Just when you thought Rovio developers couldn’t be more pitiful, I ran into the usual “can’t background the game on Android” bug but with a new twist.

I was playing streak 7 and winning big when I paused the game to take a picture of my cat. Tried to return to the game only to have it restart (Rovio alone appears incapable of backgrounding Android apps reliably).

OK, no big deal, I’m not losing the streak, just a ticket. Wrong. It considered me losing the game and streak altogether. A rare occurrence. NOT.

Which, come to think of it, is par for the course with Rovio. Like the ‘1’ spell so-called bug, the unpredictable destructometer that always fills fast for your opponent and slow for you, and many other “bugs”.

Speaking of the ‘1’ spell bug, since there is no conceivable use case that sets the spell level to 1, and no reason to reset it across the board for all spells at once, I am not quite sure it’s a bug to begin with.

Unless it’s one of these

spell_level = 1;

instead of

spell_level += 1;

which is beyond hilarious if it slipped thru testing, and even more hilarious that it hasn’t been fixed yet…
