this is a great game, honestly the best merge game i've played. unfortunately, i cannot give it five stars. i used to use this game to pass the time waiting for my son's bus as it was a game i liked that could be played offline, as i have no service where we wait. yesterday afternoon, when i pulled it up as i waited, suddenly i absolutely MUST be connected to the internet to play it AT ALL. absolutely ridiculous, hate the change. let me play offline again please!
