Connect Word: Association Game

Pornographic ads showing oral sex

I have to use too many hints because it is a bit difficult plus there are too many breaks..but i like the background music

good to keep the mind quick

Fast paced and fun!

Why did you add anagrams? I have been playing this game for years. It was fun up until then. Going to have to find a different game now

One of my favorites but I wish there was a no add option

lots of words keeps you busy

I had a different matching game with only 6 rows that was somewhat easier. however I like the "thinking" this game makes you do.

lol forgot I said I was uninstalling this last year. Actually just deleted it now. The new timer and limit for how many videos you can watch for coins is stupid.

I like the new updates to the games, but there are too many ads. It's irritating and that is a precursor to uninstalling. How about an ad-free option?

good game

entertaining.

This game had the potential to be great. But for a newcomer, it gets ridiculously hard ridiculously fast. Some of the categories make absolutely no sense and are not intuitive. Some of them, it feels like there's no solutions. Want to use a hint? Sure, but if you have to leave the app for any reason? Those hints don't stick around. And the intrusive ads! It feels so anti-player that there's literally no point in keeping this game.

This game does wonders for your Brain

EDIT: They changed it. You no longer get the rewards unless you complete the level under the time limit, which is usually around 2 minutes. that's not enough time. seriously thinking about uninstalling.

I go through word games pretty quickly, because I play a lot and reach my peak. This one was pretty fun and challenging before it got too competitive (or connections became obscure). It's a clever concept. Connections aren't always obvious, so realizing a connection can give a "gotcha" feeling. Not sure if there's an ad-free version.

While I enjoy the game play, I am uninstalling this ap because of the ads. the app has a timer that forces an add about every 2 or 3 minutes. it also forces ads between every level of play. The biggest reason for dissatisfaction is that there is no way to elect to pay to stop them. Their only contact method is to write an email. I DO NOT recommend this until they deal with the ad issue.

Don't bother downloading it is horrible. The number of ads is ridiculous. literally , every few minutes interrupting the game , not even waiting for you to complete a level.. i would have been happy to purchase an ad free version , but they don't offer that. Seriously, don't download. It is nothing but frustration. i will be uninstalling immediately

wish level I am would cross over to all my devices. it so frustrating to start over everytime

Started out easy and has gotten difficult. Still a good game though.

After I win give me a minute to look at the words that go together so I can learn something.

Thrilling

what can't I play the game you showing in the ad

I enjoy this game, especially since I also learn things. However, too many ads, and now it has a timer on the main game. I don't like that.

challenging

I love mind games .

havent decided yet

This game was great until they added a TIMER. No longer relaxing, so not as much fun. I've done over 1000 levels, but now I just do the daily.

some connections are not obvious so it keeps me thinking

Used to be good, now after every level there's a minute long ad that forcibly takes you to the Google App Store. It takes me longer to watch the ads then to go through a level. Ridiculous.

it would be great to be able to pay for ad free. the ads are miserable

10-15-26 they added a timer to each level, so much for relaxing and getting rewards. uninstalling 5-15-26 more ads then ever now 😩 12-24-25 I haven't had any issues... just miss the 4 tiles across. if it switched to 4 and 5 that would be great! update: 6-25-25 seems glitches were fixed! phew.. I am enjoying this game. thank you!

too many ads

Causes you to think about word relationships, so can be challenging without being discouraging.

the game is good, but it you get stuck there is no way to get help as it dies not recognise internet connection. shame this is not a sound effect issue, but aconndction issue perod, to get help whrn stuck on a level.

I detest the timer feature that you added. So uninstalled.

awesome game

Good game. Unfortunately, I had the correct grouping of words and ended up having to get hints just to find out I was right.

this game has been ruined by incessant adverts. I've just completed 5 levels none of which has registered. I'm now going to delete it

horrible the ads are out of control. can't play anymore because of that!!!!! too bad because the games are fun but not worth it at all

Ever since they added a timer I no longer want to play this game. they took one of my favorite games and ruined it.

This is great for fans of the NYT Puzzle called Connections!

I'm really enjoying these, it's actually kind of hard and I enjoy the tiered daily challenges. However, I have no problem paying for a game when I enjoy it but there it literally no option to pay to remove ads which is kind of a turn off. There will be ads mid session after you accomplish a grouping. I noticed there are reviews about a timer now, I don't have it in my game and I really hope that I never do because I would hate playing if I'm being timed. This is supposed to be relaxing.

