Rope and Demolish Reviews

by ThePerplexAnon

I’m used to mobile games being riddled with ads and I have gotten used to it at this point, but this one takes the cake. I tap on RopeandDemolish for the first time and I’m met with an ad right off the bat. Then after that I get to play the game, I move one rope, the game lags, and before the rope even makes contact with an object I am met with another ad. At this point I am already fed up (less than 30 seconds in) and I try to turn off my Wi-Fi to try and actually play the game, and it says I can’t play without a connection. A single player game with no online features whatsoever can’t play without a connection because of the precious ads. I always knew voodoo wasn’t the best but this is an all time low.

There will be an add not only before, and after every single level, but in the middle of your game without warning. I tried to play music while playing but I had to constantly turn it back on because of the obnoxious amount of ads. Most are skippable but because of the number ads your getting it doesn’t matter. Levels take no more than one minute to complete. Therefore a 30 second add in between each level plus in the middle of the level takes up more time that the actual game. Be prepared to constantly exit you game to skip the ads because it seems like that is the only escape. And if you’re in the middle of a level when you do this, you will have to restart.

Did you start the game? Here’s an ad. Did you start the level? Here’s an ad. Did you get halfway through the level? Here’s an ad. Did you finish the level? Here’s an ad. Did you blink? If yes, great! Here’s an ad for your newly-moistened eyes! Did you not? Great! Here’s an ad for you to blink during BUT DON’T BLINK OR WE GIVE YOU ANOTHER AD SO YOU DON’T LOSE TIME WATCHING OUR ADS. I shouldn’t have to pay $3 to not be harassed every 10 seconds by virtual door-to-door salesmen and I would rather give myself an ice-pick lobotomy than watch another ad in a “free” voodoo game.

The game itself is passable btw. I loved it when the water tower lost all four legs yet continued to float in the air, as if I had to watch another ad to make it read the Acme sign to enable gravity.

by Trainer Crogat

Good in concept, terrible in execution. Some of the worst, most intrusive ad breaks Ive seen in a game constantly interrupt gameplay. The ads dont just take place before or after a level, the literally appear as you are playing or navigating the menus. Speaking of menus, this game has terrible ui thats looks and feels tacky. The physics rarely work as intended, which is frustrating when thats the entire pull of the game. What little working gameplay that is there feels clunky and unintuitive. To top it all off Ive been left completely unable to select new levels, meaning I couldn’t play more if I tried. A true embarrassment that apple would even let this on RopeandDemolish store.

To begin with, when you actually play the game and go to hook around the buildings it stutters every 2 seconds and you can’t do anything about it so you just gotta hope that the hook didn’t go to the wrong place, as it will stutter and just go it’s own direction, there’s an ad after every single level, even if you restart you get an ad and you I had to restart the same level 5 times due to the fact that it stutters every 2 seconds and you can’t control where it goes so half the time it hooks to the ground or the completely wrong place. Usually with games you can just turn off WiFi so you won’t get ads but with this game you HAVE to have WiFi. No wonder it said only 1% of people get to level 99, that’s because only 1% of people will actually take the time and play all the way through. If that.

by Ihatelagihatelag

Honestly it’s just a trashy game in general, first of all, the game is COMPLETELY littered with ads so it’s impossible to unlock anything without ads and there’s an ad after every single level and restart. Second, the game stutters SO MUCH. The stuttering causes the hook to go in its own direction and you have to restart to try again and guess what? ADS! You might just think “oh you’re a dummy, just turn off your Wi-Fi and cellular data” BUT NO! THIS GAME REQUIRES WI-FI. So either you litter your game with ads and be annoyed at the game or you buy a pass to remove ads which costs THREE DOLLARS, FOR A FREE GAME! Just don’t waste your time with this game.

by Republican Awesomeness

I loved the look of it in an ad, so I decided to download it. The first thing I realize is that there are tons of ads. I decided to splurge to purchase no ads, because the game looked like a lot of fun. First of all, by the time you get to level 15, it starts back at the first structure, and then by the time you get to level 24, you have built the house fully, and you have done all the upgrades, the game then becomes a snore fest. This review would have been a five star review other than that there are too few levels and too few upgrades.

