Doodle Alchemy

An add as soon as you go into level 1... seriously? That's an absolute joke. If there's an add thar soon then I'm ABSOLUTELY not going to bother with this game. I thought, huh, maybe it's a fluke, I'll close it and reopen it, nope, an add as soon as you load the level. I get it's a free game, but seeing an add that soon to a game you've just installed and never played before DOES NOT give the right message to the player. I guarantee you'll spend more time watching ads than playing the game.

I've been playing for less than 5 minutes, and I've already seen 3 ads and been hit with a pop-up to rate (how would I know yet if I like the game?), plus banner ads. One ad hit me before I even got to the first game screen; it was the first thing I saw after clicking play in the top menu. I thought the ad was the tutorial for a moment. It's a bad look. From what I can tell, the game is a pretty basic combination alchemy game otherwise.

Same old element combining game. Except that the elements get reorganized if you exit and re-enter the game (they appear in the order you discover them while you play, then get reshuffled into the game's preferred order if you exit; it makes methodical play very difficult unless you do it all at once). And the ads are over-the-top intrusive. Way too obnoxious and aggressive. It's a dollar to remove them, but the game isn't worth a dollar to me, so bye.
