The reason I like rescue buddies is because you are working together to rescue the gummy bear. It is an option and I am asked before if I would like to play. So I imagine it is the same for my buddy that gets chosen. The problem is the last 2 times I have been paired with the same person and they crush levels and get 10 stars and then they are gone and never come back. Why? I guess I won't play Rescue Buddies anymore because I do all of the work and I feel taken advantage of. The first time I thought it was just a person got busy and forgot. But now I feel like I am supposed to rescue and they get a free prize. Does anyone else deal with this?
