Just Ads – Crazy Jewel Review

Swiping groups of same-colored gems is easy enough, but it's impossible to lose, making in-app purchases kind of pointless. In the upper right corner are 3 stars, showing how many stars you'll get if you finish the current screen of gems on the next move. When you lose the first star, if you hit the 'restart the screen' button at the bottom (a circular arrow, like a web browser's refresh button), you can restart the screen with no cost in lives. The in-game currency (orange diamonds, for buying extra lives) is not charged, making the in-app purchase system feel pointless. You have to complete 25 screens of gems in order to complete a level. Each screen takes maybe 30 seconds to complete. After almost every screen an ad is shown, usually taking up almost the whole Ipad/Iphone display. With an impossible-to-lose game, useless in-app purchase system, and a constant barrage of near full-screen ads, this 'game' feels like nothing but a stream of ads with a few shiny distractions in between.
