    Changes are inevitable, but you just "shrunk the sweater" and it no longer fits, so I have to throw it out. So much for "relax & play". If I can't just comfortably sit in front of my screen and SEE the board so I won't play + I won't pay = Your loss, financially and as a follower!

    Hi and Welcome to the King Community

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the feedback. Recently a changed was made in the game to only let players play in Portrait mode (this is how the game would look like when playing on a phone). This change is also effective on Windows. Currently there’s no plans on changing this back, but please leave your feedback on the change in this discussion.

    It’s not fun playing on any device in portrait!

    Ok. I’ve been a faithful and devoted (addicted!) player for YEARS! But this new format is absolutely indefensible. It’s great for a cell phone, but for a laptop, no way! King, you’ve made a HUGE mistake. Let me know when you fix it. C ya then.

    Too bad on no plans to change it back. I guess level 13964 is where my journey ends. I will however save money. Today would have been the purchase of the "Saturday Sale" at least once if not twice. Obviously the big change is to attract new players, not keep the long-time. Best of luck capturing their attention for even a week, let alone making any purchases!

    Why has the game screen changed on my laptop? It's hard to see for older people. when I make the screen bigger, you can't see your other power ups or anything. Its horrible to play.

    Yes, I think you have got that one spot on. I'm sure they are doing this to attract new mobile players whilst pushing out us old ones near the top. It's a shame, but it's all about profit after all. Too many of us don't spend money. I used to, until they changed iPads to portrait only. My image lies on its side! How am I supposed to play like that! That was months ago. I made it to the end of the game and I can assure you that you won't be missing anything by opting to quit now. The levels above 14,000 are all horrible and no fun at all. Many completely impossible. Use your money for something worthwhile and good luck with finding something better to play.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
