UPDATE: This past year, the devs rolled out an update to make the levels easier. Less moves, but more boosters, so I suffer a lot less with getting stuck than I used to. But it's still a bit of a nag to get you to spend money, particularly on monthly "season passes". They're not very expensive, so YMMV on whether you think that's fair. Very cute characters and fun story otherwise. Fun move mechanics for a match 3. Despite my complaints in the past, I've grudgingly played this for years now.
