### 3/5 — Good concept poor execution and way to many ads

*2025-12-11, version 2.41*

Game was pretty cool but honestly there’s so many damn ads you spend more time watching then playing for like every one or two games you play you get with another minute long ad

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2025-12-09, version 2.41*

It’s a pretty good game I just wish there was more it gets kind of boring

### 1/5 — Very bad don’t get this

*2025-06-11, version 2.41*

When you get to level 14 it is impossible I have been playing this game for a year and I still can’t beat this level

### 5/5 — Я люблю игри там где много крови

*2025-04-19, version 2.41*

Я люблю игри там где очень много крови

### 4/5 — I hate ads

*2025-04-08, version 2.41*

I understand ads allow games to make some profit so I’m all for it. But there should be a goddamn limit to the frequency and amount. I can’t finish a level without an ad. And god forbid I mess up the round and instead of restarting the round to try again I get interrupted by a 20 second ad. The first few times is ok. But when you have to do it every 3 rounds your patience wears thin pretty quick. Fun game really fun actually. But I don’t play the
Game. I watch ads. Not worth. Lower frequency but I’m deleting the game for now till it’s sorted. 1 ad every 5 rounds will suffice. Not every 3 attempts.

### 4/5 — Super

*2025-04-05, version 2.41*

So ein spiel hab ich noch nie gesehen. Aber das spiel ist sehr gut und macht auch spaß. 
Top!

### 1/5 — Fun idea, ruined by adds

*2025-03-18*

It’s a fun game, but not very challenging. Maybe the later levels are more interesting, but I couldn’t put up with the adds long enough to make it there. You get an add every third time you play a level. It’s just too much for what the game is ultimately offering. Not worth your time.

### 4/5 — Ridiculous

*2025-02-06, version 2.41*

I got adds ever damm minute in this stupid game.im not going to pay 3 dollars to remove adds…

### 1/5 — Невозможный уровень

*2024-10-10*

14 никак не пройти потратил полчаса и так и не смог пройти

### 3/5 — It’s a puzzle game

*2024-09-26*

It’s fun for about 30 minutes then it get boring. Only one route for the most part and you figure it out by dying multiple times.
