As someone who loves and have played many games like this, I can say the game itself isn’t bad. Actually it’s quite fun. But I was swiping to find a puzzle to solve. Got a bad mid swipe. After watching that ad, I didn’t even click anything and got another one RIGHT AFTER?? That is completely unfair and unacceptable. I will be deleting this game, major waste of time. Play tricky puzzle instead, yes there’s a lot of ads but not to this extent
This grows my brain and helps me learn better
I’m no stranger to playing gameslop apps like this. But holy moly the number of ads is higher than any other game I played. Took me weeks to play all 50idh levels of this game that’s practically a malware simulator because I was so slowed down by ads. There were at least two ads on the screen at all time that you couldn’t click out of all the way and at least once there was an occasion where one ad blocked the X for a full screen ad so I had to refresh the app. And I didn’t time it exactly but I’m pretty sure a collection of full screen ads would play every 30 seconds. I spent more time ignoring ads than playing the game. Plus it makes you click “next level” “no I don’t want to watch an ad for bonus hints/time” like seven times before it lets you move on. And there’s no “retry” button on levels you won, which is frustrating because every 5th level requires you to have a certain amount of stars from previous levels. So if I don’t have enough stars I have to press home, watch an ad, click the level, click 4 more “no I don’t want to watch an ad for a hint” boxes, watch an ad, and finally get to retry the level. And it doesn’t exactly tell you what earns stars so just go fast and hope for the best. Also this app made my phone way overheat so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was actual malware. The only reason I completed all the levels was because I’m mentally ill and feel gross if I don’t finish things that I start. Don’t download this app. There are 100 identical apps out there with like 50% less ads.
Every level is a surprise — laugh, scream, and think fast to escape!
