YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!

I bought this on a whim during a sale. While I was using my laptop to play a movie for my students, they saw I had Steam and asked what games I had. Upon seeing the comically large title and hearing the premise, they wanted to try it. It was before a break on a half day, so why not? Luckily it worked on the touchscreen board in my classroom.
Y'all, it kept my 6th graders so occupied. They took turns, gave advice, and had a blast. During break I played more of the easier levels and next half day I let them play again. One boy spend half an hour on one of the harder parking lot levels and the whole class ERUPTED in cheers when he solved it.
This game may not be entertaining for everyone, but as a teacher, it's great for keeping students engaged and entertained before a break. It was so fun watching them enjoy it.

I know "those games" are a thing for other people, but if you're an older fucker like myself who detests crap mobile games, think of this as more like those crappy puzzlers on sites that rhymes with Dongregate, back in heyday of Flash. I loved those puzzlers, you could eat one up in a few hours, brush off the figurative crumbs, and be done with it.

This is like that, except not free. Buy it at a price that says "cheap" to you, whatever price that might be, and you're set. Just, oi, the UI decisions are perverse, you have to know this going in. I have this gut feeling I'm going to go back about how perverse the controls are, because it's such a defining trait of my gameplay in this thing.

I'm also not surprised.

I mean, it's been published by D3Publisher. These guys are okay with some of the most insane decisions. A D3Publisher game is like Cookie Roulette. Is that chocolate chip? Or is it oatmeal raisin?* Or (egads) is that carob? You'll never know until you bite in, and then you're committed.

There is enormous asset reuse in this game. The sounds are cheap and heavily recycled. Turn the sound entirely off, have a mug of something warm and nice to drink (if you're somewhere cold) and it's much more relaxed. Did I talk about how insane the controls are? The insanity bears mentioning at least once more. But it uses spacebar where we might use escape, for one, and controls can not be rebound.

Okay, positive sides, finally: I had a fine enough time. Many of the puzzles were really simple and I got perfect scores in three of five of the games with minimal effort. Now, it's true that I am a towering genius, but you're pretty bright too since you're down here and still reading. I got nearly perfect in the fourth game (the parking lot one) but the last two puzzles are so time-consuming and one wrestles with the controls near-constantly, so it wasn't worth the effort in my mind. The last game barely got noticed, since I was here for puzzles. I'm basically done.

There's a lot more here for some people if they've given over to hounding after achievements, or vulnerable to other sort of dark patterns. There's a gacha machine for in-game titles, some kind of leaderboard for extra puzzles or something, of course and a painful achievement or two for people who need to hound over those things. The worst offender here is for earning 1M coins and in my six hours, I earned 100k. I would need to spend, at that rate, another 50-ish hours if I were that desperate for an "achievement". I would have achieved "monomaniacal cheevo hounding".

So on the balance of things, I really think I'd likely give this a barely-in-the-blue, 51%. The core of the game is a joke which lured me in, and I found satisfaction enough in there anyway, and I am bearing in mind how little I paid for this, and with that calculus entirely I've fetched up with a 51%. It passes. Barely.

I think at this part I'd drop a reference to the fact that I stream mostly indie games and such, but I don't even feel like mentioning it here. Like it'd sully me a bit. But if you like this sort of rambling, kindly check out my profile and drop on by at some point, or say hello in the manner that pleases you.

* I don't hate oatmeal raisin cookies! But don't tell me if you were expecting chocolate chip and you got that, that you wouldn't be disappointed.

After 100%'ing the game, the only thing ive learned is that if these games were a thing i probably would have broken many phones.

A compilation of mobile-ads games. It's a fun way to kill a few hours. And some of the mini games will provide a decent challenge. Would definitely recommend.

I mostly bought it out of principle. I thought the idea was funny to make all those crappy mobile game ads into actual games, but it ended up not being really ALL THAT fun. Pin Pull was probably my least favorite, the math towers ended up being not very fun either, mostly due to waiting for all the animations. Moving the cars and pouring the chemistry vials were probably the best ones.
Overall, it's fine. I would definitely wait for a sale though. I'm a serial completionist so I am 100%ing the game, but after that I can confidently say I will never play it again, but I guess it was worth the money.

6/10 - I'm happy that this exist, but it is not very good unfortunately.

I wish Steam had something between "Recommend" and "Not recommend", as this is how I feel about this game.

This is a compilation of five of those mobile game ads but actually implemented as fully playable games. Artistically speaking I am happy that this sort of thing exists, as scratches that itch, but it also exposes the fact that the games in those ads are not that good.

As such I feel that this game is overpriced. Wait for a sale.

literally all the mobile game ads but real. spectacular
