Traffic Escape‪!‬ 17+

I’ve seen enjoyable games go away because they don’t make money. I make sure to play at least one ad every time I play, because I want this one to stick around. I don’t pay anything to play it, but there are perks you can purchase in-game to make the game more fun. I play this game to help me stay patient when I’m waiting for something, or when I need to relax and clear my mind. I would love a level where I get to design my own car puzzle. I understand that would take extra coding and work, so that’s probably not a realistic wish. If you like sorting games, putting things in order, or managing things, you will really like this game. PS—I know I mentioned ads…they didn’t ask me to write any of this…I lost two of my favorite free games to play (a beautiful game called Paradise Bay by a company called King, the same company that released Candy Crush, and Hero Academy, a great game that was on Steam) because those games weren’t making money. If you don’t want to pay, you can play ads, and the company will get paid by someone else. Maybe someone can leave a review about their in-game purchases.

This is a nice little game, kind of addictive. It’s not hard to play and the rounds get mildly harder as it progresses. They throw in a few distractions as you advance, like traffic lights, pedestrians and other obstacles, so it keeps it interesting. Each round is very quick, so you can use it as an occupier while you’re waiting somewhere. There are also little competitions with other players (or the game, who really knows).

Now the except part. There are, of course, in app purchases. For the most part, you can play without them and I have. If you run out of moves to complete a round, there’s an option to watch an ad to get more moves or you can “buy” moves to finish the round with the coins you’ve earned while playing. Of course, once you’ve run out of play money, you can buy more with real money. But most games are that way.

My complaint is the absolutely RIDICULOUS amount of ads in this game. I have never seen anything like this. Everything you do triggers another ad and they’re not short ones either. So, you have the option to buy out of ads. I have never done this in a game before because I’m pretty good at ignoring them and they aren’t this RIDICULOUS. So, yeah, dum me fell for it and bought the ad stop. And lo and behold, NOTHING. I’m still getting the same amount of ads and they got the money. So be forewarned. Fun game, RIDICULOUS amount of ads.

I am loving this little traffic game! If you give the developers $5 for no ads, there really aren’t any ads unless you “hit” the little pedestrian or go through a red light! I don’t play that race with other players, because you never win and that eliminates another ad. So I just play and play while I watch TV and for some reason, it seems to be a stress reliever for me. Traffic should be stressful but this definitely isn’t lol! It’s easy enough, and even if you mess up, you watch one 30 sec ad and you’re through the level. They have all kinds of cars, backgrounds, and exhausts to choose from (and spend a whopping 99 cents if you want!) The more difficult levels aren’t really that horribly hard but are definitely more fun! Great game, developers! More cars, backgrounds and exhausts please!
