- “And don't even get me started with the music.”
- “Some advice: -maybe a little hint that you can use the extra crowns for buying more nests -some towers/levels are impossible without a booster -some extra incentive to play on; (maybe a place to customize using crowns to buy stuff) or maybe extra tasks of some kind -some towers don't make sense: sometimes they can be flown through but other times a touch and it kills you (mainly the pirate boat towers) -sometimes the music doesn't play.”
- “It would be nice to hear different music with different powerups, and maybe make it toggleable because I quite enjoy the background music, and sometimes powerup music is just too harsh.”
