Your desktop is filling with fake 90s popups. Find the real green close controls, avoid the red decoys, and keep the pile under control before the dreaded blue screen. SKIP AD is a fast portrait arcade game built for short runs and one-thumb play. Tap, hold and swipe through crowded ads while BLOAT interrupts with suspicious chat messages, unwanted toolbars and free-internet discs. Face five Hijackers, from Punch Monkey and a printer from hell to an overheating CD burner. Between runs, revisit collected ads in Internot Explorer and explore desktop themes, close effects and taskbar pets. A playable trainer teaches the controls, and Calm mode reduces motion and flashing.
