Ad simulator
I got tired of seeing ads for this game constantly, so I figured I would download it and give it a try, “it can’t be THAT bad, right?”. Buy was I wrong. To go along with a repetitive set of gameplay (which isn’t horrible on its own if the gameplay is fun or challenging) is an absolutely insane amount of ads. No other game I have played has force fed me ads as fast as this. It is almost to the point of being about 1 ad per minute of play time (not including time taken to upgrade). Typically games like this will let you play 3-5 times before they throw an ad at you because, hey, we all need to make money, but this is just a disgrace to all app developers that give a crap about their games. This is a shameless money grab in that they use you to get ad views.In all, I wouldn’t recommend this game to a single person on this earth and would rather tell people not to play it just to spite the greedy slimeballs that put out this heaping pile of trash.
Don’t delete if you pay to turn off ads
First off, other reviewers have made a good point, this game is super basic. The levels start repeating themselves with no additional difficulty. The turn off ads link only shows up periodically, which is super weird to me. As you go, you can pay for permanent upgrades, since the upgrades you do make don’t stick between levels. Permanent upgrades are the treadmill (which helps, but it helps way more if you cut your blocks in specific ways), additional gold per block, and ability to hold more fuel. It’s a cool game, but again, there’s really only so much you can do with it.Why I’d recommend just deleting the game… I paid to turn off ads, deleted the game (because there’s no reset upgrades button to start completely over), and started getting spammed by ads again when I started over. I restored purchases, which did nothing and I kept getting more ads, and because the no ads link is only there periodically, I really have no idea if the game registered by purchase or not… which is super annoying because every time you complete a turn, more ads
Why do game devs do this?
I would rate this game 5 stars because I love playing it in my downtime. However, I’m not going to be keeping it for one reason and one reason only. The same mistake nearly all mobile game developers make. Ads. Ads literally make it unplayable with no way to disable them. I wouldn’t mind paying 5 bucks to remove ads from a game I like. But no, you get an ad after every single level, and even in the middle of you trying to play. When will have developers realize that ads ruin games? Literally everyone hates ads. This game is no different, the ads absolutely ruined it. I’ve always loved the Voodoo company and their games, but this is unacceptable. I never wrote reviews, but this one really did it for me. Devs, if you’re listening, stop with the ads. NOBODY wants to play your game when it’s littered with ads. Cool game, I love it. But due to the constant stampede of ads I can’t play it. Most of the time you spend on this game will be dedicated to watching ads. I’d say 20% game 80% ads is about right. Save yourself the trouble and don’t even download it. You’ll end up uninstalling it just like me.
Absolutely horrible
It’s a good game, don’t get me wrong. Fun to play, and exactly as advertised. However, after the first 5 or so plays, there’s an ad after every. Single. Play. You essentially have to sit through a 30 second add every 15 seconds of gameplay. Also, just to make this problem worse, if you turn your phone on airplane mode or turn off cellular data to the app to stop the ads, it won’t let you play! It gives a “not connected to the internet” message. There is ABSOLUTELY NO reason that this game *needs* an internet connection for anything at all, besides the fact that they want you to watch thousands of ads with no way to stop or skip them. Like I said, it’s a good game, but don’t bother downloading if you don’t want to watch an ad every 15 seconds.
Extremely fun game, ruined by greed
The game can’t be played on airplane mode, why you ask? Because of ads. The developers only allow access to players that are connected to internet (stupidly) and give away all access to pretty much everything. I deleted the game in minutes. The game may seem like it doesn’t ask for a lot, but it does, it takes time, the one thing none of us can buy more of, and also this is the best voodoo can do, I think that’s clear to everyone by now, the game is a very good time killer and provides a total of somewhere around 80-90% entertainment for me, well at least with no ads. You might be thinking “well I can just pay 2.99$ to remove the ads, no biggie, but the thing about it is that you still get ads when you pay for the “No Ads” upgrade, speaking of upgrades, hey voodoo, maybe you should start watching some 35 second ads to upgrade your company? Oh hey voodoo, do you wanna watch an ad to get this company logo that you literally earned? Or press no thanks and receive and ad! Hey voodoo, wanna make game progress? Watch some ads obviously! Hey voodoo, wanna play the game? Pay money to finally play the game without ads! Oops! Looks like your gonna keep getting ads! P.S: don’t pay for the “no ads” and don’t download the game you will waste your time.
