Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Flurry Spyware, Chartboost and Flurry Ads adware, In-App-Purchasing, and Facebook - all aimed at YOUNG CHILDREN - is an automatic 1-star! The 5-Star ratings are coerced - if you don't rate it, you don't get all the achievements. Undoubtedly there are some other incentives as well, such as the plethora of Facebook inducements. The IAP is prominently featured on the main menu screen, and Facebook enticement takes up a good third of the screen. The highest price item is $25, but since I won't let it have access to the internet, the prices may be out of date. Everywhere you turn there is an opportunity to spend your REAL MONEY on this game. And if the game can't connect to the server to take your payment, it can lock up on you, forcing you to do a Force Close. You can get 5,000 coins for doing various things with Facebook. BUT only one can be tricked into giving you the 5,000 coins, so the others are not available to paying customers without a Facebook account. One power-up costs $2.99, and you can use $25 in cash to buy a million coins. It seems to me you can buy millions upon millions of coins. I never saw any blatant ads, but since this cannot connect to the internet that isn't surprising. There are, however, opportunities to buy merchandise through strategically placed child-attractive buttons. GAME PLAY: You have two choices: Classic, or money-siphoning, Facebook begging Blitz. Either way, you are supposed to stack items inside the bag, trying to make relationships and to not crush fragile items. There is no undo, only reset. You must complete each level in Classic before moving on to the next level. There is no skip. BOTTOM LINE: AVOID! Not even for free!
