“The new updated graphics and in-game menu makes the game look extremely cheap, covers some of the game with the number of tiles to be cleared, task menu is constantly flagged with red exclamation and worst yet is the repetitive 'server error' that kicks me out of the game and when it works again I've lost all the energy used for about 5 to 10 minutes prior, yet the tiles are back and therefore have to be cleared all over again.”
“Gone from a 5-star to a 2-star; this last update is awful, the cheap-looking graphics.”