by Ayasluna

In typical Voodoo fashion, this “game” is riddled with ads to the point where it’s easier to close and reopen it every time it shows an ad. Which is in between almost every single level. The gameplay is so excruciatingly dull, unpolished, and glitchy one would assume it would have taken just a few hours to develop from start to finish. Reused animations and assets from previous Voodoo “games” are also included. Voodoo in general is so obviously a cash grab it’s actually funny. These “games” are a disgrace to all mobile game developers. All I can say is they serve their purpose of mouth feeding you ads in every way shape and form imaginable. There’s more creativity in the way they show you ads than in the game mechanics themselves.

by BeLikeBruh

For starters it’s nice that the ads represent what the game actually is for a change. However the game itself has potential if it ran better. Any time you do to knock down a building the game glitches bad and you’ll normally end up in the dirt or do a complete 180. The controls themselves are janky and very sensitive. That being said it would a two star game if not for the ads that pop up every other level right when you are about to know the building down. From the time I played I do not think I had a skippable ad yet and have to wait between 15 and 30 seconds to come back to a building already demolished because the game doesn’t pause when the ad is playing. 4/10 without ads, 1/10 with ads

by Player 657912

Ads ads ads. I just got this and when I make first contact there is a ad. I turn of my Wi-Fi and it says “no connection” with an exclamation mark above the Wi-Fi symbol. I do not recommend this if you hate ads. If you like ads, go ahead and get it. I rated it one star (above) because of ads. And, on the description, it says “you’ve never played a game like this before!” I have never played a game with so many ads, no, I haven’t. I know you get money of ads, but it’s getting to the point where I can’t play the game. Just too many ads. It says, like, 76% of people rate it five star, but I see that as a cheat.

by RŌBOY

Other reviews say ads “aren’t that bad” or “there’s not too many”, yet after finishing the first few levels, unlocking the next vehicle that pulls the structures down, I get an ad. I wait for it to finish, and then upgrade my rope length and vehicle horsepower, and I then click to start the level, boom another ad. Every little thing you do triggers the next ad. Apps these days are disgustingly made just to profit from advertisement views, when obviously no one cares about any of these advertisements and they’re solely a nuisance of wasted time when trying out new games, just having to wait constantly for ads to finish, with no way to skip from the start, is a complete no go for me. Horrible.

by Jack Newman 1

I really shouldn’t expect anything else from voodoo, but I had to comment about how this game seems to lack play testing. I know you guys are just cranking out games to make lots of money, but someone had to craft each aspect of this game. At least try to make your games good quality. Don’t get me wrong, cool idea, pretty nice execution, except I can destroy any building just by grabbing the foundation and giving it a tug. Whoever made this, thank you for trying. Now go out and make a better game without voodoo. If these games were made with the goal of being good instead of being bait for kids to watch ads, I might actually like this company.

by Friggin Angery

The game was fun for about ten minutes. Then the levels started to cycle through seven or eight of the exact same puzzle over and over again. Solutions became painfully obvious and repetitive. On top of that, an ad pops up after ever single attempt and sometimes right in the middle of play. Ads are so excessive to the point that i’m spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game. And no, the game itself is not nearly interesting enough to bother paying to remove the ads. Overall ended up being unenjoyable and a complete waste of time.

by Joe /\/\ama

The game itself is fun. When I first downloaded it I had fun, went to play it again the next day and I can’t even start a level without 2 ads keeping me from playing. Then after you watch those ads, there’s another one at the end of the level. And don’t bother trying to claim stuff from watching an ad for it, it never let me claim it after, oh and then after not receiving the item for watching said ad, there’s yet ANOTHER ad right after. Good game but man, please calm down on the ads.

by Colt4513212328859900400

This game is completely filled with ads, literally after every single level you get an ad, as well as during some levels. They are the kind that you have to sit and wait for them when you click the “X” it redirects you to RopeandDemolish Store and they are a pain to close. You can’t even turn your cellular off for the game to bypass them because then the game won’t even work, it just says “no connection”. It’s a good concept for a game but literally unplayable the way the ads are set up.

by Tommy_robs

This game is what the advertising shows and could be a good satisfying game but once you start playing it lags very hard if you turn the rope fast at all and after almost every level there is 1-2 ads and some even while you’re in the middle of playing. I had RopeandDemolish downloaded for a total of 4 mins before I couldn’t take how ad written and buggy such a simple game like this is I never write reviews but this game doesn’t deserve the attention it gets just from ads online and faking reviews.

by Not Wyatt

Got hit with 2 ads at every interaction point in the game. Starting a level. Finishing a level. Even viewing the store. Literally anytime you touch the screen.

