-Bug fixes and performance improvements.
I love this relaxing game. It doesn’t have “in app purchases.,” which I love. I don’t mind the ads. I say this because the ads are very short! Some games have ridiculously long ads to earn specials and in between rounds! I even sometimes just hit one down by the bottom of the screen because I believe this is one game that seems to appreciate the people who play. Thank you for a fun relaxing game! Highly recommended game!
I downloaded and immediately deleted this app specifically so I could give it a one star rating and write this review, since the App Store doesn't allow ratings and reviews for apps that haven't been downloaded, although I would have done that if I could. For an app that advertises itself as "No ads" there sure are a whole lot of reviews complaining about the obnoxious length, excessive quantity and (unsurprisingly) abominable quality of ads. Vita is just one among hordes of deceptive studios who develop games that are based on lies and obfuscation. Vita is just one among hordes of studios who don't understand that advertising is supposed to PERSUADE, not DECEIVE, potential users to try your product. But I guess it doesn't matter sice there are always going to be enough gullible whales to support the studio, even if everyone else avoids them in disgust. Not that Vita is going to read, much less care about, this review, let alone change their ways. Don't waste your time or bandwidth downloading this or any other Vita game.
The game itself is alright, for what it’s worth, but the ads it displays are sketchy and deceptive, especially for a game aimed toward seniors. For example, some of the video ads have fake notification dialogs claiming that an app on the user’s device needs to be updated. This is a trick to get the user to install the app. Most users would be able to tell that these dialogs are fake, but considering that this game is aimed towards seniors (who may not be as familiar with iOS’ UI), they may not be able to tell the difference. There are also deceptive ads across the bottom - some mimic a phone app or messages UI with a flashing button (to make it seem like the user has a new message). Not all of the ads are like this, but some are. You guys seriously need to reconsider where you’re getting your ads from.
I saw this app when I was playing another games (with ads). The ad for this game clearly stated No Ads. This is apparently not fact because I installed the game and started playing. At screen 7 something stopped the game and it sure looked like an ad to me. This also happened on screen 9, 10 & 11. I don’t know what these things are but they sure waste a lot of time. In fact, these non-ads are actually longer than the game playing itself although presumably in later levels the game takes longer. I don’t care that the game has ads, I care that the company doesn’t have the class tonjust state that. I deleted it because I do not like people BSing me
I really enjoy playing this game now. The update is a great improvement to the game play. Previously, when you reached a certain level, you would fill a paint bottle and complete different portraits. With the update, you now get boosters when you reach a certain level. It makes for more rewarding gameplay.
First, I downloaded the ad because it was for seniors. Do you really think that seniors want to have 20 ads between each and every game? Most of them are not closing down on their own so you have to hard shut down and then it has a whole bunch another ad because those didn’t go through right even though you watch most of it. This is not a good game for seniors don’t have a patience to go through all that, you’ve had the game for a short period of time. I’m very very disappointed in this particular game even though it’s so much fun they make it horrible so you have to delete it.
The good: this is a beautiful, engaging game that I truly enjoyed playing when it was actually available to play. The bad: the number of ads makes the game unplayable, plus, it isn’t just that the ads are long — you can barely get through the maze of ads to return to the game. Once you do get back there’s one play and you’re back in the in the labyrinth of ads again. The truly ugly: read the privacy and terms of service carefully and consider if you truly want to share the amount and type of information being collected about you.
Excessive amount of ads in the free version. $5 is pretty steep for a simple algorithm game. Make long ads for the specials and bonus vials, but way fewer ads in between levels holy smokes. It also becomes the same thing after a while… Where are the levels like the ones in the ad that got me to download the game in the first place? I’m on level 1500 and I still haven’t seen anything like the levels shown in the ad that made me want to download it in the first place. I’m done
