Some levels are a bit of a grind to get through, but everything feels achievable without spending money. After a month of play, the app started glitching (sound errors, frozen ads, etc), and when I tried to restart it, all of my progress, currency, and upgrades had been completely wiped. I cannot recommend this game. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-07-20, version 1.19.3* Make the closing ads button more bigger bruh, I cannot close the ads at all 💢💢 ### 3/5 — just as i start to have fun the level ends *2026-07-14, version 1.19.3* this would be so much better if it had an endless mode instead of stages ### 2/5 — Battery usage and ads *2026-05-13, version 1.17.2* What a good game idea and good execution too but what a shame that this game completely deletes my battery when it’s running and the ads are so gross. Found a way to deal with the ad problem but the battery usage it the worst I’ve ever seen in my life on maybe anything ### 2/5 — Ads and one other thing *2026-05-13, version 1.17.2* Yeah adds are just way to much and then in between you make it so items lock behind ads or have to wait to next round first off I paid tokens to reroll items they shouldn’t then be locked till next round unless that reroll was free or discounted sorry but that is too much. ### 2/5 — Ads everywhere *2026-05-12, version 1.17.2* The game is fun but the ads are very annoying, even during the game it will prompt you for “ad breaks”. ### 1/5 — Good concept, ruined by ads *2026-05-09, version 1.17.2* 30 minutes in all the ads activate and they become unavoidably after every wave ### 3/5 — Es gibt Fehler *2026-05-08* Bei Laser Boy wenn ma ihn freischaltet wird man von Tutorial gezwungen ihn auszurüsten, aber er ist schon ausgerüstet und man kommt aus Tutorial nicht mehr raus ### 2/5 — Obnoxious amount of ads *2026-05-01, version 1.17.0* It’ll cost $360 (no ad purchase) to actually enjoy the game, otherwise you will spend more time watching adverts than playing. Gameplay is ok, but not worth the ad farming. ### 3/5 — Diicaas *2026-04-25* O jogo é bom mas tem uma falhas ao clicar nas opções dos artefatos. ### 1/5 — Werbung *2026-04-22* Unspielbar mit der ganzen Werbung. Hab teilweise mehr und länger Werbung als Spielzeit in einem Durchgang. Finger weg! ### 1/5 — Ads Galore *2026-04-17, version 1.16.1* This game was super fun until the ads starting playing multiple times during every game. I understand that’s the price one pays for a free game, but I would get multiple ads in a 5 minutes session. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2026-04-17, version 1.16.1* I’ll watch ads for benefits. But if you force me to watch ads just to play then it’s an automatic deletion of the app. Sorry not sorry. ### 4/5 — Very satisfying game besides one thing! *2026-04-17, version 1.16.1* I’ve been sat here playing the game for the first time for a few hours now and I’m having a nice time playing. Easy to understand with simple mechanics, satisfying and addicting gameplay with a good and reasonable progression and upgrade system. However. Locking abilities behind ads such as the boomerang while playing a game completely ruins the smooth and flowing experience the game provides. I understand the need for forded ads and locking rewards behind them too but I believe a simple gameplay mechanic should be used as such. I brought a re-roll because I didn’t like the current items, then for one of those new items to be locked ruins the experience for me regardless if it is an upgraded version. ### 1/5 — ADS ADS ADS *2026-04-17, version 1.16.1* YOU HAVE TO PAY MONTHLY TO REMOVE ADS ! INSANE ! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-04-13, version 1.16.1* There are way too many ads. Ads between stages in a level, ads for upgrades, ads for everything. The ads between stages as an ‘Ad Break’ are ridiculous. I get it for end of a level, but even end of level is too many. ### 1/5 — Worst Paywall Grab Imaginable *2026-04-11, version 1.16.1* Right after you complete the first stage, every 2 seconds you’re forced into an ad. In the middle of a battle, ad. Looking at the Home Screen too long, ad. For a game that I imagine took 5 minutes to think and 10 to develop- the constant ads are not worth it. ### 1/5 — Ads in the middle of a game *2026-04-10, version 1.16.1* I get the game has to make money for it to be free but do we really need an ad after every game and in between waves. Come on give me a break. I will never play a game that has this many ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-11, version 1.19.3* So many ads, required to play. Don’t bother downloading. Not fun, just a cash grab. