Reviews: What People Think About Peggle Blast

***Update: well I WON the game, and happy to report I didn't spend a penny on it. Too bad, I probably would have paid $20 to buy the whole game because I love the actual game play so much, but because EA was so greedy, they got nothing from me. I made a point of doing so. *** I refuse to give a dime of my money to a company who has stooped so low as EA has to CRIPPLE the game play of one the best games in the App Store, so I am slowly but surely advancing through the levels and stages. Offer a one-time purchase and I would be happy to pay it, but I will not be contributing to the mindset that the freemium extortion model is acceptable. To the 5 star reviewers claiming those of us who have nasty reviews are just whining because we aren't good enough, nope. Even when you win, as I have, the game will then ask you to wait 5 hours to play the next unlocked level...or of course you can ask your friends or pay $$$... no thanks. People caving in and paying or posting this crap all over social media in order to play are contributing to this problem, because it sends a message to companies that this method works. Apparently there are enough people willing to hand over their hard-earned cash for the hopes of advancing faster, and EA is raking it in as a result. It's a brilliant move for EA, whose bottom line is dollars and not good will. Greedy as ever, that is for sure. Not impressed.

Look, I love Peggle. I played the PC version growing up, and I was so hyped to have it on mobile, too. Yeah, it’s not the same as the PC version, but it’s still fun…until you get the glitches. I’ve played this game in full on mobile before and had no issues, but I just redownloaded the app and started completely fresh. Was doing great, having fun, but there were two levels right at the very beginning that wouldn’t count all the orange pegs I hit. One was an arbitrary level where you start by using your first level help with extra green pegs, which was easy enough to get past if I just ignored the urge to get as many orange pegs in one shot. It said to hit 25 orange pegs, and I had several retries where I cleared the entire board but it wouldn’t let me move on because it refused to count all 25 orange pegs that I hit. Again, I got past it by going slower and hitting fewer in one move. Unfortunately, the level where you’re encouraged to do a slide move (the spiral formation) gave me the same issue. No matter how many times I restarted the level and tried to fire to get no slide or as few orange pegs in one move, it would not count all 25 orange pegs I hit. Again, I cleared the board several times, and nothing worked. This ultimately made me delete the app entirely. I couldn’t care less about in-game purchases or whatever else, but good GOD this game is literally unplayable with the glitches. Hopefully they fix this crap.

The game itself is quite fun and feels like a proper Peggle game. However, it is very clearly designed to rope you in and then squeeze money out of you. In the beginning, the only real issue is that you only have 5 lives which regenerate after a certain time period. For the most part this is fine, although it can be a little aggravating when it comes to levels that involve a lot of luck and/or random elements. Other than that, the microtransactions don’t feel too forced and you only have to watch ads if you want to earn extra power ups or lives. However, at around level 45, this suddenly changes. I sincerely hope this is a bug, but after *every single level*, you have to watch an ad. If you fail, you still have to watch an ad. Sometimes if you cancel instead of retrying, you get another ad. And in further levels, you sometimes get ads when *starting* levels. It’s ridiculous. And they don’t even offer a one-time payment to get rid of the ads?? I would gladly pay $5 to get rid of the ads as it is an otherwise fun game, but I just can’t keep playing at this point because the stereotypical low-effort mobile game ads are way too frequent. I’m so tired of seeing good games be ruined by corporate greed, so please do not spend a single cent on this game.
