Jewels Magic: Mystery Match3

I really enjoy the game. I’ve had many hours of enjoyment from it. The graphics are top notch. The music and sfx are annoying but that’s ok, I just turned the audio off and use the iPhone haptics feature. I do have one major complaint though is that too many of the levels are simply in-winnable without a great deal of help from “boosters” which the developer is constantly reminding me of “opportunities” to purchase more of. It’s clear they are using this as their business model instead of the old- school notion of selling you the game for a fair price and offering expansion packs as add-ons. This “free to play” model is, to me, deceptive. It leads to this practice of designing levels that cannot be beat without power-ups no matter how many times one plays a given level. I really hate this business practice. It leads to a whole lot of frustration in having to repeat a level over and over until the game engine decides to finally give it to you, sometimes, it never does and I have to use extra moves to finally clear it. I my view, every level should be solvable without having to use extras otherwise, what I see is manipulation of the player to make a buck. Not fair, not good.

This is a fun game. Really fun, and I like to play. It’s challenging and a visual delight! I’m not advanced to the levels some are..500+...Now I know the developers of apps like to make a little money for their efforts. Totally understandable and that’s fine by me. But when the player must watch the same ads over and over, well, it becomes too much. And you’d think that the developers would maybe throw the player a bone once in awhile especially when the player has stuck with the game watching a zillion ads which makes money for the developer. That gold you get? Maybe let the player buy a bonus piece with out having to use real money and watching an ad. Just sometimes. Or win a bonus piece after playing a level with all three stars or something...something. In the beginning I played several games before an ad appeared. And then got some bonus pieces, but as you play along, well, it’s that same couple of ads and watch an ad to get a bonus piece or buy it with money. Right now, money is in short supply for a lot of folks. This is a fun game. But I’m deleting it. Just too much with the ads. And as levels increase, you need sometimes those bonus pieces. Yeah, I could spend money on this game, but with two grown children with families out of work with this virus trouble, I cannot in good conscience do that.

I Truly enjoy this game!! It is actually very addictive and can be played without using actual money to purchase anything yes you do have to put up with some commercials but it is not overbearing amount!! I don’t normally leave comments or even rate apps that often. but I felt this one is made very well and is extremely entertaining! I honestly enjoy it quite a bit!! And when they do offer in game purchases they are at reasonable Prices and give you a lot of free things as well so again you don’t need to make purchases to play this game! I got to level 40 fairly easily but entertained the entire time!i even put it on My tablet which is something I rarely!!And laugh we just downloaded another other games to see how it is!!. I hope this is one is this one. So good job developers!! you’ve done a great job with this one!! I look forward to playing some of your other games I hope they are made as well and or as fair when it comes to playing and price is this one!! I hope you all have a merry Christmas and a wonderful new year I hope that this rating and comment helps a lot of people get your game as I really think it is worth downloading!!
