The visuals and gameplay are great but the timers and not having the ability to replay a mission if i mess up half way through just plain suck
What I think would be cool and fairer at least if any level you have already completed could be replayed for free even if you fail, at least then when you don't 3 star it's not stupidly costly to keep trying for the third and it makes it more fun to high score compete with friends.
this is not good as the old AB games... I am at level 20 and Ive make 3 stars on every level, without any real game...
Tell me about it. Its really unbalanced, idk why they even have leaderboards. Either you get a really easy generated course with the right set of birds, or you get a tough course with the wrong birds. Plus it seems as there isnt even a big variety in the structures. Ive seen many structures multiple times. This monetization models sickens me... And im not talking about the timers and currency.
Any tips for the level 30 boss? I keep taking out the pillar of the tower and then the one blocking my aim to him, I knock out his tower so he drops to the bottom floor. I'm assuming I'm suppose to knock him off but I'm either unlucky and he never rolls off or I'm doing it wrong.
I knocked him off his tower, he landed on the platform, and I hit him off the platform by shooting a bird through the little opening
How can Touch Arcade have this game reviewed at 5 stars. It gets 1 star and if I could rate it 0 stars I would. Their monetization model completely ruins the gaming experience. Not giving the players a choice to pay for a premium experience or atleast providing an in app purchase to remove the timers destroys the gaming experience. What sucks is out of all the Angry birds games I like the gameplay so much I would have gladly paid $5 or $10 for it. They've disappointed a fan, ruined a possible great gaming experience, and the reviewer here is simply off base on this one. Billy
Absolutely detest the FTP business model. Give us the option at least to buy a premium version with no ads, timers and gems.
5 stars from Eli is the kiss of death to me. It's how I know to stay clear of a Particularly steamy piece of freemium krapware.
This model (freemium with premium unlock) does not make money, even less so than premium. When will people understand this????????
TA is pretty influential though, and that it promotes Angry Birds 2. That being good or bad, depends on the readers.
It's annoying me, in the first zone I rarely take that out in 1 shot and sometimes it requires 3 as one pig keeps taking off with a balloon. But on the boss I've tried going for him first and tried knocking out the tower first then him, guess I'm just unlucky with his falling.
It's really annoying me now...the first bit was always easy and now with these lives a pig keeps taking off and floating where I need to waste a whole bird just to try get that 1 pig. What makes them take off? Edit: I did attach a picture but for some reason it doesn't want to show
Its just a review by one guy who is a huge fan of this genre, its not like its their GOTY or they're promoting it all over their articles Them and the umbrella pigs >.< For the balloon pigs I'm forced to use matilda, you have to aim perfectly though. Use your ability to damage the structure and to fling her up to the balloon pig.
So just wasted 5 lives on the first stage of level 30 as a pig kept taking off and being extremely hard to reach, can only reach with silver or the White and only when I waited for the right time but then it's 1 bird just for that one pig. My previous tries were all fails on the boss but now on the first zone a pig keeps taking flight
This is spot on. I was cruising through levels in the second world and I got to a 3 screen one that was basically impossible on the 3rd screen given the 2 birds I had without using a spell (it was a series of blowers with a massive stone tower). Of course I died and came back the next time and the tower was made of wood and glass, but I still didn't pass and ran out of lives. It seems like the radomization is in part a way to force you to die so that you can burn lives. I sat the pad down for about 2 hours and came back and beat it on the first try. After playing more I have really mixed feelings about the game. It represents iOS releases from large publishers in 2015 like it or not. I guess I could hate it for everything that I don't like or try to look past that and enjoy the game for what it is -- something that I can pickup and play for 10 or 15 minutes at a time every now and then. Side note I downloaded Rio which I hadn't played since it released. Now it is laced with ads and there is no way to get rid of them. I actually deleted it, it was practically unplayable.
Wonder how much money Eli has dropped on this game..... Nothing against the guy, like him as a reviewer but it's easy to ignore F2P crap and focus on the Gameplay when You have enough lives & gems to last a lifetime Edit: dropped some cash & the game is much better! Changed my rating from 2 to 4
