The progression is easy to follow. I do have one question for the developer. I paid for the “no ads” feature, but I’m still getting ad pop ups as I play. And the offer button is still on screen. But the game identifies that I purchased the offer. Is that a known bug? ### 2/5 — Ad-Free Upgrade is a Lie *2026-04-30, version 2.0.0* Don’t buy the “ad-free” version upgrade for $2.99. I did and I’m still getting ads. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-04-05, version 2.0.0* I bought the $2.99 ads off and I still get ads. This game is rip off. ### 1/5 — Nonstop adds *2026-01-28, version 2.0.0* Literally 65% of my game time is stuck watching adds that pop up. Completely ruins the gameplay and ability to do anything ### 1/5 — Fake paid positive reviews. Unlimited ad works *2026-01-03, version 2.0.0* Don’t trust the damn positive reviews or even 2-4 star ratings.If I could I would have given this ad infested game -99999 rating. EVERY 30 secs forced ad. If I close the game and reopen, I lose my progress n had to start over. F F F ### 3/5 — Ads problem *2026-01-01, version 2.0.0* I bought to not have ads but I still have it with ads they should solve that problem but it's enjoyable ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-12-08, version 2.0.0* Paid for no ads, kept getting ads ### 1/5 — No ads doesn’t work *2025-11-15, version 2.0.0* Paid to play this game with no ads and they are still there. Lame. ### 3/5 — LAG AS HECK *2025-10-16, version 2.0.0* Laggy to death FIX THIS ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-05, version 2.0.0* This game seemed ok but is ram packed with annoying adverts. I clicked the ‘no advert’ button and it cost £2.99 to remove the adverts. This did absolutely nothing and it still gives you the option to remove the adverts for £2.99. Do not buy this scam of an app. I’m currently trying to find a way to report it but doubt I’ll be successful. ### 2/5 — Still can see stupid abs *2025-09-04, version 2.0.0* I paid appx. $3 but still see abs… ### 2/5 — Solid idea ruin by the amount of ads *2025-08-27, version 2.0.0* Starts as a great game but is quickly ruined by constant ads and features hidden behind ads ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-08-07, version 2.0.0* The amount of ads is a little ridiculous ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-07-27, version 2.0.0* It’s just an ad watching simulator with some walking attached ### 1/5 — Ads after paid *2025-07-23, version 2.0.0* I just wanted to play a game and as usual the ads started. Extra aggressive in this game. Thought ok, will pay £3 for no ads. But you still get ads all the time! Rip off. Last time I try. Free games and no buying for me. Learned my lesson. ### 1/5 — Complete scam *2025-07-16, version 2.0.0* I paid for no ads, i still have ads all the time. ### 2/5 — No ads doesnt work *2025-07-14, version 2.0.0* Fun but spent the money for no adds and their are still adds. Please fix or refund. ### 1/5 — So annoying *2025-07-10, version 2.0.0* I paid for ads to stop I got scammed ### 1/5 — Remove ads doesn’t work *2025-06-05, version 2.0.0* What a ripoff ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2026-08-15, version 3.0.0* Too many Ads,spoils the mood ### 1/5 — AD scam! *2026-08-12, version 3.0.0* Total AD trash game. Can’t get anything without watching an AD then gets stuck. App Store needs to ban this nonsense garbage game. ### 1/5 — Fun but ads *2026-06-26, version 2.0.0* Ads galore, even paid the $3, unstoppable ads ### 1/5 — Stay away *2026-04-22, version 2.0.0* Paid for no ads and well there is still adds clicked on restore purchase and still adds even thow my credit card was charged!! Stay away. ### 1/5 — Fix your game *2026-04-13, version 2.0.0* Bought the no ads and it doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Paid for no ads, still have ads *2026-04-01, version 2.0.0* Paid like 4 bucks to not have ads. Still need to watch ads for all the in-game rewards, which I found annoying but got over it. On top of that though, all the forced ads still pop up. This is theft and I’m reaching out to Apple to report this ### 1/5 — Awesome game for Ads!!! *2026-03-18, version 2.0.0* Love ads???? Can’t get enough?? Look no further. This game has several AWESOME features which basically allows you to do nothing but watch ads! Want a weapon upgrade? Watch an ad! Run around and collect money? Watch an ad! Stand still inside your base for 8 seconds? Watch an ad! And don’t worry, the ads are NOT unique or diverse in anyway, so you get to see the same exact ones over and over and over and they pop up completely unsolicited RIGHT in the middle of your game play! Truly a one of a kind game that will have you throwing your phone out the window in no time!!! ### 1/5 — Add free does nothing. *2026-03-07, version 2.0.0* Purchased add free, still have random forced adds, still have optional adds, still have banner adds, no type of adds are removed by purchasing no adds. Closed the game and re opened it, same thing. Used restore purchases, game said I already have it, same thing. Do not buy add free until they fix it, when/if they do I will change my review. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-14, version 2.0.0* Theres an advert every 30 seconds … pay the 2.99 to stop them and still an advert every 30 seconds with the prompt to pay to go add free still there ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-12, version 2.0.0* Paid for no adds and there is loads it won’t restore purchases ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting *2023-11-22, version 2.0.0* Playing it for the third time. Towards the end of the game it randomly starts lagging very badly and makes it unplayable. Other then that good game. ### 5/5 — By *2023-02-14, version 1.8.6* My only review is that there are only fifteen levels and it makes the game really boring when you’re at level 15 just please add new levels and possibly add more mobs I rated 5 stars to get you’re attention but it’s 3 just because of those things overall it’s a great game and really fun but please add new levels if you did that would be a solid 5 star game ### 5/5 — No improvements! *2023-02-12, version 1.8.6* The game is just great,Rollic Games so that is why I am writing this review! Very good and well done! ### 5/5 — Y’all are so stupid *2023-01-23, version 1.8.4* If you don’t want ads, THEN PLAY THE GAME WITH YOUR INTERNET OFF ### 5/5 — Super cool game *2022-10-15, version 1.8.2* If you like simulator / tycoon games then I’d recommend this game 😀 ### 5/5 — ???? *2022-09-10, version 1.7.4* WHEN WILL YOU DO AN UPDATE WITH MORE AREAS???? ### 5/5 — Ads *2022-09-03, version 1.7.3* Paid for ad blocker and still forced to watch ads …. ### 5/5 — Ammo glitching out *2022-09-01, version 1.7.0* Great game but when you get full ammo sometimes it glitches out of the 2 by 2 please fix ### 5/5 — Please take off ads… *2022-08-16, version 1.5.9* Ads really ruin the game .. ### 5/5 — this is a good game but you need more gun *2022-08-01, version 1.5.8* this is a good game but there is a lot of glitches and you more Gun but it still fun I also think you need sound I hope you get a update soon --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
