Dune!

First of all, I have a question. So, now, when you first enter the game, you need to confirm those little things, then press continue, or something like that. At first, I though it was just for the terms of use and like bugs that could slow down the device. (Meaning it will load slowly.) So, as most people, I ignored them and just carried on with the game, playing around, changing skins, background, etc. Then, today, I took the time to read them and to see what they actually have to say. The first o e was as I expected, the terms of use/service. But then I moved on to the second one, and what did I see? “I agree to play for free and that my PERSONAL DATA is COLLECTED VIA the SDK tools built into the application.” WHAT. THE. FLIP. You can’t just go and collect personal data from adults, more so, CHILDREN. Now, Every. Single. Time, I play this game, I feel un-safe. Please stop this. Oh, and also, I will not be playing the game till this is fixed. For the rest of this review, it’s the adds. Most of the time, I can’t even play the game before and add loads in to collect your interest. Thank you. Have a nice day. Good day.

At first I loved this game. There was not to many ads and the game was super satisfying. A couple WEEKS after playing the game there was so many ads I could not even play for a straight minute. Sometimes I would even start a game and then there would be an ad in the middle and I would die immediately. Also the reviving situation. When I died the button would come up. If my score was low I would just click out to restart. Most of the time I had to watch an ad anyway. Some of the ads were 30 seconds then you clicked the X button and it was another 30 seconds of boredom. Enough about ads for now. One of the problems is that when I found this game in the AppStore it says 12+. I am older than that so I downloaded it. When it finished installing I go on the app and a white screen appears saying I must be 15 and have read the private policy. I didn’t do either of those but I continued on anyway. I got on and the game was fine. After a couple DAYS it just kept glitching out. It is not my phone because my phone is literally the iPhone XS. I also feel like there should be a button to turn off the other peoples balls. They can b very distracting as well as annoying. If you could just add to setting something to turn it off that would be great. Sorry my review was so long but there is still lots more issues. I do not recommend this app especially if on your phone you have to pay for it.

Dune used to be one of my favorite time sinks, it really was "the smoothest game" but now that they have ratcheted the difficulty up (by making the required angle of landing so shallow) it has become incredibly jarring and frustrating. Not to mention that if you hit a certain area on the downslope, your ball bounces and hits the upslope at too steep of an angle, causing an automatic failure. The game has you unlock more backgrounds, balls, and hill textures by completing certain objectives in-game. For instance: revive 20 times for a particular new ball. The problem is, they made it ridiculously difficult, if not impossible. When I started working on this one in particular, it was simply annoying; you have to watch an advertisement to revive (this is understandable), but when you 'die' a second time, you have to watch ANOTHER ad. If you skip that ad or close app, the revival you just used doesn't count towards the unlock. That was irritating, to say the least, but I muscled through double advertisements. This is irritating to me because I know the Dev is getting paid twice for what should be a single ad revival, as it is in just about every other ad-supported game. Now I'm at 17 of 20 revives, and the game will not let me revive at all anymore. The purple 'Revive' button is entirely gone. If I can't unlock this ball, I'm automatically precluded from unlocking others in the future (EG: use X number of different balls).

This game has been one of my top favorites for a long time. I think t is so fun and I am addicted. It is kind of easy but has some really difficult points to the game as well. This has got to be one of my all time favorite games. I have one problem though. This game has so many ads!! First off, I know that free games like these are supposed to have ads, but this is just bad. I have other free games on my phone that are just as fun but don’t have nearly as many ads. This game has a revive feature to so if you die and are about reach your high score or something and want to be revived you can use this. The price to use it is just to watch an ad. One time I used the revive feature because I was about to pass my high score and was very excited but the ad didn’t let me X out of it. So I had to restart my game and I had watched that video for nothing. This has happened to me several times. And it is not because of the phone because my phone is brand new. Anyway, this game is nice and I think it is worth it but the ads are just very very annoying.

I used to absolutely be obsessed with this game, but ever since they made it a competition, I really don’t enjoy it. It might’ve been four stars if they didn’t make it harder. Why did they make it harder? Probably so you’d keep playing. But personally, I liked it when it wasn’t impossible. But that’s just me. If you like the new version of the impossible competition, congrats to you. Not trying to convince anyone not to play because it’s actually quite enjoyable but the competition aspect has made it more stressful instead of stress-relieving, which is what it used to be to me. On the plus side, it doesn’t have many adds, which is quite unusual for a free game, and you get new balls, ground, and sky so you have variety. This review could’ve been four stars if they didn't make it impossible to play, but because it is, I chose three stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I hope this review was helpful to anyone debating downloading this game. Once again, this is just an honest Dune review from my perspective. I would recommend downloading the game just to try it out. Some people may enjoy the competition. Thanks for reading. Hope it helped!🤓🤪
