Almost a great game, but then… – Sticklings Review

For the first few levels, I thought this was a great game, totally worth the $.99 in app purchase to get rid of ads. But then, the developer made several typical mistakes that made me drastically lower my rating and eventually delete the game. First after maybe 20 minutes of easy levels suddenly becomes impossible. It could get much too hard, and playing the same level, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again it’s tedious, not fun. And then it gets even worse, as even if you played over and over that many times they’re just not solvable. Soon I discovered why this was… I tried tapping on the next level, since there was a level that I clearly was never going to get past even if I replayed it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again 1 million times, and I was told I had to watch three videos to get to play the next level. Well, having paid money for the game, I object to having to watch videos, especially several of them in a row, but in this case I said OK. Well, here the developer got greedy, because I watched a video after video after video, way more than 3, and it wouldn’t ever let me play that next level. After watching seven videos I gave up and deleted the app. Giving 2 stars instead of one because I did have about 15 minutes of fun playing it. Too bad the developer blew it... this could’ve been really great, five star game.
