  • monetization1,038 mentions

    The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report spending more time watching ads—often unskippable and interrupting gameplay—than actually playing the game itself, with ads appearing before, during, and after levels. Many users express frustration over the intrusive nature of the ads, leading to a negative overall experience, despite some acknowledging the game's potential if the ad frequency were reduced.

    • “This game has no ads, so that's a plus.”
    • “4 stars due to the minimal amount of ads, 15 levels in and no ads.”
    • “Really fun game you get fat and tall then you fight a boss, there's no ads!”
    • “You spend about 10 seconds playing the game and then you spend anywhere from 15-45 seconds watching ads.”
    • “The actual stages take around 30 seconds to complete, if not less, so as you can imagine, you're spending more time watching ads than actually playing games.”
    • “This game is just another ad infested game, with a stolen concept, and the ads are so intrusive, I am sure the 4.1 rating is due to bots, because it should be 3.0 in my opinion.”
  • gameplay79 mentions

    The gameplay is generally criticized for being overly simplistic and repetitive, with many players noting that it consists of short levels frequently interrupted by an excessive number of ads. While some users appreciate the mechanics and find the game enjoyable in short bursts, the overwhelming presence of ads—often appearing mid-level—significantly detracts from the overall experience, leading to frustration and boredom. Overall, the balance between gameplay and advertising is heavily skewed, resulting in a game that feels more like an ad-watching experience than a playable title.

    • “This game has good mechanics and it is nice to play but you gotta do something about the ads.”
    • “Gameplay wise it is exactly as advertised.”
    • “Cool gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay itself is short; I thought it was a little intuitive with building your own city, but it gets redundant after a while.”
    • “Ads mid-level disrupt the flow of gameplay even when the levels are as short as they are; it is annoying.”
    • “Probably the worst game in human existence; the company should be embarrassed with how riddled this game is with ads. I understand wanting to make money, but this game is 90% ads and 10% boring gameplay.”
  • stability28 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues with the game locking up, particularly during ad sequences, leading to frustration and the need to restart the app. Overall, while some enjoy the game, the pervasive technical problems significantly detract from the experience.

    • “It is a great game; it is relaxing and tricky at the same time. It has absolutely no glitches. It is a wow game for me; play it, record it!”
    • “Sometimes you can swipe down to continue, but sometimes the game freezes up at that point.”
    • “The game is a buggy cash-grab.”
    • “It freezes in the middle of the game.”
  • music18 mentions

    The reviews consistently highlight a significant absence of music in the game, which many players find unsettling and detrimental to the overall experience. While some appreciate the lack of music as a way to focus on the gameplay, the overwhelming consensus is that its absence contributes to a monotonous and unengaging atmosphere. Overall, the lack of a soundtrack is a major point of criticism, with many players feeling that it detracts from the game's potential enjoyment.

    • “Normally I hate these knock-off games because the video ads suck, but this one had funny music playing in it which actually made it bearable to watch.”
    • “Now you see Tall Man Run isn't just about action and a killer soundtrack; it's a deep exploration of the human psyche.”
    • “If there were music, and if the ad were to play after the game every couple of levels, this would be a 5-star game.”
    • “Also, no music, storyline, or anything deeply interactive.”
    • “With zero music that makes the game so deafening it makes Helen Keller uncomfortable, your chances of ever reaching the end of the bonus being luck-based, 20% of the levels being locked behind watching advertisements, and the most repetitive and unfun gameplay loop I have ever seen, Tall Man Run is the bare minimum of what you can even consider a game, and it does none of it well.”
    • “No music, no variation in level design.”
  • humor17 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding the absurdity of gaining width and the quirky character designs genuinely hilarious. However, the frequent interruptions from ads, often deemed more entertaining than the gameplay itself, lead to frustration for some users. Overall, while the game has its funny moments, the humor is overshadowed by the ad experience, leaving a divided impression among players.

    • “If you like 10-12 seconds worth of gameplay with really funny characters in between your ads, then this is the game for you.”
    • “Would give it more stars if I could; this game is very fun and hilarious.”
    • “I flew out of bounds while sliding and kept floating over the level past the boss while posing very funny 😂 but game breaking.”
  • graphics12 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the clean visuals and animations, while others criticize them as minimal and laggy. Many users express disappointment over the lack of variety and background music, suggesting that the overall graphical experience does not compensate for repetitive gameplay. Despite some positive remarks, the consensus leans towards the graphics being underwhelming and not enough to sustain player interest.

    • “I like this game because the graphics are very nice, and I hope the main owner of this game can launch more games like this.”
    • “The graphics and animation are better.”
    • “Graphics are pretty alright and can consume some time, but this is still very similar in concept to all of the other mobile games out there sadly.”
    • “The effects and graphics are minimal, and there are so many ads, one of which was vulgar that was repeatedly shown even though I reported it.”

  • story5 mentions

    • “It should be a Hollywood movie; great storyline!”
    • “Also, no music, storyline, or anything deeply interactive.”
    • “I recommend a little bit of character development and mission/level work too.”
