Yeah, definitely noticed a change in difficulty. It seems they want you to buy extra moves and treats to pass every level. This plus Clash Royale might make them lose tons of players.
I was coming in for exactly the reason you mentioned, to complain about the stupid Royale that you are forced into every few turns. It’s such a waste of time. I didn’t want it when it was optional, I don’t want it now, get rid of this terrible feature. All the rest you mentioned is true, too. I hope they are actually…
