Can’t purchase anything in game and can’t eliminate ads. ### 5/5 — Logan *2026-04-10, version 3.6.15* you should make a second part of this game like add a bunch more aliens because the alien designs are cool and all that ### 1/5 — Was Interesting and fun not any more too many Ads *2025-10-07, version 3.6.15* I have had this game for years. Now it is full of obnoxious ads that are super long and glitch. Used to be a Good game wish the music would change loops too much. Greed ruins everything. I paid for this app. Horriblec ### 5/5 — Logan *2025-05-21* you should make a second part of this game like ad a bunch more aliens because the alien designs are cool and all that ### 1/5 — Ads glitch every time *2025-01-27, version 3.6.13* Every time there's an ad, it glitches and I have to exit the app and open it again, and then don't get credit for any gold, even if it's from finishing a level. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-01-25, version 3.6.13* I love this game so much that I’ve played for many years as it gives me a zen state of mind. ### 1/5 — Ad Tracking *2024-10-21, version 3.6.13* There is no good reason for require ad tracking outside of the game. ### 2/5 — Great game, played for years, but… *2024-10-11, version 3.6.13* All of a sudden in August 2025, you watch an ad and you cannot close it once it is over, making it impossible to play. Unless they roll out a new bug fix, I might have to give up on this one. It was one of my go-to games when I was bored for many years now. ### 5/5 — Never gets old *2024-08-13, version 3.6.13* I’ve been playing this game on and off for YEARS. I still haven’t gotten tired of it. I play it almost every night when I’m relaxing before bed. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it. ### 1/5 — Cannot Play Due to Ads *2024-08-09, version 3.6.13* Ads have gotten incredibly obnoxious. Just this morning, I got stuck in an ad and could not move out of it, closed the game, opened it again, and the same thing happened. I was not able to play the game. Ads force you to click something rather than just running down a timer. They pop up constantly. Really bad user experience that has diminished my interaction with the game. Ironically I’m watching fewer ads as a result. The game itself is awesome. This would have been my second round with it. ## Frequently asked questions about Alien Hive ### What is Alien Hive?
