I’m working on an Android platform climber and got stuck on the revive screen.

On paper, watching a rewarded ad to return to the platform is just another option. In the middle of a run, though, it also interrupts that quick “okay, one more try” moment.

I added a fall continue and an interstitial two days ago, then reverted both changes. The game still has rewarded ads, with no in-app purchases.

If you fall in a climbing game, do you want that continue button at all? Do you ignore it, use it occasionally, or does seeing it make you less likely to retry?
