This has, by far, the most aggressive ad displaying tendencies I've ever seen in my 10 years of mobile gaming. Fire up the game for the first time (pre-playing a single level)? Ad Start a level? Ad Finish a level? Ad Head out to the menu to see which level you're on? Ad Hotel? Trivago Shimm5 likes this. ROGER-NL Well-Known Member May 21, 2012 4,030 340 83 Male Gamer. THE NETHERLANDS #5 ROGER-NL, Apr 23, 2020 Bought the IAP after the first level, but if you don’t it can be harsh with the ads, on the other side devs need money too so it’s an ongoing discussion right he he. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #6 ste86uk, Apr 23, 2020 It’s a fine balance that’s for sure, make it ott and it’ll just put you off liking or even trying the game. Make it too lenient and you won’t feel like you need to remove the ads. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #7 anthony78, Apr 23, 2020 At least it appears they are all only 5 second ads. If they were the 30 second variety, then, yeah it would be really bad. Yu He New Member Oct 30, 2013 4 4 3 #8 Yu He, Apr 23, 2020 Dev here. I'm really sorry about the ads! It's a actually a bug. I set ads to always show on every scene change while trying to debug why the ads did not show up at all and forgot to set it back after. Will be fixed in the next update.

ROGER-NL Well-Known Member May 21, 2012 4,030 340 83 Male Gamer. THE NETHERLANDS #10 ROGER-NL, Apr 25, 2020 This is really a clever game, like it a lot. macplash Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2014 2,645 1,103 113 Male 3D artist Munich, Germany #11 macplash, Apr 25, 2020 I just gave it a chance after @ROGER-NL bumped the thread for the 2nd time as I realized there must be a reason for that. And it sure is. It’d be a damn shame if this game went through here unnoticed. Because it is amazing! Very clever mechanics (I especially like the one introduced in one of the early levels Size Matters. But each level is really cleverly handcrafted and so far it’s been a rare sight I 3 starred any of them on my first attempt. And I love it! Even the level selection itself is unique and clever. Visually the game is stunning. The rain effect, explosions, the shaking - what a great atmosphere. I’m not particularly a fan of jazz music in general, but in this case it really doesn’t bother me at all. Somehow it feels right. Suits the game perfectly. Controls feels natural and smooth, works like a charm. 50 levels seems to be a perfect amount to keep me interested. It’s not filled with artificially stretched levels to increase their amount just for the overwhelming statistics. There’s no repetition so far. Each level feels unique and special. I appreciate it. Single IAP of 6,99€ to remove ads and unlock hats might seem a little steep for current iOS standards but I believe it’s perfectly justifiable considering the production quality, handcrafted levels and overall cleverness of game mechanics. I’d highly recommend to go for it to support the dev. For the possibility of future updates with more content, a completely new title of similar quality or simply just because... tl;dr: Visually stunning puzzler with clever game mechanics and plethora of handcrafted levels to go through.

But to be honest I put the music out on every game, to distracting for me I’m nearly an old man with my 49 years of age so, first thing I do when I start a new game is put the music out he he.

I did not expect this at all, really makes my day ^_^ There'll definitely be updates for this game! I already have some ideas in mind for some mechanics that I think will have interesting interactions with the existing ones ROGER-NL and macplash like this.

It lets you try the game for free. Play the whole thing free if you don’t mind seeing them. But buy it and it’s premium but at least you could try before you buy. macplash and ROGER-NL like this. Maxime0683 Active Member Feb 5, 2020 27 11 3 Male #18 Maxime0683, May 5, 2020 That's true but we are looking at things from different perspective. If someone is not willing to pay to remove ads, what is better: Be brutal and show as many ads as possible in the first session which will make most of the player uninstall the game ? Show a reasonable amount of ads and retain the player for a longer period ?
