@Starfruity, whereas Dark Ages, with the exception of Evil Potions II, could be beaten without ANY POWER-UPS AT ALL with only plants obtained in Dark Ages or before AE Day 8, and no boosts, prems, etc. The fact you have to use power-ups to beat it like that shows that it's ridiculously hard.

@Moonshan, the levels should get harder and harder, yes, but not to the point where conveyor-belt levels require luck to win, and not to the point where the game stops being fun. Yes the levels can be beaten with one or two strategies, but ask yourself this: DO YOU HAVE FUN?

You have to use walkthroughs, get lucky with the perfect strategy, or take dozens of attempts and hours to beat each level. I mean seriously, I'd rather play Crypt Keeper from BTD5 on Impoppable Difficulty than play Big Wave Beach Day 28.
