Ball Smasher ‪™‬ 4+

So I played this game a bunch, but recently I’ve only gone on every 2-3 days, collect my money, play for a bit, and then leave again. But the other day, my game glitched. I was on about 100ac or so, but when I’d gone back in, I had 179dt, and no matter how much money I spent, it kept replenishing to the max. Now the game has become pointless cause I have every single upgrade. It’s sort of annoying and I don’t want to have to start from the beginning again.

The app is a great idea and one that would have been very aesthetic had it not been for one of my most loathed ad-wall mechanisms: I. Order to collect the money you gain, you must press a button to “gather” that presents two options. One to gather and the other to x2 boost your gather. However as with many other apps with this anti-feature, the options are often an illusion as clicking the non-boost option may force an ad anyway. Causing a sense of unpredictability about ads is a strict no in my mind and the free games I play are ones where the benefits behind ads are truely a free clans optional choice. See “adventure communist” for an example of this.

I would suggest an alternative method of “boosting”. Maybe boost the next X “gathers” cost an ad. Or even better, make gathering automatic and boost for a certain time period for an ad. But in the least lion studios please make ads an explicit choice not something I am cheated into.

But the ads. The relentless and super annoying ads. I don't understand why to earn any money in game you literally have to watch an ad. You also have the option of watching another ad to earn twice as much.. I love idle games to the point where I don't mind setting my phone away for the 30 seconds it takes to get a x4 earnings for 4 hours or whatever. But this is far too annoying.

It's not just the ads too. I closed the app because I diddnt want to be subjected to an ad, and when I reopened it, all my earnings had disappeared :/ so idk what game mechanics they need to work out but yeah.

I've noticed game ads have been getting worse and worse. This goes too far. I mean in two years time are we just gonna be installing apps that just play adds? The fun part is working out how we play them?