Decided the game was fun enough to spend a few dollars to remove the ads. But the game still requires you to watch a two minute video the claim new items you worked to unlock. Super shady.

On top of all of that, after level 25-30 or so, you don’t get any new buildings to knock down. It just recycles previous structures and puts different backgrounds behind them.

The game puts an emphasis on customizing your car, cable, and hook, but then given them no unique or different stats. So you work and work just to get something that doesn’t the game at all.

About 2 days worth of fun before It gets redundant, repetitive, and boring.

by Ezaak Bozo

Whenever you restart a level they keep advertising the game by constantly telling you the title and photo of RopeandDemolish as if we did not download it. Stars are useless, limited levels, no customization, no diversity, under recieving credit. On a level i destroyed the WHOLE ENTIRE STRUCTURE and it gave me 62% that and the crashing made me delete this definition of trash and dissapointment. Voodoo used to make good games but have been making terrible ones.

by Sly Long

I almost never pay for add free, but I was having fun and like to show support for developers so I did, and then I realize there is only a handful of levels and they just start over..

Built the house and maxed all the stats in probably an hour-ish. I thought there was going to be a whole series of structures and build like a village or something. Now I wish I had my money back…

It was a fun premise and for a free download to play in a Drs office lobby or whatever it’ll pass the time, but it’s not going to be a long term play at all.

by StokeBrah

The idea of the game and the way it appears on ads looks satisfying. When playing the game the graphics and objective are similar yet the smoothness of movement is off. In Addition simple physics seem to be out the window as a structure can stand impossibly, and upon collapsing it never really crumbles like you would expect. The game is laced with ads to reset, load, title screen, completion screen, and then you get the dreaded double ad every few times. I understand the game needs to make money off of ads, yet if the developers spent a few extra bucks to smooth everything out….and had a high schooler who has taken physics explain logic to them…and put an ad every three full levels instead of 4 per level…then the player base would go up enough to make them money and people happy.

by Powder1129

I hate adds. They give you an option for no adds for $2.99 so I pay for it. However, to replay a level: watch an add. To get the car you unlocked: watch and add. To get the rope you unlocked: watch an add.

The $2.99 just keeps adds from constantly popping up while you’re playing. If you’re content on just playing without ever leveling things up out side of the coins you earn then your fine.

So you know, you can only level up what you already have. To get new stuff you have watch adds.

by Barrage_Souls

This game is satisfying, but at the same time is mostly ruined by the ads, I came to this game from an advertisement saying it had no ads, and when downloading and actually playing the game, that isn’t true, and it also doesn't allow no internet, so no cheating it with airplane mode either. I also looked it up, and voodoo you can get into a lawsuit due to false advertisement, now although I think literally no one cares about a few ads, it only takes on rich kid to ruin it, so just fair warning.

by Nessaudhdjxhxgxh

In the adds, this game looked amazing and extremely satisfying, so I decided to download it. Big mistake. This game gives you adds like every 2 seconds, and the movement of the rope is very off. Because of how much adds there were, I searched for a no adds thingy. There isn’t one. You have no choice but to get adds every plank second. It’s not satisfying at all and the car stops at the end of the screen, so I rated RopeandDemolish 2 stars and deleting it.

by Clout Kolbain

I see too many comments going on about there being very little ads; in reality there are too many. I’ll press down to start the rope and get an Ad. I’ll finish an Ad (which i chose) to get coins, exit the round, and the get another Ad. I’ll finish a mission and get an Ad. I’ll get an Ad after upgrading. There are just too many. The game is genuinely fun but these ads kill it. You cant even play offline you need to have Wifi connection for WHATEVER reason.

by I Lovethis App!!!

This game was very fun for the first 2-3 hours, to the point I actually bought zero-ads which I have NEVER done for an iPhone game, but within those 3 hours I had fully built my house and fully upgraded everything, I am now at level 20 and have nothing to work for except new car models and random hook/rope drops. Next thing I unlock isn’t for almost 100 more levels. Let me do more with the money, buy cars, hooks, new house plots/blueprints ect. And this game would be amazing. MAYBE a competitive multiplayer mode? Either a race for time/% or who can use the least rope.

