How can I stop my iPad from dimming every 30 seconds?

I’m trying to play a game and it dims every 30 seconds or so. Annoying to have to click to brighten the screen again every 30 seconds. Anyone have any suggestions?

Go to settings, then display & brightness, then Auto-Lock, choose how long you'd like that. But iPad won't dim in 30 seconds unless you have low power mode on, turn it off then it will be resolved. Using low power mode is also reducing your iPads performance and features. Turn it off and use the most out of what you paid for! Hope this helps
