Small Town Murders: Match 3

The game deserves five stars. The developers do not. This was the best game EVER, hands down. The match three was nothing special, but the storyline and characters were the best!!! I played it daily and even spent money on it occasionally. Then three years ago, Rovio dropped case 30, ended it on a cliffhanger, promised there would be more eventually, and crickets…. They walked away and abandoned the game and even developed a NEW game. Newsflash: people don’t like it when stories (whether TV, books, games, whatever) end on a cliffhanger. It’s rude and just plain mean to get people invested in characters not give closure. These characters deserved an ending, and so did the users. No it wasn’t as big a money maker as the Angry Birds multitude of games, but they never even gave it a chance. They let it run for just two years before abandoning it. This is why I no longer play any Rovio games. Instead I moved to Lily’s Garden by Tactile which has been putting out new content for over five years, pretty much weekly. Now Tactile gets my money. Shame on you Rovio for abandoning your users like you did!
