Really Good, needs a few changes.

First of all, love the game. Very fun and addictive. The dogs are all super cute. Theres just a few issues I have:

1. Not sure who else has this problem, but this game crashes on me. A lot. Like probably once every 10-15 minutes. This is very annoying but luckily I rarely lose any progress unless Im in the middle of a battle.

2. I get that their goal is to get you to spend real money on the game. Im not stupid. But the rare dogs are just impossible to get. I have wasted at least 30 bread trying to get the bull terrier alone, which is only in the 2nd world. The 9% chance should go up once you get lower than a certain amount of health. When I have the dog down to 5 health and its still only a 9% chance, thats just annoying. "Common" dogs shouldnt be 59% chance even at half health when "rare" ones are 9% at 5 health. I dont want to pay $2 each time just to get the "boss" dog at the end of each stage.

3. Some feral dogs are just ridiculous in the amount of damage they do, compared to what damage they do once theyre "breaded". If the dog does 700+ damage to my pups in the wild it should continue to do 700+ damage once caught. My dogs with higher attack do less damage to feral dogs with lower attack than them, even at 2+ levels higher than the feral. That just doesnt make any sense.

4. For some reason player battles dont work for me. Every time I select this feature the app crashes.

Now that Ive gotten the issues out of the way, I will say what features I was pleased with:

1. Most "free" games with in-app purchases have ridiculous wait times if youre playing for free. Granted right now my dogs are only level 26, but it only takes about 10 minutes for them to completely recharge health. Im used to games that will take hours to do similar things, so bread puppies was a breath of fresh air. And the wait times for bread arent bad either, if youre playing the game it usually goes by fast. So none of the wait times really cripple the gameplay.

2. It is, again, for a "free" game with in-app purchases, fairly easy to get the resources you need to move forward without shelling out a bunch of money, or any money at all. I am on the 4th world right now and its getting harder to keep up with the resources I need to progress, which I expected, but its still doable.

3. Graphics are cute. Really cute. Really really cute. And the concept is adorable.

4. Yes, there are ads, but none of them are very intrusive. They usually come up right when you start the game and thats it. Sometimes they show up at the bottom of the screen, but they dont obstruct gameplay like Ive seen in other games. The only time ads became a problem was when a video ad came up with no apparent way to close it, right I n the middle of a battle. I tried for about 2 minutes before just giving up and restarting the game, but it hasnt happened again, so honestly its not that big of a deal to me.

All in all, a very good game. Ill see if progressing further in the game makes it nearly impossible to get resources, but Im crossing my fingers that it doesnt.
