I get it. You get a game for free, put up with ads. Everybody has to eat. I’ve been dying for a design game that wasn’t a match-3, so I figured this game would be my new go-to. So I went ahead and paid for “no ads” bc I figured I’d be playing it a lot. Well, just got an ad. Must be one of those 24-hour no ad things instead of a permanent no-ad detox. Ok, annoying, but whatever.
No, the final nail in the coffin was when I realized literally every design choice gives you this pick three combo: standard boring choice, choice locked behind special currency (play about 30 levels to get enough for one choice), or choice locked behind ad. Bonus nails: 1) no option to go back and change designs once done, and 2) most actions are filler, things like “see who’s at the door” and “pick up mystery object.”
It’s the same model as most mobile games, but this one made me feel even more like a walking wallet than most. Gate after gate after gate, and most options weren’t to my taste anyhow. I don’t care to pay a little extra for “free” games, and with the amount of reviews this game has they won’t be missing my money, but I’ll spend mine elsewhere.
