### 4/5 — 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

*2026-08-19, version 1.9*

Full screen for iPhone Air please🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Zero forced ads

*2026-07-26, version 1.9*

Great time waster.  Its very fun if u commit. Takes s while to power up & just mow the monsters down but thats part of the fun. 
My fav part is theres no forced sds after every round like other games. 
Gets a bit repetitive but not for too long, can battle other players to stack some coins a lil faster for those upgrades, i played this like 6 years ago or so & bc of my job was able to get way up in stats agility & power. 
I like that you dnt have to go through annoying character dialogue, roll dice etc you just shoot through the rounds, upgrade & it gets harder.
Tip, if u go 5 to 10 rounds in between power & speed ups its more noticeable. 
I like it.

### 5/5 — Perfect game

*2026-07-10, version 1.9*

Super fun, will recommend

### 5/5 — Straight Peak.

*2026-07-04, version 1.9*

Shi is actually so peak/nostalgic I had to redownload it. Used to play it as a kid everyday nonstop with my brother. And I’m about to do it again.

### 1/5 — Ruined by greed

*2026-06-20, version 1.9*

The game is designed to get exponentially more difficult so that you absolutely have to spend heaps of money unless you want to grind for hours to get the upgrades you need. Multiplayer is also designed so that after the first 10-20 matches your opponents are way stronger, that is if they are even real people and not replays from years ago. I’d say since it’s designed so that you can’t win after a certain amount of battles, it is likely player vs replay of weaker play to start, then becomes player vs replay of stronger player.

### 5/5 — Updates in 2025/26 😧
