Typical app; it cheats

Like every other game, the developer(s) programmed this game to cheat. There is very little skill or strategy involved since you only win when the game allows you to win.

For example:

If youre doing well on a level, all of a sudden the SPIN wont give you the moves you need.

Youll have mostly RED on the board but, in the 6 to 7 moves, the spin generates NO red.

Or, the spin generates NO moves at all, causing you to lose a spin. This happens A LOT!

Or, the spin generates only one move and, of course, its NOT the color you have the most of.

Youll have almost NO green on the board and out of the 6 or 7 moves (depending on the level), the spin generates 5 green moves. While this is possible, its statistically impossible with how often this game generates this scenario.

If you make a move that creates a power-up, you almost ALWAYS have to ruin it by overlaying the power-up tile you just created. This happens A LOT!

Just because you use one or more power-ups to try to get past 1 star, that doesnt mean you have a better chance to get to 3 stars. Ive used power-ups and have only reached 1 star. Ive had games where Ive used several power-ups, only to get the worst SPIN generated moves ever. So, why waste them when youre only going to have to use more of your gold to buy more?

I recently had to replace my phone when it broke. I re-loaded Cascade and got everything back, except the gold. I had over 3000 in gold. I got my level and all of the leaf, water, and fire amounts back. I had to start over with the gold. Thats cheating!

I like the game because its mindless. I play the game when I have time to kill. But, its no fun when a game is programmed to cheat. And, it has serious flaws.

After you successfully complete a level, why do you have to also pay using leaf, fire, and water tokens to open the next level? Shouldnt the next level open simply because youve completed the previous level?

I have over 600,000 leaf tokens. Why cant I also use the leaf, water, and fire tokens to purchase other stuff? Like additional lives? Or additional power-ups? Why is it SO easy to collect these tokens when you only need 15-20,000 of each to open the next level?

Why cant I spin when Id like, versus having to use every move, including moves Id rather not make, so that the SPIN finally becomes available?

I understand the developer(s) want to make money but puh-lease! I am not going to spend even one dollar of my hard earned money on repeatedly buying additional lives, or gold, or anything else, especially when I know the game is programmed to cheat! Plus, even if you purchase this stuff, with the way this game cheats, theres NO guarantee it will help you get a better score! Its a total waste of money! That is guaranteed!!!
