Space Frontier 2

Nifty fun little time waster with an element of precision timing, but that mechanic has stayed the same so far. I hope they explore with more mechanics further on maybe change up the very monotone tapping. The game is super fun despite my grievances. I download mobile games in bundles meaning I buy a couple games all at once and try them one by one. Out of the recent swath I have to say I’ve spent the most time with this one and it’s quite enjoyable if not routine. My play sessions don’t tend to last past 15 minutes at the high end but that’s okay because it serves well as a quick app to play while on the train or on the toilet. The only thing that was really annoying and if it hadn’t been present I wouldn’t have had thought to right a review, but I believe it’s something the devs should really look into, because it’s not fun. Advertisements in mobile games aren’t ever fun no consumer would ask for a game to have ads but they are very tolerable because it’s understood the developers have to make money if they are releasing a free game. Thus I don't mind ads to much and sure know people who despise them but they aren’t much of a bother until they are! Ads regularly appear suddenly while my space ship is in the air. This bars me free tapping and my ship blows up every time the most recent occurrence 22 astronauts perished in the catastrophe. It also seems like a manipulative way to get consumers to tap on the adds as they are expecting to tap to fly their space ship and suddenly an ad pops up and you tap that not having a moment to realize or refrain. That just seems dirty but I don’t want to make assumptions I hope it’s just a problem you are unaware of or are working on fixing at the moment :)

I think its a cute app honestly, i love these kind of games and its art style is great. Its just the ads that gets to me.. after first downloading the app the ads were so annoying after every launch i broke down and just bought it for $2.99. (which is kinda asking a lot for an already free game.) yet after that purchase ads are still relevant to the game. I mean.. don't advertise “ad free.” If you aren't going to completely get rid of the ads. Its worse enough that the game keeps advertising its “elite membership for $7.99 a month deal” every few launches of your spaceship (that still feels like an ad to me and every time it appears the game glitches and I'm stuck in a screen i cant get out of.) I get that the ads aren't as forced after purchase, it at least becomes my choice to click them if i want more astronauts or ship aesthetics but come on its a bit ridiculous, the game just goes by slower if you don't. anyone else wanting to get the game ads free i recommend just deleting it and finding something else, its not worth it. I haven't seen an ad trap this bad in an app before and they still have the audacity to ask for more money. At least give the players something like more spaceship aesthetics for buying the app. Fun game but it’ll make you feel like an abused house wife that keeps coming back to her gorgeous husband that wont shut the hell up about other husbands in the area.. but for $7.99 a month he’ll do the dishes!!

FIRSTLY!!! Thank you Ketchapp for not pounding us with ads and the ol’ close an ad just to have to close a still frame ad of the same advertisement. Lil’ shady with that timed ad at the opening of the game. You know, the one where you think you aren’t going to get an ad but you’ve timed it so that when I think that there is no ad and go to click my screen to start the game it is magically there for me to click and takes me to the App Store. You know, that shady ad. BUT!!!........ What an awesome game. No real ad bombardment, smooth gameplay after the updates, loads of levels and good grinding. I reached “Galactic Emperor” status and hit 1000 on each level with a bit of an anti-climactic ending to this this game, as in no ending. You’re just done deploying. Really fun though. Took a while too, so it stayed interesting. A lot of grinding. Loved the first one and the second was better. Well done Mr. and Ms. Developers.