Very fun game, but not too much to it.
This game is very fun, and I saw it from an ad, decided to click it, and it was nice playing. You only have a few options though to upgrade 4 things, and you just slowly dig away until you can get everything, then you move to the next level and it’s the same thing from the start but with a different design. Still fun but I wish there was some more variation on the digging part somehow. Still going to rate 5 stars since I’m enjoying it and have no problems.
Decent enough but needs more bugs fixed
The game itself is fine and feels relaxing to me in a way, it’s satisfying to see the blocks fall and to collect them and upgrade things to progress to new levels.The part I’m here to complain about is that part of the upgrades are bugged. For me, the whole set of treadmill/extra fuel/multiplier upgrades can never be purchased, even if I have enough money. The only way I’ve been successful is when they’re offered for a lower price by watching an ad, which is frustrating after I’ve already paid to not watch ads. I can play enough to make the money to get the upgrade, but the button stays greyed out and will not let me purchase it.I’ve seen this too upgrading the arm length, if it will offer a reduced price by watching an ad and I decide to go for it, the upgrade won’t be applied once it is finished.I will say that after paying, I have not been getting any ads that I did not initiate. But the game is putting me in positions to initiate them against my will as it is the only way to progress some of the upgrades. I’d love to see this fixed in some way
Poor execution
The idea of the app is great. And the gameplay is cool for about twenty seconds. Then they ask you to rate the game. After you have been asked to rate the game, you are then shown your first ad. And then after every attempt, you get unskippable ad after unskippable ad, to a point where there is more ad play than gameplay. I am sick and tired of every single voodoo game being a good idea in theory and being so terribly executed. If you want me to watch ads, offer me an incentive to click it myself. Don’t force an ad on me because I WILL deleted the game (I already deleted this one). Or for this game specifically, maybe make one of the upgrade tiers reliant on ads. Like no ad plays for finishing rounds, but if you want to extend the length you can do that by watching an ad. I really don’t get too worried by ads when I as a user activate them myself to get a reward. It’s the unskippable required ads that make me delete games immediately
Great game! Lots of ads! But lacking levels.
Very very fun concept. Just a relaxing game kinda similar to ASMRThe little taps of the phone increasing in pace as your drill increases in power is a very nice touch.The physics are also very nice and fluid My only real complaint besides the ads. Which for $2.99 you can get rid of them, I feel that’s fair. The game is very addicting and relaxing, it’s simple and it does not need any thing else OTHER than some kind of simple level editor or maybe make it so you can take an image off your phone and turn it into a level. I’mNot too sure how complicated that would be to implement. But it’s an idea that would increase the replay ability. As it stands now there are “10” levels which are all great but have questionable progression After the “10” levels. The game counts the next level as “11” even though it just really starts back at the beginning. You do get to keep your permanent upgrades though so it’s nice to comeback and see the progression you’ve made. Either way. I wish just a tiny bit more love was put into the game, I think it has a lot of potential for an actually relaxing game. Just please add some more levels! And maybe take it easy on the adds. Good job!
Fun but some problems
Let me start this with some positives this game is really fun if you have nothing to do or while waiting for something (exactly what a mobile game should be) but i have some issues theres WAY to many ads and it requires internet to run for some stupid reason listen i have no problem with watching an ad every once and a while but this game gives you an ad after EVERY attempt and it can get really annoying after a while another problem is that it drains my battery way faster than any other game ive played but thats not that big of an issue as long as u can charge your phone otherwise i really like some of the level designs, tool designs, and upgrades it’s honestly a really fun game i just wish the developers would loosen up on the amount of ads they show you
