I started this game and thought it was cool. Five minutes in and I get ads every minute. Even the smallest rewards require an ad, I’ve spent more time watching ads than playing the actual game. It’s actually insane but I gave you guys the benefit of the doubt, I mean people have to make a profit somehow, whatever. So I went and bought the no ad bundle for $10, an insane price considering naturally it’s usually $5 or under, again, gave the benefit of the doubt. And I’m going through the game, decent enough and I get an Ad? You’re telling me I paid $10 to get rid of ads but it’s only forced ads??? So I can’t go through the actual gameplay without using up ad coupons and once I’m out of those I have to either buy more or play with the consistent ads. I gave you money, the least you can do is make the game enjoyable by getting rid of the ads when I pay for that. It’s stupid and screams greedy.
The game is great. Really enjoy passing the time while playing. The issue lays with acquiring all the movement speed buffs, and melee speed buffs that the game has a hard time keeping up. The game has a hard time trying to render the trees or even allow you to upgrade when the lag starts. Game will crash depending on how bad the lag becomes. I would give this game 5 stars when this issue gets resolved.
I like your art and the concept of the game, but it has a big bug right at the beginning, maybe from you recent update. First off, it uses the Einstein Avatar to start and doesn’t change when you purchase a different character. And second, it will put you in an infinite loop during level one where either it stops progression of the waves and the golden bar at the top, or it lets you get through the entire level and then just keeps you there. I ran around the entire map thinking maybe I was missing something and cut down every single tree, even getting all the ones in the black cloud around the edge very slowly. It stopped sending waves of monsters and you just ran around forever while the mines slowly added gold. I had to go to settings both times and use the exit button, which then said I was defeated, but completed wave 5/5 and got both hidden collectibles. There’s a small red home button maybe? That showed up at the bottom of my screen, but you can’t get to it, or click it or press and hold. It basically doesn’t do anything. And then when you get back to the home page, you are still trapped on level 1 as everything else is locked. Hope the details help and you can get it fixed right away, I’m looking forward to playing the game, but right now it’s just a bummer and with how many Ads I watched to try and level up fast, I feel slightly cheated.
