F for this amazing mobile game 😢

A shame the update that was about "changing things up" would've been the very last. Over a year of waiting for changes only to be told by King "We're shutting it down". So much wasted potential

The worst part is that:
1) Fixing it was pretty easy. Just take away the crafting mechanics, rearrange the miniboss, boss, crate breaking, enemy killing, wumpa gethering, get to the end and time trial levels into a straight line a la Candy Crush and let people reach the end and be okay with it. It was a pretty nice time killer, and the younger audience like my nephew loved it. They didn't need to turn it into lost media.
2) King was already fixing it before the shutdown. I visited it until the servers closed and they were changing the collection runs to endless runner (See: the online races) to prevent the waiting for material respawns, and removing the silo limits. Also added other power-ups that were a good change of pace for the overall experience.

They literally didn't give them a chance.

And the sad part is that the game wasn't even finished before this "update" came to be. Sure it was an "update as we go" kind of game, but still. Once I unlocked and upgraded everything, along with cosmetics, there really wasn't much to do and the constant limited time events that would always replay gave me less of an incentive to play. Plus, I had beaten all bosses, so there really weren't any new challenges I hadn't already experienced. As a big Crash fan, this was a major disappointment
