Shape Escape!

I think that this is a really fun game. The concept is cool and the puzzles are challenging in a fun way. As the game progresses, the levels get harder and harder and eventually get super challenging, which I think is cool. However, I feel like the mechanics are a bit buggy. For example, I will jump on a moving bit the way the game directs me to and then it’ll just fling me off the map. Certain levels also start really fast early on, so you don’t expect it at all. What’s nice is that the game will allow you to move past levels you get stuck on, but still. I’m not fond that it sometimes won’t register my tapping on the screen to jump, or make me replay levels because it didn’t save. But those are the only reasons why this game lost a star. Overall, this is a really fun puzzle game I’d recommend for others to play.

I think that the idea of this game is amazing, but it is very annoying. The first few levels are ok, but the later levels are annoying: there’s a spike, so you jump. And then you hit a spike on the ceiling. Also, half the time the ball doesn’t jump when you tap. There are also WAY to many ads, most of them being videos that happen almost every three deaths. Oh, and by the way, NOBODY will cough up 2 dollars to remove ads on a cheap grab for money that you’re just going to delete within the next hour anyways. I’m sick of dying the second I start the level. Also, when you beat level 50, it takes you to a black space. Skip that level, and it puts you in level 21. In short, this is a glitchy, low quality, cheap grab for cash. The levels get too hard too fast, mind you that there are only 50. There are also only three controls: tap to jump, do nothing or tap to die, and do anything or nothing to play an ad. To improve this I would recommend less ads, more levels, less spikes that you die on mid-jump, and more features, like endless mode.

The concept of the game itself is very addicting - it feels similar to a Ketchapp game to be perfectly honest. However, the idea that the game must show a video advertisement after every 5 deaths is extremely annoying. Sure, the thought that it might prompt people to buy the No-Ads purchase for $2.99 is ok, but in actuality I cannot play enough of the game itself consistently to decide if it’s worth it. Ultimately this game suffered from what Drop the Ball did for a long time - video ads constantly. Now, that game has reduced the number of ads it shows as well as making the death ads non-video most of the time. This makes it fun to play, and if I choose to get more perks, I can watch a video ad instead. All in all, I would recommend cutting down on the number of ads you show. Sure, they bring revenue, but it’s offset by people like me who probably will end up deleting the game when cleaning up apps unless you make some changes that allow me to play the game for lengths of time without constantly being interrupted, perhaps having an ad every 10-11 deaths or so. I believe you may get a lot more people to play that way and, as a result, a lot more in-app purchases
