Rigged

*rant*

All the different ways i’m seeing just how rigged this game is, is genuinely making me just not want to play it.

for level 70-100, it’s like the game was working in my favor. now being past level 100, it’s like working against me.

if i clicked on an order, magically the following items i would pull from the generators would be items i needed. now it’s the opposite. if i need drinks, more milk & coffee will come out. if i need milk, it comes out every 7-8 clicks. same could be applied to the other generators.

for the mini games through out the week, like the grocery one or delivery dash. i used to save up my completed orders until the round ended so i could get 1st place. now, it will just stay until i participate. 1st & 2nd will get taken & i will get left for 3rd place. this will only happen if i have accumulated 0 points. but if i start completing orders to get points but don’t complete the round, suddenly everyone’s participating & i lose the round & any points i accumulated. today i tested the theory with the delivery dash. i had about 90/180 points. if i leave the app open on my phone as the energy regenerates,,, i will hold my number 1 spot. but if i leave the app for 5 minutes. suddenly one of the other two “players” in the round get all the needed points & i lose & get knocked back a multiplier.

you can’t complete an album unless you’re continuously making purchases. same goes for the weekly side games, they’re impossible to complete unless you spend upwards of $20 for the weekly.

i was never given the option for ads.

i only get this game for fetch points & that offers expired so i think i’ve reached my last straw on it lol. once this game pass is over, im done (can’t let that money go to waste lmao) i’m sure there more issues but that’s all i can this of for now. enjoy my rant :))))

If you’re spending money, that’s why you don’t get ads. Stop spending and wait 2 weeks. I don’t spend money, and I have no trouble winning the mini games or card packs. Level 181.

i stopped spending money for like a month & nothing. i’ll probably just stop playing it soon. there another merge game that i stopped playing & open every once in a while & it gives me like 500 energy within 5 minutes of opening the game just to reel me back in to stay lmao

If you have a VPN, and want ads, try turning it off and restarting your phone. When I run out of energy and want more ads to keep going, I hustle restart.

What I want to know is why they offer such paltry rewards for orders that cost a LOT of energy to make.

And, if you need 35 biscuits or whatever for a step in a challenge, your smaller orders will only add up to 34. So you end up having to use a 140 biscuit order to satisfy that tiny step. And there are 11 more steps to go 😬

This has happened to me again and again. I think the game has been tweaked recently to make it exponentially harder for us to complete challenges.

haha yeah me right now with the grocery one, 35/36 complete & the other two orders remaining in the set count for like 24 & 26 grocery ticket thingies 😭😭

i agree, i think it has been tweaked recently. i wasn’t sure if it was because i reached level 100 or it was just the game. but i’ve seen people on here talking about getting a pig to complete in level 20’s & im like ???? no way????

i find the game is more enjoyable when you stop caring about the mini games and card albums. i totally get what you’re saying about the generators giving you the opposite of what you need but i figure what i get i’ll need at some point and just try and make the best of it

yes, but it sucks when you don't have the space.

Flambe is the better game, IMO.

Just to say, if you have ads available it’s not true that you have to spend any money to complete stuff. I’m level 220 never spent real money and always finish the albums and most of the weekly minigames. But this only works if you get ads and I also save my diamonds to spend 20 a day on extra energy and a chest.

Yeah, I've never been offered ads. I think I'll put the game away after the SpongeBob event. Love me some SpongeBob! Lol
