### 2/5 — Cheating

*2026-08-19*

The game cheats after you get to higher levels.   I’ve beaten it all the way through before they added the bats.  Now in the 75 and 76th levels it speeds up when you get close to winning.  Even more than that, it won’t count the shots sent high that go off screen and used to come down on the beasts.  It seemingly randomly gives a 2 or 1 instead of a 3 for a sure shot.  Other times it shows a miss in front of the beast when the angle was actually on target.  This is like what other developers did for Candy Crush.  It lets you think you’re getting close to winning then prevents it.  They now just want you to see more advertisements while you hopelessly try to win.  It can still be entertaining as a pastime for a while but who wants to play with a game that cheats.

### 1/5 — BORING

*2026-07-25, version 3.1.0*

Literally the most brain dead boring game I’ve ever played.

### 4/5 — Good but there should be a village😍😍🏘🏡

*2026-07-23, version 3.1.0*

The game is good and all but like this would be like a village and you can upgrade it and like upgrade your tools upgrade your character and like decide what you make but good game.

### 1/5 — Worst game I’ve ever played

*2026-07-23, version 3.1.0*

Absolutely horible game do not play this it will just make you angry because it’s so poorly made and impossible to play

### 1/5 — Buns

*2026-07-20, version 3.1.0*

This game starts off way too hard, you start with twenty spears and the enemy always blocks the attacks, it super annoying, and by day seven it’s impossible. Would not recommend if you don’t want to be mad.

### 1/5 — When will be the next phase coming up after bats

*2026-07-14*

Need upgrade

### 3/5 — To the developer who thought adding weak spots was a good idea,

*2026-07-08, version 3.1.0*

I genuinely hope you are found dead with your legs shot out in a back ally in new york, and beaten to death by baseball bats as a lifeless piece of meat, for deciding putting weak spots inside the animals butt and ones that you can only hit in a move that happens once every 10 tries, and lasts for only 7 frames, and repeatedly put weak spots in similar spots tenfold, and then proceed to make them larger than grahams number, multiplied by tree(3), and then to the power of googolplex, so that everything that isnt their face is impossible to hit with every single combo of shoes, weapons, and outfits in the entire game, except for one extremely specific combo of shoes and weapon that can only be obtained via chests at a 0.001% droprate. If hell exists, then beating this game 1,000,000 times against an animal with weakspots shoved inside their ahh in a row is that hell. The happiest timeline in the observable omniverse is the one where you never added weakspots into this game, which is harder than every elden ring, darksouls, impossible geometry dash level, and undertale fangame combined multiplied by the amount of times people have died in said games to the power of [undefined]

### 4/5 — W game

*2026-07-08, version 3.1.0*

Super fun for someone who loves Cenozoic life and all that, perfect format and easy to follow got all my friends to play too. But the it does not get fun during the bat story when the AI gets impossible to beat and it takes all the fun from the game making me cry out of anger

### 3/5 — Очень душная игра

*2026-06-30, version 3.1.0*

Попробовали бы разработчики сами поиграть в свою игру, и тогда они бы поняли что дальше 96 уровня просто не выйти, не смотря на огромное количество здоровья у мамонта он еще и увеличивается в размерах из за чего в голову попасть почти что невозможно из за огромных габаритов его бивней. Если до 80 уровня это все терпелось и впитывалось, то теперь играть стало просто невыносимо, игра превратилась из интересной и захватывающей в игру про выжидание таймингов. Конечно мой отзыв вряд ли учтут разработчики и явно не станут ничего менять, но тем не менее

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2026-06-18, version 3.1.0*

Игра классная но есть маленький минус сложно попасть на спину мамонту но так всё хорошо
