I’ll take ‘Things that make you go hmmm for $200 Alex!

I absolutely LOVE every single version of the Angry Birds series. Dream Blast is by far my favorite. I’m currently on game level 5923 and player level 130. The levels are progressively getting more difficult (which I love because it keeps the gears in my brain grease and running smoothly) and don’t really have too much of a complaint except for maybe payouts for winning levels and coin amounts for bonuses. 10 or 20 coins here and there don’t do much for your game when you literally need 1 more move to win and it costs 100 coins to get a few extra moves. Even the payouts for the bonus games are pretty lame. You spend so much time completing levels and earning whatever the task requires only to find out the prize for finishing first is a color scrambler power up and if you’re lucky, 25 coins. It still doesn’t deter me from playing. I’ve spent multiple days playing, just trying to get through a single level. They could at least give 5 or 10 coins when beating levels. I’ve also noticed that after buying a coin pack you automatically either get a super easy level or if it’s a case of being stumped on a level for a day or so and miraculously winning after purchase.

Game Play Sets Users Up To Fail

I’ve been playing this game a long time. My player level is 250+ and my game level is 16,000+ and I’ve watched changes that the development team has made over time. There has been a move to make so many of the in game events dependent on winning streaks and I have spent money to ensure that I maintain win streaks just to enjoy playing. The problem is that there will occasionally be levels or instances of levels that will glitch and not give the user whatever item is needed to clear the level. When such a glitch happens the user is punished by having all of their streak bonuses stripped. It use to happen infrequently, however, I have now encountered this game behavior twice in one week. The second time it happened right on the heels of an in game purchase which rendered that purchase useless. I had eight turns left on the level, needed to crack an egg, and no eggs appeared even as I played out the remaining turns. It might be a different story if there were a way to submit a bug report or some dispute method to submit screenshots and have losses made whole, however, there is no means by which a user can communicate with any sort of customer service. In the past I’ve just walked away for a few hours/days and the issue seems to get corrected which makes it seem like the development team knows when these glitches happen and they patch them, but that doesn’t help when bonuses are gone and the ability to participate in seasonal events is damaged.

Play for hours!

Angry Birds Dream Blast is my favorite phone game. Like other reviewers, I have gotten super frustrated on higher levels and ended up spending money to buy bonuses. Maybe a little too much! I am really enjoying Dream Peak and love the Halloween Pass and the similar one a few months ago. However, I noticed in the description it says pass rewards can be claimed when you want to claim them. That was my hope when I purchased the premium pass. ($2.99 for all those bonuses—totally worth it!) But every time I hit the x, it automatically claims the bonuses. I ended up playing for like five hours last night and still lost a lot of my infinite lives time that I wish I could’ve saved for another day. When I got the first Halloween update, I was also having issues with birds freezing when they were going to explode, but I did a second update last night which seemed to fix it. Lastly, honestly having all the bonus birds for several hours, which I got as a gift today, can sometimes hurt more than help. When there’s so many, they all explode at the top, making you lose any birds you’ve earned, and don’t help as you go through the level.

Okay for awhile

Do you actually think there will never be a person that will play your game that might actually have just a little intelligence. I have played your game for a week now and here is my assessment. Forgive me if I am wrong, but the game play is trivial based on the players willingness to play. You set your winning and loosing in a pattern. You let you players win a few matches to build the confidence only to bate them into a special purchase to continue their streak. I get that, Angry Birds is a household name, but don’t think that there aren’t people out there that have the intelligence enough to see the pattern of game play. Your game play is pretty transparent. The physics change according to how many times the person has tried a specific level. If a person doesn’t pass a level a certain many of times, the playing will be adjusted to offset their efforts to ensure the player doesn’t lose interest. Once the interest to continue playing has been established, you revert to more challenging physics in the hope the player will spend money buying coinage. This cycle repeats over and over. The bottom line is this does not feel like a game. This feels like a fishing derby and we’re the fish. I have played 100 or so levels, but I can’t really say I am enjoying it, because of what I have stated above. Not this time Rovio!

