Ads have gotten incredibly obnoxious. Just this morning, I got stuck in an ad and could not move out of it, closed the game, opened it again, and the same thing happened. I was not able to play the game. Ads force you to click something rather than just running down a timer. They pop up constantly. Really bad user experience that has diminished my interaction with the game. Ironically I’m watching fewer ads as a result. The game itself is awesome. This would have been my second round with it.
I really like the colorful grapgics in this game as well as the trippy, weird, fun, sound effects. you can play free for a long time. the collectible aliens are adorable. In my previous years this game makes me have the urge to get my black light and strobe out. Totally cool. and if youre interuppted it saves your place, which is not a given in theese ios games, so I thought that was a plus. Cheap, challenging, nice to look at. You cant go wrong get this.
I’ve been playing this game for years, it’s so therapeutic. Ads aren’t annoying and often they just advertise their other games, which are very cute games. Love love love Alien Hive. Great unique match 3 puzzle game. Quite difficult but very rewarding.
