Hey, wanna know a secret? Most mobile gamedevs don't actually have much ability to influence that. Ever noticed how it's gotten progressively worse over the years? And how every little hostile change seems to catch on like wildfire? That's because there's no catching on process. Most everybody uses third parties to handle the add and the dev just checks whether it gives back a positive or negative event, esentialy a trueXfalse boolean response and that's it. The ads themselves and everything that happens on that screen is done by a third party until you return back into the app. Is this gonna help you as a consumer at all? No. Does it justify anything? No. But it's not like the devs are being given much choice. And it's not like anyone really sells premium apps on mobile stores outside of well established non-gaming brands or pc-gaming clones (to be able to not use ad networks at all).
@@Bsweet117I don’t want to be constantly forced to watch ads to play a game. It’s not a matter of patience, I want to play my game, and not be interrupted every five minutes with a 30 second ad.

Damn, you are right. When I get offered the choice to watch an ad in exchange of a little in-game reward I actually view the ad more positively than being forced to watch it.
I am developing a game that doesn't even do this. You can unlock and upgrade unique heroes in a sort of tower defence genre- but you can earn those currencies in game, albeit slower. You can speed it up a bit by watching ads, but we never force you to do it. Would you like this call to action in a game?
@@CobusGreyling As long as you have a fun game that's obviously had some love put into it. The hook is the honesty. People generally don't like to feel as if they're being tricked, or forced to do something. But they really like helping honest people who make things that they themselves like.
Agreed. Playing one at the moment where you have two lives per level, but the second one is only if you choose to watch a respawn ad, or spend a small amount of the resources you can purchase. Or you get a few daily reward chests that you can only receive after watching an ad. All of it prompted and with a direct reward instead of just "hey watch this". And with the tiny amount of resources you gain this way you actually can play without spending any money.
Dont forget the games that ask if you want to watch an ad for a reward that you decline and still get hit with an ad anyway without receiving a reward for it lol
It's like in Egg Inc. that the game gives you an ad in a little pop-up that shows up on the side of the screen. It asks you if you want to watch and recieve a bonus for it, if you click "no" it goes out. This is so human, i want more games like that.
That is why soul knight does this SO GOOD because when you die you can revive with an add, but not only that but to not loose the inmersion it appears at the end of the run
You know what’s gotten really annoying about the full screen ads, they don’t just end. Like I swear it used to be it plays for 5s, you click the x, then back to the game. But now it plays for 5s, you click the x, but that was a fake x that was part of the ad to make you click it, so you have to close an AppStore pop up. Then it finishes playing, the real x appears. It pops up the AppStore again, you have to close it. Now you have to stare at the app logo for 5s while a SECOND X has to appear. Like wtf is this. Isn’t it just 5s and then an x. At least back then it was like “ok it’s sort of like UA-cam or cable tv, I have to watch the ads occasionally and the game is free” but why is now trying to trick me into clicking something that brings me to the App Store. I’m not gonna download the app because you tricked me into going to the App Store, I’m gonna reopen the app and play with wifi off so you can’t show me ads anymore.
Agreed, I play some games on the cellphone and they work like this, I love this way as I'm supporting them and I have the choice to watch whenever I feel like or see the need to
No you dont. Who tf willingly watches an ad lol. Sometimes an ad may get ur interest but thats usually when you are forced to watch the first fews second of it
Or they could you know....not make an arbitrary upgrade that you already spent time farming resources to pay for, take hours to complete....blows my mind that anyone finds that satisfying.
@@theriverthing I wasn't referencing the ads I was referencing upgrade timers. If it takes 12 hours to "upgrade" my base.....why? There is 0 reason other than it being a tactic to force you to return to the game later.
@@farfromirrational948the sound effects and multiplayer domination aspects of mobile games make them highly addictive for those who aren't super into gaming
Or games that make watching ads optional, but the in-game economy is set up in a way where buying gold/watching ads is 100x the revenue of win rewards.
Usually, when those happen, the forced ads give you the option to “x” out of it earlier in the contract if you clicked yes and are required to watch the full ad for the reward. It's still annoying either way.
The other day I downloaded an app to try it out and literally every click has an ad. I not only uninstalled it but I actually went out of my way to leave a review to warn others.
