Thank you so much. This is a great game for my 6yo, it made his day! He loved it. We spent months looking for web games for 6yo without ads, dark patterns and distracting details, but this was the first one that really fit. I wish there would be more similar games.

It's wonderful to know that your child enjoyed our little game. Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

How is this without ads? It's sole purpose was to be a marketing tool and interrupts the game play with...ads.

These are ads in the original sense (to advertise something), rather than the modern sense (obnoxious attention-grabbing multimedia presentations); and all of them are skippable, save the victory screen. I do find it quite ironic, though, that the best ad-free video game I've seen this week is an advertisement.

This is exactly how I meant it. From the perspective of my 6yo, who can't really read yet or know what Netlify is, it was also never perceived as an Ad, but a game.

They possibly could/should add the qualifier of obnoxious ads. Many mobile ads are extremely obnoxious. Especially the ones that hide the "X" or place several "X"s in the interface so it's hard to tell where exactly to tap to get the ad to go away. This game is pretty classy and subtle in comparison. Kind of how Hacker News itself is an ad for YCombinator.

it's cute how you've come to accept the less obnoxious ads as okay. it appears the obnoxious ads have served their purpose.
