Tomb of the Mask: Color Maze 4+

This game has been designed by experts! It really pulls you in and has that ‘just one more go’ compulsion about it. The visuals and the sounds/music capture the retro theme perfectly.

That’s the game review; but if I stopped there it wouldn’t give a fair account of the gaming experience however. The main issue is the business model used here. Play is littered with adverts, banners and full screen videos. They interrupt the game too much, but the cost of disabling them is disproportionately high to the play value of the game. Near on £20 per month subscription! After the first few levels no new game elements are introduced, so whilst the game is compellingly playable, it also becomes repetitive.

The solution for us players is revealed in other reviews; which results in being able to play the full (as near as makes no difference) game with zero revenue for the developers. It seems odd that developers skilled enough to create a perfect little time killer like this, should also be dumb enough to minimise their income.

Is this an ad simulator because I’m sure I downloaded a game? Would love to play it & even buy it, too bad they put it behind a subscription paywall & it’s the first thing you see when you open the game.

Why would anyone be inclined to make a commitment to a mobile game with a marketing scheme like this? I’m sure there’s a few special individuals that have done so but I’m not here to discuss bad life decisions. Unfortunately it’s a gem amongst trash & im going to delete it right after this. I know for a fact that me doing so doesn’t matter or make much of a difference because they’re raking in cash from the ads & or the payed subscriptions of fools dumb enough to do such, but hey imma do my part.

Btw if anyone is reading this, just so you know, the cost of the subscription for the game over the coarse of a year is - £416 (paying weekly), £240 (paying monthly) or £100 for an upfront year long sub. You could literally just buy a Switch & have endless fun on games you can actually own for that price. Not just that but the perks of it are pointless, as they essentially make you pay to skip the game, the best thing it does is remove ads. Do yourself a favor & delete this; this company is just another Ketchapp in disguise...

I wanna start by saying I’m absolutely obsessed with this game and I spend an unhealthy amount of time on this game because it’s so good but I do think it’s wrong how there are some levels that you’ve made impossible so that u have to watch the ad it’s just unnecessary i can’t lie I’m only disappointed because I’ve spent 30mins-1hour trying to do level 832 but it turns out it’s impossible.🤣🤣 so I do 100% recommend the game but please don’t make an impossible level it’s so frustrating and for what?🥲
