I've been playing Time Princess for over two years now.
If I had rated this game shortly after I started playing it, I would be giving it five stars. As it is, its overall downgrade and outright greed have turned it more into something I play out of habit than a game that I actually enjoy.
Time Princess has, in my opinion, comitted one unforgivable sin: it changed its stablished rules to get more money. Once upon a time, the stories had two types of clothing sets: those won in a RNG, and those earned by completing story chapters. Now, they've changed it so that some of the sets you should complete by playing the story, one of the items is obtained in the RNG. That, TP, is cheating.
Once upon a time, you got a daily mission, called the Phantom Mirror, in which you got to recreate an outfit from one of the stories you play, and got points depending on how well you did it. Now it's been updated, and you might get "puppets" from stories you've played, or not. Since it runs in a level system and are not refreshed daily, and since you can now get puppets from stories you haven't played, you can easily get stuck (and thus, not earn any prizes) indeterminedly until you complete the outfit. That, TP, is cheating.
Outfits get more and more expensive. P2W events that used to cost less than USD50. Now, most of them cost at least USD100. That's an INSANE ammount of money for an outfit made out of pixels.
There's no way new players are getting hooked as they used to. There's no way your F2P players aren't getting tired. There's no way your whales aren't going to notice how much you're charging them for PIXELS.