I loved this app, but then it got this update and I lost all my progress and the ads are worse than before. I uninstalled.

Changing from 3 stars to 1. Game is fun and challenging w/chance to collect books as rewards. But can't register so a tech glitch or upgrading phones erases all progress. A timer has now been added that I can't beat despite usually finishing in top 5-10 %. So I can keep playing w/out rewards or watch more of the constant ads that disrupt every game. NOT watching more ads so I no longer get to collect books. The clock has ruined this game. 😪

Fun

fun game, makes you think

fun, challenging, sometimes hard

trying to figure out the words partners makes me excited to be using my mind at my age. I am 65 and I like the challenge.

I am absolutely in love with your game but for some reason I haven't been able to open it for 2 days now!!! it just wouldn't open and that's it! what do i do with this? UPD almost 3 months later nothing has been fixed 🤷 the app still doesn't open. i was asked to wait for the updates,but i have no idea how much longer...

*edit* you've ruined it even further by now making levels timed so you're under pressure to complete it rather than just enjoying it in peace!

This game used to be fun and relaxing. Then the ads started getting more frequent, longer and right in the middle of a level. Now suddenly every level is timed, this is very triggering for my anxiety and had taken all the fun out of playing.

the game is fun, but the ads are out of control. spend more time waiting for ads to end....frustrating

From 4 stars to uninstalled. With the updates came an 8 hour ads for hints blockage and a TIMER that I couldn't find a way to get rid of. One of the things I loved about this game was that it wasn't timed and/or move limited. After a long streak of playing it daily, I have uninstalled it. If the developers get rid of the hint availability blockage and the forced timer, I'll happily reinstall this game and update my review.

the ads never close...

awesome game

another game to keep a retired mind active

fun game, but three or four ad breaks a game wasting 2-3 minutes is too much. tired of the ads and wasted time. I get you need money and maybe between games but ever few moves is ridiculous.

relaxing and fun

my app quit working with the last updat...other than the horrendous ads I played every day...what a shame

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - you say you can play offline -

love problem solving

This was a favorite game of mine, but now it won't open. Please fix it. Thank you!

good fun

great fun

I really like this game but WAY TOO MANY ADS that is why I only gave 1 star. It feels like I'm watching more ads than actually playing the game. Why don't you give us option to pay for 'NO ADS'? Or have ads after every 10 levels played.

Excellent game ty

nice game

This game is not about playing, it's about watching ADS every minute

Ads after every screen ruined this for me. It's also incredibly frustrating when a lot of the time I will "x" out of an ad, only for it to take me to the website/app and when I go back to the game, it refreshes/reloads the entire game!

Starts out fun, ends with ads. At the beginning, you'll get an ad after completing the board As you advance they become more frequent. It got to the point that each row completion gave me an ad. The ads themselves can't be closed either without going back and forth between the game and play store multiple times. It becomes 2+ minutes of ads for 30 seconds of game play.

espectacular

twice had ads pop up that were flogged by my phone security as dangerous.

More and more, whenever I try to play an ad for a day I missed on the daily puzzle, it says I'm not connected to the Internet and I know I am. It even does this when I take my WiFi off and I'm connected to data, which I know I have plenty of. Please fix this bug.

connect word really makes you think. the items often fit in more than one category making it more difficult and more interesting.

better words and vocabulary items

Of all of the word/puzzle games that I've downloaded, this has become my favorite. Some levels are definitely challenging, but enjoyable. I've already completed all levels (over 5000) and have been playing random levels until they add more. If there was one thing I could change, it would be to purchase advertisement-free option. The advertisements are a bit out of hand. I don't even mind advertisements between levels, but I would've gladly paid to not have my game interrupted as I was playing.

use your brain to keep it active

This gets your brain working!

so far I like it very much

I love the game. HOWEVER, I don't like the scam ads they show. I'm ok to get ads as I'm not paying for the app, but lots of their ads are scam ads like the ones where Oprah Winfrey says to drink a baking soda concoction to lose weight. And similar ads for losing weight, changing your body, etc. If you get the app and get the ads, just ignore them! For me, part of the game is going through the motions to get out of all of the ads. 😅

this game crashes a lot!!! It reloads but my progress is lost

the game was glitching very bad and I had to deleted the app and upload again...I was on level 80 and now I am back to the begin o the game !!!!

