The RNG in this game is the deciding factor if you win or lose unless every single card in your deck is stacked. ### 3/5 — Some what rigged *2026-07-28, version 1.179.1* I honestly love all of these shows they use for this game so it’s a shame this is like a 3/10 game :/ I wonder if the online modes use actual players considering most of the users are numbers n letters. And fighting against said players feels rigged bcuz u either go against someone with starter cards or someone with (as i would put it) level 100 cards. It feels like it’s ment to keep you at a 50% win rate and that’s not fun. This game suffers from the story mode being too easy and the online being too hard. Like i said earlier, 3/10 ### 2/5 — What? *2026-07-17, version 1.178.1* Once you reach level 15 you don’t get any more experience. You only get VIP points that you have to pay to use. It’s all auto fight and if you autofill your deck, it’ll give you maybe one or two character cards. Makes no sense. It’s cute if you like the shows but even that is lost on me since I can’t progress or do anything enjoyable. I keep coming back after leaving for years and it just gets worse. You can tell the devs have just given up. I will too. ### 4/5 — 👍🏻 *2026-07-10, version 1.178.0* YESSSSS ### 3/5 — Pay wall oriented *2026-06-29, version 1.177.3* You have to be rich to play this game. It’s gold for a month or two, then you get to the point where you max out all your legendaries and can only progress by fighting everyone with an over drafted KLARNA account worth of mythics. Every PvP duel is just won by simply who paid the most for their decks. Some skill does play into it, and you can win based off of RNG. I would recommend till you get to around silver in PvP 🤣 ### 1/5 — Bring back the rewards for Recycling Epic/Legendary Cards! *2026-06-23, version 1.177.3* Please bring back the Super Legendary Stones for recycling Epics/Legendaries. Please bring back the chance of earning Mythic items when recycling Legendaries. The way you can do this is to make it so: 1) The first time you recycle a card, the buyback price is the old buyback price. 2) Only the first recycle will give the Super Legendary Stones. 3) Only the first recycle of Legendary cards will have a chance of giving Mythic items. 4) All recycles after the first will give Giggitywatts only. 5) All buybacks after the first will be the new 1:1 ratio. Please add a way to disable Foils, or at least the ability to unfoil cards (you can do this by recycling, but you can't recycle Mythics). ### 3/5 — cant get bobs burgers cards as much as the others *2026-06-22, version 1.177.2* i like the game but its really hard to get the bobs burgers characters and thats the main reason why i play this itwould be cool if you added an adventure island for bobs burgers, also i didn’t like the fact you changed mr fischoder to shelby as he was my favorite card and shelby as a character in general i didn’t like ### 1/5 — Bring back the rewards for Recycling Epic/Legendary Cards! *2026-06-19, version 1.177.2* Please bring back the Super Legendary Stones for recycling Epics/Legendaries. Please bring back the chance of earning Mythic items when recycling Legendaries.

So the game is fun and I can it had a ton of possible amazing directions. But once you look this game up you will start to see drastically clear the pattern. Everybody who is giving tips or writing reviews stopped at exactly 6 years ago. And honestly I can see why.The egregious ads for one thing! They legitimately move and hide the x button and intentionally set up traps hoping you will click it the wrong way and loose money. not only do you add low ability for someone to have fun and play without some type of currency being spent. No free story missions or practice arena. Nothing really free to be able to have fun in this game playtime wise. Then you go in you add ads with all these negative flaws to them that purposely irritate the viewer. I mean you had something special but it’s obvious online you trashed your reputation and tbh I can see why. GREED ONLY GETS YOU SO FARa, ### 1/5 — the tutorial is awful *2026-06-15, version 1.177.2* im a grown man. i dont want to have my hand held throughout the beginning of the game. the concept seems cool but the game gives you absolutely no freedom to figure it out on your own. i played for 15 minutes before uninstalling. the constant popups, annoying dialogue, and the complete lack of freedom make up for the worst tutorial experience ive ever had in a game. i want to be able to experience the learning curve for myself, not be told exactly how to play the game by the game itself. i dont appreciate the assumption from the developers that im stupid, its downright disrespectful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bring back the rewards for Recycling Epic/Legendary Cards! *2026-08-18, version 1.179.2* PLEASE bring back the Super Legendary Stones for recycling Epics/Legendaries.

I see the game has updated recently as I was playing on my phone. Why in the world are you allowing us to download something thats broken! I’ll go to developers site and also play other games to get gems…. ### 1/5 — Waste of battery *2026-07-07, version 1.178.0* Don’t down load They want too much money to unlock anything worth while. If you do decide to go free you can not end any ads, even when you watch it in full ### 1/5 — Multiple tutorial soft locks *2026-07-05, version 1.178.0* I’ve seen multiple people including my brother where the game just doesn’t progress during certain points. Specifically it’s the collection screen introduction. It doesn’t freeze, it doesn’t work after restarting and it’s impossible to get pass the collection screen. It’s a fantastic way to turn away new players! Please fix! ### 1/5 — It’s paid to win *2026-07-03, version 1.178.0* I’ve played this game for years and I still get destroyed by newbies that just bought all the upgrades ### 1/5 — Bring back the rewards for Recycling Epic/Legendary Cards! *2026-07-01, version 1.178.0* PLEASE bring back the Super Legendary Stones for recycling Epics/Legendaries.

These tutorials aren’t even needed anyone w common sense can figure out how to do it after you make them do it more than 2x. Genuinely thinking about deleting the app just because of the excessive amount of tutorials it’s insanely annoying ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-08-23, version 1.179.2* It’s really fun and there’s a lot of deep cuts ### 5/5 — At ccg *2026-08-12, version 1.179.1* Love the game spend most of my down time on it but lately the adventure mode won’t load up ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-08-01, version 1.179.1* Absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-07-21, version 1.178.2* A fun filled card game with both family and futurama?!?!? Yes please!!!! ### 5/5 — Easy game to get sucked into! *2026-07-07, version 1.178.0* If you’re a fan of tcg’s and animated shows this game is for you! It’s a pleasant mashup between collection and combat that doesn’t feel too series and always leaves you feeling rewarded. You have endless events, collections, cards, challenges, and packs to choose from where it’s a marathon not a sprint. Would love to see the addition of flavor texts underneath of the card when you click in to view it, a quote pertaining to the imagine or episode displayed on the card. Overall a fun game that is staying fun. ### 5/5 — Freaking awesome *2026-06-24, version 1.177.3* Fun game love all the characters from all of the shows I watch daily and the combos are endless great game over all 10/10 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-18, version 1.177.2* Love it ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-16, version 1.177.2* The game is amazing to play thank you give more fuse time 1h/r gifts lol thank you ### 5/5 — Love This Game!!! *2026-06-11, version 1.177* Shows I think you guys should add to the game - The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, South Park, and Beavis and Butt-Head ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-06-08, version 1.177* Exquisite game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
