### 4/5 — Friendly fiends

*2026-08-25, version 19.3.0*

It used to be easier to collect friends and share lives and ask for lives, but the updated version from a few years ago makes it where you have to post it somewhere else. See if they answer who knows if they will before it was pretty quick. You could see how long they’ve been playing if they play regularly where they’re from it was a lot of fun. I missed that part.

### 3/5 — robbed

*2026-08-25, version 19.3.0*

i was tobbed with one of my free spins thanks

### 5/5 — Surprisingly super fun

*2026-08-24, version 19.3.0*

I honestly love this game so much. It is not too easy that I get bored, but it also isn’t frustrating. My favorite part of it is the lack of ads. There are very few games these days that don’t have ads, which makes this game really stand out and retain playability. I’ve had this game for two years (I’m on level 1700), and even if I don’t play it for a while, I am never inclined to delete the app because I know how fun and unique it is in the grand scheme of mobile games. Genuinely 5/5!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-24, version 19.3.0*

I've never spent money, never struggled on levels for longer than 2 days, and overall gameplay is great. I do miss the old characters' designs, but I can't complain!

### 3/5 — Need to up the rewards

*2026-08-24, version 19.3.0*

It’s a fun game but the rewards are a bit lame…when Temper gets excited over giving you two or three keys…c’mon, lol

### 2/5 — Rigged

*2026-08-21, version 19.3.0*

I’m almost ashamed to say this but I have been playing pretty regularly for the past few months. I get challenging play, but your game is ridiculous. First time level completion rate has to be somewhere around 3 percent. Event completion is not happening unless you spend money. Over the past few months, I’ve only needed a few cards to complete an event. Had a few days to try and yet your rigged game wouldn’t even let there be an attempt. Need that one block to complete a level after 10 tries? Well here you go. Just conveniently out of reach. Try another 10 times unless you want to spend some money. Don’t play this game unless you are willing to spend money. Otherwise, it’s way too difficult and frustrating. Seriously.

### 5/5 — Tuff game fr

*2026-08-21, version 19.3.0*

Addicting twin fire ahh game

### 1/5 — Money over customers

*2026-08-19, version 19.1.0*

With years progressively game become harder and harder to play not with levels but you just CANT PLAY WITJOUT PAYING anymore in peace. Game become blocking progressively more and more possibilities to play for free than it is frustrating to even think about it:/what a shame /: and the obviously untrue response is just another reason to be upset:/

### 1/5 — Game is fixed

*2026-08-17, version 19.1.0*

This game makes it so you have no choice but to spend. I refuse to spend, but I notice when I get free boosts they’re timed, and the game proceeds to make adds and several in game pop ups so that your timer wasted away before you ever get to use it. Players should be able to choose whenever they want those pop ups blocking their gameplay. Also, I was collecting cards for the event.. got 107/108 and the game levels suddenly stopped giving card packs and prompting me to pay for boosts to unlock the last pack. Needless I say I didn’t get it and received nothing from the game as a consolation. I’ll keep playing because it’s a fun, mindless game.. but if you don’t spend money you won’t win in-game bonuses or pop up events.

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-08-16, version 19.1.0*

I used to play the game when I was 6-8 years old and when I tried to play the game my account got restricted and please bring back best fiend stars and to be honest you’re just not letting kids play a KIDS GAME and barely any adults play this game besides YouTubers who are promoting the game and so that’s the end of my rant
