### 2/5 — Controls not ergonomic for iPhone 12 mini

*2021-05-24*

Please allow a little larger + more centered left / right and flail on this device. The game is incredibly hard to play and no one cares about these users.

### 2/5 — READ IDIOT

*2020-09-19, version 1.3*

THIS GAME IS STUPID I HATE IT ITS CRAP THE CONTROLS ARE STUPID AND DUMB TGE BOTS ARE WAY TO HARD!! MAKE MORE CONTROLLS DUM IDIOT

### 4/5 — Games pretty entertaining

*2020-08-12*

I just hope the developer doesn’t let a game with great potential go to waste. There’s so much more to include in this game that would make it a top #100 App Store game like more characters, options to enchanted your fighter and a possibly an online platform. Only gave it 4 stars because of its simplicity. It can be a great game especially if the animation was improved on a little more.

### 4/5 — I love this game!

*2020-06-01*

It’s really fun! I just keep playing the game over and over again in endless i got 60 ppl down. Anyway its fun and addicting but it needs more updates.

### 3/5 — THE MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!

*2019-09-25*

I honestly think this game is ok. It’s graphics are nice, but the controls, your stupid. They never let me move, and when I turn my phone, it glitches and it won’t turn back to the right orientation. This game is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E with controls. But overall, it’s pretty neat!

### 4/5 — Update needed

*2019-06-13*

I like this game it’s very fun but I do hope there will be updates added even though this game is kinda old but I’m sure theirs still tons of people playing. Maybe add like new people, hairs, different cloths, etc.

### 2/5 — RESTORE PURCHASES BUTTON DOEST WORK

*2018-09-06, version 1.2*

Great time waster though.

### 2/5 — Way to hard

*2018-06-02*

It’s just way way way to hard ok

### 4/5 — つよ

*2018-05-18*

かつらうざいwww

### 4/5 — Easy to learn hard to master

*2017-12-11*

The game seems boring and random at first but there is a lot of skill involved even with such simple controls. The game is very fun, but the tournament is too short and too easy, and all that is left is Endless Mode which gets pretty boring. Otherwise I love the concept. I hope they can add more things to do in the game by maybe adding a longer tournament, and online play. Hopefully they can also add more depth to the game by adding a leveling system and things to unlock or buy. I can see the game grow into much more than a simple pick up and play arcade game.

### 4/5 — Отлично.

*2017-10-10*

Good!I like it but I need more levels and characters and may be weapons.

### 5/5 — Fun but needs more

*2017-08-07*

The game is really fun and it is an awesome idea but I think it needs unlockable weapons unlockable characters and online multiplayer, also it was too short and easy to finish

### 5/5 — So stupid it's fun

*2017-07-05*

### 5/5 — Самый лучший таймкиллер!

### 1/5 — Good but this is what happens when you play too much.........

*2020-07-15*

I can’t take it anymore every time I look and the guy with the green hat his eyes give me the creeps I have downloaded this game at night and then had nightmares I have to delete it I can’t take it anymore this is the worst experience of my life 😥😥😥😥

### 1/5 — Not good please fix

*2020-01-02, version 1.3*

To be honest this game isn’t that good, not trying to give bad negative energy around when I hit it, it doesn’t connect the way you made the game so I would rate this 1 out of 5

### 1/5 — This game doodoo

*2018-08-30, version 1.2*

This game is trash

### 1/5 — ℭrap

*2017-12-07, version 1.2*

Why tf do i keep hitting myself?! This game is so stupid and so is the creator/s

### 1/5 — Bugs and boring

*2017-06-24*

When I hit the opponent, one of a few times it kills my character instead. Kind of a boring game otherwise.

### 1/5 — Tournament is entirely luck

*2017-05-17, version 1.2*

You have to press the button at a very specific time! AND YOU HAVE TO DO THAT 3 TIMES?!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2017-02-16*

Enemies don't even come close to hitting me but I die and they can just constantly attack without messing up but I have to let the flail be completely still before it works

### 1/5 — Crap

*2017-02-15*

This game is garbage. Don't get it it's a waste of time. It's super unfair and if the isle was "epic fail" instead, then it would've just meant the game

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2016-06-13, version 1.0*

How is it possible that the enemy won't attack till you are absolutely get hit 
This is a froud! Don't get it

### 1/5 — 👎🏻really?!👎🏻

*2016-03-22, version 1.0*

This game is just plain out awful the characters look like they game out of a dumpster and the mechanics the game has are awful! Your weapon always gets stuck on you and then you die! So unfair to me. Get this game if you like awful games!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

the暇つぶし。
ちょっと頭悪そうなこの感じがとても良い。
フレイルで頭をぶん殴るってシンプルさと、妙にリアルなフレイルの物理演算。

### 5/5 — Yea!!!

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2018-05-30*

Simple et efficace, la physique est convaincante, les coups sont brutaux.
Des bruitages de broyage et des cris serais un plus.

### 5/5 — Hell yea.

*2018-04-14*

Simple and fun game for people who like smashing faces. I love ragdoll physics so this game is one of my favorite time killers.
