I timed it. Every 60 seconds an add pops up. They are the short kind you can skip through in like 12 seconds, but every minute is excessive even for these. It interrupts game play and makes me feel like I’ve signed up to be blasted with the same add over and over again.
I understand that ads are how the developers make money, but there are ways to do it without ruining your game, and that is what has happened.
The game is cute, fun, addictive, and overall amazing — when you get to play it in the 50-59 minute intervals between ads. I love the idea of watching adds for money, speed, or even additional color choices. I click on these ads all the time, except when I just watched 3 ads in the last minute, and I’d like to just play the game for once.
We will voluntarily watch your ads if you give us good rewards and let us play. Additional color options, maybe helpers that aid an area for a limited time (like an additional receptionist for x minutes), there are a lot of untapped bribes we’d be happy the click on ads for.
However, the forced ad every minute has ruined the game for me. I just started the mountain hotel and I can’t deal with the constant interruptions anymore, even though I totally love the game.
An ad machine is not worth my phone’s hard drive space.
Disappointed and uninstalling.
