Hope you don't mind a little feedback...

This is definitely a fun little game... and I've enjoyed playing the first few levels... The control system works really nicely as well, and I can see that as the difficulty gets harder this game looks like it will get really intense.

Unfortunately though I'm going to uninstall it. And the reason is there are too many adverts.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why they are there, and I have no problem with the adverts in the app.. its just they come up far too frequently and spoil the gameplay experience. I played through to level 6, and counted at least 4 videoclip adverts where I had to stop playing and watch them (and close them out)... Thats just not fun :(

If they were spaced out, I'd probably have played the game more, and seen more of them... or if there was a way I could pay a small amount to never see them again, i'd consider that.

But, congratulations on making a good game thats a lot better than most of the games on the play store, and good luck with all your other projects.
 
Thank you very much for your feedback, psionandy. I appreciate it!

I will definately think about lowering the frequency of adverts. Currently, an ad shows up after two rounds.
Also, there may be a button to pay a small amount of money to remove the ads. Was thinking of that! (I implemented that in my other game "Bubble Breaker")

Reagarding the advert display, what do you mean by "If they were spaced out.." ?
I'm curious now :D

Thanks for the reply...

By spaced out, this is what I mean. You've written a fun game, and so, there needs to be more time spent playing the game, and less time waiting to play it while the adverts are on.


At the start of the game (can't say much about later on as I haven't got there yet) each round of play takes around 20-30 seconds... and each advert is around that long as well.. so I'm spending 30 percent of my time just watching adverts... which as a game player is incredibly frustrating and makes me want to stop.

If howver I got to play 10 gameplay stages before having to watch an advert, then thats ok, as i've got a nice block of levels to play in a row.. And so I'd end up watching more ads, over a longer period of time).

(the precise ratio of gameplay time:advert watching is of course something you'd need to work out)
 
I see what you mean. And yes, it's quite understandable.
Will definately work on the game time vs. ad time ratio

Thank you very much again for your fast feedback.
