I always understood that the higher tiers of Extermination required damn near max'd hangars to get platinum across the levels, and I was always ok with that. Generally, I could usually manage plat, plat, gold, silv, silv across the 5 levels, with the right hangars suited for the 2 stage ones, and some strategic brains in play (Scotch not withstanding).
After the last update, something wasnt quite right compared to previous versions. I was getting consistent numbers in Level 5, too consistent given various strategic approaches I attempted. I had a good feel what was needed and where, and swapped some stuff around in my 2 hangars to even the odds. Then something happened that initiated a Spock eyebrow raise, I was 3 kills away from making 100 for silver on level 5 stage 2, I had my Titan left and on my last bot with 1:20 on the clock, then the level suddenly ended like all was normal and I had run out of things to spawn. My son confirmed what I saw, more than minute left. 3 kills would have been a cake-walk at that point.
WT'Frak.
I attempted the level again several times and it was like a brick wall had been put in place after that last attempt, numbers were low on stage 2, and always within a narrow envelope. Statistically impossible given previous results. I asked my Son to watch along, note the time and numbers of kills as I blew critters away. After 2 runs, my Son noted that tick kills were not being counted all the time, and that the clock seemed to speed up at certain points. A third and final run, with a digital timer in hand, and keen eyes, we discovered 2 things for sure. In one case, there were 8 ticks I hustled into 1 spot with my Skyros in bowling ball mode, and F bombed them: 64 kills on the board, 8 destroyed instantly, kill score now 68. My math is decent still, and 64+8 is not 68, granted, I did not attempt any advanced forms of Algebra or Calculus to wiggle 64+8 into 68, I assumed from the get-go it wouldnt work anyways... my 6th grade Son confirmed it is indeed not 68, and never will be (go figure). The second confirmed issue: With 1 minute left on the match clock, my Son hit the timer set for 1 min. As I approached the apparently magic number of 84, the match clock sped up. When the match ended, the match clock hit zero, the digital timer showed 7 to 8 seconds left.
「fluffernutter」 you Pigsonic. Youre a bunch of 「fluffernutter」ing 「multiple bum-bums」.
I uninstalled the game. I'm done.

Its cheating pure and simple. They immediately spam with offers after those levels, so I cant attribute it to anything 'honest'. Its all been too much of a hustle lately, getting worse by the day/week/update. Given Pigsonics history on manipulating everything and everybody as a matter of routine, the M.E.S.S. knows no bounds any more. A good part if the game seems akin to illegal online gambling IMHO, and should probably be investigated.
