Idle Aqua Park

Now maybe this is just a general "idle" category complaint, but you run out of stuff to do real quick and then it's just a waiting game. I upgraded my slide about 4 times before I realized "...that's all this game is?" and decided to call it quits. If they had let you juggle between different areas like ice cream, or the balloons it could have kept it fresh potentially... but they just focus on the slide.

Simple and easy to figure out, cute little idle game. However. You get an ad shoved at you every 3 seconds. I understand why games have ads, that's not the issue. The issue is basically that if you want to make decent progress, you have to watch hundreds of ads. And the game has a moving ad button that, if you tap it, is unskippable.

It's an idle game. It does what idle games do: wastes your time while commoditizing your attention in 30-second increments. The interface is pretty slick, though, and the game's got a neat idea behind it. Nevertheless, it's really just lipstick on a pig: optional ads are literally everywhere, and mandatory ads start flowing pretty quickly after you start. You can't expand your park until you've leveled up quite a bit, so staring at your solitary starting water slide gets a little boring after a while. Naturally there are dozens of things to upgrade, and the animations are kinda cute, so some people may be able to forgive the fact that the game's just a re-skin of a hundred predecessors with no new features. I understand there may be issues with the offline gains, but I didn't play long enough to experience that. If the game isn't worth playing actively, I struggle to see how it could be worth playing passively.
