Brick Factory!

The bricks stop spinning and say no more bins can be filled while there are still bricks that can fill stuff on the board and the game makes you watch ads to open more brick boxes after even when you have other power ups that can still help the game. If they fixed this is would be fun.

I really wanted to like this game because it’s actually fun. The gameplay itself is enjoyable, and I would have happily kept playing. Unfortunately, the ads have become completely excessive. I understand free games need advertising, but this goes way beyond that. You have to watch an ad before a level, another after the level, and then three or four more during the level itself. The worst part is that ads have actually been built into the gameplay. There are points where you can’t even see the bricks you need unless you watch another ad. At that point, you’re not just interrupting the game with ads—you’re making ads a required part of playing the game. The game offers an option to remove ads for $9.99, but after seeing how aggressively they’re forcing ads into the gameplay, I don’t trust that paying would actually solve the problem. It’s disappointing because underneath all of this is a genuinely fun game that’s been ruined by excessive monetization.

I love this game. I’ve been addicted for weeks. I just got to a point where there are time bombs. The one reason I loved this game was because it wasn’t timed. I’m going to delete the app and reinstall so that I can start over without being timed.
