(NOTE: This starts out describing this amazing game…but read to the end…there’s a SERIOUS CATCH you should be forewarned about!)
At first I got a little excited because I saw there were color palettes, numerous brush sets, and there are even many different default shapes to start from if you know what you’re ultimately going for in your creation (ie tall & skinny, short and wide, etc) and want to begin halfway through the process of sculpting, in a flash.
So, I started sculpting away…you can even select with a slider, how pliable…“wet” your clay is when you’re working with it! I was getting very happy very fast. Sounds like something you could accidentally stay up all night immersed in, huh?!
As they say…
“If it sounds too good to be true…”
So, It took me about a minute to sculpt my vase - during that time, two commercials 15 sec. each.
I fired the vase, it looked great! - just as I was browsing the colors and brushes….for about another 30 seconds, barely getting into browsing…a 30 second commercial started.
THEN, I barely had time to quickly grab a color and start painting the vase…got 3/4 the way up painting solid color…and another 30 second commercial started.
So basically you play the game for 30 seconds and then forced to endure 30 seconds of TOTALLY UNRELATED ads.
I completely shut it off..
COMPLETELY DISGUSTED at the GREED in these new developers who make apps now. I MIGHT be able to tolerate a 30 second ad between every COMPLETED vase I create! Hey, I can grab a soda! But this is the most insane amount of advertising I’ve ever witnessed….and endured for a while JUST to see how bad it got with the ads. MUCH worse than I imagined.
And nope, sorry. NO WAY to even PAY THEM to REMOVE the ads!! I guess there’s more money made in an app that is 50% advertising time, than money made from allowing their users to pay a small fee to get rid of the ridiculous distractions…..like any DECENT developer would do, who ultimately has their customer’s entertainment satisfaction in mind…(and they can still make a reasonable amount of money, as well.)
THESE guys are just BLATANTLY GREEDY and I hope they GO BROKE from this app and any others they’ve published using this sleazy, tactic...
Who better deserves THAT dose of karma?
