Gummy

Gummy is not so much fun to play anymore. I have sent dozens of helps to friends, but I am not receiving any in return. I receive a little flash at the bottom of my screen, but nothing shows up. Now I am completely stymied with the game. I have to spend money or I cant progress. Maybe this is what it. Is all about?
