High production quality & lasting gameplay – Tricky Taps Review

I frequently install simple games, like Voodoo apps, and play for 1-2 days before uninstalling. Tricky Taps is not that kind of game. I stayed through all 180 levels and got all 540 stars. The mechanic of performing actions both on tap and on release is so much more satisfying than games that only count taps. The game has ramping difficulty levels, giving you a sense of progression and also accomplishment as some levels are genuinely challenging. As a free-to-download app, there are ads. The ad frequency is actually very reasonable. You can play full levels with multiple lives before proc’ing an ad, which can be skipped. There is only 1 voluntary ad choice which is for your first death in a level, so it doesn’t bombard you with shiny buttons for rewards. If I had to list complaints & rooms for improvement, I’d say there aren’t enough levels (though there is an “endless mode,” procedurally generated survival) and the in-game currency is gained way too slow for the cost of aesthetics. You can beat the whole game and only afford 2 trails and a rare ball skin. (There’s also a bug where circular spike hazards don’t have a hitbox, unlike square spike hazards. Effectively just makes the game easier) I’d definitely recommend giving this app a try at the very least. Simple to install and uninstall if it’s not for you. ~♡
