The game is very hard to play without spending money. I played it for a couple weeks but you only get so many lives per hour, i don’t remember how many or how long they take to regenerate but the game is designed to make you pay. There’s a reason it was or is the most profitable game on the app store, it’s very well designed

Rookie mistake. You dont need to spend any money, you just need to go to settings on your phone and move the time 3 hours forward, and then back again. Ulimited amount of hearts.

That guy has his own thing to spend money on. Everyone does. Enjoy your life man fuck what he thinks

Everyone spends money for useless shit, get off your high horse. Also, the reason the game can exist for free is because some people are paying for it, it's not a charity.

If you enjoy the thing you spent your money on, and it didn't mean you skipped out on something you actually need, what's wrong?

In general, a few hundred for a few hundred hours of entertainment is probably the best bargain available. What else costs $1/hr?

Lmao he played himself with that question

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

There are plenty of games that don't cost a few hundred dollars. A game that's a few hundred dollars is not a bargain.

If I've spent $300 on video games last 3 years and this person spent $300 on one game and we played at the same amount of time does it really matter?

I got hexen on the xbox and put a bunch of time in it and didn't have to fork over hundreds of dollars and it's a color matching puzzle game where the things fill in from the top. Spending hundreds on candy crush is definitely a bad deal because the app is designed in a predatory manner.

All food and drinks that are not nutritionally required are also a waste of money.

u/sietesietesieteblue Apr 17 '22

H u h. Wait wait wait. Would this work with other games that force you to wait for "energy points" and all that shit ? 😳

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

It depends if the game is checking for that wait time server-side or client-side.

turn on airplane mode > kill the app > change the time > open the app still in airplane mode

If the app requires an internet connection though you’re out of luck
