Sorry to scream in the discussion title, but that is what this game has come to. As I near level 14000. I am being blinded with these after almost EVERY move. I have to look away. It's so annoying. Why is this necessary? I've minimized the board on the PC to keep myself from going crazy, but my old eyes :(. It does not matter the format either. I think I hate this more than the constant pop up screens. Does King even play these game? So I think a person in a King staff meeting says " The level is hard, but let's make it even more torture", well you nailed it...good for you.
