The game is free and requires 1.99 for an ad free experience. Surprised that it was not .99 but im not that much of a cheapstake to take off a star for that. The painful thing is when they are 30 second ads one after another. Your digs will take less time to do than the ads take to watch. Very fun little game to play though. Peppered in offline income is welcome and every little thing you find is actual visible in your home base.

Okay game, but the ads are over the top frequent. You will literally spend as much time watching ads as playing the game. It takes a second to get use to the game, and ads are used as punishment for failure. It comes off strongly as harassment to pay for the game, before you’ve even truly played it, because as your attempting to learn you are assaulted with ads for any miss-step, in a game which failure will happen frequently. Just waiting for it to download will be wasting your time let alone playing it. If you’d like the experience of this game, play a Mario game and watch 30 seconds of ads any time you take 1 hit. Also notice how fake the names are of people giving this 5 stars. Artificial inflated to look like it’s worth your time. They are lying to you so they can give you 1 min of ads for every 1 min of game. Not sure why they would suffocate their own creation like this. Move on to a better game that understands you can’t just puke ads all over an okay game to equal profit. Doesn’t work like that.

This game is simple and fun, but there’s one decision that kills the fun for me: the ads. Normally, when one dies you have the choice of paying for no ads, or selecting yes or no. One would think selecting yes prompts an ad video to watch which is well and fine, but selecting no ALSO plays an ad? Being forced to watch an ad even if I didn’t want to continue was bad enough, so one decides ‘if I’m forced to watch an ad I might as well use the continue’. Then you are forced into watching a second ad the moment you die after using your continue. I would rather just spend money outright, and at it’s low price I might have done just that, but the first sour taste has already been left in my mouth, and thus, my desire to continue playing has ended.

So the game concept is alright and it is fluid enough, but the ads are waaaaay over the top on this. At the end of every round you have to watch an ad, for every continue, sometimes when loading. A round might only last 15 seconds if you have a bad run, so really you are watching ads more than playing the game. It is excessive. Other F2P (free to play) games offer ads where you can say like no I do not want to watch, but if you do watch you get a bonus. It would be nice if this game took that approach, but no, to even play there are non-stop ads. In summation, unless you want to pay for ad-free version of this, I would not get this game.
