No, but it’s a very well made game! It’s slower, yes, but still decently fun with a cool visual style and a unique upgrade element. Great job! ### 5/5 — Game is very good *2026-08-03, version 8.2.b69* Ads are few and totally optional, optimized gameplay, little to no lag, very satisfying ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-31, version 8.2.b69* It’s an absolute blast, and appropriately difficult but fair. My one critique, I’d you could call it that, is that the “full” version is not. This one seems to have significantly more content 😅 But maybe I’m misinterpreting the versions, either way this one is absolutely worth your time and maybe a few bucks too. ### 5/5 — I beat the game *2026-07-30, version 8.2.b69* Good game to play when you’re bored or in a ride. Also you really gotta get lucky to get good upgrades losing is part of the progress. ### 2/5 — Not the game on steam *2026-07-27, version 8.2.b69* I don’t know what i expected when i downloaded this for free but its a very mobile game version of the original. there is a lot of grinding required to progress or you just pay to win your way to the top ### 5/5 — awesome *2026-07-25, version 8.2.b69* possum ### 5/5 — Amazing Job *2026-07-25, version 8.2.b69* This game is just incredible, zero adds, and not at all pay to win, it’s very skill based and I fell in love with it. Thank you guys for making just a great game. ### 4/5 — It’s a fun game despite the optional ads! *2026-07-20, version 8.2.b69* I was reading through the reviews and wanted to point out areas that the game has changed for those thinking about getting 20 Minutes Till Dawn. Personally, the gameplay is enjoyable to me and, despite what other reviews might make it sound like, they give the option to watch ads instead of just forcing it on the user. I might have more patience than other reviewers and don’t mind watching videos to progress, but it is challenging to complete the full 20 – or 10 – minutes without watching ads. As a result, it is somewhat difficult to acquire enough points to power up the runes (runes enhance the gameplay, so you don’t need to rely so heavily on the power-ups). The ads needed to unlock some of the weapons and additional characters are boring to go through as many need anywhere from 2 ads (reasonable) to 10 (very much disheartening to sit through 10 to 20 minutes of ads), but it’s more manageable if you break up watching them in sections (a few one day and a few another day). In addition, while there are characters and accessories that require money if you are interested using them, none of them look vital to playing the base game. It simply seems like a means for the devs to earn money. Every item in the shop at the time of writing this are rather inexpensive, only costing 99 cents. The characters that you need to pay money to use seem to have overpowered abilities despite their basic to low HP. In conclusion, I recommend this game to those who have patience for ads if you want to get the full experience and for those who are okay with playing plenty of rounds to level up their stuff for those who despise ads. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-07-19, version 8.2.b69* It keeps me at the tips of my toes but it is temporary. Sure it’s slow at the start but it hypes up in like 3 minutes and then it… gets… SICK!!! ### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo. *2026-07-19* Melhor jogo que eu já vi 10/10 5 estrelas ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-17, version 8.2.b69* This game actually fun especially if you time to you wanna get rid off this is your game ### 5/5 — ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-11, version 8.2.b69* 10 Stars love this game have it on my switch also. I was browsing the store and decided to see if this 💎 was there and there it was! Can we get a zombie style or western or a mech version. And also can the restore past purchase option be fixed as I don’t want to pay twice for all the characters again ### 2/5 — Fantastic game, has a small bug tho *2026-07-09* Almost half the time after an ad ends, the music and sound effects stop playing. This can be fixed by restarting the game, but doing so rolls back your progress… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Long time player.. *2026-08-14, version 8.2.b69* Got this on pc, steam, and even bought this on mobile a long time ago. Seems like they want me to buy it again just to play it on my phone. No thanks. I'll be promptly deleting this from everything. Your game just isn't that special compared to the others out there. Bye. ### 1/5 — Delete the game *2026-08-02, version 8.2.b69* What a stupid game design, especially the endless mode ### 1/5 — Ad-zilla *2026-07-27, version 8.2.b69* If you like ads then expect them every 4 minutes while playing. Just like modern mobile games ads are the currency unless you’d like to pay for no ads for life then the game has no challenge because everything is basically free. It’s such a shame this version exists when the PC version has real dynamic pacing. I’d rather pay the PC price for this game than have it full of ads. Play this to feed the money hungry mobile empires. ### 1/5 — The micro transactions took me aback *2026-07-16, version 8.2.b69* It’s pretty much the same game but with way more micro transactions.. could do with some new characters too not just skins/fixes ### 1/5 — Бред а не противники *2026-07-14* В бесконечный режим невозможно играть до 1 босса, не дают развиться до того момента как их вообще возможно одолеть, кидает боссов которые начинаются вообще с 9-10 силы прохождения, дрочиться чисто на уровни скучно, пораниться в бесконечном режиме просто не дают возможности, прошу забалансировать его ### 1/5 — Need to watch Ad to begin?! *2026-07-11, version 8.2.b69* You can't even taste it first but straight to ad. What a game ### 1/5 — Не запускается игра *2026-06-25, version 8.1.b66* Начинается загрузка и замирает экран спустя 2 секунды ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-06-15, version 8.0.b65* Either pay or watch an absurd amount of ads to win your first round. ### 1/5 — Вот *2026-06-12* Интересная игра, но только один режим, остальные платно ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-03, version 8.0.b65* The very limited Color pallet makes the game hard to see and visually bland. There seem to be some upgrades to the visual but they are pay walled. Typically with a game like this you collect credits of some sort each run that you can spend to make you a little better next run. This game doesn’t do this instead opting to have those credits unlock new characters. Only about 3 can be unlocked this way for exorbitant amounts of credits; the rest are paywalled. As far as I can tell the other characters are even worse than the starter so what the is point? Finally the controls feel ever so slightly stiff in a way that is hard to describe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best rogue like *2026-08-29, version 8.4.b72* Top rogue like on mobile By far! ### 5/5 — W game *2026-08-29, version 8.4.b72* Fun game ### 5/5 — Got nothin to do? *2026-08-27, version 8.4.b72* Just a good way to pass the time, weather it’s a car ride or nothing to do, youll get entertained with either of the 3 game modes and the variety of weapons and characters. If they could make difficulties and challenges, it would be epic. ### 5/5 — 🥳 *2026-08-20, version 8.2.b69* Just buy the game 😁 ### 5/5 — Pure Bullet Heaven *2026-08-18* This game is what Gun Demon from Chainsaw Man dreamt of while asleep ### 5/5 — I love this game so much *2026-08-16, version 8.2.b69* This game is super fun and when you think you have everything there is more content worth the money all of the way ### 5/5 — Muito legal *2026-08-16* Jogo super viciante ### 5/5 — Such a good game *2026-08-15, version 8.2.b69* Very fun just lots of ads but it’s not a lot to get rid of them but very fun game! ### 5/5 — Good, but too many ads *2026-08-10, version 8.2.b69* 3.5 honestly could be alot better without so many ads ### 5/5 — Отличная игра *2026-08-03* 🔥 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
