Un-effing-usable
Hey, Alien Invasion game devs, we get that you want to plaster this nice game engine with ads.
It's pretty inane, but we can get used to a wall of ad icons.
What we CANNOT get used to is ad icons popping up under our navigation spots. I'm left handed, so in the first screenshot, when the icon appeared there I adjusted my finger to use the area above the Speed Boost ad. Seconds later, a new icon appeared in the space I'm now using for navigation, as in the second pic. This goes back and forth, presumably indefinitely.
Most of the time it causes me to miss a swipe - just no movement from the alien. Sometimes it causes the ad to launch.
Pray tell, where the hell do you expect us to navigate this game from? If you're trying to trick us into watching ads, well that's a bridge too far, and I'm on the cusp of uninstalling the app. The way to make us choose to watch ads is to make it worthwhile. For example, when I'm getting 22 candles for each package I grab off the ground, there's ZERO chance I'm watching an ad that gives me 12 candles. 100 is probably my minimum in that case. And that varies as the event progresses, much like the geometric increases on the spend, we need the same on the receive.
But back to the navigation...
The game absolutely knows the screen location we're using for navigation. Stop @#$&ing putting ads there.
Pretty please.
With sugar on top.
Some of us here are software developers. It's damned easy to create this sort of app these days. We will only put up with so much nonsense before we build a replacement.
Thank you.
