Gun Build N Run

I want to start by saying that this game is an absolute blast! I often find myself immersed in it for several hours at a time, losing track of the clock. However, the frequency of ads is becoming overwhelming. It feels like I can barely play for two minutes without being interrupted by yet another advertisement. To make matters worse, these ads sometimes appear right in the middle of a level, disrupting the flow of the game. It's frustrating because the gameplay itself is so enjoyable, but the constant interruptions really take away from the overall experience.

I’m in no way surprised by the fact this game has ads. But what’s bad is how they go about them, essentially shoving them down your throat and punishing your interest in their game with even more ads. It wont be so bad at first, but the longer you play the more often you’ll see ads. There’s also the ways they trick or force you to watch ‘voluntary’ ads. Beat a level? You can watch an ad to boost your reward! Clicked no thanks? Here’s the ad anyway! (And you’re not getting the bonus) Clicked the button to spawn boxes to merge? How about watching an ad for that next box? No? Well sorry, but that’s not gonna work, see we’ve replaced that button and won’t switch it back until you actually watch the ad. So no way to actually progress for you!…other than watching the ad. Put your phone down for a second to scratch your nose? Here’s an ad! Not even joking about that last bit. They’ve actually coded the game so that if at any point it doesn’t detect input from you, it shows an ad. It does this in the menus, on the level completed screen, even the actual game itself. No matter what screen you are on, if you dont touch the screen for a few seconds, it’ll pop up an ad. And keep right on doing so, one after the other until you do come back. (I’ve tested it) They’ll get their ad views whether you’re watching or not! It’s actually super scummy if you think about it. Taking money from ad companies just to show their ads to the inside of someone’s pocket…

I really enjoy this game, so much to the point this is my first review ever. The no ad factor on top of the simple fun game play is extremely enjoyable. All I ask is when is the next update, I’m really looking forward to the next guns I’ve already maxed out everything I can to this point and can’t wait for what is next!
