game knows ur location

alot of people are rating this game 5 stars for some reason but did you know it steals your location? it also steals 3 other things.

Ad…

Ad ad ad… ad is everywhere. It could be a nice game… but it’s ruined by ad

Ads.

After first couple of runs and you get far enough to earn “stars” there’s and ad every star and every time you finish and everytime you try to collect your cash. The ads play in the middle of gameplay at least twice which is infuriating.

😀🔫

There is an ad for every second of this “game”

Lasts a couple hours tops

Game has almost no content at all. Stats max out early on, and there are only five levels total. Game just doesn’t last long enough to be worth the download. Whole thing felt like a beta test with no real refinement or advancement.

Would give zero stars if I could

Absolutely abysmal experience with 4-5 ads per 1-2 minute run. Greedy developers absolutely ruined what could be a relaxing game. Shame on you

0 stars.

This game shoves ads down your throat in the middle of gameplay, you’re maneuvering the root around a corner and then suddenly you’re in an ad. I get it, companies need to make money and ads work well for that, but your gameplay is absolutely ruined by how they did it. 0/10

TOO MANY ADS

After each game, an ad, if you deny the ad reward, an ad, upgrade your plant. An ad, I’d play this for hours if there weren’t so many ads

Cheeks

Game doesn’t look the way the ad showed

Mixed reviews

So. This game is okay, but what I really don’t like is the next areas are blocked by an AD. I’ve never seen a worse game that shoves ads in your face as you’re PROGRESSING.

Forced ads mid-game

The game forces ads in the middle of the game, it kills the fun…
Also after each ad, the game lags until restarted…

Fun but too many ads.

Plus its a remake of a itch.io game.

Good idea terrible game

In the first minute you have to start watching ads. It would be fine if the ads were optional I would have rated in about 4-4.5 but this is just a scam there’s more ads then actual gameplay.

Very fun and addictive game but…

The sheer amount of ads this game has is so annoying, like every time i get to a new area AD!
Ads are everywhere in this game and that’s its only problem.

The same problem as too many others

1. Portrait orientation only

2. Incessant ads

3. Moving, hence distracting ads at the bottom of the screen

5. WTF‽ Gameplay?

6. No inkling as to how to play, but …

7. I suppose the game plays itself

I write some reviews so I won't bother with an app again. With scores of games available, I guess this developer reasoned it's pointless to build an app and have it rise to the top, but bobbing around the bottom is sufficient.

I doubt I have to explain to users why the first 3 issues ruin any iPad app, but developers don't know or don't care. Or- maybe the ad revenue from my 10 minutes “using” the app is enough. The final 3 items are for non-gamers like me. I don't open a game or many other apps and spontaneously understand what to do, but I try. First, I open the settings and turn the music off since I want to listen to my own music. I have to play my music through my iPhone, though, since, IME, if music is on an app, it precludes anything else from playing. Absurd, right?

In Settings, I look for information about how to play. Nothing? I go back to the game, watch, and fiddle around. What are those stars? What are they doing? What are those things I can buy every 20 seconds after the game planted the seed and the plant grew- while I did nothing? Why is “No Thanks” greyed out and half-hidden?*

Some games tell me what to do and are playable, but also some, usually RPGs, seem to have have actions that don't do what they ought to do, AFAICT. If I were an antagonistic, bellicose, contentious reviewer, I believe I’d leave reviews for games I can't figure out asserting they’re fake games, the developers fraudsters, favorable reviews as paid, and shame on Apple for permitting this trash in the store. Instead, the situation is probably more mundane. I don't think like the developers, and I don't have much experience in how games are played. I don't mean I don't understand the point. I don't understand the mechanics of what is likely blindingly transparent to game developers and players. It's a shame, isn’t it?

*I know that one.

Fun Game

This game is really a fun, take your attention type of game. However, there’s just too many ad’s in 1 run I got 4 ads. I get that companies gotta make money but to have 2 ads mid run and ads before and after the run is absurd.

Ads are like a cancer

Even if you choose not to multiply your earning you get an ad and it’s almost like the developers want to punish progression because there’s an ad at every new layer

Unpolished game

Saw an ad for this game and thought it looked cool, so I bought it. The quality was differed from the ad, like most every other mobile game, but the game still had the same idea, so that’s good. This game needed more time in the development phase. It’s just not very good right now : messed up writing, not a lot of variety, nothing to keep the player playing (ie possibly gaining gems for skins, temporary upgrades, etc.). The game is ok, just definitely needs more work. And as always Game that took a long time to develop > game that’s just put out there

Looks nothing like the ads.

I was scrolling through shorts and found an ad that looked a bit interesting. I downloaded the game, and the game had similar stuff like the ad showed, but it was very lazily made. When you reach the end of your root growing, the tree just materializes. No growth stages. Just a wood stick with leaves magically growing.

Badly made adware

The game hits you with 30-60 second ads every two minutes. The privacy policy is basically an excuse to use your info however they please. And to top it off, there are several spelling mistakes in the UI like they didn’t even spell check this direct rip of a 2009 browser flash game. Do. Not. Download.
