I really wanted to like Spades.
The fact that I can choose levels of difficulty, select or mute specific features, and manipulate some aesthetics is nice.
But two of Spades ’s key characteristics annoy me to the point of deleting Spades and finding another that does not have these characteristics.
First, the incessant presentation of ads is craven in the extreme. I get that developers want to make money, and I support that. But to make them a life-long feature is beyond annoying. Build in a fade so they fade and disappear after, say, 100 or even 200 plays. Have some respect for those who support you.
Second, the ads on my version are sexist, misogynistic, culturally offensive, and utterly inappropriate. What on earth were developers thinking? If you can’t do better than this, you need to get into a different line of work.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST PURCHASING Spades.
