### 3/5 — Lots of those ridiculous random ads that stop gameplay with no warning

*2026-03-18*

Game is interesting with plenty of options to get resources for ads, but then it’ll randomly play adds with no warning set my phone down without locking it and it randomly played ad after ad while I was busy doing something either turning off for blaring over my audiobook so I had to rewind it

### 3/5 — Fun but cant enjoy

*2025-11-25*

Its a good game but youll spend more time watching ads than playing the game

### 2/5 — Stuck

*2025-10-15*

Was a good game and enjoyed for a bit, but now I’m stuck and can’t progress the game because of a weird bug. When I try to craft a saw blade it uses the material but no timer starts and just says no internet connection.

### 3/5 — Jeux intéressants

*2025-10-11*

Très bon jeux, cependant quelques bug à corriger : les deux derniers fusils (lance flamme et gels) ne gagne pas de damage malgré les améliorations.

### 2/5 — Bug fix.

*2025-08-24*

Good game. Bugged out to craft gears and keys. Just takes what is used to craft it and never crafts it. Makes part of progressing impossible.

### 1/5 — App läd nicht

*2025-01-13*

Leider mehrfach probiert. Immer nach dem ersten Spiel kann man am nächsten Tag nicht mehr spielen. Hängt sich nach dem Lade Bild auf ärgerlich, vier mal deinstalliert und von vorne angefangen. Es lohnt sich nicht Werbung weg zu kaufen.

### 3/5 — Плюсы и минусы

*2024-12-27*

Плюсы: хорошая убивалка времени.
Минусы: 
- Графику хотелось бы получше чем эти квадраты;
- Нет русского языка;
- Болезнь всех бесплатных игр, обилие рекламы. Шагу не сделать без рекламы ((

### 3/5 — Good but issues

*2024-12-19*

Really enjoyed playing, fun not to difficult. However a lot of adds then there no indication of what to do next. Missing quest location and can’t continue playing

### 1/5 — Startet nicht

*2024-12-16*

Spiel startet nicht

### 3/5 — Too many breaks

*2024-12-09*

Too many breaks …..keep this up and I will delete this 😩

### 1/5 — Jogo sem final

*2024-11-29*

Joguei mesmo com a imensa quantidade de anúncio, entretanto o mesmo após passar várias horas jogando, não apresentou um final, não tem mais oq fazer e tão pouco faz sentido, melhor não perderem tempo jogando pois não tem lógico em seu enredo e final. Espero que façam alguma atualização que o conclua de alguma forma.

### 1/5 — Opinião

*2024-11-23*

O Jogo tem potencial, porem tem vários anúncios quase não dá para jogar

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ad hater

*2026-05-25*

Ads in a banner at bottom screen.  Ads blocking clear walking spaces.  Ads forced.  Game would be ok but the way the ads are placed the game is constantly interrupted.

### 1/5 — Plagued with Ads

*2026-04-26*

Originally had it at 5 stars, then I started to get plagued with excessive adverts, Ads triggered at timed intervals, ads when you collect from huts etc, ads when you go to the menu to look at gear.

All this spells greed. If you love playing an advertising simulator, this is for you

### 1/5 — Ad heavy garbage

*2026-04-17*

This is a cheaply made, clearly ad farming game. I could design better in my sleep.

Huge disservice to gamers everywhere.

### 1/5 — Bug makes game unplayable

*2025-10-22*

It was fun, but now i’m at a point where I have to craft gears and it will take my resources but won’t actually craft any gears. it says “no internet connection”.

### 1/5 — Реклама

*2025-10-11, version 7.0*

Constant advertising

### 1/5 — Way too many ads.

*2025-09-24*

Enough said, there is 2 mins of playing for 20 mins of ads.

### 1/5 — Много рекламы

*2025-04-16*

Очень много рекламы каждую минуту ,это ужас ,как играть вообще ,1 звезда из 5 чисто из за этого ,не возможно спокойно играть

### 1/5 — Принудительная реклама

*2025-03-09*

Только хотел разработчика похвалить что нет принудительной рекламы, но на 9 волне начинается…
Банер повесили, плюшки за рекламу раскидали хватит!!! Зачем вы портите игру принудительной рекламой? Не жадничайте!!

### 1/5 — Jc

*2025-02-01*

The subway you get right to the end and the miners stop and start jumping about lagging and nog mining meaning you get stuck I. The tunnel. I’ve retried multiple times and nothing. What a waste of time that game was….

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-01-25*

To many ads

### 5/5 — Build and Survive: Pixel Games

*2026-01-27*

It’s a really great engaging game

### 5/5 — Play

*2024-12-15*

The best

### 5/5 — O jogo é bom e tem potencial

*2024-11-21*

O jogo é ótimo , só que vocês deveriam tirar a opções de ver vídeo para ganhar matérias ou recursos pq isso facilita a gameplay e o jogo perde a graça , ao invés de ver vídeo  para cubrir os seus custos , vocês deveriam criar skins de personagens ou armas e vender dentro do jogo e remover o anúncios pois isso dificulta a jogatina e faz com que os jogadores parem de jogar

### 5/5 — Hammer geiles Game

*2024-07-06*

Die ersten Sekunden sind Hammer perfekt was für ein warte Raum auf gehts Nummer ziehen gehen Arbeitsamt und erste Arzt besuche !! Unbedingt ausprobieren Hammer Game!

### 4/5 — Auto collect

*2026-03-29*

I hate when I have won and if I walk to close to the saw mill at takes all my wood that I need

### 4/5 — i’m stuck

*2025-10-15*

great game however i cant progress the craft gears quest because no matter what i do it says i dont have an internet connection and only says that where you would put the items to craft the gears. it finally registered for one of them to start crafting and when i get on next it says no internet connection again and i lost out on several hundred items i used to try and craft the gears quest

### 4/5 — Что дальше?

*2025-01-26*

Прошел метро, и думал что сейчас вот все случиться, но я оказался перед спуском в метро. А что дальше делать не пойму, уже все облазил по два раза и что делать не знаю.

### 4/5 — Great Game/Needs Content

*2025-01-17*

Love the game got through the metro and nothing else to do, no bosses, no new areas to explore. Sadness. Paid to remove ads, worth it! Still watched a bunch of ads to get through the metro, workers will only work if you constantly feed them and stay in the metro while they work. Must, have more! Thank you!

### 4/5 — But where is gloves?

*2025-01-15*

I kill the last spider and I found mask. But I still can't find gloves. Where can I find?

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-07-15*

Good game the only problem is that the miners in the subway stopped working when mining the rocks near the exit, plus some facilities won’t build in the subway 

Please fix this thanks
