When can I watch ads?

There are several situations in which you can watch ads for different rewards:

  • On the menu screen in the life bar, you can watch an ad for an extra life if you currently have less than 5 lives.
  • When you lose a level, you can watch an ad to get 10 extra balls if you continue a level
  • If you win a level with at least one star OR win a previously won level with more stars (example: you originally won with 1 star but played again and got 2 stars) you can watch an ad to double the buttons you earned in that level.



Ads aren't working for me - why?

There is a limited number of ads for rewards that can be viewed in a certain time period. This number is between 10 and 40 ads, depending on your country of residence and a type of ad you are offered (ads have a certain "weight factor" depending on the content they promote; for example, an ad for an adult-rated game might count as 5 regular ads and an ad for a kids game counts as half a regular ad).


If you see a button to watch the ad, that means the ad controller is initialized but the ad still needs to be loaded. If the ad fails to play once you press the button, please wait for about 30 seconds and try again. If it fails once again, you've likely hit the maximum limit of ad rewards for the current time period, or an error happened with the ad provider. Once you reach this limit you need to wait for a period of either 24 or 48 hours - again depending on your country - before you can receive rewards again. Loading time of ads depends solely on users internet connection. 


To ensure the smoothest experience possible - not only for ads but for the game in general - please make sure your game stays up to date with the latest release at the time. If you aren't connected to the Internet or the ad fails to load due to ad provider issues, the button to watch the ad will not appear.


An additional thing to keep in mind is that for all apps - not just our game - ads aren't controlled or managed by the developers but rather by an ad provider affiliated with Google or Apple. Even if everything else seems correct, occasionally an ad might still fail to load due to a provider issue.
