Eggs & Blocks for Pc

The game started off an entertaining pass time, but the level progression is so steep, it’s enough to make me delete this game. It’s fine all the way up to like level 14, and then even after have all the newest cards fully upgraded, I had to buy my way through it with gems! I couldn’t even get close. It’d kick me back to the previous level and I’d smash it and end up back at an impossible one again. On top of that, the only way to really get any good cards is to by the special the app with gems, and even then you get stuck with hundreds (literally) of basic cards that are obsolete; the only thing they’re good for is trading for spins, and you have to pay for that, too! TLDR; Bottom line: unless you have hundreds of dollars to pump into it (even if it was worth it), you need hax/exploits to beat this game. That to me is extremely poor game design. And I won’t even talk about the ads.

You have 4 cards equipped at a time but you can go the whole round without getting a single card of a certain type (like if you have drill equipped you could literally not even be able to use it) and you can end up getting like 10 of the same thing in a row. This makes it impossible to use any bit of strategy a lot of the time because you get stuff in the wrong order or don’t get it at all. It would be great if you were guaranteed to get at least 2 of each card you have equipped in a given round, and also be guaranteed to not get more than 2 of the same thing in a row. Other than that the game is pretty good, but this problem makes it really hard to strategize and try to use cards that are good together. I understand some random chance is good to keep things from becoming monotonous but this is way too much.

I really like the gameplay of this game. Too bad that progression is locked behind long timers or premium currency. When you win a level, you get an egg. The lowest quality egg takes 3 hours real-time to hatch. You can speed it up by watching an ad, but it still takes about 45 minutes to hatch the worst egg. You can only hatch 1 egg at a time, and you can only hold 4 the app at once. Which means there’s no reason to play more than one round an hour. Unless you’re ready to throw money at the game to progress faster. Which is a shame, because the actual gameplay is one of the best. I’d say top 3 block breaker games in the App Store. But I’ve now downloaded and played the game twice, and hit a wall at the same place both times. Eventually you reach the point where your weapons are under powered for the levels you are playing. At that point, you either need to pay money to unlock stronger weapons faster, or lose levels, and go back to a previous stage where you still can beat levels. Which isn’t my idea of fun. If there were some one-time payment upgrades to make the game less frustrating I might buy them because the individual levels are fun. But that isn’t an option. The only way to progress at this game at a normal pace is by spending money all the time.

The one complaint I have about this game is that even with the speed boosts it takes 18 minutes to hatch an easy egg, which means when my egg stock is full (which it always is) I have to wait 18 minutes between rounds if I want the full reward. If the the app took less time or if I could hatch more than one egg then that would mean I could play more often, which I’d love, and I’d be more inclined to watch the ads for double rewards because I’d have room for 2 the app. Or even if it just auto-started incubating the next egg after the first one hatched, then i could get home from work and have 3-4 open spots and I could play more than one round at a time.
