Space Frontier 2 12+

FIRSTLY!!! Thank you Ketchapp for not pounding us with ads and the ol’ close an ad just to have to close a still frame ad of the same advertisement. Lil’ shady with that timed ad at the opening of the game. You know, the one where you think you aren’t going to get an ad but you’ve timed it so that when I think that there is no ad and go to click my screen to start the game it is magically there for me to click and takes me to the App Store. You know, that shady ad. BUT!!!........

What an awesome game. No real ad bombardment, smooth gameplay after the updates, loads of levels and good grinding. I reached “Galactic Emperor” status and hit 1000 on each level with a bit of an anti-climactic ending to this this game, as in no ending. You’re just done deploying. Really fun though. Took a while too, so it stayed interesting. A lot of grinding. Loved the first one and the second was better. Well done Mr. and Ms. Developers.

I think its a cute app honestly, i love these kind of games and its art style is great. Its just the ads that gets to me.. after first downloading the app the ads were so annoying after every launch i broke down and just bought it for $2.99. (which is kinda asking a lot for an already free game.) yet after that purchase ads are still relevant to the game. I mean.. don't advertise “ad free.” If you aren't going to completely get rid of the ads. Its worse enough that the game keeps advertising its “elite membership for $7.99 a month deal” every few launches of your spaceship (that still feels like an ad to me and every time it appears the game glitches and I'm stuck in a screen i cant get out of.) I get that the ads aren't as forced after purchase, it at least becomes my choice to click them if i want more astronauts or ship aesthetics but come on its a bit ridiculous, the game just goes by slower if you don't. anyone else wanting to get the game ads free i recommend just deleting it and finding something else, its not worth it. I haven't seen an ad trap this bad in an app before and they still have the audacity to ask for more money. At least give the players something like more spaceship aesthetics for buying the app. Fun game but it’ll make you feel like an abused house wife that keeps coming back to her gorgeous husband that wont shut the hell up about other husbands in the area.. but for $7.99 a month he’ll do the dishes!!

I really like this game, it’s great for a quick session or for continuous grinding. That being said, there are a few bugs that have basically made me quit playing.

1- Paying for premium and cancelling it immediately should give you 1 week, but instead it gives you 3 days. I fell for this twice.
2- Watching an ad to double your money is cool when it actually works, but if you’ve been out of the game for too long you’ll get a notification upon opening the game that says “do you want to know when you’ve made a lot of money?” and are just given the gold that you earned offline without the option to double it. Another bug with this is if you open the app and get a phone call or text or literally anything that removes the game from focus, you’re given the gold and the offline accumulation resets without being able to watch an ad to double the big amount.
3- 1k astronauts per system, unless of course you’re premium and start with 20 astronauts every time. Just get to 999 and then your last launch will give you +20 so now your system will always have 1019
