Been playing this game a few months now & enjoy it, (Any issues I've had I've reported & they've been resolved.) However, you have to spend an extortionate amount of money to progress @ more than a snails pace. The rate that crystals are 'given' for 'extra moves' are ridiculous. Starting at 4, then 6, 7, 9, 10 etc.. until you complete. If you're playing 'Storybook' you can't re-do the level you will lose your progress!! There are ways to get crystals, nonimal amounts that won't last long!!

Ronnie, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please note that you do not have to buy crystals in order to play. Of course, your progress won't move fast, but all the quests and levels can be completed without buying anything. The game is designed to play in small amounts, gradually.

Enjoy game. Have just "suffered" a phone reset ( own fault, not games ) But that has left me in interesting position of dropping from level 165, with ship, cave and pyramid finished, to zero. It is weird changing from getting 3000 points a game to 25. But it also returns to those easy games completed in a minute and also coming up with a prize that's wanted. Heighho, will play for a while longer but don't think I want to play for another three years to regain where I was at.

Been playing this for almost a year now, great game (and time wasteršŸ˜„) love it! However, I had to uninstall it due to latest update kept causing my tablet to crash...reinstalled a couple of days later and now I have built the pyramid and it's on level 6😲 (nowhere near building it before) had over 75 jewels, and a lot of other things had changed..very bizarre indeed. I think you have a serious glitch somewhere šŸ¤”
