Paying for no ads only removes ad pop ups. it does not disable video ads in reward screens. It feels pretty scammy. From the developer “ Rewarded videos help us keep a balanced prize system in the game as these ads offer our players free gifts and rewards in return for watching an ad." This does not justify the purchase of “remove ad’s” not removing ads from the app nor is your response really truth. You get paid for video ads, plain and simple, you are just getting additional money from players for watching ads, there is no pvp so there is not legitimate balancing from those rewards. I get it, you are trying to be profitable, this is not the way to do it. Use engaging features to entice players to purchase add ons. If you are resorting to ads for your main rev you are doing something wrong with your meta mechanics. Examples of possible solutions: A board clear challenge, a board fill challenge, match three color to clear, flowers within a flower inception style, timed challenge, etc. These are examples new challenges types that would offer more friction to a player and they might need help through purchases to finish. I hope you can find another way to get rev without scamming people who like your game.
Each round you have three pieces to place. When you can no longer place a piece the game ends. The problem is that after you place your second piece the game doesn’t want until the petals move before counting it as a lost game. Even when moving the petals would have allowed you to place the third piece. And frankly, $8 for ad removal is far too much. Even when you pay the ad removal, you still get pop ups during the game offering more Luke warm rewards for watching more ads. You do not get enough rewards without paying for them. Extra lives should be rewarded at point threshold. You get only one opportunity to continue a game and that close only given for watching another ad. The worst of it is that it’s a super fun game! I love the puzzles and find it quite relaxing to play… until another ad.
I downloaded the game and liked enough to pay for the no ads special, that had a few little freebies (coins and boosters). It had a “special price “ of 7.99. When I paid it took out 22 bucks! That’s ridiculous and completely unethical. Pulling a bait and switch on players so you can make a profit…buyer beware!!!! I gave it a 5 star so it would show up for others to see my post and not get buried….
