Not much of a regular here, just started posting comments recently even though I use this site for the walkthroughs to get three stars in the older games. AB2 isn’t like the older versions but I like it. Very seldom ever play the older versions any more. It can be frustrating when getting stuck on one level for a few days. I have finished all 520 levels at this point without spending money and play the arena on a regular basis, also without spending money, and win quite often.
It isn’t an easy game. Yes, there is time involved, 5 tries at a level (each level has multiple rooms) and then out for a while. Get a new life every half hour but that maxes out at 5. It is possible to continues playing a few more tries by playing an advertisement to get an extra life and it is also possible to continue a level by watching an ad to get an extra bird. There are other rewards, daily and sometimes by watching yet another ad.
These gems people talk about can be bought, but they can be earned as well without spending money on them. Usually three a day just for opening the game and collecting them, then 2 more for playing the arena, 2 more for popping so many pigs, 6 more for collecting ten stars, 10 more for sending a gift (collected in some levels) to a friend through Facebook (something I can’t do because I don’t have FB), and more for winning in the arena. 100 for first place, 50 for second, 20 for third on down to 2 for 7th place. That is out of a group of 15 people randomly selected. But you don’t play those people directly, just compete for stars.
The arena is a week long competition, starting Saturday evening and ending the next Saturday. Maybe that is different at lower levels, not sure. There are eight levels of the arena, diamond being the highest. Placing in the top three of the 15 people in your group advances up a level. Placing in the bottom three moves the person down a level.
There are a few glitches and bugs. There was an update a couple of weeks ago that caused the game to no longer open. But that was fixed pretty quickly. Over all I like the game. Others maybe not so much, but they sure are here talking about it a lot.
