It’s ok

It’s ok but it got so many ads

Awful Ads

Game is okay, it’s a blatant ripoff of other games but so is everything on the App Store.

The real issue with the game is ads. Every. Single. Ad. That I got, either rewarded or not, are literally 3 minutes long.

Every single one is 120 seconds for the first part of the ad, then another 60 seconds for the second part.

Get a grip “developers”, stop copying other people’s work and stop making the ads 3 minutes long.

Ad breaks

The game is fun and all but the constant ad breaks are extremely annoying. Every single time I start playing I get an ad break right after clearing 1 stage. If I wanted a break I would stop playing and come back. I would like to keep playing without getting those stupid ad breaks all the time...

Fun but to many ads

Me and the kids got the game, very fun. But after 10,000 ads would take 1 hr to get through a stage. I get having adds but 20 adds for 4 stages was redicoulous

Ads ads ads

Way way way too many ads. You can’t progress without watching all of them . You will spend x10 as much time watching ads as playing the game.

Won’t load

Come on guys. You can do better than this. Game won’t even load! Seriously, looks like a fun game but as soon as I click on something it gives me the circle of death. I will gladly download again if this problem is addressed and/or fixed.

Fun

I downloaded this game because I didn’t want to play as an anime Girl that’s all

Ads

Surprised that you aren’t required to watch an ad just to open the game. If ad simulator is your thing this is a great game, if like me you’re tired of content being made excessively long unless you sit down and watch hours of ads do not download this game.

Forced adds

It’s not an option after 3 levels you have to watch adds to play the game

Too Many Ads

Spent more time watching ads than actual gameplay. I enjoyed the game and the concept, but my time is worth more to me than to spend it watching ads.

Ads, ads, ads, ads.... Did I mention ads?

Game is fun, but ads all the time for every little thing. So old, deleted after about an hour. Not worth it.

Ad heavy, requires sub to X ads. Forces ads

Cute enough game and it didn’t seem much of an issue to watch an ad for unique parts or advanced parts to enhance gameplay.

But I shouldn’t have to watch an ad for each round of a 15x round match to attempt to play the “Elite” portion of the game.

Ad removal, even for simple level play requires a subscription. Give this game a skip due to predatory and vampiric behavior towards your wallet.

Pity, it was cute and decent idle game but I’ll not agree to be harassed with ads just to progress to the next round.

Do better or you’re just a leech developers. I get you need to earn money, but this is excessive.

Frigidly polite, but dismissive regards. Be well. Be *better*.

Goes from easy to impossible

The game is a little too easy for the first volley of levels, then when you get to the 15th stage (where completing it unlocks elite) the game becomes practically impossible. The ranges enemies do far too much damage and your backpack is just too small to be able to effectively fight them. It also really doesn’t help that they can start hitting you from halfway across the board. Am I the only one who kinda liked the game until hitting this wall and am uninstalling?

Fun enough, but missing QoL

Fun enough game, but missing some QoL items that other games in the same vein just do better.
1. Add an option to store a piece of gear from the shop between rerolls/ rounds. Hard to advance gear up to higher tiers if the only option to do so is to get rid of other gear in your limited inventory
2. Add an option to watch an add to get extra bag space, every other game has this so it’s surprising that it’s missing from this one
3. Adjust the 2x speed option, it shouldn’t be a 10 minute span of 2x, it’d be much better if it lasted the rest of the chapter you’re on

Great game

One of the best games I have ever played

dumb

higher lvl can’t start with enemies with over 300 hit pts… and crappy damage. these guys are morons… now it’s about money… get bent you dolts. can’t pick your target.

Don’t waste your time

There is a monthly “ad-free unlock” that doesn’t make it ad free. If you play a level you will get plenty of ads in the middle of the level. Customer support said this is intentional and ad-free doesn’t include ads during gameplay. The game is slow enough and doesn’t need to be made even slower with ad delays. Skip it and move on.

Loving this games