i got games where you have to watch an ad, but it shows you when you have to and you can decide if you want to multiply your reward for this stage with this ad
My Pixel has this stupid issue where when I touch the screen, there's about a 40% chance that the phone will lock up for a second and register a long press. I'm convinced that it does this on purpose, because the last few times it did this, it clicked on an ad on the UA-cam app because that just happens to be how far my finger moved for the failed swipe. Google/Alphabet is worth almost 2 trillion dollars and clearly none of it is going to the stuff that matters.
10000% agree, I too will straight up uninstall games, stop watching videos, leave web pages, literally whatever I am doing will immediately stop when someone shoves an ad in my face
My favorite are the stupid "layer cake" ads that have like 4 layers you have to wait through Like an ad followed by a fake playable one followed by an install button with a 5 second countdown on the x I just love those so much and i enjoy sitting through them a lot
@@LocalDiscordCatgirlFandom on phone is cancer. If you x out of the ad, it reappears 5 seconds later and scrolls the fucking screen, which either causes me to lose my place or misclick a link.
There's a mobile game called Skullgirls. Due to players asking for a way to support the game further they added an option for ads. It's not a pop up but a small option on the right lowermost corner of the main menu on the shapw of a TV cartoony character called Tebby. You can make Tebby play an ad for you to get a random reward that doesn't have much value. It's way out of the way and doesn't affect the economy. Best kind of ads in mobile games.
I have been playing it for a while and goddamn if its not one of the best games i played, its also extremely curated by devs And also so many references (mainly jojo's but not only those)
YES! ALWAYS THIS! Every time a mobile game makes their ads optional and not just shoving it in your face I breathe a sigh of relief. If I ever watch an ad while playing that game, it's a conscious choice and not something I feel forced into.
Night of the Full Moon. It's a roguelite that gives you exactly 3 place where it offers an ad, and is never forced. All are worth it and each run is long enough that I do need a second to pull back and look at something other than my phone. Beautifully done ads.
My favorite things is when the ads are next to a menu, but they appear with a slight loading delay, so you decide to press a menu button and an ad suddenly appears under your finger in between when you decide to press the button and when your finger actually arrives there.
summoner's greed is the same way, a guy with a play button head walks by and asks if you wanna watch an ad for some summons or other stuff, if you say no to the poor guy he'll just walk slowly and be sad about it which makes you wanna click the accept next time he comes around xD
Cute little fishing game, lots of popup ads asking if you want to click for more fish. Not a 2x bonus, just straight up boatload of fish. It's so much fish. Three ads in, I realize the ads are ten times more effective than fishing, and there is no game left in the game. Uninstalled.
Bruh. I'll do you better. 3 hours of grind for equipment to fight dungeon for A CHANCE to get x item or buy it for $3.99. And its a SURVIVAL game. ffs it aint survival if you can just buy stuff.
I saw one game that after a few minutes of gameplay literally just said, if you want to support us but don't have the money to, then you can toggle banner ads on in the setting. I respected that so much I turned it on for the majority of my gameplay, and if at any time I was bothered I could turn it back off no question asked.
@@Shadow_ci It has been several years since I played it, and I go through a lot of different mobile games cause my ADHD, I wish I could tell you but sadly I don't remember.
These are still inferior IMO to product placement ads. Those are the best. You're playing a game and then you just see a real-world brand in-game. It's not super intrusive. But you remember that you like that brand's products. Maybe you should buy it later. I'll usually notice this with ads for other games. Alternatively, for some games, they will have a full screen ad for another game very similar to it. Over time, this gets annoying, but I can't say I disprove. I liked this game. Oh, there's another one I'll probably like? Neat. Oooh, one more cool ad technique. While at some gas stations, they will play ads while you fill up your tank. It's a bit annoying, but you don't have anything better to do, so why not... The kind of ad PirateSoftware is talking about reminds me very much of Temple Run. You can use ads to get extra lives. I feel like it cheapens the meaning of a high score.
For real, I've already opened ads in games that I didn't even need the rewards, but actually wanted to support the devs for making an effort in making a good mobile game
@akeyasa2228 it's not that deep man, sometimes creators just need to put some bread on thier tables, and non intrusive ads are often the best solution, instead of just making p2w games or adding straight up gambling. I would much rather prefer ads instead of like 20 different in game currencies, and really long waiting times that can be skiped with a little bit of cash
