This artificial difficulty/time wasting is my only real issue with the game.
As a matter of fact, you will spend the vast majority of your time grinding for money instead of trying to progress. Money is tight, and you will find yourself grind-launching just to get enough money for a single upgrade. My one complaint about the game is how long it takes to get upgrades. As such, the game actually gets to be less about thinking about what you’re going to do and more about how lucky you get as time goes on. The longer you play, the more you will find yourself riding on special gummies more than you will find yourself body slamming into them. Some specials are only boots or money, while others require you to actively control them to get more air and speed. You will come across several types of special gummy bears during your flight-venture, each of which occurring more frequently as you upgrade their chances.
