Ad-fest, even after paying for no ads!!
Pro: Tile Garden IS. A very fun game, its well done, and enjoyable. Con: as other reviewers have noted, the number of ads is RIDICULOUS. And yes, there’s an “ad-free” upgrade, except it’s not even close to “ad free”. The developer claims that the ads you’re stuck with are “optional”, because they’re for “power ups”. That’s not entirely true, and even if it were, they’re still not truly “optional”. Imagine playing Call of Duty or something similar, and you pay $9.99 to stop all the annoying 30-second pop-up ads between sections. Now imagine that to actually get ammunition, you have to watch an ad. Sure, you can play ad-free without ammo, but it’s gonna be more than a little frustrating, and progress slows to a glacial crawl. Is that ad-free? Not at all. Also, they justify the remaining ads by saying it makes it “fair” to those who didn’t pay the $9.99 vs those who did, because EVERYONE has to watch them. But that’s obviously a lie because it’s not a competition between players!! I’m asking Apple for a refund for this deceptive game….which is a shame, because it’s otherwise fun. Also, the game is BUGGY. It regularly says I’m out of slots when I DID have a 3-tile match with the last one I touched. Also, the ads regularly crash the game, too, and you have to restart the round. Maddening!
