Sorry, I just hate ads
Played ONE level, and was immediately whisked off to watch an ad for a game I already have installed. ONE level, then ads.
Delete.
Delete.
Ads after ads
After two or three clicks I get an ad then it gives me a big subscription and that is just diabolical
So many ADS.
The amount of ads is unbelievable, I feel like every ten to five seconds I get an ad. The fact that you have to WATCH AN AD TO SWITCH SKINS is pure greed, I only have 2 skins so maybe it’s just that one skin you have to watch an ad to equip but that still doesn’t excuse all the other stuff…
Such a great game but unbelievable amount of ads
I even bought VIP which promises no ads and got an ad immediately after closing that screen. Unbelievable greed from the developers
Ads first thing when you open the app every single time, uninstalled
seriously?
Too many ads
The amount of ads after each level and each time you get it wrong and literally ads just for opening the app is crazy, I’m gonna delete this.
Ads just trying to navigate menu
The fact that you get ads just trying to navigate the window is honestly tiresome. I know it’s how the game is kept free but how do you expect to keep players if they need to watch an ad midway through scrolling back to their level after returning to the game. Would rate 0/5 stars if I could.
Too Many Ads
every five seconds there’s an ad that’s so annoying
how much ads are you adding
these ads are the worst i joined in and what do you know right away a ads i tried turning off my WiFi and i still got ads and yea a lot of games have ads but this one has the most out of my games in my phone be for real and take out some of the ads
I’m not trying to be rude😅😭
There's to many adds while I'm playing it 𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖘 𝖒𝖊
Its Okay.
its fun and all but theres to much ads and it would be better with less ads.
Too many ads
I can’t tell if it’s fun or not ad as soon as you get on the game ad as soon as you the screen ads just before during and after the game level like dang I only got to level 3 before I gave up on the game
read this!
add after every round. do not download this bull!!!!!
Too much ads
I can’t even play the game it WOULD key word WOULD be a GREAT game but why does it need internet for you to play it is not fun with a ad every two seconds
TOO.MANY.ADDSSSS
OK, this game is a really fun game but the one issue is there are so many ads get on, an add, want to play an add want to play another round another ad there are just too many ads and I really really really would like you guys to remove as many ads as you have on here because overall it would be a fun game if there weren’t so many ads also please let us choose our own songs just not one song.
Damn ads
Alright why are there so many ads? I mean airplane mode works but ts too much.
WAY WAY WAY TOO EXPENSIVE
.
Ads
Way to many ads
Too many ads
There are too many ads why have ads
Way to many ads
Looper starts off with a simple and interesting idea that feels like it could become a fun and addictive game. The mechanics are easy to learn, the levels are short, and at first it seems like the perfect game to play in short bursts. However, that initial enjoyment quickly disappears because of the extreme and excessive amount of advertising built into the game.
After nearly every single level, you are forced to watch an ad. These aren’t quick pop-ups or optional ads you can choose to watch for rewards-they are unavoidable interruptions that stop the game cold. Just as you complete a level and begin to feel a sense of progress or satisfaction, the game immediately pulls you out and makes you sit through another advertisement. This happens so frequently that it becomes exhausting and ruins any sense of momentum or immersion.
The constant ads make Looper feel less like a game and more like a platform designed solely to push advertisements. Instead of focusing on improving your skills or enjoying the challenge, you’re constantly bracing yourself for the next ad. Over time, the gameplay itself becomes secondary, and the frustration builds with every interruption. What should be a smooth, continuous experience ends up feeling choppy, slow, and annoying.
Progress feels unrewarding because completing a level doesn’t feel like an accomplishment-it feels like a trigger for yet another ad. This design choice kills motivation and makes it hard to want to keep playing, even if the core gameplay has some appeal. Many players, myself included, end up quitting not because the game is difficult or boring, but because the ad frequency makes it miserable to continue.
It’s completely reasonable for free games to include ads, but Looper takes this to an extreme that crosses the line from acceptable to frustrating. A more balanced approach-such as placing ads every few levels, offering an option to remove ads for a fair price, or making ads optional in exchange for bonuses-would dramatically improve the experience.
