Be The Judge - Ethical Puzzles Reviews

The developers don’t care about their users reviews because if they did they would have made changes after a year of receiving bad reviews. Literally to anyone who’s thinking of downloading this game please understand that everyone who has left a low review are not exaggerating. You see more ads than the game. Literally an ad shows every second no exaggeration whatsoever. I understand that this is the way you guys make money but it’s way too excessive. If many developers cared they would understand that the whole purpose of many people playing their games/ apps are to relax their mind. These games genuinely helps people who suffers from anxiety, ADHD, autism or any other disorders, but unfortunately these games with excessive ads may trigger them. So again just to forewarn anyone who’s contemplating on downloading this game save your time and storage look for something else. Also developers don’t waste your time responding to my review I don’t care to hear your false proclaim of how you’ll try to work on the ads and blah blah. Your reviews over the pass year are all the same and yet nothing still hasn’t changed.

Ok, now I’m mad. I just posted my review and I looked at the Developer’s Response to others complaining about Ads. Really? Yes, all free games have Ads, fine. This game’s Ads are obnoxious, and you have to watch them to play a pointless, flawed game. Additionally, there are other ways of incorporating Ads. Look at HQ Trivia. They gave out $5000 a night for over a year, and they are doing it once a week while they create new features. Ads completely voluntary. How do they make money? VIP mode that is briefly mentioned for 15 seconds a game and Daily Challenge. This Daily Challenge gives you coins to buy Powerups and do better in the game. COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY, with Ads spread throughout THIS MODE for coins. So, the Ad-free mode is equivalent to HQ’s VIP Mode. Now, make all advertisements be voluntary in a side mode, and maybe some kids will like it. But, it is a very small target audience to begin with. If HQ can afford to give away that much money, this horrid game can do fewer advertisements.

It’s clear this game only exists to make money from ads. Games need ads to make money but they shouldn’t exist for the sake of ad revenue. Furthermore, the options for judgement make no sense regarding many of the situations and provide no clarification for what the images even mean. The only fun is finding out why an event occurred in the game, and even then most options are so absurd or uninteresting. This game is such a waste of time.

In regards to the scoring/rewards for the game, there is no clear rationale. They do not clarify when you do not get full points. It is a closed minded game, with zero understanding of what judgement means. If this game never appeared in my feed, I would be better for it. I highly recommend that you don’t waste your time.

Lots of adds in the game to the point where it’s really hard to just play one level. Most of the levels have really bad choices where they don’t make sense even if it seems right. Also there was one thing I wanted to say about a comment in the 1 star section, the elevator one with the woman and two men isn’t them fainting from her 🐱, it’s them fainting from a fart as you can tell by the fart noise it plays when you look around for why they fainted. Anyways will probably uninstall, it’s really annoying to see so many ads. I will leave one good thing about it though, it has a good concept and is a great idea of a game, if it were made a lot more better I’m sure more people would enjoy it.

It’s a really fun concept honestly. I enjoyed what I did play, but stopped after 5 levels because the ads were so unbelievably obnoxious. I’m a developer myself so I understand the need for ads to make money. The key is making them worth it. For such short levels an ad after every level kills the game completely. Think of it this way, I played 5 levels and you got 5 ads out if me. Okay, but then I deleted it, and I likely won’t play it again. If you had only placed ads every 3-5 levels I guarantee I would’ve played many more levels, and maybe even the whole game over multiple sessions. Exponential improvement.

Before I download a game I always look at the reviews. When I looked at these reviews I saw a lot of complaints about ads, but because it had a 4.6 rating I decided to download it. And after play it for a couple of days l that it’s not the game that has the ads it’s the phone overall this game is fun

Just the most ridiculous thing in games nowadays. I get it, it makes you money but it’s annoying for new players trying out when there’s an ad after every situation as it seems. So for the the 3 minutes I had this game. It was alright. But I won’t be forced to pay for ads to be removed unless I like the game, and at the same time I won’t be waiting for these double overlayed videos to finish to continue playing. The ads take long her to get through than the level itself. And the ads nowadays are a total waste as you have to wait for the ad to be done and then wait AGAIN to X out.

The game is extremely ad heavy, so I turn on airplane mode so I don’t have any pop up. But the choices and pictures are 👎. Half the time the pictures that are part of ur 3 choices never make sense, and there is no description that explains each choice. So it’s very annoying and confusing.

If they added descriptions attached to each choice, then I would give the game a 5/5, the choices are just way too confusing since none of them are explained

This is a good idea and can be a fun game but the options are confusing with pictures that don’t make sense sometimes. Do you included what the punishment or non punishment would be with a description it would make choosing an option a lot easier. For example a picture of a pile of money is not very clear, does that mean they have to pay a fine or receive money?

Just downloaded the game a few minutes ago. I opened BeTheJudge , got a loading screen, and an ad immediately popped up before I saw any gameplay. Annoying but I still wanted to try the game. I did the introductory level, level 2 started and before the little intro scene is over I’m watching another ad. The ad ends, I take the two seconds to finish the level, level 3 starts, and before the scene even begins there’s another ad. These levels aren’t even close to long enough to warrant this number of ads. Needless to say it’s already been deleted.

