The overall game seems very fun and a great way to pass some time. My problem, and reason for the low rating, is the high number of ads involved. Most games seem to offer an option to make a smaller purchase and get an ad-free version of the game. I did not see this option and found the frequency of ads (at the end of almost every other 30 second game) to be too much. Fun idea, but I’m moving on.

Update: I received this response from the developer: "Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. The ads you see are what helps us keep the game completely FREE to play, at all levels. They can be skipped and closed within a few seconds once they appear. If you no longer wish to see them, we offer an ”Ad-free” premium version with any purchase made in the game. (: Best Regards, Ilyon Support."

Thanks for that info, but nowhere in the store does it actually say that. I looked the first time, because that is a common option. After receiving the response I downloaded the app again and looked to double-check. THAT IS NOT LISTED ANYWHERE. My recommendation, if you want people to not drop the app due to ads, MAKE IT CLEAR THERE IS AN OPTION.

When I get to the part where I’m out of plays the screen pops up to watch a video for another three moves so I click it. It takes me to a 30 second political commercial that there is no way to opt out of so I set my phone down and go do something else until it finishes playing. So then I click the X to get my three extra plays but it comes up where it says you can spend coins OR watch the political infomercials AGAIN! I’ll wait for a response before I delete the game. Please have an “ad choices” button and an X that appears in the first 5 seconds to not have to watch them. Also, fix the glitch where you get your plays after being forced to watch them.

Also I do agree that the choice of bubbles that appear when there is NO way to get the others in that color is ridiculous.

Otherwise it’s a good game. I’m in the 2300 levels I think.

RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER:
There is NO button to opt out of the political ads and most of the other ads!! That’s why I reviewed it. At the end of watching the political ad it WILL NOT GIVE ME THE EXTRA LIVES I WAITED FOR. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. I’m not offended by the ads except that I’m playing a game every now and then to clear my head and relax. I’m not wanting to watch politics. You can’t get on social media without seeing it and now games. I’m going to delete this game. It was fun but I think it’s at the end of the road for it.

I really enjoy this game — probably gets more use than any other on my phone for a year now. I paid for the ad free version within the first week of playing. However the latest update has removed the ability to buy more 10 balls for a 13 coins at the end of each level, and the ‘bonus’ at the end of some levels is 3 coins where it was 5, the option to get five extra balls no longer includes the fireball and costs more coins ... a lot of small tweaks like the ones mentioned that decrease enjoyment and dramatically increase your desire to spend actual money buying coins from the developer. Previously it was normal that I could save up 50 coins and splurge on a hard level, now the bonus coins are fewer and farther between while the costs are higher. I get that the developers need to pay rent, that’s why I paid for the ad free version. The expectation that I need to frequently purchase coins to complete levels is too far.
