this game gets so much flack but its actually pretty unique and inventive. you get at least 1 free play per day to earn badges, and you will only end up actually using a few of them at a time. sure, microtransactions suck, but if you honestly feel compelled enough to spend $1 to try and get a badge you really want, well, its on you. and at $1 for 5 plays this game is actually cheaper than a real life claw machine, and nobody ever wins at those things
