So far it's much better than the original. Not sure what date I left this comment********************************** TODAY, 11.29.22-I've been playing for a while and NOTICED with this and other games if you buy & use tools, it seems like your algorithm changes and you can't pass a level without using more money, a tool or help. I don't like that. So I'm chalking from 5 stars to 3. Still a very fun game though
