Lyra wants equal pay

I disagree at least a bit. I find each cat has value, depending on the level. For instance in a level with many blocks of same color bubbles, Puck's contributions can actually be harmful, since the arcane bubbles only take out a few surrounding bubbles, and can interrupt clearing a major section. Also, on some levels with (for instance brooms) Pick's arcane bubbles can replace the brooms, or other helpers.Puck is also useless on some levels that already have arcane bubbles. Leo's contribution are good, but they don't necessarily help win a hard level., and you don't keep the points he gives if you lose. And sometimes, Lyra's fairy can do some major damage if you clear a group of them all at once. My favorite is Eri, who is almost always helpful. It just depends on the level.

I have to confess, sometimes I select the cats simply because they look so happy and excited when you pick them., and sometimes so sad when you don't! 😁
