Scam Warning: Frogs Kitchen

 Frogs Kitchen is currently one of the "highest paying" game offers on the leading GPT sites. However, I strongly suggest not installing it for the following reasons:

> I VERY strongly suspect it is stealth installing a persistent advertising overlay script (with some sort of porny romance novel ads that rotate, along with fake YouTube and Facebook Messenger notification buttons) on Android devices after a few days of play, without any user notification or permission. The overlay appears in both the Chrome browser and the Play Store. It can be removed by clearing the Chrome cache completely, but running the game again (without watching any ads) brought it back, and it did not stay away until I completely uninstalled the game and nuked Chrome history. Thus I very strongly suspect the app itself is doing it rather than any ads it is serving. Look out for more mentions of this in more recent reviews and forum posts, because I can't be the only one that got it. 

> Other users are reporting frequent chargebacks for goals past level 25 in forum posts, and challenges to these do not work even when documented

> Some reviews on the app stores also indicate when the game updates, it sometimes removes perks you paid real money for

> Even if it works perfectly, you slam into a very abrupt progress wall at Level 13 in which the price to level up and unlock new foods skyrockets, and the ads you are offered for bonus money are stuck at a pittance (like 1/10th to 1/20th of one food level upgrade) forever when they had previously been pretty generous. I can't see getting past this point in less than a week without spending a bunch of real money, but for the reasons listed above that seems like a really bad idea. 

> The developer, Outloud Games, has only a handful of other no-name games and the reviews for some of the other ones mention similar well-known "malvertising" ads dating back to at least several months ago

Slime Loop: Color Puzzle GPT Offer Guide

 

> In terms of "strategy", the only thing to really note is that there is now a nice YouTube channel that has solutions for a lot of the levels

> The only levels that you should need a walkthrough for are the ones labeled "hard." Some of the regular ones can be long, but have a lot of tolerance for not picking your slimes in the right order. The more "hard" they are the more there's a rigid sequence you absolutely have to follow or you'll corner yourself eventually.

> At the end of each level, you might as well watch the optional video ad for bonus coins. It's going to make you watch a video anyway and it's often the exact same one.

> The only purpose of coins is to blow through the occasional troublesome level. You won't get enough coins to do more than one every once in a great while.

> The goals tend to focus on completing the "Reward Trail" levels. These are related to the regular levels, but not the same thing. The structure of the game is just one long string of regular levels. At level 11 (easily completed within your first hour or so), you unlock the "Reward Trail" feature. From there on out you get some bonus points for this feature whenever you complete a regular level. It takes about 30 to 40 regular levels to complete one "Reward Trail" level, so plan accordingly.

> The game seems to have notorious problems with tracking issues as of this writing. Most of these seem to involve AdGate as the provider, and Freecash as the platform. I tried this with Prodege via Earnopolis and it tracked just fine from the beginning. 

> The upside of this offer is that you can bulldoze through it if you have the time and patience. The levels all have a fixed pattern and solutions are available. However, it is a massive time-consuming grind even with solutions available. Getting stuck on a level without solutions can also add a tremendous amount of unprofitable time.
