Zombie Rush offline-power claim versus the store’s idle-income wording
A Meta Ad Library idle shooter promises you keep getting stronger offline and wake as a “war god”. The Play Store supports offline progress and idle income—without that magnitude. Flag the overclaim before another timeskip cut.

Observation versus inference
Observed: the library text and the store body/features quoted above.
Inference: Replacing “war god” magnitude language with the store’s “idle income / progress while offline” wording, holding destination and duration constant, reduces mismatched power expectation in a lab comprehension check.
Not claimed: frame-level timing; first-session tutorial path beyond store copy; any KPI; legal compliance verdicts.
Next-test brief (falsifiable)
| Test element | Specification |
|---|---|
| Control | Current hook/claim wording from Library ID 1089014434089017 |
| Variant | Same duration, destination and CTA; rewrite only the disputed promise line toward store language (or add dated expiry where the claim is live-ops) |
| Hold constant | App, market, OS, optimisation objective |
| Readout | Unprompted expectation check (what action/reward do you expect in session one?) plus store-visit→install continuity—not CTR alone |
| Stop rule | Reject a cut that improves hook metrics while increasing mismatch with the live store listing |
