Tricky Taps 12+

I frequently install simple games, like Voodoo apps, and play for 1-2 days before uninstalling. Tricky Taps is not that kind of game. I stayed through all 180 levels and got all 540 stars. The mechanic of performing actions both on tap and on release is so much more satisfying than games that only count taps. The game has ramping difficulty levels, giving you a sense of progression and also accomplishment as some levels are genuinely challenging.
As a free-to-download app, there are ads. The ad frequency is actually very reasonable. You can play full levels with multiple lives before proc’ing an ad, which can be skipped. There is only 1 voluntary ad choice which is for your first death in a level, so it doesn’t bombard you with shiny buttons for rewards.
If I had to list complaints & rooms for improvement, I’d say there aren’t enough levels (though there is an “endless mode,” procedurally generated survival) and the in-game currency is gained way too slow for the cost of aesthetics. You can beat the whole game and only afford 2 trails and a rare ball skin. (There’s also a bug where circular spike hazards don’t have a hitbox, unlike square spike hazards. Effectively just makes the game easier)
I’d definitely recommend giving this app a try at the very least. Simple to install and uninstall if it’s not for you. ~♡

This game is actually really good. I have been downloading and deleting games like crazy this month and this is the only one I see sticking. You actually have to get good at this game. And you don’t need to pay to have a better experience. That’s is super important. I shouldn’t be blocked from playing because I didn’t buy some kind of bundle. I just play, get good and earn points and spend those on skins :) because I don’t want to pay for the game I understand the ads. This is a good game and I don’t mind sitting through an ad so they can get their money. The game is worth a couple ads.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. There are no ads whatsoever. So you are going to use contraptions to make the ball get to the end. Each little contraption does it’s own thing and every time you tap the screen, you activate all the contraptions in the level. This game is literally perfect, there is literally nothing that I would change. Did I mention it was perfect and that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game? (Thank you for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day/night I don’t know.) 😁
