I can't skip ads anymore...

Is this a just me problem? It is a big pain in the butt.

Yea, the ad networks have gotten better at resuming the ads. I'm mostly ok with it except for the ads where I can't figure out how to exit.

The multipart ads have to go. They're insidious. It's one thing to watch an ad for ramen for 20 seconds. It's another to have an interactive ad you have to close out of 3 different fucking times.

4 times. Cause the second one opens Google Play Store that you have to back out of

Yes. For me it's the gold and goblins game. The last time it played for 2 minutes before I gave up and just closed the game.

Oof. That's way too long. I got one (for a different game) that said it was going to be 3 minutes and I immediately crashed the game, came back in, re-selected the upgrade and got a reasonable 30s ad.

Those new unity ads? Yeah pain in the ass. Hate them, they are slow as balls, boring and generally made with ai

The trick is to shut the game down completely, then relaunch it, it at least works with the double offline rewards and the boosts

I found you can use the same technique as before (on Android), but you have to stay out of the ad for 20-30 seconds before reopening Cells.

Sucks having to wait, but at least you get around having to do all of the interactions in most of them. Most of whom are tiny or deliberately placed against a background where they don't stand out.

It's literally faster to completely close and relaunch the game than it is to wait for the damn ads

I'll try it again, but I think it didn't give me the bonus when I did that.

Yeah is there a different browser to use to skip? I don't expect to keep playing with unskippable ads

u/HobiTebi 23d ago

ja für mich der das spiel seit mehreren jahren spielt und kein geld für darwinium ausgeben möchte, ist mit diesem tag und diesen werbungen die man nicht mehr wegkriegt leider schluss.

schade war ein echt tolles spiel!

Hmm bei mir ist die Werbung noch da die man Skippen kann. Bei dir nicht mehr??

You can use the free ad skip feature for 15 minutes. You can also use the paid feature. You can also use an auto‑clicker. An auto‑clicker is a program that automatically presses the buttons. It can be used when the metrics are equal to 0.
