Best Fiends - Match 3 Puzzles

So many pop ups Between every round there are so many side games you have to click through, taking minutes, and the power ups timers are ticking. It would be nice if all the pops were optional or if the power ups timer wasn’t active while you clicked through all the nonsense. The timers should only be active while playing the actual game.

Money grab The gameplay itself is fun, but you have to jump through multiple hoops to play the game. You’re bombarded with multiple ads to buy power ups, watch ads for advantages, etc. before you can play a round - sometimes 6 or more times in a row. The power ups are frustrating, too. Sure the game will give you occasional power ups, but them will force you to sit through ads and cut scenes that can’t be skipped - all while your power up timer is counting down. You’ll be lucky to play more than one level with a power up because the game burns so much time between levels. Lastly, the power up timer is inconsistent. A 3 minute power up isn’t really 3 minutes. The timer skips seconds as it’s counting down. I literally watched the timer drop from 6 seconds to 3 seconds consecutively. This is exactly why I won’t “pay to play”. If the game played by the rules, I probably would make in app purchases. There’s no way I’ll spend a dime on it in its current state.

SET ME BACK ALL THE WAY TO LEVEL 1!!! NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!! I haven't played in a while and was going to play today my progress had been saved up till that point. Now I go to play and it sets me back to level 1, from WELL OVER 1000!!! I was pretty far. What gives? I'm not happy about that and now gonna have to delete (yet another) the game even even though I've been playing for a couple of years now

I wish there was a way to retrieve old game data I’ve had this game on my iPad for a couple years and it’s great I love the fact that it is a bunch of puzzles but there’s just one little problem… I was a little ways past mushroom valley and I stopped playing it for a while so the game uninstalled on my iPad causing me to start over I have the first six of all the colors and I had at least four of the fiend quest started… plus I had 4-5 area bombs including whisper, Rose, Terry, Newt, and laplonin and I just started to try and unlock the double rows/columns ones. Please help

Fun at first This is such a fun game in design, but it’s very much designed against veteran players. I’m fine with ads, I can just put my phone down and do something else. I’m fine with playing levels multiple times - a bit of challenge makes things fun. What’s frustrating are specifically the events, which would be awesome IF they weren’t completely unbeatable at higher levels without buying power ups. When I started playing, events were just hard enough to be satisfying when you beat them and got your reward, but at level 1000? I know every three day event is going to be too short - every special reward I would need to beat it will be too hard to get, but it will be carefully designed so that I’m *so close,* if I just bought ONE power up, I could beat it!! It’s deeply frustrating, especially because it will work on a lot of you. They’ll get their money, to h*ll with anyone who actually enjoys the game enough to put in real time playing it. I’m not quite ready to put it down yet, but I will be soon - there’s no point playing if I can’t collect characters, which is my favorite part, and events are already becoming actively demotivating because I know they’ll just leave me frustrated and discouraged instead of successful. And I’m *definitely* never giving this app actual money in exchange for squeezing its users this greedily - I really hope no one reading this will either.

Very disappointed I have been playing this game for years. 98% of the time it’s very fun and enjoyable. However lately there had been some glitches and I have tried to get in touch with the tech people and instead of helping me out they pretty much tell me it’s my fault for not taking screenshots when a problem occurs. I obviously don’t know they are going to happen so how on earth can I do that. Thanks for absolutely being no help especially after I’ve spent actual money and then get told your faulty game is my problem guess your right don’t waste your time or money on this game

Tesla 5 stars

Rewards nerfed as greed sets in. iOS systems get ridiculously looooong no ads commercials. Those are the worse. Don’t waste your time. Just skip commercials. New players have become their focus because the veterans know how much they have taken away in rewards and raised prices. Less for the same $. This game once upon a time…..made you feel like you got your money’s worth buying packets. Wrote feedback a few times and you always get a patronizing response…..if those responses were toilet paper, it would be good for something. Play and never buy. You will be happier.

frustrating and gimmicky i’m so sick of this game. i’ve been playing it for far too long and it just gets worse and worse over the years. the prizes keep diminishing, the goal post keeps moving constantly every single season. the pop ups drive me INSANE. why are there so many???? why do the animations take a million years, especially when you have a time sensitive booster? the timer keeps going down and you can’t skip the BS. every update makes the game less enjoyable and frustrating. After over 8k levels, i may be finally done. also this is my second written review, you guys must have taken down my other critical review.

Devolved very badly Played years ago and was having fun but if you look at the game today they made these weird babyish designs for the characters and theres so many “events” thats just randomized gacha stuff and so many pay walls overall became really boring and repetitive
