Obnoxious Ads

You can’t even get to a point where you can actually play anything. The ads are exhausting and obtrusive! Controls are also terrible if you can’t ever get to them.

Watch an Ad to save?

I don’t expect anything to be completely free but with how difficult the arcade versions of golden axe can be, it’s insane to require to watch an ad before saving. Before playing or between levels would be fine.

Garbage

Absolutely toxic junk. Literally 10 minute ad prior to playing, immediately followed by more ads. So toxic I’ve given up even loading into the game.
HMMM!?HMMM!?

DON'T UPDATE

this is a poison pill update. the app has become ad-based with option to pay a fee to avoid. this update adds no improvement. THE PREVIOUS VERSION STILL WORKS FINE.
