It's a good app. It all comes down to how strategic and accepting you are of the results you created for yourself. I've checked-mated all levels before (1-12), and I can tell you this with absolute certainty.... if you stop doing something you've done as a habit, you will lose your ability to perform as well in that area. Stay vigilant.

Overwhelming ad avalanche . In response to the developer reply and do clarify: every time you do something you get a preview of a game advertisement, lasting ca 10 s then the fast forward button appears, upon pressing it moves to a simulation/mini game for another car 10 s, then you have to push another button and you are shown the game title again, and after further delay you can finally close the 'ad'. This takes an estimated 30 s total, way too long. This was not before. Only with new install

Dirk Schillmoeller, 2024-10-15

The ads have become so frustrating recently. The devs insist the ads only open before or after a game. But I get an ad almost every time I reopen the app to continue my game, which is certainly disruptive if I'm on the go and want to open the app and make a quick move. Ads can only be skipped after a button appears in 10-15 seconds, which is actually A LOT of time. I'm tired of tolerating these pushy, mind-numbing ads. You can pay to remove ads for $5, but you get no extra features.
