    My biggest problem with peggle blast from a "have not played it but seen people play it on youtube" perspective is that when you hit the last orange peg, there's no fanfare. It just zooms in and does the drumroll, then nothing. No ode to joy, no custom classical music for each character just "dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun... music note"

    What sucks about Peggle Blast is that horrible app design aside, it has some great music, visuals and characters. I loved the new designs for the older peggle masters and the new ones were equally as charming, and that was really the only thing that pushed me to keep playing through the game. It was like a cartoon with a wonderful animation budget but horrible writing...or gameplay in this case.

    I wouldn't say this game is an abomination for its mobile gating schemes, as scummy as they are. It's an abomination because compared to the original Peggle it's a soulless, rushed, unpolished pile of garbage. The amount of polish in the original Peggle is insane, from the physics, the framerate, the mechanics, the theatrics, the particle effects, the sound design, the challenges, etc. It's night and day that the original had an extreme amount of polish and Blast was cobbled together with the lowest effort possible, mobile shovelware with a Peggle veneer.

    I think they did a great job with the game, the long vertical format makes it a perfect phone game and its much harder and challenging than the other versions and the main reason people get frustrated with the difficulty, lives, and egg drops is because people are conditioned nowerdays for games to be stupidly easy, early arcade games were also hard so players would insert more coins, so its the same thing here, but the trick is to get good and figure out which character is best to use for specific levels... harder is better ,so stop crying about it and get good i say, theres a "knack" to every level if you figure it out and the difficulty is nothing compared to games like High level pac-man, Ninja gaiden, battletoads etc so seeing people crying about this game being too hard is hilarious, I got 3 stars on every level, sure it was tough in places and had to wait a few times for lives to regenerate but so what its free! and i had a great time playing it and didnt need to spend a dime.

    • @tracyblanchard7663
      @tracyblanchard7663 3 роки тому

      Eh, harder isn't better all the time, especially not for an entry in a classic series. While some may appreciate the challenge, many previous fans of the series would notice the aspects which make the game harder for the sake of it, not to make the game more fun and rewarding to play. The easiest example is the Free Ball pot design, which minimizes the amount of lucky bounces you can get by removing the slopes and reducing its speed across the screen. Being harder by the virtue of gutting a fun feature can already sour an experience, and knowing it is likely to have you buy into the stamina system doesn't make things better.

    • @Rockysbeats
      @Rockysbeats 3 роки тому

      @@tracyblanchard7663 its subjective ;) for example i found the slopes on the pot made the game way too easy like having stabilisers on a bike so what is gutting a fun feature to you is a difficulty balancing improvement to me so even though changes like that could of been intended just to make it harder to make more money it can also be seen as an improvement, like wiggled-dee doo darr nahh mean

For fans of the series, the difficulty's not the fun part.