Hi! l love this game. It's changing and it does keep my interest. There is however one big problem... There are so many ads it's absolutely crazy!!! I have never played a game with so many ads. You get ads when you open the game and then while playing the game and they can last up to a minute. If you are trying to connect a word and you think you have the connection and a minute ad comes on you lose your train of thought.

Скучно и глупо. Плюс до кучи рекламы, которую не получиться закрыть. Не тратьте время на эту игру. Ерунда

fun and challenging!

I understand needing ads, but when I watch one so I can get an extra turn or if I need a hint, I hate having to spend 30 secs watching then take another 15+ secs trying to exit the ad! I will never download an app from watching an ad. Also, too many times can I not exit ad, but then the app restarts and I never get my hint that I spent 60 secs trying to get in the first place!! And ads when trying to go to main page or starting a game only to have to restart app cuz stuck in ad

while the game is great. helps stimulate my mind. the actual app sucks. it keeps shutting down or running adds every other minute.

many of the choices apply to more than one category, so you pick a category that should be correct, but is not. you run out of life quickly and have to watch very long ads

Always crashing. I can't play bcoz it doesn't open.

It's fun and challenging

on level 81 after finishing the level, you get a special round where you're supposed to sort all the words used to describe africa in one collumn. And i did... til it came to the row with the types of houses. you choose between Bungalow, Hut, Apartment, Tent and Cabin. Guess which one this game deems correct. At first while seeing that i thought to myself "surely not" but indeed. Promoting racist steryotypes on a game??? Africa, the 2nd largest continent in the world, is just huts and desert.

really enjoy seeing the different combinations and how far I can go in solving them

there's no way out of the ads except to close the app and restart!

fun to play with my child to her vocabulary

Cool game but ads right in the bottom of the screen are horrible. Whenever I'm trying to bring up navigation bar I tap on the ad. I didn't find the way to turn it off.

less ads

Too many ads

Challenging, engaging and always learning something new and interesting. I am through to level 860. The ads detract from the game otherwise it would be a 5☆

The game starts posting levels that are not solvable after a few rounds. I confirmed this with the hints where the game will highlight the 2-4 visible options in a category while the last options are still off of the screen.

This game is fun and challenging.

Love the app but hate how frequently the ads pop up! I would totally pay for an ad-free version...

This is a very funny and challenging game to play. If you love word games, you'll love this one definitely! It makes you really think too, which is fun!

I enjoyed this it was a challenging but I'm removing it because it has adverts during the actual game play which is very annoying. I don’t mind adverts between play but not during. Shame.

Fun game but there are so many typoes... sometimes a letter is missing or swapped with another but other times it's less subtle, like spelling "roap" instead of "rope"? Disappointing for a game that has the premise of learning words. UPDATE: I'm under the impression that the new Picture Levels use generative AI and devs have not responded to my email. Stealing art is not cool, so I'm uninstalling. I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't people but AI coming up with the words to match.

harder than you would think, makes you really put on your thinking cap. Fun and challenging

I feel that it's good 👍 in stimulation of the brain 🧠 if you have had a stroke...it's hard but a rewarding Game..and can be a little stressful on your brain, but it's worth it in reaching your cognitive levels...God Bless 🙌

Riddled with unskipable ads update: I don't mind ads on a free game you have to but over half of the ads don't have a close button you have to fully close the app and relaunch it. If you resolve this issue and have ads that actually close when they're finished i will change the rating.

I like the game, but a major flaw bothers me. if I use my coins on hints and turn off the game (gotta work or just do something else) the color on hinted words reset. So it's like I spent my coins for nothing and i would have to spend coins on hints again.

The game itself is great, but the ads are frequent and long. I would happily pay for an ad-free version, but that doesn't seem to be an option. So I can't play for longer than 10 minutes or so because I get frustrated with all the ads and end up just closing the app.

fun game and challenging however after any natch i have to sit through an ad. id be okay if it was after each level but its EVERY match. theres no way to turn ads off either. will give more stars IF the ad situation gets looked into. will not be playing further if the ads continue so frequently.

app needs an update. keeps saying not connected to internet and my internet is perfectly fine.

Ads are HORRIBLE. There definitely needs to be a no ad option, I would pay for it because the forced breaks and ads are very very heavy.

