Thanks for the advice! I'm planning on it being fairly simple, but hopefully addicting. Similar to games like agar.io and slither.io. I know that those were very successful and made a bunch of money. With that said, I'm not sure there's room for clever product placement. Provided that I make a game fun enough to attract players, would ads create decent revenue?

Personally, I immediately kiss off ads. Ads as such in a game would be a distraction from game play. They would be actively resented. I don't think you could earn anything with conventional ads. I'm often wrong. Perhaps this time too. The major determinate of success would be how hard you pushed and how persistent you were. I don't think it would be easy.
