Tap Ninja - Idle game

I've put a lot of time into this and before this recent update I was really enjoying the game.

This update has massively increased the grind a player faces whilst taking away the perks and points I had spent hours and days grinding towards. I was already struggling before and they promised this update would "Make it a lot less grindy" but instead it's made it infinitely worse.

I lost access to my medal perks I had before (These have been forcefully reset and locked way higher than they were with more medals needed now), my income has been smashed to bits, levels I had earned in a shrine cut in half to nerf how many coins I get to gain elixer and I have to retro-actively spend elixer to get a measely % of elixer gains. I was already struggling and hitting a difficulty curve only to be met by a much steeper one.

This update needs a major fix or reversal. I'm keeping this neg-rated until then.

This is a decent game, especially for a free one! But I can't recommend it because it's not accurately advertised (as of posting: "Tap Ninja - Idle Game").

No way is this an idle game - progression requires active clicking.

If you're looking for an idle game, skip this.

The initial gameplay loop was fun for a while but late game offers almost no progression without spending money. The developer has been removing discussions complaining about the greedy micro-transactions or insane requirements for events.

These are some tasks in the current event:

- Spend 4000 amber (about $45) when you can only earn 9 amber a day.
- Open 35 eggs. You can get about 3 a day, or you can pay $40 to get 35 eggs
- Upgrading my current pet star level requires 6561 tokens. The event reward gives 500, eggs give about 5
- Buy 1000 buildings of the same type at once, something only 0.5% of players (according to achievements) have managed

Some task rewards give amber and eggs but they're carefully placed at a point where most free-to-play users will not be able to reach.

As an extra note, there's no gameplay layers that unlock later on, there's only 5 or so enemies and 2 abilities. You're doing the exact same thing 400 hours later as you were when you started playing.
