Anyone play Zen Match

[runsmidgeOMG]

Just need to check something !

Zen Match... it's a card matching game on my phone that's hugely addictive and I can waste a lot of time on it (yes IBU if it were that type of thread 🤣)

Recently when I've been playing I seem to be getting rewards for ranking high and suddenly seems to the throwing gold coins at me left right and centre to the extent that I've not needed to "top up" myself in a long time. I'm pretty sure I'm not paying for this (no money taken from account as it previously would and it's a "reward you claim" rather than buy) but I wanted to check if other game users have had the same as it seems very un "game like" to make it so they're essentially not making money from me any more ? And I keep getting it into my head that they're charging me some how and I'll be slapped with a huge bill !
Like today I hadn't had any gold tiles and still ranked top, boom 120 coins!

If you've got this far about me questioning a pointless game then I thank you ! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've had this concern with free games. I don't know the answer so I'll wait and see if anyone does!

@dudsville it's that old saying "when somethings too good to be true it probably is "that's going around my head !!

How many adverts are there?

How many adverts are there?

There's not... I erm paid early on to have them removed

What does it say on the settings page? If you look under phone settings > that specific app

That's where you'll find further info.

How did you pay to remove ads?

Ooh I'll check this thank you ! It gave me the option to remove ads and just pay a one off fee, I think a few games do this- we're talking months ago now. I'd occasionally paid to top up in the early stages BUT it's not been necessary for a few weeks now

I've had it happen to me a few times. I haven't paid anything to the game, so it's unlikely to land you with a bill. I don't understand the little championships and mostly only play the daily puzzle so most of the time I should be nowhere near getting one of the prizes. I also dislike the gold tiles thing because it messes up my crystal count for decorating by adding 5 which means I have to play a single game which then throws out the "continue/home" at the end of a game just to get back to having an even number of crystals or keep playing until I win another odd number of crystals.

This is reassuring thank you ! I don't really do the decorating part (got like 1300 of those blue flower things)

I have that too. I think from reading reviews people were annoyed that certain levels seem unpassable without coins so maybe they've decided to be a bit more generous?

Oooh I can quite believe that !! Hence why I topped myself up a little in the early stages !! Bloody addictive game !

Yeah, it's actually not very Zen at all 🤦‍♀️
