### 2/5 — Está abandonado

*2025-11-24, version 2.8*

Hace años que no hay nuevos niveles ni actualizaciones

### 2/5 — I would call it pay to win

*2025-04-22, version 2.8*

Upgrades are hard to achieve as earning of required coins is low. I won’t pay for coins, so I am having a hard time progressing. I’d classify this a pay to win. Not a fan.

### 3/5 — Online doesn’t work anymore…

*2025-03-10, version 2.8*

Oh well, still kinda fun

### 4/5 — 😀

*2023-04-12, version 2.8*

Entretenido

### 4/5 — quick descent to grinding

*2023-01-16*

Fun enough for this sort of genre, but quickly descends into a grind to get coins so you can upgrade. I tend to be good at these games but couldn’t get past level 22 and 23 without some serious grinding. At that point, the AI opponent is just flying through attacks, while the human interface really shows its failings - frequently, selected attacks don’t register, hidnering the player's ability to defend and counter-attack.

### 5/5 — Замена microcosmum!

*2022-11-29, version 2.8*

Игра топ настоящий экшен+стратегия=топ топов! И этот то топов это ваша игра!

### 5/5 — Oyun güzel ve taktik veriyorum

*2022-10-11, version 2.8*

Oyun güzel ve taktik ilk oyuncunun başladığı yeri alın

### 5/5 — This game really the best!

*2022-09-25, version 2.8*

Developers thank you for this game!!!

### 1/5 — Game has hackers

*2022-08-15, version 2.8*

There are players who have hacked the game. They are able to block you from doing anything in a multiplayer game.

### 1/5 — Selten dämlich

*2022-06-18, version 2.8*

Man schießt aus Kugeln Kugeln auf andere Kugeln. Die Level ähneln einander und wenn man nicht ununterbrochen dieselben eintönigen Level spielen will, muss man auch noch Geld zahlen. Denn weil den Machern sonst nichts anderes eingefallen ist, wird man einfach mit jedem Level, den man erreicht, ein bisschen schlechter. Dann muss man upgraden. Ein bisschen von der dafür nötigen Knete kriegt man im Spiel, aber man wird stärker geschwächt, als die Upgrades helfen.
Also muss man die langweiligen Level auch noch mehrmals spielen. Oder man kauft Spielgeld für die Upgrades mit echtem geld.
Wie armselig muss man sein, um stolz darauf zu sein, sich den Weg frei gekauft zu haben?
Keine Leistung, keine Logik, kein eigener Verdienst macht den Fortschritt möglich. Keine Strategie und keine Taktik.
Nur Geld für die schamlosen und phantasielosen Entwickler.
Und oben drauf gibt es auch noch massig Werbung.
