Spent thousands

As the title says, I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on this app - I have now uninstalled - I know the pattern i've got myself into, as a neurodiverse human I have become addicted to the game. I'm on level 21000 or so - and am giving up as this game is ruining my life. It has been my comfort when watching tv for years, but I can't do this any more.

I am ashamed, but no game should be this hard and require this amount of money to get through levels. King, you are disgusting.

Thanks, I took a break a while ago and got sucked back in, managed to convince myself on Friday/Sat that I could spend money on it again but feel horrible about it this morning. I can't do it, it's money needed elsewhere - it has just made me angry - at myself, and at King, who have made it so difficult to get buy without spending a lot of money. It is unethical.

Hello @Patplay Please don't be hard on yourself, you are in good company as this app makes millions of dollars from people who get hooked on it like you did.

This is a reminder for me to link again my latest advice posts.

I am not recommending that you personally start a new game as giving up and finding a better use of your time is assuredly the best choice for you. But I will link to two of my threads which may be of some use:

You might get some ideas from these of what could have been…..

Take care and good luck!