Frustrating Gameplay Silly connections and unprompted ads in the middle of a round make for a frustrating and ultimately unenjoyable experience.

I like this game. I wanted to continue playing but the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. I would gladly pay to remove ads but thats not yet an option. I have spent as much time watching ads as playing the game. literally every 2-3 mins there's an ad. Even skipping asap, it is too many. There are way more options to play this sort of game without this amount of ads.

I really liked this game. But, it frequently has issues. I recently Uninstalled it to hopefully fix 1 of the issues. It seems to have fix it, but now I've lost all of my progress. If it can't be restored, I'll just find something else. The number of ads is ridiculous and they have been 2.5 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a way to save progress & then when you try to reinstall. Everything is gone.

I gave it a 2 because it's fun to play. Otherwise, it gets a 0. I played three games, and an "as break" interrupted my game in the third one. Bye bye!

I used to love playing this game. But the ads have become ridiculous to the point you can't even play it. the majority of your time spent on it is all ads. so goodbye deleting this app today.

It's one thing to have ads but it's another when you have scamming ads. Those weight loss ads are complete scams and it's ignoring!

A lot of the time I open the game there are blank boxes so I don't know if I'm in Trivia or a level. Yes, ads ok but they Don't Close when X is shown it's taking me to Amazon or some other sites. It's infuriating I give up or get out of the game!!

Loved the game until Level 13. Spent all day trying to figure it out. Used 4 hints. Finally went online to find an answer key. One entire category was missing and even after a restart the game wouldn't recognize the correct combination of words for auto locations.

simple not a lot of junk happening in the background I like it. I tried another app just looking for a simple word puzzle game and now I have a llama and a house.

Like the app, maybe tone down the amount of ads and the length of them...new update today, still way too many and too long 🙄 Edit, I got a new phone and can't find a way to sync my game, don't really want to start over, how about you look at other reviews 🙄

First six months I rated this game at five stars;I recommended it dozens of times.An update made it buggy but gradually got worse than ever.Now the ads scream & grunt at full volume,& can't be silenced; have to squint for up to 3 minutes to see when the hidden continue bar briefly shows, and still game restarts or opens shopping apps several times during a single level, during game play,NOT when a hint is requested! I give up.Uninstalled after 170+ levels and over 1110 puzzles.

I like the word association, but dislike the picture. I often can't recall the subject once it is in picture form.

I love word challenges and you learn new words that are related. never too old to learn

I love that this game actually doesnt shove apps down your throat immediately and without a timer its really relaxing i highly recommend for people who enjoy sorting and puzzles!

I'm taking my review from 5 stars to 3 because you changed how many hints I can aquire to help me complete difficult levels. Having to wait 8 hours to get more hints is some kind of BS. If I'm willing to sit through ads to get my hints why does it matter how many I try to get? Now I have levels left incomplete and I can't stay competitive. This has been one of my favorite word games until now.

Why are there limited coins available if you watch ads? When did this change? Have had enough problems getting out of ads now this.

this WOULD be my go-to word association game if y'all created a "no ads" package. I'd PAY if it were less than $8!! uninstalling bc of the ADS!!! I'll check back from time to time to see if y'all ever DO make a no ads option

So far it's fun but the buttons/boxes are need to be debugged because I have had to try several times to move the boxes/buttons.

CONSTANT ADS! Especially in the middle of your game! Takes all the fun away.Most ads take you out of the game and you have to restart the game again with ANOTHER ad!You can watch ads to get hints but as soon as the ad takes you out of the game and you need to restart, you've lost all your hints! So then you have to start over and all your time you spent watching all these ads to get the hints was just a waste of time! Honestly I think they're doing it on purpose so you have to watch MORE Ads!!!

I truly loved this game and played it daily. Now all of the sudden the app won't open. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and its,still not working months later. I'm not the only one this has happened to. It's so disappointing after having played for so long to no longer be able to access the game. if it doesn't wind up being fixed and I need to uninstall I don't think I will bother reinstalling. I don't feel like putting in all that effort to risk the same results.

Fun game but you get 3-4 ads in the middle of gameplay and then one when you finish. If the ads weren't so frequent and intrusive the game would be 5 stars. The game used to show at most one when you were playing and then one when you finished a level but now I spend more time watching ads than playing the game.

