It really is fun and such a great idea, but too many ads have ruined it. It’s a lengthy ad every 2-3 turns. You feel like you can’t do anything or get anywhere without having to wait a really long time for yet another ad. The ads are longer than the game play you get before you have to wait for ANOTHER AD. I’m not anti ads, I appreciate them making some really fun games free, but calling this overboard is minimizing. What’s more overboard than overboard? Brain Dots’s love for ads. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-02, version 2.20.1* I used to enjoy the game as a kid , its all ads now ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-30, version 2.20.1* Not my idea of fun spending more time watching ads than playing a game. ### 4/5 — Brain dots *2026-06-27, version 2.20.1* It is a really fun game that helps you learn to solve and make things but it is annoying how many advertisments there are that stop the flow of the game. ### 1/5 — 600円払ったのに *2026-06-08* 有料にしても、アイテムをゲットするために広告を見なきゃいけなくて、すごく損した気分。 ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-05-29, version 2.20.1* Muy buen juego, ayuda a desestresarse y ejercitar la mente ### 1/5 — Anuncios *2026-05-26, version 2.20.1* Muchos anuncios, todos los juegos así son pésimos ### 2/5 — 広告多め、難易度低め。 *2026-05-17* 他のレビューにもあるように広告は多めです。 それでも、ゲームの内容に期待してインストールしたのですが、幼児が遊ぶような低難易度のもので、すぐにアンインストールしました。 ゲーム内容に惹かれてインストールしようとしている方は、インストールしないほうがいいと思います。 ## Frequently asked questions about Brain Dots ### What is the main objective of Brain Dots?
