Fruit Mania™ for Pc

Im still shocked that these game ap creators have not caught on yet that creating a challenging fun game with unrealistic cost for extra "SPECIAL" items for the player to use to advance on tough levels. This idea that players will get so frustrated and eventually buy and pay almost anything to get past a certain level has proven to be poison to so many game we all could name! As players ,who are addicted to these games, we need to find and start playing games that are and do have more reasonable rates to play and for extra items. As a creator and contributor to many aps and games ( no i won't self promote ) i know money needs to be made cause it defiantly does take endless hours to create something creative. But i can tell you ,first hand, our most popular aps are the ones that we keep modestly priced or give them the options to join/ pay a small monthly fee to in-turn get use of unlimited features . If everyone complaining about the cost would do the above and could resist the urge to play these high priced games we will win by numbers. So i give this ap/game 3 stars and that is really based on my knowledge on what it takes too create these games. Otherwise it also gets or should really get a 1 star souly for greed on the developers part!

I can't play by the rules if they apparently don't exist. Took about 25 levels for it to get challenging. went pretty quickly and occupied my time while I was waiting to unlock the next candy crush quest. then come the hay bales. Some levels were frustrating, but we went along alright for a while. it finally got to the point that it was next to impossible. There are apparently no rules as to when the screen scrolls down to reveal more hay bales and you waste all your moves clearing almost the entire screen. Unlike other clear the the app levels when you can't advance if the app is at the top of the screen. You could have just 3 bales at the highest at times and it still won't advance, but other times you could have 8 or 9 and it will scroll down. I've checked discussion forums, and the response from the company rep is that it "just depends". Seems to be forcing sales by making it literally impossible to advance otherwise, and that is jacked up. You earn coins that aren't used for anything. Any boosts you purchase (with gems) in one level vanish if not needed.

This game is entertaining and addicting. The characters in it are cute and its easy to understand. The problem is once you hit a certain level (in my case 29) they make it impossible to pass the level without paying $5 for extra jewels. This level is literally set up without enough the app and the only way to pass would be to buy more. $5 is excessive in my eyes for enough jewels that get one boost. Then what? The next levels will all stop you in the same way but needing some other "boost" to keep playing and require another $5 to last one level. If it was $1 I probably wouldn't care but $5...really? To pass one level? Absurd. I think these are the same makers of bubble mania which is another great game but I stopped playing for the same reasons.

These teamlava games are so frustrating!!! Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful and very fun and addictive, but they have so many gold/gem traps to try and make you pay real money to purchase the rare/hard to earn gold/gems you need in order to get that really cool item you want. I played dragon story for over a year and one time was saving up for a special dragon you could only buy with 800 gold. I had saved for over 25 days and was up to 500 but still needed 300 more when BOOM, one wrong tap and POOF! 500 gold gone to buy a dragon I ready had! They will never refund gold/gems and I don't see them adding confirmation buttons to gold/gem transactions any time soon. That would be the only thing that might bring me back to play a teamlava game again. Until then I say, no way! No more frustrating saving for weeks/months with the VERY likely chance of having to start all over at the slightest miss-tap. :-(
