### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-21*

I just started, and others don’t know they can uninstall and reinstall to start over again, and no forced ads? Mate your economy is going a bit up, even though it’s a knockoff of shotgun king it’s great, stay this way and just be fixing bugs, good

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2026-04-19, version 1.20*

The game was fun to play but when lost the scene can’t react whether you miss out or watch ads to double

### 2/5 — Goofy ahh knockoff of shotgun king

*2026-04-15, version 1.20*

### 5/5 — مره ممتعه

### 4/5 — Love the game cause it just got released

*2025-04-14*

I have all the mergable items and would love for there to be more stuff. I have a bunch of keys but there is not really a point of opening chests because I have everything I need. Would love to see new items and weapon in the future that can be used though chests. Thank you creators!!!

P.S please add more items I am writing again would love to use my over 500 keys

### 4/5 — Maybe some changes you could consider

*2025-03-14*

I love this game in its entirety, but there is one complaint I have which is the fact that there is barely any armour or any thing. One suggestion I have is to add a skill tree or new different bosses that are very difficult. Other than that the game is perfect and amazing.

### 1/5 — Forced to watch commercials

*2025-03-13*

Not playing a game that forces me to watch commercials every 30 seconds. Let me buy the game or bust.
