Cake Sort - Color Puzzle Game 12+

I really do like this game. It tickles the right part of my brain that keeps me coming back. One thing that does irritate me is the frequency/placement of the ads. When I click on a daily reward or something and the option pops up to watch an ad for another reward to just claim what I have…9 times out of 10 when I click on “claim” I get thrown into an ad anyway. My expectation from a user is if I click on claim then I wouldn’t get an ad, especially when I was just offered to watch one for powerups and I declined. It’s frustrating because then it’s like “oh well if I would have known I would have been thrown into an ad anyway then I would have watched it and gotten the extra powerups”. It just feels a little greedy.

So I loved this game at the beginning, enough so that I paid for no ads, but the more I play the worse it gets. It seems like once you pay for no ads, they make you watch ads to get stuff that you didn’t have to before. For example, now that I’ve been playing for a while, the bonus rounds, which you unlock by getting points in the main level and used to be free to play, require me to watch an ad to play a level that I earned by playing… The developers reward you for your purchase to stop forced ads by forcing you to watch ads to unlock previously free content. Another thing that’s changed the more I play is the way the cakes move around the board. Oftentimes, when I place a cake, they don’t actually merge all the slices, leaving multiple plates instead of combining them. It’s almost as if they are forcing you to buy the booster tools, which cost a lot more than your coins accumulate. The whole thing is just designed to make you watch more ads (which to be clear I have NO problem doing in general, just not when it’s to play levels that were free to play before I purchased the no ads thing) and spend more money, which is so disappointing because I used to really enjoy the game.

DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOD REVIEWS, the ads are not short, these developers are absolute scammers and they know it! HOW TO SKIP ADs: I’m posting this so these scammer developers have to put actual work into their app, hopefully more ppl do this and then they’ll have to actually spend time on their game to prevent this - close the game when an ad pops up and then you open it right back up and you’ve skipped the ad! Once you re open the app, you’re right back where you were in game, when you closed the game/ completely skipping the forced ads every 40 seconds :) get to work devs!! <3

Original: I wish I didn’t waste my time giving this game a chance. The balance of forced very long ads vs game play time… it’s disgusting. I read about the insane amount of ads.. and I thought well.. I’ve played plenty of games with ads.. this game.. is a literal waste of time. You cannot even get into the game, every 40 seconds I get an ad.. I timed it!! AWFUL WASTE OF TIME GAME! you’ll spend more time waiting for ads to end than the developers spent making the game! I hope this helps the next “me” who comes through and thinks well, maybe the ads won’t be that bad. #uninstalled
