Idle Orbital Marble

The concept is fun, but the app is not user friendly. 1. The ads seem tied to gaining upgrades, if you spam the "New Ball" or "Merge" buttons (the core way of progressing) an ad always pops up after a number of button presses. 2. When returning, the game wants you to watch an ad for double idle income, but if you decline, the game doesn't reward you with your normal idle income.

The game is good and truly idle in that you only need to purchase upgrades. The in-app purchase to remove ads is only $4.99 (USD) which is very reasonable, my only complaint is that after buying it the game still nags you to watch ads for bonuses. In all other games buying the no ads option gives you those for free without needing to watch ads. Edit - I was mistaken about bonuses nagging to watch ads after buying the no ads option, the bonuses still have the ad icon but are free w/ button press

Offer pops up to watch an ad for a boost, you click "No Thanks" - you still get an ad every single time. Click to add balls, merge, etc a few times - boom, another ad. This might still be bearable, but after the first level there is absolutely nothing new - you just start over with a tiny track and have to endure countless ads to build it up. Uninstalling.