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-06, version 1.19.3* Too many I don’t mind, I’d say I u feet and where they come from everyone makes there revenue somewhere, but when it’s every game in the middle of the game an Unskippable 2 minutes of ads is diabolical. I get crips 30 seconds ads. But 2 minutes of unskippable ads is unacceptable. The game is fun and creative but making ad less gameplay a MONTHLY subscription is crazy work aswell. I think they should have just worked better with either 4 skippable ads or a 30 second ad that can’t be skipped . ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-08-04, version 1.19.3* Fun game if not for the fact that you are forced to watch adds to progress past the first couple levels. On top of that, the ads frequently will freeze or not give the promised rewards, I do not recommend playing this game unless they fix these problems ### 1/5 — Gambling *2026-07-04, version 1.19.3* It’s just gambling :c ### 1/5 — Gambling *2026-06-19, version 1.19.0* It’s just gambling :c ### 1/5 — Egregious Ads *2026-06-14, version 1.18.9* Fun game and concept, but it’s not enough that there’s micro transactions, not enough that there’s forced ads here and there, not enough that items DURING your play will cost you gems or make you watch an ad, but mid freaking game they force an ad on you….. never seen so much greed from a game before ### 1/5 — Squandered potential *2026-06-05, version 1.18.7* I get you need to make money, that’s part of making a free to play game but ads for bonuses in round or free shop items needs to be the extent. An add after every game and pausing you mid game to run a forced ad with no benefit to the player other than being allowed to keep playing is how you drive a game into the ground. First ever review and I have been using apple products for 2 decades. Deleted game. ### 1/5 — 광고대박ㅋㅋㅋ *2026-05-19* 게임 도중에 광고를 넣는 게임은 처음이예요. 대단합니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ### 1/5 — Game stopped loading *2026-05-12* Game stopped working randomly. Its stuck on laoding screen. ### 1/5 — Ads make it unplayable *2026-05-11, version 1.17.2* Decent game, relatively fun to play, except for the fact that they shove 15 ads in ur face per round so they can pinch every last penny out of you. Truly never seen such a greedy company I’ve probably spend more time on this game watching ads than I have actually playing it. Huge disappointment because it’s a fun game without the ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Decent game. OBNOXIOUS ADs *2026-04-23, version 1.16.1* The game is decent but the number of ads is crazy. Took me an hour to get through one level because every second action triggered an ad.. obvious ad farm with zero consideration for user experience. Uninstalled. ### 5/5 — 장난하냐 *2026-03-03* 게임은 할만한데, 광고가 1분,2분에 하나씩 강제적으로 나오면 게임을 하라는거냐 말라는거냐?이럴거면 무료게임말고 유료게임으로 출시해라... ### 5/5 — Perfect type *2026-02-10, version 1.15.3* The perfect type of game, Fun + Strategy = addictive. You also learn problem solving skills. ### 5/5 — 笑不活啦，家人们 *2026-01-27, version 1.14.5* 好玩是好玩，笑嘻嘻 ### 5/5 — Great game but stuck at Ch10. Stage 6/5 after update *2026-01-24, version 1.14.5* Please help, no mobs spawning and level stuck. Thanks. (Used to be at ch11 stage 6/6 or somewhere before changes) ### 5/5 — ปรับเสียหายหมด *2026-01-20, version 1.14.1* คนเล่นมาตั้งนาน อัพเลเวลไปตั้งไกล ใช้ทองไปตั้งเยอะ จากเลเวล 50+ เหลือแค่เลเวล 7 พอ ลบ เลิก ### 5/5 — Huge potential squandered *2026-01-20* This game is fundamentally really fun. However, the entire game is balanced around requiring you to watch ad after ad each round. While you can get away without any ads in the early game, it quickly becomes required for progress. There is no way to pay to skip the ads. As a result, I will be deleting this game. Such a shame as it's truly well made and addictive. Games should never REQUIRE ad watching. I understand for free users but there always needs to be a way to just pay my own way. This is a really terrible business model. ### 5/5 — Update *2026-01-13* I’ve got some decent time into this game and I’m loving every bit of it. But I REALLY wish I could pay to skip adds and get the bonuses instead of watching the add for a bonus. UPDATE: they have fixed the loading issue ### 5/5 — Chapter 9 ยากไปไม่มีสาเหตุ ลงอะไรก็แพ้ แบบงงๆ ตั้งแต่ต้น *2025-12-27, version 1.12.4* สนุกดี ### 5/5 — 很好玩的遊戲 但 *2025-12-21, version 1.12.4* 我更新後 打不開了 是什麼原因 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
