### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2024-12-14*

Game seems like would be fun, and I’d watch ads for extra moves and stuff, but forced adds after every level means instant delete. Don’t bother downloading, unfortunately greed destroys what could be fun game. Instead of having players have fun and volunteering to watch adds, forced adds probably means a lot less longtime players and probably would make more money with more invested players.
