Eh… adds. The annoying kind too

Game seems like it could be fun. I like the ps1/n64 style graphics, I accidentally fell in a pit so it ended my first run. Asked if I wanted to watch an add to keep going. I said no cause I just started my first run… then it takes me to an add anyway 🙄 and the annoying kind too that the x is had to find/missing then you click out of it and it launches the App Store anyway. No thanks. I get it adds keep things free blah blah. You don’t have to pick the up most annoying kind of add though…
