Broken after watching ad
The game seems to constantly break after getting or watching a singular ad. The music disappears and the level doesn’t load properly. Other than that it’s a good game.
Biggest Downfall in history
I don’t ever write reviews, but this is such a big downfall that I needed to say something. When I was younger, many many years ago, when the game was in its very early stages, this was a staple in my day to day. The game was so fun and so well made. Every level was unique, the music as well, and when they did an update it filled me with excitement to go and try out the new levels. Well, today I randomly remembered the existence of this game. I went to download it, and after 5 minutes of “mostly” ads, I deleted it.
The first thing the game tells you is to pay 32$ a month for all levels access. 32$!!!! For a GAME. That’s insane. Then if you don’t want to pay it, you’re stuck at the first level they give you. I remember in their first iterations ads didn’t even exist. You could choose whatever level you wanted to play with no consequence.
Now, I took more time watching ads than actually playing. After every press, an ad. You died? An ad. You want another level? An ad. You want the guidance line? An ad. It’s insane!
And not only that, when I actually lost in one of the levels and decided to watch an ad to continue playing, the game just didn’t render the map right so every try was just wasted because there wasn’t any map for the little line to go on.
If dancing line truly wants to get on top of their game again and build an actually usable game, they have to:
1: stop the ads. Having a subscription or paid service is normal. But not ads every 2 taps.
2: switch the model from ads every 2 seconds to one where the user chooses to watch ads to get more lives. That makes sense and there’s a purpose behind each ad.
3. Allow usage across all levels. It doesn’t benefit the app to lock users to certain levels that they don’t want to play. If they’re able to play their favorite levels, they’ll stay for longer, therefore watching more ads and being more hooked on the game, which equals more money.
4. For the money side of things again, add a customization feature.
Create different “skins” for the line. People that really like the game and play it a lot wouldn’t mind opening packs or using real money to buy CHEAP skins. It’s a game. You can’t charge 20$ per skin. Maybe one or two dollars and for higher end ones maybe 8 or something.
5. If you do want to have a subscription model, make it be infinite lives, a few skins per month, and hints and help in every game.
And if not, you still enjoy the game with all levels unlocked, but you have a few lives that to replenish you can infinite ads or you can come back after a few hours.
These are just some ideas I have that I think could benefit the game strategy and overall direction in a good way. I loved this game and just want to see it succeed again, although I highly doubt anyone will actually care.

TS SO PEAK
I forgot about this game for the longest time and just redownloaded it and forgot how amazing it is
Perfect
❤️🙂
Unfortunately unplayable
This game was my first mobile game. It was simple, easy, and barely any ads. I just redownloaded the game for fun, and I kid you not, I have watched ads longer than I’ve been enjoying gameplay. At most, you get 2 attempts between ads, AT MOST! I clicked the settings menu button and it pulled up an ad. This is 100% unreasonable and unacceptable!
Ads are deceptive too, if they’ve got a progress bar it’ll move fast at first and slow down. If the ad is a video, it’ll play 3-4 times. Many ads have multiple screens with Xs that you have to click through.
I just want the old DL back.
