This is a really cute/fun game.. but I agree with the majority here, there are way too many ads within this game and eventually it becomes more frustrating than it is fun. I’m not suggesting the ads be removed entirely, that wouldn’t be fair on you Dev’s but if you expect people to stay I definitely suggest a reduction. At the end of each level you have an option to move forward to the next one (or so I thought!) by clicking a button where you earn 100 coins or you can click on a button that will give you 300 coins if you watch an ad. My question is why give us that option if it takes us to an advert no matter what button we choose? You might as well choose the button that gives you 300 coins bc you’ll be watching an ad regardless of your choice.. there is NO moving forward to a next level until you are forced to view an ad no matter what! 🤷🏻♀️ And did I read correctly? It cost $2.99 “per week” to have all those ads removed??? This game is fun and cute but it’s not that good where I’d pay a weekly price to remove ads.. a one time fee maybe but no way would I pay weekly. No offense but I have enough frustrations in my life without adding onto it. I was looking for a relaxing/casual game which this would have been perfect without all the wait time watching a bunch of ads. Maybe I’ll try again later but for now I’m choosing to delete.
I love this game! it cured my boredom for a few days until I finished the whole game! I love how you can dress him up a little! I got this game after I finished snail Bob 2 and the levels have the perfect amount of everything. Also you did a grate job at hiding the stars! it takes me about a minute to find each one. I hope you release new levels soon!
I downloaded this game for my 4 year old. He loved playing it and it was easy to control for a 4 year old. What was bothering me was that constant ads. I decided to buy ad free so he could continuously play it without having mom and dad having to navigate through commercials for him. After paying for it, I was shocked to see commercials were still coming up. I took a look at it and the only way he could continue playing was either buy more hearts in the shop or watch a 30 second commercial for 2 lives (which would go fast for a 4 year old). This is very misleading. When you pay for the game, it says ad free + hearts + coins. What it should say is hearts + coins, because the hearts are needed to continue lives. For the game play of a 4 year old, I would have given this app 5 stars. For being misleading and still having to watch ads after paying for it, I would give it 0 stars if I could. I want my money back!!!!
In this sequel, a hurricane takes Snail Bob and his friends to a desert island. Now Bob needs to explore the island, learn all its secrets, and build...
