So I have to give this game credit it’s super fun and yes it’s another pay to win type game. But I am tired of watching the ads for the 2x-3x speed for 4 hours. I watch the videos and then while playing the game I get enough missions done to go to the next level and every new level removes my ad speed bonuses. Please fix this. I also have a video recording of it happening so I can email the video to a dev.

The game itself is really fun, which is why I’m disappointed it doesn’t work. The ads frequently crash the game, and more often than not, they don’t actually give you the reward you’re watching them for the first time you watch it, forcing you to watch the ad multiple times. And ads that say you will earn the reward after watching a portion of it (ie 30 seconds of a 3 minute long ad), if you click the x after watching enough of the ad, it will NEVER give you the reward. It gives you the opportunity to watch a video again, and sometimes it will give you a different ad that will work, but other times it gives the same super long video and will not give the reward. I don’t know if it’s an intentional developer ploy to get more ad revenue or if it’s an ongoing glitch they can’t figure out how to fix (or don’t care enough about to fix), but it’s been that way since I started playing the game a couple months ago. I’m on level 52 for reference. It significantly reduces the amount of time I would spend playing the game. And it’s gotten to the point where I may stop playing the game altogether due to the frustration. It’s just not worth it at this point. Closing and reopening the game, updating the app, and turning my phone off and on doesn’t fix the issue.

Once you get past the first tutorial area, you are basically inundated with ads every time you do anything. They’re the type of ad that just suddenly starts playing, without any warning. With all the in-app purchases and optional ad rewards, also having forced ads just feels greedy to me. I’d gladly watch the occasional ad for a 2x income boost, or to open a chest, or whatever, but because of the forced ads, I have uninstalled this game. I didn’t get very far into the game before those ads annoyed me to the point of closing the game, but it did seem like it could be a fun little idle game.