Once played a game where off to the side was a little banner that’s says “Buy me coffee.” It was just ads, you could watch them if you wanted, and you didn’t if you didn’t want to. I really appreciate that transparency.
Fully agree. And worse again are the ads that don’t go away when you tap the Close button and make you do a triple visit to the App Store page before going away. Or the ones where the Close button is in a different place every time.
this is EXACTLY how the ads in Tap Titans 2 work, fairy and everything. I always appreciated it because i could always just say no to them, or i could get buffs or gold to speed up my progress. They even took it a step further and introduced an entire style of play by using the gold collected from those fairies as your primary gold source, and was a viable way to play the game (the ads only showed up for like 1/10 fairies). Unfortunately, as an idle game, it eventually got stale so i deleted it, but the way they handled ads was ahead of its time.
The problem with TT2 is that late game it isn’t an idle game and just consumes all of your time. Idk what max stage is now but a few years ago I hit a hard plateau around stage 110k with heavenly strike and just couldn’t get further without the p2w mythic set bonuses.
@@flytelp you can get the mythics by just doing tourneys with the shards, thats what i always did. just ignore the other tourneys saving the prestige points for the shard ones, went a whole year without paying for anything
yeah late game just gets so repetitive; i eventually quit because all i could do to push stages was to play tournaments and do raids and i couldnt be asked lol
I think the best one is from Soul Knights where if you die in a run you get the chance to revive if you watch an ad but the ad only plays after the run is finished or you died again.
I've played Sonic Dash 2 for over a decade now on mobile, and they run ads exactly as you explained. No forced ads anywhere, but they always give you the option to watch an ad to get some nice buffs (free revive, double your ring total, free loot box). It's the only mobile game I've played that's lasted between phones.
There's an idle clicker game called "Guitar Girl", really soothing game, and what I REALLY like about it is that all ad interactions are 100% optional, like in the store for extra rewards/bonus multipliers. And if it fails to load an ad, it has your best friend (in-game-lore) pop up and give you the reward anyway. Really enjoyable experience. (The devs also extend the daily log-in events by a day or two if you were close to getting the final day reward but just needed an extra day)
I just downloaded this game thanks to your recommendation. I’ve been playing a bit before I commented, and yeah, its super relaxing and not intrusive at all. It has a cute little story that I’m loving the vibe of and even though there’s one of those weird.. paid battle pass-esque things that I tend to despise, the free options and events seem like enough.
Another incremental and/or idle game (not necessarily clicker but you get the idea) that also has 100% completely optional ads is called Antimatter Dimensions (or AD for short, lol) and they are completely optional and also give you a boost to a certain thing (depending on you're current progress in the game itself) if you do
@@notme9801the point of the Flying Ads is that it gives you reward for watching the Ads, maybe if youtube has something like token system that allow you to watch premium content it honestly may work
my favorite way i saw an ad on a mobile game was like a little TV in the background playing the ad while you played the game. which- it also had a full screen ad after so i uninstalled lmao, but still. pretty creative.
A game called clicker heroes makes you go out of your way to click the ads and if you really feel like it they condone you just closing the app and reopening it to skip the ad, and it still gives the reward
Egg Inc. comes to mind as an excellent example of how to do ads in games. It doesn't force you to do it, and sometimes the rewards actually do make it worthwhile to watch it.
Honestly, agree. One of my favorite ones was a game that not only did it this way, BUT they FORCED all ads to be 30 seconds long or less. If an ad went over 30 seconds it would instantly cut it off to the "click here to download screen." They also used a huge, normal, button selection at the bottom with one half being "download" and the other half being "close ad" instead of a tiny little X in the top corner.
30 second ad? if it takes you 30 seconds to sell a product - you dont HAVE a product to sell. :D ...4 seconds. The time it takes me to reach for the audio control and turn the phone upside down/tab away. That's how long advertisers actually have.
NecroMerger is a GREAT example of ads done right in my opinion. Even if you don't watch the ad itself, you get something out of feeding the ad to your beast.
I like the way "shipping manager", and the other "manager" idea games. No ads at all, you can watch ads to boost your max X and Y stockpiles of whatever. And you can do a 10 ad a day for some daily perk. BEST style. Not even an annoying thing to see. It is just there, allowing you to click it at any time.
The worst thing that can happen is when they ask you for a reward ad and you say no and in that exact moment you still get an ad that doesn't get you any reward.

