Hi, We have created a game zero to billionaire.

It is a simple text based clicker game. We have adopted a unique approach for in app purchase along with advertisement for monetizing the game. I would like to know your feedback on in app purchase strategies adopted inside game. Also whether ads are interfering with user experience.You can download the game below.

This is an area I'm definitely interested in, except I don't have an Android device, so I can't download your app to check it out.  Would you mind putting together a description about how your monetization strategy is set up for those of us who can't download the app?

I just played. First off, I really like the idea of the game!

As far as monetizing, I think you already have a nice approach. The way you are monetizing now works seamlessly with the game and it does not seem forced.

I liked how when you die, you can either start over or purchase to "revive" or resurrect. Good job here. I also like the ability to watch a video ad for an incentive as well.

And of course the classic, remove ads feature.

I think you already have your monetization strategy in place man. Not sure what else you could that would not totally intrude on the gameplay and possibly annoy users way.

I say for now keep the strategies you have but you need SCALE. As i'm sure you know, in order to make money with it, its what you will need.

I will play more and reply back if I have anything else to add.

Really like the game flow and concept. I only played a few minutes so I'm not sure how these ideas might impact gameplay, but here are a couple ideas:

1) One-off boosters that positively impact health, energy, happiness. Simple could be a "Nirvana Potion" and when you drink (click) it, it takes all stats back to 100%. Let people use real money to buy batches of Nirvana Potions --- $1 - 3 potions, $3 - 10 potions, etc. Show the booster button/icon on the page with the stats so the user is constantly reminded/tempted that they could with a single click get to 100%.

2) For every item that the player is going to buy (i.e. Skills, Tools, etc.), let them watch a video ad to lower the price by 20%. So have a retail price of $100, but show them the discount rate of $80 if they willing to watch an ad before buying.

Good luck!
