Rope Around 12+

The game is great like advertised, but there are way too many ads and I love the game, but I am getting the vibe of deleting the app because of the ads! If there were no ads this app would be 5 stars for EVERYONE! My favorite app right now is Loop, and that’s because it’s an awesome game, and it has 0 ads ! If the ads don’t start disappearing then my rating will get lower.! Besides the ads, I think we should have more control over customization, like we should be able to have options of the color of the rope, the background color, etc. Overall I get the idea of the game, Therefore, my rating is a 3.

A good 10 minutes of play will land you 11 ads at best, 20+ at worst, I got back to back ads more than 10 levels in a row, there is also a incredibly common bug/glitch where the level will not load no matter what you do, resetting your level progress doesn’t nothing, returning to main menu does nothing, even resetting the app itself doesn’t nothing to fix it... I’m only giving it a 2/5 because I like the psychics behind the rope itself, it actual looks like a rope, not some phantom line following me that has no care for speed/direction. But the ads, oh god, THE ADS, it’s pure scum, some characters can only be unlocked by watching a certain amount of ads, but the point from watching the ad is RANDOMLY assigned to a character, which al require multiple points, the “rewards” at the end of a level are anything else, most of the time it’s just “watch ad for a point towards one of the ad exclusive characters” then it might be “watch ad to spend your “energy” (it’s the in-game currency) to unlock a character you could unlock by NOT watching the ad” and if you skip that ad, you get an ad anyway, making the skip button useless... you get no warning to these forced ads, and they appear so often it’s likely you will spend more time watching ads than playing the game, since the levels are all so simple and even start repeating (I had a repeat of Level 1 as my Level 14...)

Firstly, I like the idea of having to figure out how to navigate around the poles with a limited quantity of rope... but there is no indication of how much you have. Adding that would be a nice addition and maybe even limiting your amount more could create a more in depth puzzler where your routing actually matters. Next up. THERE IS NO SOUND. Not even a simple fanfare after completing a level. You get no joy out of completing a “supposedly” difficult puzzle but are instead rudely interrupted by an add that is way too loud because you opened the game full volume expecting some sort of tune to play along with. Its not only eerie that there is no sound, but makes the game even less interesting and therefore, makes people less likely to put up with the barrage of adds. Next, the rope physics are bad. I completed a few levels just because the rope jiggled just right turning that into a solid line would make it more challenging. And finally, there just isn't enough levels here to make this a fully fledged game. I’d like to see more. Maybe even a level selector. But until these issues are dealt with. I wont be even slightly tempted to spend a dime on it or for that matter, play it.
