This is a really fun game. Bite size levels, simple yet involves strategy, fun cosmetic upgrade system, and in my case, easy to compete with my wife to see who’s in the higher level. Unfortunately, around level 75 the level designs start getting recycled. Not similar, exactly the same. After level 100 you won’t see a new level design. To put this in perspective, each level generally takes about 90 seconds, sometimes less. In one case, I beat a level and then played the exact same level design 3 levels later. Also, the cosmetic upgrade system, while fun, runs out too quickly. By level 200 I had everything bought except the 3 most expensive heads. Similarly, they have a landscape upgrade that randomly changes the cosmetics every time it’s purchased, but after about the 10th time it repeats and recycles all of the older designs. Fun, but it’s best just to find one you like and stick with it. Finally, it’s worth saying that there’s a lot of ads. Clearly this game was meant to be downloaded by a large amount of people and only be played for 75 or so levels. However, they’re only 5 second or so ads, and you can just go on airplane mode if you want to skip them, so not a big deal to me. TL;DR: super fun, perfectly fits the niche “on the toilet” game, but suffers from recycled levels later on and not enough upgrades to keep you invested after about level 75. That said, I’m on level 375 and clearly still enjoying it :)

UPDATE: I fixed this glitch … (no update issued to fix the glitch). The only thing I did to make the “no thank you” option to show up constantly was turn off all SIri-related settings for the app (in settings). Don’t know if that was it, but cant argue with the result. **************** I love this game except for what appears to be a glitch regarding post-level completion ads ... I paid the money to remove ads, & this worked ... or the majority of ads ... EXCEPT ... after clearing certain levels there is a meter offering a player up to x5 extra coins ... to get the bonus, a player must watch a video ad ... This is where there is a glitch occurs ... Every so often ... there is a “no thank you” to bypass this bonus, however, this option is horribly inconsistent at showing up, forcing all players who paid for “no ads” to watch the “bonus” video ad. The developer of this app really needs to fix this glitch. After all: “no ads”, means “no ads”. Please FIX this glitch & I would be happy updating the rating of this game to 5 stars!

I purchased no ads. Still had to watch adds until I got to level 300 and something. Had the ability to use boosters. They were on timers. Would regenerate after use kool! As soon as they make them available to purchase with coins. Boosters disappear to never be seen again! Yet if I fail a level you bring up the booster purchase screen and still do not allow me to use said purchased boosters. Will someone please remove their head from their rearend and fix this. Other than the fact that there are a handful of different boards that don’t take long to begin repeat…. I love the game!!! But I’m extremely disappointed with the developers keeping up with it. I’m on level 938 I believe and because I can not use my boosters I can not proceed past this because I’m being attacked right from the onset of the level. Not nice so sad…… if these issues were not present I would without hesitation give five stars. But I can’t do that in good judgment. Two stars it is.
