### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-08-23, version 1.179.2*

It’s really fun and there’s a lot of deep cuts

### 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. 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).

### 4/5 — Games prettay goood

*2026-08-18, version 1.179.2*

I like it just a lot of micro transactions, options, and optional ads

### 1/5 — Tutorial

*2026-08-13, version 1.179.1*

Makes the game so unfun and I lost interest in the game so fast cause of the long tutorial at least make it to where you can skip it

### 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

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-08-09, version 1.179.1*

It’s a fun game a lot of different cards but they should add the Simpsons to make it better

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-08-01, version 1.179.1*

Absolutely amazing

### 2/5 — Rng

*2026-07-29, version 1.179.1*

The game is addicting, however it doesn’t make any sense as to why most games I get to use my powerful cards and then theres a few one-offs where I don’t see a single one of my powerful cards throughout the whole match and get absolutely slaughtered. 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

### 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!!!!