Keep it fun

I loved this game until about level 250. It was challenging yet it was doable. I could really lose myself in the flow, and that is what I look for in a game. It also provided me with a nice amount of boosters that made the game fun and gave me more control. Then all of a sudden, right around level 250, the boosters quit coming (for the most part) and the levels became so hard to beat with the amount of moves you are allowed. I understand this is how the app makers make their money because it is a “free” game to play but the levels become impossible to complete without purchasing more lives or boosters. Ok I know the levels aren’t truly impossible to beat but it is really hard and basically I just have to play a level for a few days until everything is magically available at the right time and in the right place to complete it. I wish wish wish we could purchase the game for $10 or $20 so the app makers could pocket some $$ and then own a game that is fun to play that doesn’t cost me a $1.99 to complete. It is a fun game but I am not willing to keep feeding it $1.99 to make it fun. I’m not stupid

Used to be fun...

There’s some satisfaction in finally completing a really challenging level, but some of the ones above 500 are absolutely not doable without spending real $$$. I get it that the devs want extra money, but they get that from those repetitive advertisements. Some of these higher levels rely on random ball drops that you cannot control, and the ones you need just never come. It wouldn’t matter if you had power ups to play, because the balls you need aren’t showing up! And it’s not like you come up a few short... I’m talking 20 or 30 short every time. Level 565 is a perfect example of this problem. You start with very few moves, and have to get 12 pink just to get to the challenging part. If you don’t start out with 12 pink on the board, you might as well restart the level. Next, you have to chain 4 together to get the guy to spin the 3 color wheels (so minimum 2 moves there) and then HOPE you get 4 more together from the remaining balls so you can spin the wheels again. That’s 4 moves just to spin out the colors you need, and then you have to HOPE they spin out in your favor... which they just don’t. The only thing you could do is spend coins to continue your play, but even that won’t help when the “random” drops are not in your favor. Used to be fun.

Was fun! And then I hit a snag!

I had enjoyed paying this game. I ended up passing level 340 I decided to delete the game and stop playing, because I hit a level where you had to hit the box to get the color bubbles you needed. When I got the birds I needed and they exploded the lotto type bubble that’s supposed to shoot out the bubbles/balls when u explode ur angry birds.... yield no color bubbles “i.e. green” I literally played the game for 3 weeks straight to try and win the level.... and I’m pretty good at every game even candy crush! Where I finished the level once and there was no more levels until candy crush added more levels lol. So either there is a fault with the “lottery” type boxes that spins with the color bubbles in it.... or the level was not meant to be won! Because the amount of tries they give, is insufficient it’s like 34 tries when you waste about 16 on the first set of obstacles and there is 3 obstacles to pass buy the time I get to the 3rd and final obstacle there only like 4-6 chance left and it just doesn’t work! So I deleted the app after that! I’m a pretty smart guy, not to toot my own horn, but it seems to me that the level was set up that way so you pay to keep playing and win! Since I used up all my extra chances playing and still didn’t have a chance either way!

SCAM

I’ve played this game for YEARS. I’m among the highest ranked players in the world. It’s finally got to the point where, at the high levels, it’s impossible to beat without boosters (I.e., items that invariably cost real money). The other reviewers are correct… the game algorithm decides when a level can be beat, not some aspect of skill. This progressively got worse as the game matured. I held out hope for quite a while… until some months ago, when it became plainly obvious that this game was essentially scamming their users, I stopped spending my coins ( I currently have over 12k banked ). I’m not certain, but the “probability” that you may beat a level may be related to how many coins you currently have. Admittedly, this is anecdotal, but what is 100% a fact is that, at my current state with a huge bank, I am on a level that cannot be beat without buffs. Perhaps my huge bankroll crossed some threshold in the programming? Either way, it amounts to me ending my years long patronage of this game. What a shame!!! It’s a great game… one which I felt fine spending a few bucks on every month. That’s now ruined by greed, like the rest of the mobile gaming landscape.