Some of the choices it gives you make no sense. Like the one I just played, he cut the tether for the other astronaut, because he’s an alien. But the alien could have come in peace. So he should be locked up in alien prison, right? Nope, that’s apparently unfair. I try to pick the best option for the crime, but I’ve even had it say unfair for letting them go without punishment. This game makes no sense.

Been playing this game for a couple of days now and I love it so far!!!! I’m cool with the games keep going on & on and all you have to watch are 30 second ads (usually of games I would not mind playing)! I’ll update my review after I have played more

This is supposed to be an ethical puzzle, but the ethics seem way off. The first puzzle says you should punish the man speeding to get his pregnant wife to the hospital by sending him a fine but considers not punishing him at all as “cruel”. Then there’s the one with the protestor who threw cake at a speaker cause the speaker was in favor of cutting down trees so I assume deforestation or whatever. The “perfect” answer is to throw him in jail for throwing cake. None of these make sense. The game is just awful and that was only in the first handful of levels. It’s just beyond ridiculous how awful BeTheJudge is.

You will spend more time watching ads than you will playing the game. It makes sense, free games need to make money somehow, but this is ridiculous and straight up greed and selfishness. They don’t care about customer satisfaction, or game quality for that matter. they would rather make the money off half a million people watching a few ads and deleting the game than they would actually making a game worth playing and enjoying. I don’t normally write reviews but this definitely deserved one.

I installed be the Judge! and had a lot of fun with it, but weeks later when I had finished all the levels, it said: new levels coming next week! So I waited a week, and… no new levels. And now, months later… still no new levels. And the worst thing is, the adds. I won’t bother talking too much about them cause you’re just gonna say: we’re improving and will try to stop the adds interfering blah blah blah. Kind of disappointing, but for the rest, good game!

Long story short too many adds,not enough levels(come one guys it’s been over a year add more levels),and a very basic game. Overall it’s an ok game that I enjoyed playing when I was very very bored but honestly I’ve wanted to delete this several times but I haven’t because I want to know what the next levels will be. Step up your focus and skills and do your job please

So I downloaded the game because it looked interesting. Before the game even begin, there were multiple ads and during game play there were even more. So unless you immediately pay to remove ads, you can’t even experience the game. Not very appealing. You should be able to experience at the least the first two levels before you’re bombarded with ads. After you get feel for the game, THEN it should give you the option to remove ads.

There isn’t much to this “game”: you watch a 2 second animation, then tap like mad trying to find sone dimwitted reason for the animation, then you watch an ad, then you “judge” by choosing one of ambiguous or incomprehensible pictures of what you, and others, think should happen to the protagonist in the original animation, frequently, those pictures are absurd. Then, you get to watch another ad. You spend more time watching ads than playing a dumb game.

I gave this 5 stars so u can see.

Anyways, this is not appropriate for kids, I mean, I get that it’s 12+ and all it’s just- picking to hang people, killing people, no just no. Please don’t download this game! 😔

I have only had the game for about 10min but that adds have not been a problem for me. The only problem that I have is the picture they give you when you punish the people. The pictures aren’t that clear. Especially the one that just has money, what the heck is that one one suppose to mean?

i think you should read what i have to say it’s a good game so far i have had it for 2 mins but so far so good like they say ok pros non add heavy good graphics and overall nice game cons i don’t like the level where the rapper was graffiti man why a rapper and why did he have to be black BLM and that was a pretty sketchy move guys but like i said not add heavy good graphics and creator if you see this i hope you fix the cons thank you for taking the time to read considering the time it toke to write thank you and good day /night

It’s a really great game and I enjoy these types of games. I was so happy to play it but I just kept getting ads and I couldn’t even play the game. I was looking for other peoples reviews and they had the same problem. One of them had a developer saying “Thanks for the review and we are sorry for ads. We will improve in the future and we will try to keep the Ads from interfering.” That review was from a year ago! Please give us less ads so the game can be more enjoyable. Please and thank you Thank you.

Amazing app! It’s so fun, but there are a few things that are not. First of all, the ads. Almost every level you get an ad. I just hate ads, they ruin your in-game experience. Also, the pictures to judge. I don’t understand them. I think there should just be a “GUILTY” button and a “NON-GUILTY” button. It would just be SO easier than having to guess every picture. Overall, it’s a pretty good app! If you like guessing and ads, I would totally recommend 👍

I downloaded this game because it look entertaining for if I was ever bored. Unfortunately, it doesn’t cause boredom at all because of how many ads there are. I tap one button and there is an ad. I understand why there are ads but it’s just too much and makes the game unemployable. Not only that, but all the ads are 15-30 seconds long. That may not seem like a long amount of time but when taping one button it is way too much. I honestly think this game could be very fun to play. But it makes it so hard to enjoy when there’s this many ads.

The first thing you do when you launch the game is watch an ad then after the first level you watch an ad after the second level you watch an ad and to make it even more exciting during the third level an ad plays in the background then whenever you do anything on the third level you have to watch an ad also in the very beginning of the game before you even play level one there it a typo how are you going to miss something like that in the beginning of the game don’t download it it’s a waste of space
