I got this for free and could find no way to pay for a version of this game so that I wasn’t constantly interrupted by ridiculously long ads. I’m super confused because one would think that the object of making this game was for the creator to make money, but I am unable to give you my money and it also appears from other reviews that even if you pay ,you STILL get ads! Weird. Who would pay for a game that is constantly interrupted by ads? I’ll keep playing the game till I get tired of all the ads, then it will most likely get deleted. ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-05-27, version 2.3* Ads on a game I paid for ### 1/5 — Ad spam is terrible *2019-05-27, version 2.3* Seriously, constant ads being shoved down my throat is an instant delete ### 4/5 — Moo ear *2018-07-14, version 2.0* Fun game ### 3/5 — Mr *2017-01-23, version 1.4* The game is definitely fun and a bit addicting. My main complaint is not having a restart button in the middle of a puzzle when you know you messed up already. Also the game seems to crash whenever I press to many ZombieHead's at the same time and there is an explosion. Having to reload the game plus having to sit through the title animations over and over is a bit frustrating. ### 2/5 — Fun game *2016-12-30, version 1.4* I would like to play it more but channel 2 episode 17 is impossible for me. There's no walk throughs or help in game. ### 1/5 — Adware *2016-12-07* Game is bloated with ads. Stay away ### 4/5 — Odd little game *2016-10-10, version 1.4* And curiously addicting :-) ## Frequently asked questions about The Blocking Dead ### What is the gameplay like in The Blocking Dead?
