It was Highly addictive for me. In the beginning it was enough to wait for lives to respawn for free . . But after a while I ended up too involved in gameplay and began spending money buying lives and power ups. Which I suspect was the game makers aim in the first place. But I essentially Wasted a lot of money just to play a silly game. Jokes on me I suppose. From now on I'll stick to games that don't have money traps.
