Almost too good to be true. – Potion Punch Review

I started playing potion punch a while ago and just recently downloaded it again to play. I’ve gotten further now than I did before, just got to cloverleaf town, but I have to say I’m super disappointed with how much you need gems to get anything now. Wanna give npc’s that extra crystal or berry to get them the heck outta the way? Get gems. Want venue upgrades for cloverleaf? Get gems. Want that final upgrade for that new potion dispenser that already costs like twice as much to upgrade with in-game currency? Get gems. It essentially becomes pay-to-play towards the second half of the game, and it’s not just “oh pay $5 and you can get everything through the rest of the game with in-game currency”. No, it’s pay $50 to get enough gems, or watch ads for an hour just to buy the upgrades for something. And then, you run out of ads. What now? What am I supposed to do? Just never get upgrades again? Never get my x2 bonus again because I LITERALLY CANNOT watch ads? Instead of making people buy gems for in game stuff, why not just make the extra customers only purchasable with gems, and the bonuses that the extra customers give waaay better so that people have an incentive to get them with gems. It’s honestly just sucky that I don’t even want to continue playing because of how predatory the game is getting with gems. I’d love if you just made the game paid. I’d gladly pay $5 flat and just not have to deal with gems or ads. Please at least make the gem costs for stuff less, or give us more gems per ad, or just have an option where you pay $5-$10 and you don’t have to do any of that and you can just play the game. If you do that, then it’s 5⭐️.
