Nothing like completing a brain game and then having a slot machine ad scream BUFALOOOOO!!! in your headphones. Great time. ### 2/5 — Can’t pay to disable ads - and they show regularly. *2025-11-22, version 2.3.0* I was really loving this game until the first ad popped up. There’s another review that says you don’t see ads unless you use hints - that’s not true; you see them after normal progression and there’s no option to pay to disable them. Sorry, I’d happily pay for the app - but I won’t pay for it by watching dodgy ads. It’s a real shame too- otherwise this game is exactly what I was looking for. Imagine choosing to ruin a great game you put a lot of time and effort into instead of putting in a fair payment option. Boggles the mind. ### 1/5 — We need more updates *2025-05-28, version 2.3.0* ^ I Now😡😡😡😡😡 ### 2/5 — This game is kind of boring *2025-05-08, version 2.3.0* Some times when I watch a ad for a hint when I finish the ad I don’t get the hint this annoys So can you please fix this bug ### 2/5 — Wish I could buy it and turn off ads *2024-11-25, version 2.2.6* I want to let my kid play on his own but ads pop up randomly! Otherwise it’s a great game! ### 1/5 — No physics and only basics *2024-10-26, version 2.2.6* If this was truly the incredible machine, physics and masses would be assigned to the various materials. In addition using super simple blocks and ramps is not what the incredible machine is about. Way too basic! ### 3/5 — 広告 *2024-08-31, version 2.2.6* 広告を見るだけで端末がものすごく重くなります 気をつけてください ### 5/5 — 楽しい！ *2024-04-08, version 2.2.6* 最高！！！！ ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2023-08-06, version 2.2.6* This game has NO ads unless u need a hint . I love games like this but they are usually loaded with ads but this one’s great ## Frequently asked questions about Rube Goldberg Shoot ### What is Rube Goldberg Shoot - Tricks?
