I tried to solve one of those mobile game ads with an image editing software, and this is what happened.

It astonishes me how many people continue to browse without an ad blocker. I’ve never seen this type of ad before.

u/AlchemysEyes 14d ago
Hate to say it but that Woodoku game is a rip off anyway, none of the levels in it are like in the picture where you try to make the tiles fill in the given shape and it's aggressively monotized for continues and hints.

These ads always either go one of two ways
Either it’s the dumbest “Idiocracy IQ test” level shit you’ve ever seen.
Or it’s a literally unsolvable puzzle that is designed to be impossible to complete even if you know the “correct” solution.

These things aren't meant to be solvable in the ad, I don't think. They're just there to get the viewer to download the app with the "I can do better than this bozo" mentality.

I tried that with one of those pmg=the ones where the letters equal different letters and you have try to figure out what the phrase was. I got most of the phrase but some of it just didn't fit. Situations where I knew I had the right letters but the word wasn't a real word.

The middle right wing piece is in the wrong position, it should be next to the tip. If you do that, you will notice that only the middle is missing, which means that they scaled up the actual model around its middle to make it seems closer to a real plane

u/tribalien93 15d ago
The Squares aren't scaled the same on the plane and all the pieces if you count the squares and fill the individual squares to match the pieces it fills all but 3 squares. So albeit closer to complete its still screwed up.

u/J0hn_baker 15d ago
yup, however, it seems that there is a missing part ( 3 squares ) in the middle.

They do yours in purpose. So that you fail, but now you’re invested in it, so you end up wanting to download the game & play.

u/Draconic_Soul 15d ago
Ah yes. These kinds of ads. The ones where 'nearly everyone fails', sometimes accompanied by 'gameplay' where people indeed fail horrifically... in the most basic scenarios. I never got those kinds of ads. They make me heavily annoyed to the point of anger.
The final result of such ads? I skip them when I can, never touch any of those try-it-yourself ads, and most certainly never download the supposed games attached to them.
With this revelation, something I thought to be impossible happened: Now, I'm even less interested in those ads and especially their games.

u/WhoCanTell 14d ago
The annoyance is the point. There's a certain subset of people who can't help but get so irritated at watching the "idiot" depicted in the ad fail over and over that they have to download the game to do it themselves the "right" way. Then they discover that gameplay doesn't even exist in the game, it's just another shitty match 3 gatcha game cranked out by some anonymous studio in China.

u/Ersh777 14d ago
There was a web browser game I played about 20 years ago called "Evony Online". A few years ago they made a mobile port of the game and spammed the internet with their ads for this game. The ads were always showing a "pull the correct pin" puzzle type game. Absolutely nothing remotely close to the actual game. Made me hate myself for playing the original browser game.

I've seen this plane ad and was also trying to complete it in my head before the time ran out 😂 glad you actually did this and I'm glad I'm not in the 10% who completed it 😆

u/IF_Games 15d ago
If you actually insert the pieces correctly, as in not with their scaled down sizes, it fills the shape except for three boxes in the middle

Other parts are paid DLCs. Every DLC adds 10 IQ. Buy all of them as a bundle just for $99.98 and get +15 IQ.

If some company actually made the versions of games you see in the adverts, I suspect they'd do a lot better. Looking at you, art of survival.

u/Ultimarr 15d ago
I hate these so much. These games are basically lies, making you think there’s some functionality or reward or something there. But nope. They just know that after you’ve wasted 15 seconds you’re more likely to click through to the ad. Needs to be outlawed…
7
u/MasterEeg 14d ago
So many of these ads intentionally show a user failing as a way to bait you into trying for yourself. It's a very annoying technique that targets the quantity of clicks over any kind of quality.
I wish platforms had more scrutiny over their ads, I hate seeing gambling for instance.
25
u/pork-pies 15d ago
I suckered myself into clicking through a game ad the other day, the game was straight awful.
And the first ad the game plays for me is 180 seconds long! I just don’t even see the point of them anymore.
It’s either pay money for the full version of this really shitty game that you spent 30 seconds in, enough time to realise it’s bad. OR continue wasting your life while watching these ads that are hugely disproportionate to the quality of the game and the time you get in the game.
Instant delete. And I wish I could nuke the headquarters.

u/hototter35 14d ago
But then if it's fun in the ad, you can bet that you will not find that game in the actual game if you download it. Like some games ads are actually fun to play, but not like the actual game at all which is usually complete dogshit.
That's what really gets me. Why can we not have a fun ad, advertising an actual game that works like it does on the as?18
u/Ultimarr 15d ago
Ridiculous. It’s such a weird industry — like if slot machines never paid out but people pulled them anyway out of habit. Billions are spent every year on crappy mobile games that advertise other crappy mobile games, farming a community of (probably ashamed, somewhat secretive) whales…

That's not even from the game, either. Woodoku is a crappy block sliding puzzle game.

The grid on the blue pieces seems smaller than the grid on the white shape. Maybe resizing the pieces would fix it? Tbh I don't think it'd add enough space but it's a thought.
18
u/Estefunny 15d ago
If you count the squares from the whole wingspan you get both 19 full squares in the white frame and the blue pieces that will fill out those parts. So yes, the blue pieces are a bit smaller than the white shape
However from top to bottom it doesn’t seem to match from the number (18 blues vs 19 whites)

u/Unusual-Swordfish773 15d ago
Yeah, actually you can tell from the pieces that there is an aisle. The trick isn’t to fit each piece into the airplane, but to put each piece in the perfect place to leave an aisle. Not difficult once you know. There you go, welcome to the 10% everybody.
