“Advertised as no ads - has TONS of ads all the time — You can’t move forward without ads, yet all the advertisements for this game say it has no ads and that’s supposed to be a major draw … I have screenshots. It’s false advertising and what’s worse it they target seniors in their ads as well … that tanks this game for me. Such dishonesty and scams to get players … why? If you came because it said no ads … don’t…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Ridiculous, infuriating ads — The ads for this game are absolutely infuriating. They are constant, much of the time can’t be dismissed without closing the app and relaunching it, or don’t deliver the incentives (extra undos in the game) after completing watching a ridiculously long ad. Way to ruin a decent game.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Ads need a time limit — I love the game but I spend more time on ads than playing. Some of the ads take you to their sites. I’m gonna give it another week if no changes im deleting.” — ★★☆☆☆

These dessert rats can’t stop lying 🤥 it’s part of their ideology” — ★☆☆☆☆“Previous player — I was hesitant to download this game again. When I read the reviews about the ads it made me more hesitant. When I played previously I believe it was ad free. I delete a lot of games because the ads are too long or they won’t let you exit if you’re not interested. If I find this to be the case it is unlikely I will play again. I stopped playing because after awhile it was no longer a challenge for…” — ★★☆☆☆
