I just went back, and they still occur. Just had the game showing me how to do the roulette, use a partner, pop ups for wisps, pop up for facebook sharing, pop up for every passing goal. Just saying I think its done better in other games. The endless running itself gets old fast and doesnt motivate me to keep playing.
Edit: what i mean to say really is that i dont like mobile gaming f2p traditions, so anyone who's more accustomed to this stuff, I am not so excuse me if I sound ignorant.
