I just remembered why I stopped playing the first one. it's fun to a certain point. After a while, they leveling system doesn't line up and in order to be strong enough for the next level.. you have to play it a ton and merge things.. or buy stuff. I was on one level for over 2 weeks trying to get strong enough and every level prior I was about to beat in a couple tries. It makes the game instantly repetitive and boring at that point and the prices for next to nothing is ridiculous.

I feel like it goes without saying that this is what the first game should've been.. This doesn't feel like a "sequel." It feels like a more polished version of the original. Though I enjoy the game, I do not, however, enjoy the constant prompting to spend money. Almost every screen promotes some kind of option to spend money, and when I close one pay promotion, I'm immediately spammed by two more. I don't download free games just to be constantly bombarded with purchase offers

Some changes from the original, but a lot of the same issues that burned me out of the first one. The grind wall seems to hit even sooner. More levels have limited size that prevent you from dodging while not hampering the enemies. Leads to many instances where if you're not one shoting enemies then there's not enough space to avoid damage so it guarantees hits on you. I really don't want to have to play the same levels for days just to make a small advancement.
