Terrible
Watch ads and you don’t get the rewards.
Good game but bug issue
The game is really good no doubt, but there is a bug issue when watching an ad more than once, the reward of the ad wouldn’t be given at all

Buggy Ad-Watching Simulator
Attempting to play Hooked Inc is a tragic experience. The graphics are pleasant, and their take on the typical mobile idle-game is unique enough to make it pretty enjoyable when the game actually works as intended. Unfortunately, the frequent, obnoxious ads ruin the experience and make the game nearly unplayable.
I played this game quite a bit a few years ago (before COVID), but deleted it in frustration from the incessant random ads, and the optional ads failing to register and give the promised rewards.
Now, 6+ years later, the ad problem appears to have only gotten worse. I understand the “watch-ads-to-play” model has become the industry-standard for mobile games, but how is it acceptable to force a random, unskippable ad every 1-2 minutes? And how has the issue with ad rewards not registering gone unaddressed for over 6 years?
Some of the ads are 60+ seconds long and require you to interact with them in some way for them to finish. When trying to open chests, spin the wheel, or double your login bonus, you have to watch 3-4 of these ads before the reward actually registers.
When you finally give up with trying to fight the game into giving you the promised rewards, you’re given a random ad. For example, when opening crates, you have the option to watch an ad and double the reward, or open it immediately for a half-reward. Even when I try to open it for the half-reward, I’m given an ad anyway.
I’ve played a few similar idle-style mobile games, and none ever had issues with ad-rewards failing to register. Since Hooked Inc has had this issue for at least 6 years now, I’m convinced the devs either have no interest/capability in making the game function, OR they purposely withhold rewards at random to make you watch more ads.
Either way, it makes this game not worth your time; I honestly think filling your underwear with fire ants and chewing on shards of broken glass would be less irritating than attempting to play Hooked Inc.
