“Fun game but do not buy the no ads options.”
“I'm happy to sit through a short video to support the devs, but when I click on the watch ad to double XP or get free coins or bonus spins and it tells me no ads available, then has the cheek to spring an ad on me just for clicking play again, I think the devs need to go back to the drawing board.”
“Decent game but the ads completely ruin the overall experience.”
