Comments on Retroxel: Retro Arcade Games for Android
★★★★★
Old-school classics adds for coins but worth it.
★★★★★
I haven't had many problems with ads and all but I think that you guys should add dig dug. It's pretty good.
★★★★★
Fun buy do you have full versions of games, some don't play all the way through.
★★★★★
This is a really cool app. It's great having all of these old arcade games here.
★★☆☆☆
Must be online, therefore obligatory 1 star because this is an artificial barrier deliberately put into the app. I gave the benefit of the doubt that maybe more downloads are necessary, so I went online - immediately greeted with the privacy policy that only comes up when the first ad attempts to load. The first thing that happens upon loading this app is an ad - if I am going to watch your ads, then you first need to do something to prove your worth. Simply existing does not prove your worth.
★★☆☆☆
There are too many damn ads... As soon you select a game, here comes advertisements. I understand why I'd barely use this app. Now I'm about to uninstall this app. Lower the advertisements!!!!
★★☆☆☆
The idea is great, but there are too many downsides. Controls are iffy and oddly performance seems inconsistent despite capable hardware. The biggest problem is the requirement of an internet connection and the ads. There's no real reason you couldn't do this offline. It is only required thanks to the long and annoying ads that pop up when starting a game. They are long and sometimes deceiving. Don't bother with this app and use one of the other free options and just provide roms yourself.
