1. The total build time is much shorter leading to much less creative builds overall
2. The flying in the mall removes all time pressure while in the mall
2.1. Some people like flying in the mall, but part of the fun of build n buy was that you had to haul but to get to where you needed to be, or just not use that block
3. The mall is now infinite in time, removing even more creativity from the builds, instead of trying to work with what you have, you can now just go in and find what you need.
4. You can now buy anything you want from the mall, removing the main driver behind creative builds
5. The 50% chance for special events is also terrible now, where before ot would have been pretty ok, because now your build is basically toast if the game decides to send you one, further discouraging creativity
Overall this update has moved Build n Buy from a solid A tier game to a low D tier game.
The best way to fix this would be to revert everything, and buff the speed boosts in the mall to last longer, and MAYBE add another coin per round.
If you really want to keep this make it a speed build subgame of Build and Buy, because as it is right now its just Build.
