Fun but... – Smoothie Swipe Review

Ignoring the very noticeable similarities to other puzzle games with alliterative titles, Smoothie Slice is reasonably entertaining for casual play. However the difficulty level quickly raises from a fun challenge to a point in which in-app purchases become necessary to continue. For example, several levels require collecting a specified amount of one resource, which is fine excepting when they do not give you that number of that resource available for collection within the amount of moves allotted. This creates the necessity to purchase more moves or use tools which cost an unreasonable amount of in-game currency relative to what is available to earn by completing levels. So you either have to purchase the in-game currency or repeatedly play easier levels which don't have a high enough replay value to warrant doing. I'm not opposed to paying money on phone games and to be totally honest I've spent several thousand dollars cumulatively on different games. But this game isn't worth the expense, at least unless they drastically increase the amount of game currency per real dollar. It hurts to say that because I am a huge life-long fan of Square-Enix, but it's true.