Hope this gets read!!! Big fan!

by Mainmaines

Downloaded this as a time waster and enjoyed it, but not soon after that— it takes no time at all to level everything up and essentially hit a ceiling with this game.

Everything after awhile seems pointless. Nothing new to be rewarded or gained, just recycling the same puzzle over and over again. Toiling until the job is done.

I see this is listed under “simulation.” I guess if the aim was to simulate being a blue collar worker, doing the same job everyday until you die… it succeeds.

by Rugg10

I made it to level 40 and then it reset all of my progress to level 9. I played some more to try and get back to the same level until it set me back again to level 9. So game developers please fix that bug because it’s actually fun and addictive until that happens about once a week. Also it won’t let me watch any of the ads to get the free prizes or anything locked behind ads..so like most of the cars and rewards. :( but good job love the game so far please keep up the good work and fix the bugs

by Hardsock105

This game is actually really fun the only problems I had with it was the amount of adds it has it has a ton of adds some before you even start to play your game and they repeat the same maps over and over again which can get very boring but besides that this game is actually really fun I just wish it had less adds and more maps

by Anymous847

I read all the reviews and the reviews got me scared until i played the game there werent that much ads but there still were alot and i think its rediculous that you have to watch an ad every time you want to restart the level and i would like to point out lv 19 is a reapeat of lv 1 i also hate that in the ad it said this game was AD FREE and yet it has ads soooo pls fix the ad thing pls

by Hoebagmcsteve

Its a decent game but the mechanics are lacking like the movement of the hook isn’t good, also when you’re trying to demolish things your hook grapples onto anything its near cause the hit boxes are bad, and lastly its just like every other game where you’re gameplay is literally being interrupted by ads making it unplayabl

by Coin Masters Best Ran

I absolutely love this game! I normally don't stick with games often but this is just a really fun game! One thing is with the option to either get a new hook or some more coine if you press the left button you seem to always get a new hook which I think it so be random so you can't always click one option for a new hook. But other then that I absolutely LOVE this game! Amazing job!

by SharpPizza

The game it self is probably the best but there it a minor problem if you hook on to the back of anything it just almost destroys everything might not make since but is better to show anyone

by Thebangman

GREAT GAME and concept for a game but WAY to many ads I even get ads while loading into the game and it just glitches the screen out so I can even load in I wish I could play at least 2 levels without a add but it’s before and after each lvl you get a add each time and the ads are SOOO glitchy

by Little Mac And Cheese Is

So I am new to game but this can actually be very hard a it puts way to much pressure on me maybe you could add a couple more skins to it or a new area otherwise this is a great game almost every one in my family has it! And by the way maybe there could be more levels (just a suggestion) and if you don’t want to that’s fine ITS JUST A SUGGESTION! Any whoever is reading this have an blessed and awesome day or good night! Sincerely, a child still in elementary school:3

by ACRONIX5914

I read a lot of the earlier reviews and like most other voodoo games, thought this one was ONCE AGAIN going to be constantly filled with ads. However, after playing for a short time, I have discovers that there are very little ads, and the game is actually very fun. The one thing I would add is a better way to destroy objects, because when you target the vital load carrying beams, the whole structure falls but doesn’t really break. Idk what engine you are using, but maybe measure the speed of the falling object and at a certain point make it explode when it hits another solid object.

by Bud2020

I have deleted almost all my voodoo games because of ads, it use to be if I didn’t want to be bothered with adds I would turn my airplane mode on and be fine but now you can’t play it with out a internet connection so if I am in a area with no service I can’t play, when I want ads and have time to watch them to help me further in the game it’s ok to have ads, but randomly thought out the game is very annoying! So yet again another voodoo game with to many ads!

I’m crushed. Truly This is worse. I’ve killed the swan. Metempsychosis. The population of the world is skyrocketing yet I feel empty (like the world). Empty people = empty games; more zeros = more money💸💸 I wear a mask to hide the pain 😿all I have know is my music 🎻✋😔trap so old but the game is older, under the roof is cold but the outside world is colder. Sun tzu said that 🇻🇳. ART IS over?
Does he know!
