Advertisements; iCloud failure

To be fair, I got this game when it was the free app of the week. At first, I loved it! It was very addictive and I enjoyed the in-game achievements. The OCD part of me likes completing every little thing.

But then the advertisements came. In droves. I couldnt replay a level, much less go to another level, without a pop up. I understand Nitrome needs to make money, but this is borderline asinine. And there are some adverts you cant close immediately because theres a video that has to load first. I eventually just get frustrated and stop playing.

Then theres iCloud, which I use to back up game progress. I had to reinstall iOS 8.0.2 to (hopefully) eliminate blue screens on my mini2. I checked to make sure Icebreaker was backed up before proceeding. Reinstalled everything and every other game restored from iCloud just fine, except this one. Sorry, but I shouldnt have to 100% complete Troll Marsh again because their app wont restore properly.

In all, the game itself is terrific fun, but the barrage of advertisements and iCloud failure means I wont be playing it again anytime soon.