The ads were annoying but with a recent update, it seems like they've decreased the frequency and I haven't noticed any game interruption. I usually learn at least one new word every time I play and I love that. ETA: The game interrupting ads are back. I don't mind the ones in between rounds but the ad break ones during game play are annoying. I will update my review again once they are eliminated or an ad-free option becomes available bc without those interruptions, the game is great

The ads have gotten out of control. Really enjoyed this game at first, but it's become very frustrating now. You only get 50 coins per won level, and each "hint" costs 900 coins. Even if you double it by watching ads, that's 9 levels for 1 hint that only highlights 2 words as having an association. To top it all off, after the first 3 categories are completed, a mandatory ad break is forced on you after EACH completed category after. Disappointed and annoyed.

Entertaining puzzles with unusual categories that keep it challenging. I really like it except for two elements: ad breaks pop up in the middle of the puzzle every few minutes, causing this old lady to lose her focus and gain of thought, and the message after solving that claims I solved it faster than a random percentage of other people when there's no timer and no indication of whether it includes the ad breaks. Not sure how long I'll continue, just saw another similar puzzle I think I'll try.

This game concept is great, but the way they go about it is awful! They don't give you all the tiles right away so you will have 4 of 5 ready and can't get the 5th one until you move others out of the way and then new ones drop from the top. And when new ones drop, it shifts all your rows so ones you have grouped together get mixed up. That's so annoying! Also, the hint button will most of the time just highlight the ones you already have in a row that you know go together... It's pointless.

The game was fun until latest update. It froze and made me have to uninstall and reinstall the game. Of course after that my progress along with hard work was lost. Now can only watch a set number of ads to get a reward. What a great ploy to MAKE you spend money. I didn't mind watching the ads if I chose to and would get a reward but now that option has been limited in an attempt to make you spend money. It is becoming less and less fun :(

Unbearable! The game starts off being enjoyable, but as you progress the connections become laughably tenuous. Then the real kicker are the ads, they're relentless. They're also horrible ads, the type that either advertise games that are completely different if you are stupid enough to install them, or give you no indication how long you have to suffer them. They appear mid game too, so it just ruins the little the game had to offer. I had to uninstall it.

Sorry...but I have to jump on the bandwagon.. the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. It's not the amount of ads per se, it's that each ad has 4-5 different steps to get through. With all the games available to me, it's just not worth it. Too bad cuz I REALLY like the game. Update: it really feels like I'm seeing more ads than working on puzzles.

I enjoy the games but the amount of ads is just ridiculous. Some ads are only up for 5 seconds and you can close them easily. Others last for ages and you have to click crosses and arrows in different parts of the screen to make the disappear! It's so frustrating and time consuming. And then sometimes the app just restarts while you're watching an ad and you have to watch it all over again. There is no option to pay to get rid of the ads either so it won't be long until I give up playing.

It's a super fun game and can be challenging, which I appreciate. The ads are a bit much, but my issue with the game is that on several occasions I have had the correct items lined up, but it won't accept it. I'm forced to use clues, even though they aren't needed until it provides clues for the row in question. It's super frustrating as I then have to watch at least 2 long ads before being allowed to complete the game. Sadly, it's happened enough times now that I'm uninstalling it.

This game is fun, BUT the ads, or lack thereof are making it so I no longer want to play. You earn coins to purchse hints by watching ads. Frequently, I receive a message "connection lost" so it won't play an ad. However, when I check my internet connection, there is no issue. THEN I continue with the board and an ad pops up. I understand ads allow the app to be free, but - they are too frequent in the middle of a board, and often not available (for days) when requesting one to get a hint.

After hundreds of levels and a multiple month long streak, I unfortunately found myself unable to open the app. I tried absolutely everything. After almost two months, I have given up and uninstalled the app. After reinstalling, I can access it again. Of course, I lost everything (but I did already know this would happen). Now I'm nervous about restarting because what if it happens again?

I am getting ready to uninstall this game. It is my favorite game. BUT not only is it costing me an arm and a leg for hints, but nearly a month after my ad free period ran out, I've had a day of a thousand ads. Literally, I'll have one short game interrupted three times by ads. And most of the ads are exceptionally, ridiculously long.

