  • Review Update (July/2024)

    My original 1 Star review titled “TOO MANY ADS” stated: “The game, once a source of fun and relaxation, is now filled with ads, overshadowing actual gameplay time. Additionally, it’s not optimized for larger phone models, leading to gameplay issues. Uninstalled.” In response, the developer mentioned: “In the latest version we have done a considerable amount of work to support larger phone models and the various notches etc. We don’t think it’s a fair characterisation of ads, they are available to earn additional Krill, boosters, continues if you wish to opt-in to them. If you prefer not to engage with the rewarded ads then you will occasionally see interstitial ads to enable us to keep supporting the game and if you’ve made any purchase (which you obviously haven’t) these are removed. It’s difficult to reconcile how you can simultaneously complain that a game is not optimised for the latest model whilst you also don’t wish to make any purchase or view any ads to support the cost of that maintenance.” Here’s my updated review based on the developer’s response: My initial review was based on the state of the game before the 7.0 update. The game was not optimized for newer phones and crashed frequently, which deterred me from making any in-app purchases. The prevalence of interstitial ads was also a major issue, appearing after every round and overshadowing gameplay. Other reviewer’s experienced this as well. I understand the costs involved in maintaining an app, and I do support apps through purchases and subscriptions. However, I couldn’t justify spending money on a game that wasn’t optimized for my device. While I recognize there are opt-in ads, the interstitial ads were too frequent and intrusive. I was looking in the app to find a way to remove ads through payment, but did not see anything stated. In the Krill Store, no such statement is there. If there was an option to remove ads through an in-app purchase, it wasn’t clearly stated. I appreciate the recent update, which seems to have resolved the optimization issues and reduced the frequency of interstitial ads. I’m willing to update my rating based on these improvements. However, the developer’s response came across as confrontational and lacked empathy. A more constructive reply would have acknowledged the problem, shown appreciation for feedback, and offered a solution without being defensive. Example of a better response: “Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the ads and optimization issues have affected your experience. We’ve recently made updates to support larger phone models and reduce the impact of ads. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll continue to work on improving the game. We hope you’ll consider giving it another try.” Thank you for replying to my review. I have updated my rating score to 3 stars.

    I used to play this game all the time around ~10 years ago and recently redownloaded it. It’s such a fun game, so simple, yet challenging! I also love that it doesn’t have any in-game ads (you can watch ads to get extras like respawns and stuff) but no ads between gameplay. I love this game so much, and the wonderful soundtrack is so nostalgic. Highly recommend!
  • Love it
