Lowered rating again
This is the third time I edit my review to lower my rating.
This game is beautifully designed, the graphics and stories are very nice albeit simple, and I havent had any technical issues. But some levels are unnecessarily difficult and it stopped being enjoyable. I think the last level I reached was 1124, and theres no difference between "hard" levels and regular levels anymore.
Personally I like games where through practice you gain skills as you play. That a game is difficult doesnt bother me. The issue with this game is that skill is reduced to paying attention to pieces that will create a power up if matched. The randomness of how the pieces fall makes it impossible to become skillful, hence why I think that it is unnecessarily difficult. The main skill you may develop is patience, by playing a level over and over until the game allows you to beat the level.
The issue of the stars earned vs. difficulty of levels has never been addressed by the developers even when it had been brought up by several players for what I see in reading other reviews.
Unfortunately, I dont see the point of playing a game from which I cant draw any enjoyment.
