However, now you can only unlock the new characters on special events and you need to purchase the maps with real world money.Īs I said, I’ve been playing for a long time, so I don’t know if the older characters and maps are still able to be purchased with coins and gems. Before, you could use coins to buy new characters or outfits and gems to buy new characters and maps. Something that bothers me a lot is that now coins and gems are practically useless besides Head starts and Save mes.
Other people have talked enough about the ads so I’m not going to talk about that. The new maps and characters are always amazing, and the global challenges are great. I’ve been playing this game for a long time (at the very least five years) and although I’ve stopped for periods of time, I always come back. I hadn’t opened it in a while, so last week I did and the interface is so totally different that I can’t figure out how to play the game anymore. Update 10/21 - You have now officially ruined this game on my phone. I actually like the ads because I have tried more than a few of the games advertised, but a game that overrides Silent Mode automatically goes on my ‘never buy’ list. When I am playing someplace where I want to be quiet (doctor’s waiting room, at night when others are sleeping, etc), an ad that comes on with sound is frustrating. Another thing that is a problem are the ads that override Silent Mode on my phone. All in all, it is a frustrating game for your iPad. In addition, the game will often assume one thing when I tap something rather than what I meant. Not only do some swipes not register, but it’s not obvious what trips up the runners and suddenly I’m being chased by a monster and don’t know why. So, while I love this game and play it often, I know that I will quit playing in pure frustration after playing it for a while on my iPad. It works great on small screens, but I like playing on my iPad and it is terrible for that. This game is obviously designed to be played on your phone. Great game, but.it is not designed for the iPad