>Try again
>Revive (Watch an ad)
the main problem is that developers place prices for in game stuff more high than they should so that people feel the need to watch ads.
my favorite is when you have to sit through 6 seconds of an ad to skip to the next screen that makes sure you’re trying to exit out of the ad.
or ads that have like three skippable sections and they're all 10 seconds long before you're allowed to skip each one
It doesn't even have to be a fairy or anything similar, I sometimes go out of my way to find the option to watch the ads if I can get something out of it as well.
"Would you like to watch an ad for 200 gold"
"No"

Hey, wanna know a secret?
Most mobile gamedevs don't actually have much ability to influence that.
Ever noticed how it's gotten progressively worse over the years? And how every little hostile change seems to catch on like wildfire? That's because there's no catching on process. Most everybody uses third parties to handle the add and the dev just checks whether it gives back a positive or negative event, esentialy a trueXfalse boolean response and that's it.
The ads themselves and everything that happens on that screen is done by a third party until you return back into the app.
Is this gonna help you as a consumer at all? No. Does it justify anything? No. But it's not like the devs are being given much choice. And it's not like anyone really sells premium apps on mobile stores outside of well established non-gaming brands or pc-gaming clones (to be able to not use ad networks at all).

Absolutely right, it's the only way ads don't feel like they're being forced
Agreed. Playing one at the moment where you have two lives per level, but the second one is only if you choose to watch a respawn ad, or spend a small amount of the resources you can purchase. Or you get a few daily reward chests that you can only receive after watching an ad.
All of it prompted and with a direct reward instead of just "hey watch this". And with the tiny amount of resources you gain this way you actually can play without spending any money.

It's like in Egg Inc. that the game gives you an ad in a little pop-up that shows up on the side of the screen. It asks you if you want to watch and recieve a bonus for it, if you click "no" it goes out.

You know what’s gotten really annoying about the full screen ads, they don’t just end. Like I swear it used to be it plays for 5s, you click the x, then back to the game. But now it plays for 5s, you click the x, but that was a fake x that was part of the ad to make you click it, so you have to close an AppStore pop up. Then it finishes playing, the real x appears. It pops up the AppStore again, you have to close it. Now you have to stare at the app logo for 5s while a SECOND X has to appear. Like wtf is this. Isn’t it just 5s and then an x. At least back then it was like “ok it’s sort of like UA-cam or cable tv, I have to watch the ads occasionally and the game is free” but why is now trying to trick me into clicking something that brings me to the App Store. I’m not gonna download the app because you tricked me into going to the App Store, I’m gonna reopen the app and play with wifi off so you can’t show me ads anymore.

Yeah. If I say no and they start showing me an ad anyway, I don't even wait for the ad to end. I uninstall it right away.
Or games that make watching ads optional, but the in-game economy is set up in a way where buying gold/watching ads is 100x the revenue of win rewards.
well silly you, the prompt didn't say "do you want to watch an ad for 500g", it said "do you want to receive 500g for watching an ad?" lol gottem
Usually, when those happen, the forced ads give you the option to “x” out of it earlier in the contract if you clicked yes and are required to watch the full ad for the reward.
It's still annoying either way.

