### 1/5 — Not worth the time

*2026-07-31, version 1.2*

The graphics are dreadful, it is very laggy and not because of my phone before you say anything. Feels like it is quite repetitive. Shame

### 1/5 — Don’t like it.

*2026-07-28, version 1.2*

Hate it do not recommend for mobile

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-17*

Game is very bad

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2026-07-06*

The game is stuck on the loading screen

### 4/5 — Bien mais à développer

*2026-06-09*

Le jeu est réellement bien mais la limite journalière ne nous permet pas de jouer longtemps et depuis que je l’ai téléchargé ;aucune mise a jour à été faite.De nouvelles fonctionnalités et possibilités et variétés devraient être installées.C’est tout sinon très bon jeu

### 5/5 — Love the game but also, Masonthewason look at this ok?

*2026-06-05, version 1.2*

I love this game so much I have played it for 2 months and I still love it. But I agree with masonthewason, can you add a way too move because that would make the game so much better. Also add drivable vehicles so I can have more fun. But masonthewason to answer your question you can’t walk around yet. Also can you please put less adds. Five stars tho

### 1/5 — I don’t believe this is made by the same devs

*2026-05-29, version 1.2*

This seems like a cheap ripoff, the gameplay is completely different, textures are even remotely the same, and I didn’t play the game long enough to see any adds though I won’t be shocked if there is some. I won’t recommend I would just play the real game or watch play throughs of the real game

### 3/5 — Bouger

*2026-05-17*

Le jeu est super bien malgré les petites pubs, mais ça va ce qui est décevant c’est que il est limite journalière par jour et il faut attendre minuit pour que ça se réinitialise. À part si j’ai mal compris et de plus on peut pas bouger c’est super chiant, faut appuyer sur le bouton parce que il y a le vrai jeu payant sur PC et celui-là est absolument incroyable alors que lui c’est le même sauf que tu ne peux pas bouger, il n’y a pas des gens qui viennent te tirer dessus et etc. faut le voir pour comprendre, mais j’aimerais une réponse et voilà.

### 3/5 — It’s okay but

*2026-05-03, version 1.2*

I wish you walk around and have guns like the real game but right you can’t walk around or get guns so it kinda get boring

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-04-28, version 1.2*

Needs a 2026 update and some more aspects to the game