The game itself is enjoyable, but ruined by ads forced on you with no options to pay to remove them. There's multiple "ad breaks" per level which interrupted the game, before and after levels, hints, etc. Many a minute or more and auto open the playstore. The game itself is 5 star worthy but the ads completely ruin the experience. I personally am also uninstalling as I refuse to support such practices. Edit, let me know when you add the pay to remove ads and I'll reinstall it.

Insane amount of ads. Fail a mode? punished by ads. Back out of a level? Ads. Randomly launches them at you and gives no reward for being forced to watch extremely at least a minute long long ads, which then re-directs you to the playstore. If you picked this game up off of mistplay, the redirections constantly force mistplay to disconnect, causing you to lose exp. Not worth it.

The gameplay is great & I really enjoy the game and the more esoteric vocabulary they often use. Like others, I find the ads annoying but I get that's how the developers make money. My issue is the ads they use - Gossip Harbor. We see a woman & child being abused, suffering, even having horrific wounds. There's no reason for this, and if I could do or say something directly to THAT game's developers, I would. I am uninstalling the game not because of the game itself, but bc of their ad choices

enjoyable and just challenging enough to not get bored but the amount of ads, and the length of them, completely ruins it. If I like an app I'll pay for premium because I don't want to watch ads, this doesn't even give you the option to pay to remove them. Uninstalling because I'm spending more time watching ads than playing the game

Good enough game but not worth the adverts. I understand that games have to have adverts in order for them to make a profit, but the fact that they are between every level or everytime you temporarily leave the game to come back to complete a game you already started just means it isn't fun anymore. Additionally they are so long, go on for ages. Ruined the game for me

has the potential to be good but is not yet. I love word challenges but there are long ads, you have to watch a ton of them to get hints/help on most levels. you earn nothing to help you with the next level. I'm done watching over 1 minute long ads just to get hints because I didn't think of that combo of words. i want to play the game to pass time not watch more ads than actual game play. uninstalling. let me know if you ever fix this.

It's a good game. The major problem I have is that the ads sometimes cause the game to stop and close the app on its own. Also, a lot of the levels have repeat categories and themes, which become boring once you've done them 10 times or more.

Edit: I've now played this through just over 100 levels. It's basically an ad delivery mechanism with a little bit of game play time. I enjoy the challenge and it's a nice change from the typical match 3 games that are all over. Very heavy on ads, I'm ok with ads between levels but the ones in the middle of play are just plain annoying.

The game is made well. Runs smoothly and makes sense. However... Finish a level? Watch an ad Want to switch to the main menu? Watch an ad. Need a hint? Watch an ad. Use your hint? Watch another ad. Taking your time solving a level? Take too long and endure an ad break mid game. It's just too much.

Has potential & was gonna give 3 stars; amount of ads made me choose otherwise. Banner ads started appearing upon finishing level 2, then upon level 3 completion starts a video ad that plays everytime you finish a level, & finally around level 5 a video ad that plays in every level midgame (ad breaks) begins showing up. Last thing I need is to lose my patience from disruptive ads when already using more brain power & focus for this time-consuming puzzle game.😓 Uninstalled after level 10.

The game itself is simple, fun, and satisfying, but it has frequent intrusive ads that can't be removed as there is no paid version of the app. Sometimes they pop up in the middle of the game before you even finish the level, then it forces ANOTHER ad on you after the game. All of the ads rammed down my throat makes me want to just close the app.

I really like this game but the excessive ads are just ridiculous. After each level and mid level. On top of that I just had to watch ads for each of the following things I tried to do: get a hint, go back to the main menu, restart the level. I must have watched 10 ads within 15 mins. Looking for an alternative. EDIT: I couldn't find an alternative that I liked as much so I went back anyway, despite all the ads. It's a great game but it stops at around level 60 (can't remember). Disappointed.

Ad Grab. BY the time you reach level 9, they're not giving you words that go together, so you have to watch an ad for a hint. 90 seconds. For me, the ad played, then black screen came up. Closed the app and re-opened, and what a surprise--no hint. Uninstalling. It's too bad; I liked the challenge, but that kind of stuff seems underhanded to me.

It's an interesting and fairly challenging game. But I have 2 major issues with it. #1: Ads during the levels. I understand you need ads for the revenue they generate, but having the between levels and in the middle of the level is a bit overkill. #2: The color scheme. The beige on off-white is hard on the eyes and it gets hard to focus after a while. Is there a way the designers could make it to where you could change the background colors? Having more contrast would help a lot.
