Sandy Jam: Sand Puzzle

Super fun game, but I’m deleting bc of an ad trick that this and several other games play. Essentially, you complete a level and you can accept fewer coins or whatever the currency is or watch an ad to get more. Sometimes I watch the ad and sometimes I don’t. Unfortunately, often when I choose not to watch the ad, I’m still forced into an ad break and then get no benefit of watching. It’s yucky and feels like a bait and switch.

This game actually is winnable, at least until around lvl 530. Uninstalled and reinstalled to start from the beginning again. Highly recommended, though be smart and play it and any of its ilk on airplane mode to cut out the annoying ads. Two notes to devs: the bucket percentage color changing to yellow when you’re on the last 5? I get it but the color you chose is a warning, not a reward. Try gold, not caution yellow. And when I fail a level, please only make the ‘hey, you can use the soft cheats we offer’ popup should only ever happen once. Most of the time I want to solve the puzzle on my own, as intended. And if it’s intended to use the cheat to make it through (cough cough 530ish) then that’s a badly designed puzzle. Leave me alone so I can play.
