Every time I finish a level, I have to exit and close out the whole app and restart it bc I can’t get rid of the episode race popup. ### 2/5 — Game is so good and interesting. But don’t cheat a lot *2026-08-26, version 1.334.2.1* Game is so good and interesting. But don’t cheat a lot ### 1/5 — Ads get stuck in loop *2026-08-26, version 1.334.2.1* Used to be my go too for relaxation time, but now ads get stuck in loop sometimes so you lose the moves you were watching the ad to get and have to close the whole program to get out of the ad. Happens most of the time now, especially the bird game ads. Frustrating so not great for relaxation time anymore. ### 2/5 — Not fun anymore *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* I’ve been playing this game for two years, and the early experience was great. The levels were fun, the 15‑level cycles were motivating, and weekly tournaments and events felt rewarding. I enjoyed progressing without spending real money — using bonuses, boosters, and watching ads was enough. However, once I reached around level 15,000, the difficulty changed dramatically. Levels became nearly impossible to pass without extra moves, boosters stopped helping, and winning any event or competition became unrealistic. Progress now depends almost entirely on getting 20+ extra moves from the Wheel of Fortune. At higher levels, the game no longer feels enjoyable or fair. It’s frustrating, repetitive, and seems designed to push players toward spending real money. After reaching the 20,000+ range, it feels like there’s nothing meaningful left to offer. Unfortunately, I’m quitting. ### 1/5 — Got stuck so removed *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* Got stuck at a level and couldn’t get out = uninstalled ### 2/5 — Fun but… *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* Always trying to make you buy credits to pass levels once you’re above 100. Think it used to be random but seems so is used so you lose and have to buy credits. ### 2/5 — Glitching *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* The game is fun but the latest update is ridiculous. The ads promise rewards but (conveniently?) the app glitches after I watch the ad, not providing the reward or redeeming the lives promised for watching the ad. This happens about 1/3-1/4 of ads watched. ### 5/5 — Money Grab Saga *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* Every single time I try to play my nightmare level you seriously need to ask me to spend $10? ### 2/5 — Great game but turning into a bit of a money grab *2026-08-25, version 1.334.2.1* You used to be able to get through levels a little more easily, but now every level is "nightmare" hard and you need gold to get extra lives. Of course, you have to pay for the gold, so this free game becomes super difficult unless you're willing to spend money. It used to be where you could watch ads to get extra lives, but they took that feature away to make you spend money is the only option. The ads were already annoying, but at least it let you get past the impossible levels. Really disappointed, hope they change that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cheat *2026-08-27, version 1.335.1.2* The color bombs explode without being triggered, if you hold on too long to them they will manipulate the game so that you have no choice but to use your reward(s). I started playing this game over 10yrs ago and it was really fun…now! It’s just boring and takes way too long to win a level. I wouldn’t spend a dime on a game that’s free to play🙄😒 you can clearly notice how the game is rigged up. So, I’ve ways to manipulate the time on this game and receive unlimited gold bars. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2026-08-27, version 1.335.1.2* This app is fun n all but the characters are so cringe And cheesy. ### 1/5 — Level 19145 BORING AND STUPID *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* Impossible rigged levels to FORCE YOU TO PURCHASE TO PLAY. SAD AND PATHETIC GAME NOW. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Im done *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* Im done gonna erase you. Have been stuck on level 10897 for weeks ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* This game is terrible. Ads won’t close out. This means you won’t get rewards, you won’t finish timed levels, you’ll ruin your phone battery from being stuck in an ad loop. You spent money on power ups sorry you just lost it because you had to close out game to get out of the ad. ### 1/5 — Filth! *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* Who’s monitoring your ads? How could you put such a filthy ad on a game kids play!?! Some dark coloring ap. It has obscene pictures and filthy language. Take this off or I delete your ap and report you ap to the authorities. Terrible ### 1/5 — Frauds *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* Algorithms decide when you can win in this game. You’ll have to pay to play as you get up in levels. You’ve been forewarned. ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* This game has been charging me money thru my Apple Pay I never noticed it because it is small amounts I also started using Apple Pay 4 years ago I have been being charged since 2019 so be careful and watch your money I never buy any coins or make any purchases for this game but I have been charged ### 1/5 — Stuck *2026-08-26, version 1.335.1.2* I’m on level 8363 and it sticks on the bottom line every time.
