To fix your ad

Overall game great but the ad for you has a thing to fix:the destruction of dots I mean why zapping dots I’m on galaxy 5 and the next galaxy has Tesla coils not the first one so fix that but again overall game is better than the ad


Update:I’m on galaxy 6 right now

Ads

It’s a fun game, it’s enjoyable i like how quickly you can progress its pretty damn entertaining. I have one problem though, some of the units you can Only get more of by watching ads, and some upgrades cost More if there’s an option to watch an ad. I find the really stupid cus wth and the cost isn’t like a little bit more it’s like 2-3 times at least. And after you buy the upgrade, the next one is Cheaper and it’s kinda rough when its the value upgrades n stuff cus those are Already expensive

Chill

The game is quite nice and it’s relaxing to play, but I do not like the amount of forced long ads just to progress with new things.

Game fun but Loki ai generated

Yeahhhb I caught yall

This game is ad-slop

Downloaded this game thinking it’d be a fun and unique game (something rare nowadays) and was immediately disappointed. This game constantly bombards you with ads, from upgrades randomly shooting up in price, to pop-ups whenever you hit the golden dot, or get lucky. The game offers ad multipliers, but also ad “discounts” that means you technically get an upgrade for free, instead of paying the ridiculously high in-game price. You’ll be tapping upgrades over and over again, and suddenly be sent into an ad because the price jumped randomly. Plus, the ad-free options in this game are VERY misleading, with the cheapest option (4.99) only turning off the POP-UP ads, not the banner ads on upgrades, or golden dots. You have to spend more, just to keep upgrading at a consistent rate.

I understand this game was made by a smaller team, but there is no need to make this game so predatory towards the player. You’re basically forced to watch ads, or spend your money just to get less ads, or go ad free. This game is the epitome of what makes a game ad-slop; forcing ads down your throat. If you think this game might be fun, think twice, and maybe play something else. The AppStore has a ton of other good games to play, so don’t waste your time on this one.

Perfect

Easy to go free to play in this game I love it

Chill Game

Honestly I just started and it seems like one of those Chill games you can play while on a drive, also for the people seeing the reviews NO I AM NOT A BOT, this game seems pretty fun tho

Ads

Ads pushed everywhere. Think it’s funny that when doing lots of upgrades the button changes to an add button to try to force it

Cool game

So far it’s a cool game but if theirs ads involved just to upgrade or if there’s not as much powerful upgrades for the weapons as there should be imma just get rid of the game entirely.

Its ok

It’s a pretty good game if you are waiting for appointments or business meetings

Won’t let me go to a galaxy.

Im trying to go to galaxy 2 and I can’t click nothing, can’t swipe nothing, and it still says galaxy 1 this game is bugged for me and is unplayable!

Dot

.

Cool game

I like it a lot

Rebirths Make things more expensive

Whenever you rebirth the hp of dots, cost of upgrades and galaxies go up. Even using the rebirth currency you cannot even reach the stage prior to rebirth easily/at all. There does not seem to be a super rebirth that resets this.

Weapons and upgrades

You need to watch ads to get more weapons. The only way to get any sort of weapons is to watch ads. Everything else in the game is in game currency but very dumb to have to watch ads to get more weapons.

Uttvm

Se ve bien pero no me deja iniciar sesión

Solid game.

I have never seen a game as simple and better than idle dot shooter. I love mining random dots and causing chaos using the turrets and drones and upgrading my universe, although the ads the game is very engaging and interesting. 5 stars.

Manipulative app design

I was playing for literally less than 6 seconds when I got the popup to rate the app. I had tapped one button. If that’s all the gameplay you have to offer before assuming I have enough familiarity with this game to give it an accurate review, then this is a truly lazy and low effort title. They thought I was just brainlessly going to give them a 5 star review when I can’t tap two buttons before pestering me? In addition to that, I continued to get numerous popups while I was trying to play this tap heavy game making me believe that I’m intended to accidentally hit the purchase buttons, and furthermore the game decided to wait till I started rapidly upgrading a stat before throwing a “watch an ad for x” popup in front of my finger. Deliberately deceitful, manipulative, toxic app design.

I realize the devs need money, but there are better, less toxic ways of doing so. And step one is getting the eff out of my face. If I receive a message from the devs saying things have been improved and the game is much more wholesome and ads and in app purchases and the like have been severely toned down, I’ll be happy to give this another shot and rereview, but until then, this is my honest opinion.
