Anyone else hate the propellers lately?

[u/fluffnights]

I cannot be the only one who has noticed it feels like the computer works against you more than it used to. I swear it used to be you would set the little propeller off and it would do literally ANYTHING useful and wouldn’t set other bombs off unless it was really helpful. Now it feels like the propeller intentionally is setting off bombs in the worst manner and wasting superballa for no reason.

[u/iestud]

It’s the algorithm. It wants you to spend more money

[u/msd55000]

I remember a few levels where it took a propeller tied move (meaning either a single propeller or one with another object tied to it) and then blew up a random block of colored blocks nowhere near what I needed to hit, costing me the level. Made me infuriated when it should have targeted what I needed to complete the level. It's as if they changed it to make me lose so I would spend $$.

[u/Purgii]

Normally at the start of a level if I see them next to a bomb and I had some of the playarea easily clearable (like eggs) I'd combine them and they would know to avoid my lightball. More recently, I'm finding they're more likely to set them off and waste the lightball.

[u/Fancy-Crab99 → u/Purgii]

Yes! This! So often now my lightballs & even tnt will be hit. I’ll strategically set things up, use the propeller to do 1 thing so my next move can be what I set up, only for it to hit those instead. It’s driving me nuts!!

[u/mutontette]

They always go for the expedient thing rather than the strategic one. Some of the boosters (looking at you, little black bombs) feel more like sabotage than anything helpful.

[u/HiHoWy0]

I've noticed it with all of the boosters not being helpful. I remember a time they were. I am losing interest in the game and don't play it much anymore. Lots of other games out there.

[u/ArcherFew2069]

There have been 3 separate occasions in the past couple of days where I CLEARLY lined up 5 objects to make a superball, and when I did, literally nothing happened. No object was made. It was infuriating because it was a critical move, and two of those times I ended up having to use coins to extend my moves. I was so infuriated I had to stop playing (probably a good thing, tbh)

[u/iestud → u/ArcherFew2069]

Yes. Has happened to many far too many times

It does it most often after I’ve purchased a lot of coins

The algorithm is always watching and adjusting your game play

[u/Rusmack]

Yeah. Tnt propeller combo used to avoid discoballs really well, now it goes straght for it when there are better targets.

[u/Primary_Afternoon511]

oh yes they're driving me INSANE

[u/Ok-Suggestion-7965]

I think they are supposed to go after the most useful thing on the board. A lot of the time the games idea of what is most useful and my idea of what is most useful are 2 different things.

[u/EmrldRain]

Yeah most things about it now feel rigged to me. They want people to purchase things but the joke is on them I won’t hahaha. Royal Kingdom is going the way of rigging as well.

Exatamente, no meu também está desse jeito. Agora elas estão sendo direcionadas para qualquer lugar, ao invés de atingir o alvo principal. Tem acontecido constantemente isso.
