Strictly Come Dancing

I love SCD and candy crush so this is basically “kill two birds with one stone” for me. Great graphics. A couple of little pointers for improvements I would really love to suggest. :) • In any of the levels (training, dress, show) if you are three gems away from your last star, and you have one move left, there is no point to having that move. As soon as you connect the three gems with your last move, it will say session complete. It really annoys me knowing that I have the last star but it would count because I ran out of moves. What would be great is if upon the last move being played, any dance moves yet to be tapped, would activate automatically. I find myself having to watch an ad, just so I can activate what I got through the original moves, not even touching the 5 extra moves I just watched an ad for. That is the biggest peeve I have with the game. • I’ve noticed that the wardrobe department has very very recently slimmed down its accessories. Some accessories that I have bought have vanished completely. Diamonds are timely to save up for. If items are going to be removed and they are already purchased, either refund the diamonds spent on them or allow the player to keep them. I’ve lost a few items and have not seen the difference, which is a shame. I looked to see if the game had been updated to see if that was why. No such luck there. Great points: • I love how quickly the energy bar fills up. • I love the rewards from each week and the gifts from Sonia and option to VIP. • I love love looooove the graphics!

Very colourful game with good graphics that captures the essence of Strictly. Love collecting the dresses, and reaching new levels to unlock new dance steps. A few criticisms though. To get the best out of the game you have to watch several ads. Don’t mind this when it’s to get prizes quicker or earn extra practice sessions, but it’s very annoying when you’re playing a practice session that’s been manipulated so you cannot possibly reach the required goal without having to watch an ad to complete it. Worse still is when you have to use 50 diamonds to get the one extra move you need to complete the dance ... it makes it impossible to save your diamonds to buy the accessories you need to improve your score. Would be a much more absorbing and enjoyable game if you only had to pay 10 diamonds for additional moves, and if the accessories cost less diamonds to purchase.

Really love this game and have done for a while now. You get to train throughout the week and try and get a high a score as possible for the live shows which start on a Friday and continue through the weekend. The only downsides to this game are how expensive the accessories are which of course you need diamonds for. These can be won albeit sparingly. You get 25 diamonds daily for completing the daily tasks, of which you get 3 diamonds each for, along with 10 diamonds for daily login. This sounds quite a bit but when the cheapest shoes are around 150 diamonds, then.... Of course I have found that you don’t need these accessories to win. I have come first almost every week in the live shows now for about 8 weeks running with only one purchase of some earrings with my diamonds, so it is do-able. My main issue with the game is that you need to be practically on the game 24/7 if you want to stay ahead and win which isn’t something I want to be doing all day everyday. For this reason I will be sadly uninstalling this game :( I would love to continue but just simply cannot be playing every minute of the day. An option to this would be for the developers to change the way the scores are kept throughout the week. As in, don’t! Keep the weekdays for simply training and levelling up each dance but do not keep a score, only have scores given for the live shows and a winner is produced from those live scores and not on who’s been playing all week! Still a great game but this is one fan who has to hang up her dancing shoes for now
