New idle game from Airapport has satirical message about the state of the genre. The top idle games on mobile, which are published by big publishers, are essentially nothing more that the ads viewing factories. Despite of the variety of settings: milk farm, sushi bar, growing plants, mining, crafting, producing, all these "vertical scrolling idles" have the same meaning under the hood: make the player view as many ads as possible (and often the screen controls, which initiate the ads are not event labeled properly). But, nevertheless, these games are in the tops of the mobile stores. So, we decided to build a satirical game in the same genre, where you, as a player, make the people watch ads. The more ads your house inhabitants watch, the more money you earn, and the more special characters you unlock (you can see some of them on the screenshot). You inhabitants will even require more ads to view (they get angry when the TV power is lost). Also they might get tired and eventually will fall asleep. Your task is to keep them awake by tapping on them or building some bizarre alarms (yes, the vibes of Engineer Millionaire will be here). Now you are the business owner and you get richer only when people watch ads. So, your task is to make people watch as many ads as they can. To do this, you can: - Expand your building and equip it with new living rooms with TV and armchairs - Upgrade the TV to show more profitable ads - Train the watchers to stay awake longer, while watching ads - Equip the room with fun contraptions, which will make sure your TV watchers will stay awake as long as they can - Build the automatic TV charger which will keep the TV charge at the working level - Reset any room in your building and start inviting new ads watchers to receive prestige boost Unlike all those modern "idle factory" clones, this game will not show you any ads unless you press the button clearly marked "receive bonus after watching the ads". So, if you don't select to watch the ads, the game will be completely ad-free for you and all the content will be unlockable still. Also, our game doesn't require internet connection to play. Have fun playing our incremental ads factory game and get rich! ## Key features - Build and expand your ad-watching facility - Upgrade TVs for more profitable ads - Train viewers to stay awake - Use contraptions to keep viewers engaged - Reset rooms for prestige boosts - Offline play supported ## Recent user reviews (3 of 3) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ads-factory-tv-watch-tycoon/id1466624295/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Satire *2020-08-10* LOVE the satire of the idle games I guiltily play! ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-06-21, version 1.0.1* Amazing game fun! ### 5/5 — Good Game *2019-06-21, version 1.0.1* Easy to use and simple ## Frequently asked questions about Ads Factory ### What is Ads Factory: TV Watch Tycoon about?