There's a mobile game called Skullgirls. Due to players asking for a way to support the game further they added an option for ads. It's not a pop up but a small option on the right lowermost corner of the main menu on the shapw of a TV cartoony character called Tebby. You can make Tebby play an ad for you to get a random reward that doesn't have much value. It's way out of the way and doesn't affect the economy. Best kind of ads in mobile games.

summoner's greed is the same way, a guy with a play button head walks by and asks if you wanna watch an ad for some summons or other stuff, if you say no to the poor guy he'll just walk slowly and be sad about it which makes you wanna click the accept next time he comes around xD

@@Shadow_ci It has been several years since I played it, and I go through a lot of different mobile games cause my ADHD, I wish I could tell you but sadly I don't remember.
These are still inferior IMO to product placement ads. Those are the best. You're playing a game and then you just see a real-world brand in-game. It's not super intrusive. But you remember that you like that brand's products. Maybe you should buy it later. I'll usually notice this with ads for other games.
Alternatively, for some games, they will have a full screen ad for another game very similar to it. Over time, this gets annoying, but I can't say I disprove. I liked this game. Oh, there's another one I'll probably like? Neat.
Oooh, one more cool ad technique. While at some gas stations, they will play ads while you fill up your tank. It's a bit annoying, but you don't have anything better to do, so why not...
The kind of ad PirateSoftware is talking about reminds me very much of Temple Run. You can use ads to get extra lives. I feel like it cheapens the meaning of a high score.

Fully agree. And worse again are the ads that don’t go away when you tap the Close button and make you do a triple visit to the App Store page before going away. Or the ones where the Close button is in a different place every time.
this is EXACTLY how the ads in Tap Titans 2 work, fairy and everything. I always appreciated it because i could always just say no to them, or i could get buffs or gold to speed up my progress.
They even took it a step further and introduced an entire style of play by using the gold collected from those fairies as your primary gold source, and was a viable way to play the game (the ads only showed up for like 1/10 fairies).
Unfortunately, as an idle game, it eventually got stale so i deleted it, but the way they handled ads was ahead of its time.
The problem with TT2 is that late game it isn’t an idle game and just consumes all of your time. Idk what max stage is now but a few years ago I hit a hard plateau around stage 110k with heavenly strike and just couldn’t get further without the p2w mythic set bonuses.

I think the best one is from Soul Knights where if you die in a run you get the chance to revive if you watch an ad but the ad only plays after the run is finished or you died again.
As the phrase goes: _"A fair,mutual exchange"_
I've played Sonic Dash 2 for over a decade now on mobile, and they run ads exactly as you explained. No forced ads anywhere, but they always give you the option to watch an ad to get some nice buffs (free revive, double your ring total, free loot box). It's the only mobile game I've played that's lasted between phones.
If only Sonic Dash 1 was like that... Instead they make things like the freaking card update.
There's an idle clicker game called "Guitar Girl", really soothing game, and what I REALLY like about it is that all ad interactions are 100% optional, like in the store for extra rewards/bonus multipliers. And if it fails to load an ad, it has your best friend (in-game-lore) pop up and give you the reward anyway. Really enjoyable experience. (The devs also extend the daily log-in events by a day or two if you were close to getting the final day reward but just needed an extra day)
Based as all hell

Another incremental and/or idle game (not necessarily clicker but you get the idea) that also has 100% completely optional ads is called Antimatter Dimensions (or AD for short, lol) and they are completely optional and also give you a boost to a certain thing (depending on you're current progress in the game itself) if you do

A game called clicker heroes makes you go out of your way to click the ads and if you really feel like it they condone you just closing the app and reopening it to skip the ad, and it still gives the reward
Tap titans?
Egg Inc. comes to mind as an excellent example of how to do ads in games. It doesn't force you to do it, and sometimes the rewards actually do make it worthwhile to watch it.
Can you imagine if we did this when UA-cam showed an ad 😂 the app would last a day then nobody would have it 😂
And then when you press "I don't want to watch an ad" they just put an ad on your face
Honestly, agree.
One of my favorite ones was a game that not only did it this way, BUT they FORCED all ads to be 30 seconds long or less.
If an ad went over 30 seconds it would instantly cut it off to the "click here to download screen." They also used a huge, normal, button selection at the bottom with one half being "download" and the other half being "close ad" instead of a tiny little X in the top corner.
30 second ad? if it takes you 30 seconds to sell a product - you dont HAVE a product to sell. :D
