    @Ebuurt There is nothing wrong with this. They need to make money off it, many games use forced ads. They are not using the crummy tactic of releasing a million £5+ plants anymore. I played too and there is not that much of them either.

    There is something wrong with this. I shouldn't have to watch FORCED advertisements to play a game this hell bent on selling me in app purchases. Its simply scummy to have the game systems revolve around hounding the player to spend money and to THEN force players to watch ads just to participate. 

    Not to mention that these ads got around my adblocker. I'm not sure how it did but I'm willing to bet its not good.

    Also I do respect your opinion and thinking about how the game needs to make money is very insightful. I just don't happen to agree I guess.

    They can add an icon to let players have the opportunity to choose whether there will be ads.

    @Ebuurt Tbh nobody is going to buy their in app purchases anyway. They are horrible value and are total scams. Rakes and chili peppers are bad on purpouse just so they can inflate the "value" of their constant "limited time" sales. The levels are also balanced around powerups. They spam zombies into a single lane so you want to use halopeno, they spam zombies in general and have key targets like bird feeder so you use cherry bomb.

    The in app purchases are the problem here imo, not the ads.
