Yes, as others have noted, the ads can be excessive. Their goal at times appears to be to show you more adds than time spent playing. I rarely go for conspiracy-type thinking but when you combine the number/length of ads (which show up when you lose) with the non-random nature at which the pieces appear, then maybe there’s something there. The thing is I know something about probability and the probability that two or more of the three pieces you draw should be the exact same is pretty low. Yes, it should happen from time to time but it shouldn’t happen almost half the time. Off the top of my head, there are at least 19 pieces, which is about a 5% chance I get a specific piece. The probability of two pieces the same is then roughly 2.5%. Why, then, do I go through stretches where every other draw has duplicate pieces? Why do I frequently get draws where the pieces are all the same shape (big L-shaped)? Of course, I’m not mentioning the times I get three pieces all the same. Which, yes, should happen on rare occasions, but not every 20-30 draws. The randomizer is not right, and that is one thing I do not tolerate in games. It leaves me with the impression it’s designed to encourage losing so they can show the ads (or get you to pay for a subscription).

This game looked so fun. I downloaded the game yesterday and immediately started playing. I played for about an hour and the ads were typical. After playing a few games I would see an ad. Closed the game thinking ‘alright cool this game seems pretty great’. I had a decently high score and I was excited to play again. Went to play it again and was immediately bombarded with ads after every single game. These were long ads I couldn’t click out of for at least 30 seconds. I get that it’s a free game and uses ads for revenue or whatever but seriously? Pulled into a false sense of typical ad interruption only to be badgered about it the after opening the game for the second time. And I’m pretty sure the game is rigged after the first experience to make it harder to beat your high score after the first time playing it. No matter what I do I can only score about half of what my high score was. This could just be me but with this type of game you would think it wouldn’t be that difficult to beat your score. I don’t need to be blasted with ads to get the point across. I hate when games do that.

Your ads are intrusive and should be illegal. I can’t listen to music or podcasts and play woody because every time an ad pops onto the screen (which is A LOT), your ads take control of my audio. The sound control on all of the ads work 20% of the time. When I try to turn off their sound, the ad opens the App Store. They interrupt my music or podcast and I have to exit the game, turn my music back on and go back to the game only to find… you guessed it, another. ad. Fix your broken UX and stop trying to bully people into overpaying for a simple puzzle game. $40 per year to play without ads!? Are you serious?!? Let’s try $2.99 forever. Actually, anyone who’s had to endure your highly intrusive, authoritative, dictatorial advertising system should never have to pay a dime. You should pay us for putting up with your garbage. Do better.
Edit: your copypasta response is just as predictable as your apathy. Your company, Athena is doing nothing to address the concerns of millions of dissatisfied customers. Great business model.
