A friend gave me a copy of this game during the sale, and I figured I'd give the game a real shot. The first thing I'm met with when loading the game is your regular "this sure looks like a mobile game" interface. While this isn't inherently a bad thing, having no volume options(except on/off) and no resolution choices except switching between fullscreen and a small window is really lacking nowadays. When I first started playing the game, I was intrigued. The mechanic(there really is only one) of the game is fun for the first few levels, and although they introduce 'stronger' enemies in the first couple of levels, it gets really tame after playing for a few minutes. Hoping for more variety, I played the first 100 levels, and couldn't progress. Going to the level select and the second level select screen(101-200) I was unable to pick any of the levels even though level 101 was [b]not[/b] grayed out. After toying with it for a while I managed to get to 101 by [b]skipping level 100[/b]. When I skipped 100 I got into lvl 101 and was able to play on until I got to level 200, which seems to just be empty. The game advertises 1200 levels, but I get the feeling there are just 199, and even the levels that are in the game seem to be randomly added by some algorithm. As I got into levels 110+ the levels seemed easier than the later ones in 100, and the difficulty curve is generally all over the place, as I got through most of them by simply just clicking more or less a random tier 1 enemy. If you after reading this still want to buy this game, keep in mind that that you will basically just be somewhat randomly be pressing a candy, then having to wait for all the animations to finish before you're able to click the next candy. The UI is generally clunky aswell, when you complete a level, there's no way to restart the level without going back out to the menu. The game is a somewhat interesting mechanic getting played out way too much. The game has little variance and generally very little challenging. I wouldn't suggest this game to anyone, there are several other games toying with other fun mechanics on steam in this price range that's way more worthy of your time.

What players are saying
This game was fun while it lasted. There is 1200 levels BUT only 100 are accessible. I have completed all 100 levels and most with 3 stars. How ever I have reached level 100 & can see the other levels, but they are all grayed out. The game wont let me continue on to level 101 and so on, even once I have completed that level. It just seems to repeat the same level 100 over and over and so this will get old fast. [h1]Just got a give away key, so I now have the game back again yes for free this time. [/h1] Game has been updated and improved as I have breifly discovered. I will need to play on some more and see if I can progress past the next 100 levels and yes I can now pass level 100 as I had plenty stars to pass level 100 but could not before. :P So now on to progress to level 200 and so on. I can already see an improvement, but still I need to clarify this myself. IF this game has been fixed properly, then yes its worth your .99cents, would be even better if trading cards get added as well. So I will play some more over some time casually and see how the game pans out. I will give this developer the benefit of the doubt, until I manage to get to level 1200, until then my review stays negative for now ok. BUY this game at your own personal risk, as I cant speak for others only my own experiance ok.
This game simply isn't worth a penny, people. It feels like some sort of a sad school project. And: There's nothing positive to say about it. Maybe it could work as a free game, though. But paying money to play this trash? Insane! I honestly cannot 'recommend' this garbage. Games like these just don't belong on steam. The White Rabbit Games should be ashamed. I simply have to give this my negative review. Nobody wants to play such a ripoff garbage.
