It's been over another year since I posted this and STILL no new cases for the storyline!!!! 😭😡 I love this game but when are we getting back to the storyline with new cases??? Finished case 30 been waiting since last year, and I'm getting bored with the side line games which seem to repeat! Come on hurry up!

I tried this game again for the final time and nothing has changed. Still take days to beat 1 level. It's way too hard when you cannot earn helps. Uninstalled!!!! This game again. I've had my fill. Game is very aggregating!!! No, thank you! Steer clear of games like this.

I first had this game a few years ago, but like others said the boards became impossible to beat fairly quickly. I uninstalled it, and just reinstalled again a couple of weeks ago. A lot had been fixed, there were a lot more opportunity for unlimited lives, and I was enjoying playing again - until I hit level 1355. It's a 10x10 board with 2 corners (3x3) cut out, on which all 16 bricks must be destroyed in only *14* moves. I've played it 50+ times, with boosters. Time to uninstall again, sadly.

And that's it with all the angry birds games. If you like my ideas rovio. You should accept my feedback (for real this time), make your fans happy, do a friendlier monetization approach. And don't use Ai in any games. AT ALL. So I hope you will get a good future there rovio. I'll be waiting. oh and what about the small town murders and candy blast. Just replace them with the actual fan favorite rovio stars like amazing Alex, tiny thief, icebreaker, retry, and many more. So good luck rovio
