I have NEVER won one. Had to spend millions to get one, and then going through the beanstalk the winnings per level are really low, along with the missions, it makes it very costly to get the prizes in the Beanstalk shop that do not have much value. I haven't seen the golden axe in the Shop. Wish it were.
I am glad to see the chances increased, so here is hoping. Maybe take a look at the level prizes also. I had decided never to play it again considering the cost, availability of the bean, and the shop items. I am almost through for my 3rd time (6th since the crash (had to redo them again). So, we will see. If I win a bean, I may go through again, but there again, at the cost of the beans vs the cost of the Beanstalk vs prizes, it may be cheaper to sell the bean.
In any event Ian, thanks for thinking of the Beanstalk and improving it.
..... Hmmmmm! "You climbed to the next level of the Beanstalk
You found 27,096MP along the way" That was level 23 of 25 levels. Each level has really low MP etc, compared to others. Think about it!!
