simple as a lifesaver ring. It’s really frustrating!I understand that the game needs to make money, but the current system feels way too heavily focused on spending, and it takes away a lot of the fun. Or take the extra product bubbles, for example. If I reach Level 2, the Level 2 bubble only appears right after I’ve already passed Level 1 for that item — usually when I’m completely out of energy. I’m currently at Level 123 and I really want to keep playing, but it feels like the game doesn’t help you progress at all anymore, not even when you make smaller purchases.All the offers start at $3 or more, and honestly, I find that really expensive compared to what we used to get before. The rewards and offers just don’t feel as generous as they used to, and it’s becoming increasingly frustrating.

The game is crazy manipulative and expensive to play for more than 5 minutes at once. By the very nature of the merge mechanic the merge requirements grow exponentially and in the end the reward is unlocking very small pieces of the biggest cafe, restaurant you have ever seen. The game will ask you for money to buy energy then they will ask you for money to have where to spend that energy (items generators need to recharge) then the generator will run out of items just before, leaving you with an unmerged chain and a board full of crp. It will constantly bombard you with items that you can buy with gems. It is crazy how much money they can ask for just for so little. But of course they need to milk the few who pay for those that play for free. Really don’t bother playing this.
