If you’re like me, you got bombarded with ads for this game. I downloaded it with low expectations that weren’t met. Now, this is a Ketchapp game, so it goes without saying that there were an abundance of ads that play every time your character dies. I understand that ads are needed to make money but the ads pop up just where you are trying to tap to retry, and I often tap on them by accident, opening up a whole new window. Now to talk about the gameplay. The concept itself doesn’t seem that bad. But once you start playing, you find many flaws. Since you can’t see more than about three blocks ahead of you at any given time, it is often pure luck if you can find a block small enough to break. There are also some blocks with stars that make you invincible for a few seconds, but what happens when you hit them drives me insane. It causes my phone to start buzzing in my hands for no apparent reason, and I don’t need my phone vibrating WHILE I’M PLAYING A GAME. The title of this review is “overrated because that’s exactly what it is. There are millions of downloads and many people seemed to love it. I think most of them are predisposed to like any Ketchapp game given enough constant advertising, but personally, I just find it really annoying.

I am extremely annoyed that I just paid $2.99 to “remove all ads.” I still have PLENTY of ads between rounds (it’s a short game each round which is why I felt it was worth it to get rid of the constant ads). This is such false advertising and as someone who is happy to pay for a fun app game, I would like to actually get what I’m told I was paying for... which was no ads. I’ve never had this problem with another game in the past that I actually paid for and if I knew the ads wouldn’t actually go away then I would have just kept playing the game for free. It is a fun game. The game is fun and I understood and felt it was acceptable to pay for it to be ad-free at the rate of 2.99, but once you pay you don’t even get it ad free. And sadly because it’s the AppStore, there’s not exactly a return policy for not getting what you were told to be paying for. A major rip off and I hope the developers change this although I just now read all the comments most recently posted that state the same issue so I doubt changes will be made. Wish I had read those comments prior to paying for the supposed “ad free” version.

This game looks addicting in the ads, so I decided to download it. But that was a great mistake and let me tell you why. First of all, the actual game is KILLED by ads! Every time you die you come across an ad! Remember that in this game, you will have to die a lot. I have a very high tolerance for ads, the developers need money, but they don't have to have an ad every time you die! Once I came across an ad mid-game! Second of all, it's just a small thing, there should not be blocks as high as 30 at the beginning. Please. This makes players die at the beginning if they are, say, 11, and just started. They stumble across a tunnel (there are tunnels in this game). They decide to enter the tunnel. They are stuck with a 30 and die! I think these high numbers should be lowered a bit. And last of all, the tunnels. These are death machines. Why? You may accidentally walk into a long tunnel and you end up stuck and dying from a 40. These should be saved for later, yet I see a load at the beginning. I think these should be made escapable. That is all.
