Cons
Con Just another Flappy Bird clone
Bouncing Monster is yet another Flappy Bird clone, one that looks as if it also paid for 5 star reviews, as that is all there is on the Play Store other than one 3 star review. This is easily noticeable from the poor spelling and foreign names that accompany all of the 5 star reviews that not even once go into any kind of specifics of what the game does or how it plays.
Con Current version has both ads and in-app purchases
Con Wait times
There are wait times in the game for both crafting and adventuring. This makes it impossible to sit and play for any length of time and makes the user have to come back to the game often in order to make any significant progress.
Con Lag/delay of action
When pressing buttons in the menus there is a noticeable delay until the requested action actually takes place.
