I’ve played this game from the beginning. I always found myself opening it up to waste some time, and always enjoyed just being able to space out and play for a while. That being said, when the update introducing ‘powers’ ie bombs lasers and mirrors, I found that I wasn’t enjoying the game quite as much. However, I continued to play in hopes that the developers would be able to create a separate mode where you could play without power ups. Of course, at the time of writing this, that has not yet happened. When I found out there was a new update, I immediately downloaded it. I was incredibly, ultimately, one hundred percent disappointed. Not only are there now ads, a problem that keeps many other games meant to be ‘relaxing’ and ‘zen like’ from truly achieving that, but the field of play is SMALLER. It’s absolutely unwieldy and clumsy to use, and frankly it’s not ANYWHERE near fun anymore. The thing that I find the worst is, this would have been such a wonderful update! The developers gave the player the ability to choose whether or not to use power ups, but at the cost of making the game more stressful and annoying instead. I truly, truly hope that the size of this ‘new’ board is temporary, or going to be fixed. I understand and can tolerate ads. It’s how free apps stay free after all, I understand and respect that. But the size of the current board is just unappealing, and frankly, I believe that unless the board is returned to it’s former size, I will no longer be playing this game.
