Genuinely curious, what's so ghastly about an interstitial upon becoming active, and a retry button? It's a free game, I think people expect ads by now. Maybe

It's a free game, I think people expect ads by now. Maybe not every time the game starts up (or having a daily limit) but that's not the worst thing in the world.
- georgemcbay 13y agoBeing free is likely the only thing that has stopped Nintendo's lawyers from coming down on him like a ton of bricks at some point in the past 8 months or however long the game has been out. If he wants to monetize it he really better change the graphics first (though technically he's still copyright infringing regardless of whether he is charging for his game).
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoIs the pipe graphic literally lifted from Mario, pixel-for-pixel? Or is it just very similar. TBH, I don't think he's infringing any more than King, Zynga, et al.
- MartinCron 13y agoSetting a pretty low ethical bar when you compare to King and Zynga.
- DanBC 13y agoAt the moment the game is free. The options are: 1) a bunch of weird ads 2) a single IAP labeled "give me some money" that does nothing but gives the dev some small amount of cash. 3) a series of IAPs labeled "give me cash", "give me more cash", "give me even more cash", "give me loads of cash", which are set at increasing amounts. These again do nothing except give the dev some cash.