As it stands, Looper wastes its own potential. The excessive and intrusive advertising overshadows everything else the game has to offer and leaves players feeling irritated rather than entertained. Until the ad frequency is significantly reduced, it’s hard to recommend Looper to anyone who wants to actually enjoy playing a game instead of constantly watching ads.

There is an add every time you beat a level or mess up
Don’t recommend

Masons review
Bro this game has way to many ads I open the app and I sat there for two seconds and it gave me ad every single level. It gives me another ad. I’m tired of getting these ads.
The music
Unfortunately the music doesn’t work for me at all I’ve raised my volume and all and it’s doesn’t seem to play at all
Terrible
There is more ads than the game itself. Yall replied to another review saying you’ll change it but that was in August. Cmon man. Why so greedy?
Too much add breaks not enough gameplay
Having to buy no adds is annoying
Way to many ads
I open the game and it immediately give me an ad. I lose, I get another ad. I win, still Ads. It’s annoying and I regret downloading this. Waste of time.
👎🏽
Game is great but ads after every play. It opens with an ad.
Ad timing
The ads keep playing every twenty seconds it’s not a playable game
Ads
So many ads
Too many ads
There are way too many ads in this game, everyone 8 I die I get an ad, same thing with moving on and clicking the X.
Ads
Too many ads. I get ads just opening up the game. I don’t even press start without an ad popping up. Other than that the game is cool and fun to play.
WAY TOO MANY ADS
I understand this is a free game and you need ads for revenue, but JESUS CHRIST tone it down the game is completely unplayable because every button pulls up an ad. Then when the ad is done and returns you to the game the audio is then glitchy and screwed up.
SO! MANY! ADS!
I used to play this game probably 7 years ago. I remember it being fun and challenging. Today I remember it and decided to download it to try it out again. The moment I open the app I get a 45s ad. Can’t even see the home page and it immediately pushed me away. Nobody likes watching ads, but it’s understandable for a free game. There is flat out too many! Open the app? Ad. Start a level? Ad. Lose a level? Ad. Complete a level? Ad. There isn’t a single button on the screen that doesn’t result in watching an ad first!! Immediately deleted without hesitation!!! Fun idea used to be good and challenging, now completely unplayable.
Ads start right away and never let me get to the game.
Ads start right away and never let me get to the game. It looks like it might be a pretty fun game to play, but it only let me play one level. Even when the ad is advertising a game and I go and download the game they’re advertising , it still won’t end the ad and let me get to a game. Even if I let the ad run a long time, I can’t get to the game. It’s a shame because, like I said, it looks like a fun game.
oh my lord the ads.
the app is barley even functional because of the ads oh my gosh. I do understand the need for apps to keep the game free, but there are plenty of games that are free that have WAY less adds than this unplayable disgrace of a mobile game. Remove this absolutely ridiculous un functioning part of the app. thanks.
Too many freaking ads
An ad after every button click is excessive
Cool game but way to many ads
Overall a rlly fun game but I have been getting so many ads it’s not even worth my time anymore
Too many ads
I JUST got this game, and I already have ad after ad. You mess up - ad, you finish a level - ad. It just feels like you’re playing a game to watch ads.
I hate the ads
I hate the ads that’s all I’m saying
Good game but do not buy to remove ads
I bought to remove the ads twice 6 dollars wasted right after buying it the first time ad happened right after then the second time I played it once still had an add I refreshed and every time never worked. Don’t waste your money!
The ads are too much
This game is fun and I like hearing the beats, but every time I try to complete a level an ad pops up. I feel like this game would be better if they lessen the ads.
TOO MUCH ADS FOR ONE GAME😫😫😫😫
1. It is a good game
2. TOO MUCH ADS EVERY SINGLE GAME THEIR IS A AD
2. TOO MUCH ADS EVERY SINGLE GAME THEIR IS A AD
Don’t get if you don’t like adds
I do recommend this game to some people, but those ads every single time you lose and you gotta restart and even when you join the game, there’s an ad.
ads
felt like this whole game was just ads like every button i pushed made an add pop up but 2 stars cuz it was still kinda fun
WAY TOO MANY ADS
Every time I fail a level I get another ad and it gets real old real fast. Great idea, terrible ad execution. 🙄😒😔😡😡😡 i would only recommend this game if you could play without Wi-Fi or get less ads.
