Draw Bridge - Puzzle Game

So, this game is fun. And it can get addicting. I do find myself playing it pretty frequently. I gave it a 3 and am going to actually delete it though. It doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot of “challenge” to it after a certain point and it gets somewhat redundant. The one reason that I just can’t do it any more is that there are too many ads. Like you watch way more ads than you even play the game. I honestly would have probably paid to own the game as opposed to having all the ads but there is no ad-free option to buy. It’s so frustrating.

The concept seems entertaining, an ok way to waste some time, but they will NOT let you play unless you are online, either with wifi or network (personally, I will disable cell data on all apps that want to spam me with ads, and then turn off wifi when I want to play them, because then you can play uninterrupted, and only view ads when I need a power up or some bonus like that by turning wifi back on, getting the perk, and then turning it back off, just don’t forget to turn wifi back on when you use other apps that use a lot of data if you have a limited data plan!) but this app REQUIRES you be online to play it! Is it because you can play against others online? Nope. It is to provide you with new challenging and novel levels to play? Nope. It’s so that can put ads in front of your face every 10 seconds. The levels never get more challenging that it would stump a 4 year old, let alone somebody with an IQ higher than their shoe size. This is just a blatant money grab by spamming anyone dumb enough to play it with ads. If a game is good, I will gladly pay to play without ads, but this game isn’t even well animated. Find another game.

The game is obviously ambitious in implementing a real-time sketching engine on top of a physics simulation engine. But it seems that it’s managing it’s memory requirements, cpu time, and ADs insertion into the game Very Poorly. The game starts performing slowly after the first Ad is played and continues to slow down and intermittently freezes as you progress. Until finally, within 3 to 4 levels it comes to a halt and freezes the iPad with it until iOS preempts it. You then need to close it and restart the game again. I am speculating there is a serious memory leak and run away processes running in the background which aren’t cleaned up and quickly makes the system non-responsive Unless the developer fixes this problem, the game is very frustrating and it leaves you annoyed. I look forward to a major update
