CookieRun:Witch’s Castle Blast

I came to this game from Cookie Run: Kingdom, as I've become obsessed with it, and while I like switching things up, seeing other characters and playing different types of games, I go long periods of time without touching this game and its other counterparts, like Ovenbreak, because the game's UI is very different from Kingdom. My first issue is that there's too many notifications. Every time you get a new item, you get a notification that you have to go into your inventory to get rid of, and the gachas are always trying to get you to spend currency other than tickets and gacha tokens with a notification there that you cannot get rid of until you're out of in-game currency, while in Kingdom, you only get gacha notifications when you have tokens/cookie cutters to spend. Not only that, but this game is constantly pushing me to watch ads as the move-counts tend to be too low, so I have to watch ads to not lose lives. I hate being advertised to, so this really gets on my nerves. The game is cute, and really fun, but the overstimulating UI and constant feeling like I'm being rushed makes it hard to play for too long or too often, while I play Kingdom daily and am more inclined to spend money I might make in the future on Kingdom Passes or other little things here and there than on the other games. It's sad, because I really do love this game and the others in the series, I just can't play them too often, because rather than being fun or relaxing, they can stress me out.

As a long time cookie run fan, I’m so happy to see the Devsisters listening to their fans! You can now use your special moves three times other than one (if at a certain level) getting the giant bear jelly blast moves is a lot more common now! They made the levels in general a lot easier by putting blocks that actually help you demolish the ones you need in order to beat the level. There’s even a new set of levels that were a lot easier than the previous ones💕you receive event gifts more frequent now too! I’ve been seeing the devsisters getting so much backlash and hate from this game. Which I really think it is way more than what they deserve since the game is still new and it is getting better. Yes there are things that still need work (like being able to buy furniture that you already received and getting 5 cookies or instead of just one or just being able to get more in the gacha by a single draw imo) but you can really see they are listening to their criticism and you should give them credit for that. I’m so happy to be a cookierun fan and I hope this game will keep improving!

It’s a simple and fun but initially was not worth the effort. The first 50 or so levels were easy enough and getting some of the various boosts was relatively easy. Then it’d get harder especially if you use up your cookies life potion, I’d be stuck on a level for a few days before the game finally takes pity on me and I can pass. downside earning life potions was really hard before the update, you had to hope one of the cookies produced it. even now after the update it could be improved, I think earning only 10 life potions is low for every level you complete, on top of the occasional production, I wish it were higher because there were points were all of my cookies would be empty and I’d use all my boosts on very hard levels. I like that there’s now differentials for the level difficulty. I think the gacha system is really poor, too many options from furniture to soulstones, npcs and of course the season gacha. It’s so hard to actually get anything decent and most times it’s either npcs or furniture. The season gacha is even worse, unless you buy it’s so hard to gain enough points to even pull and the probability of getting the seasons cookie is even lower with all the things included in it. I’m a solo player, so even if the game offers free cookies via invitation I don’t have people I could nag into doing it. I do like the game especially after the update, I’m in the 800s but the prizes don’t feel worth it and maybe I’ll just go back to CC or CRK
