Sled Surfers

Ok, the game is really fun!! Now don’t take this as me bashing the app because I’m not. You’re going to need to buy double rocket use. Then most likely buy add free but you’re still going to need to watch adds if you want to play for a while and to upgrade quickly. I say fine but if you pay for add free then at least make adds shorter or option for buyers to skip like after 10/15 seconds. Then you most likely will have to buy extra tickets, and with that it’s really only worth it if you buy like the 200 one I believe or better. You go through a lot of tickets to get through a level. They do give a lot of free coins and diamonds but with the diamonds you will need to watch a video every now and then. They have options to get triple coins for a fee for a few hours but I’d rather just watch the videos for that. It’s sad that all these games take advantage of our addictive game playing. I understand they are a Buisness and that’s to make money but seriously I think instead of like 50$ for an ultimate package of coins, tickets etc. if they actually charged like a 1$ then most people would still spend about 50$ but not feel like wth did I just spend my money on lol. And most likely will still spend money. Maybe you get someone to do the 50$ once but once they realize that that purchase didn’t last long they won’t do it again.

I like this game. It’s fun, the penguin is cute and it’s fun to try and get further than I did the last time. Sled upgrades are cool but then just when I got to the point where my sled is all decked out, I leveled up but my sled went back down to zero. It would have been nice to enjoy the fancy sled a bit more. Longer runs… more obstacles. Just leveling up and starting over with a new sled makes it feel like I am just being manipulated into watching more ads. I’ll watch the ads, but leave the sled. Why not give players a choice of different types of sleds, then they could upgrade a different one but keep the old one. I know, you want it to take the time of upgrading the sled to get through the level… if the sled is already top notch, then players go through the levels go too fast and don’t have to watch as many ads. So make the levels longer and put in a quick ad break like every other game does , every 120 seconds or so.

This game is fun, don’t get me wrong. There is lots of mindless fun to be had when playing this game. It is a very satisfying gameplay loop that keeps you engaged with upgrades, speed, and airtime. Sticking the landing will always feel good. That’s where it ends. Where the tables turn you’ll start to see the evil amounts of greed put into this predatory game. Just when you think that the annoying amounts of advertisements would be enough to just play one more run, you run out of tickets. What are these tickets? They are the #1 way predatory developers try to shovel money out of you because shoving advertisements down your throats wasn’t enough for their burning pockets. These “tickets” limit how much you can play and attempt you to grab your wallet to spend money to keep playing this game. What is essentially a Unity asset-flip is begging you to get on your hands and knees and give them more money. This is aimed at kids to beg their parents for 10 more dollars to keep playing on their iPads. These types of developers do not care about you, they just want to find the mode predatory way to siphon money from you and your kids. This game is not “ad supported” it is “predatory practice supported” and this practice should be illegal. If you have ads being shoved in the faces of many, you should not charge to keep playing the game. I do not advise anybody play this game unless you know how to circumvent the greedy practice and keep playing without giving any more money to the developers.
