The new game style is awful. No way to collect boosters, no free play time, levels are impossible to pass without spending money to buy boosters. I'm getting stuck on levels for over a week! This isn't normal for me. It really feels like the game is fixed so I can't pass.
I sometimes treat myself to the weekly $2.99 offer, so I do spend a little money on the game. But now, with no way to earn lives, no free play rewards, and no way to collect helper items, I can't play, can't pass levels.
I've been playing this game for years! But if it stays like this I won't be playing at all.
