Loved the first game, but .... – Anodia 2 Review

Anodia 2 is just as beautiful as its predecessor, but the new game model is awful. And it pains me to give this a two-star review. The *original* Anodia is the best game in its class, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Why am I so disappointed? I want to play through all of the levels, sequentially. I don't want to watch videos to earn coins to spend on a CHANCE to win a new level which I then have to hunt for in the list of levels. And worst of all - the only way to understand the model is to play it. There is no explanation anywhere. If there's an in-game store, I haven't been able to find it. If CLM allows me to pay $4.99 to unlock all levels, and guarantee that I'll never have to watch another damned video, this will become a well-deserved five-star review. However, at this time, it's little more than a slap in the face to those of us who genuinely enjoyed the original Anodia over the years. Update: There is an option to unlock all levels - for $30. Not a chance.
