### 3/5 — Softlock

*2025-04-27, version 1.5.7*

This game is great but for some reason, the game doesnt progress to the game over screen when i die and it locks me out. I basically cant play. Patch?

### 3/5 — In app purchase bug

*2025-03-16*

I recently downloaded the game and I’m not sure why but every time I try to click the remove ads button all it does is load and does nothing and it won’t give me the purchase option and I can’t figure out why I have tried everything i’m on the latest iOS version the latest hardware deleted and reinstalled it checked my Wi-Fi connection and nothing has worked. Not sure if it’s a bug or something to be honest, that’s really the only thing holding this game back for me. The game has great artwork amazing concept very unique and all. if they could just fix that one thing I would give this game a 4.5 stars review at the minimum

### 3/5 — This game is dying.

*2024-10-17, version 1.5.7*

Some grindables have no voices, lots of glitches, and discontinued, To me, This is an end

### 4/5 — It’s an OK game

*2024-07-29, version 1.5.7*

Not too bad but it’s kinda glitchy which is annoying. Bye!

### 3/5 — Good game just too many ads

*2024-01-30*

Every time I die I get asked if I would like to watch an ad to continue. I always immediately press no just to get shown an ad anyway. The game just asks you that for the illusion of choice. Sometimes when you die the game just freezes too.

### 4/5 — Really good but

*2023-01-30, version 1.5.7*

I played this game a lot when I was little but for some reason when I die I can’t do anything

### 2/5 — Fix it!

*2022-12-21, version 1.5.7*

It’s been a while since this game came out. So this game has bugs like dying will break the game. so please fix it!

### 4/5 — I like it but it’s glitchy!

*2022-07-15*

Every time I start the match and then die, it doesn’t show my score. It just done nothing. Can you please fix this problem?

### 4/5 — It’s alleyways a glitch.🤦‍♂️

*2022-05-19, version 1.5.7*

It’s a really good game… but it has a glitch that it doesn’t let you play after one try. But overall, it’s a good game and also, make a soundtrack. I love the songs.😁

### 3/5 — 6/10

*2022-02-08, version 1.5.7*

Great simple game but way too many ads

### 3/5 — Really great game, but there is some problems.

*2021-06-09*

This is a really wonderful game and I love playing it from time to time, but I have noticed one little problem. Whenever I’m in a run it sometimes ends because of a random add popping up or it just lagging out. I would most certainly enjoy this game more if you would remove the adds so that they don’t pop up in the middle of a run and completely ruin it. Besides this it would be a five star rating.               Thank you👍

### 4/5 — y

*2021-05-23, version 1.5.7*

Why u no do the grindable reward thing anymore like you get 3 bronze and you get a new skin? :(

### 3/5 — Bug

*2021-04-07, version 1.5.7*

Some times when I die I don’t get the screen with the medals and I can’t do any thing so I have to close the app and open it back up again and if I had gotten a medal it disappears so that is really annoying but other than that it is a great game

### 2/5 — Don't grind

*2021-01-07, version 1.5.7*

This is a great game but everytime I die the game just stops and it doesn't allow me to restart and I don't understand why I reset it like 6 times and the game just stops every time I die

### 3/5 — Ad wall

*2020-12-26, version 1.5.7*

I love this game, it is very well made, but whenever i’m playing, and get a really high-score, ad wall. It makes it impossible to play because it just shows an ad in the middle of the game and you can’t fix it or anything. Other than that, it is an ok game.

### 4/5 — Very fun but problem

*2020-12-23, version 1.5.7*

This is a very fun game even when I lose I don’t get mad I just try again.There is just one slight problem whenever I lose and an ad pops out I can only skip at the end then and whenever it’s done it stays in one screen and if I try to restart it deletes my points and one time I was up to 200 and lost then the problem happened and it deleted my points I’m just hoping you can fix it.

### 2/5 — Great Game, ad breaks it though

*2020-12-10*

I really enjoy playing this when I have some random time to spare. Pretty easy to play with an easy learning curve. However, when I’m offline, the game tries to load ads and such and it just breaks the game. Ads really ruined it for me otherwise I’d keep playing. Online, there are just too many ads.

### 3/5 — WHY!

*2020-10-04, version 1.5.7*

I used to love this game until it did not work

### 4/5 — Very fun game just one problem

*2020-09-25*

This game is super fun and I’ve been playing it for a little bit but not very long but this one problem is very irritating it’s when I’m in the middle of a game and all of a sudden he sent me to this link which ends up killing me and also it doesn’t allow me out of the link so it makes me stuck in the link and unable to get back so I press home 2 times and slide of the then rejoin but I’ve done this so many time that it’s Getting frustrating but over all it’s a very fun game (but sometimes instead of a random website it sometimes puts up ads still a very good game)

### 2/5 — Annoying

*2020-07-28, version 1.5.7*

I can’t even get to the playing part of this game because every time I clicked on the game it just turned off and booted me back to the home screen

### 4/5 — Such a great game but kind of brokren

*2020-05-14*

This game is so fun but Sometimes when i start a game it just automatically makes me click on the ad on the bottom of the screen i dont even put my finger near it. And whenever im offline and i get my best score when i lose theres like a 75% chance that I the game will stop working and just stops i cant do anything im guessing its becuse an ad wont play and I my score dosent save it even happens when im connected to wifi and u just have to reset but other than that its great and really fun. 
(I also love the fact that the lego bricks are called Feet Hurters and there are MINCRAFT characters.)

### 1/5 — Don’t grind

*2020-10-25, version 1.5.7*

It does not work. When I open the game, it won’t even work!

### 1/5 — A mess

*2020-07-11, version 1.5.7*

Crashes when I die

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-11-08, version 1.5.6*

Constantly crashes, absolutely worthless game, do t bother with it.

### 1/5 — Not worth playing...

*2019-08-12, version 1.5.5*

Paid to remove ads long ago. Now forced to watch long ads. “Restore purchases” doesn’t seem to do anything...

Too little too late on the iCloud integration; it would have been nice before the game breaking freemium update caused many of the original players to delete the game...

The launch version of this game was amazing.

### 1/5 — No tutorial

*2018-11-08, version 1.5.3*

Impossible to play. I couldn’t find out how to get points or do anything whatsoever

### 1/5 — I like the game but my score never updates

*2018-04-05, version 1.0.36*

I have got scores over 500 but the game never updates my high score on Game Center. I am stuck with my high score showing only 77 when in reality I have gotten much higher.

### 1/5 — Crash fix plz

*2017-10-22, version 1.0.36*

It keeps crashing as soon as I get on

### 1/5 — Boring zzzzzz

*2017-02-09, version 1.0.35*

Nothing to do so bad uninstalled straight away

### 1/5 — TO HARD

*2017-01-23, version 1.0.35*

There are no instructions and it doesn't even make sense. There are also way too many ads!

### 1/5 — I kinda wanted to grind

*2017-01-03, version 1.0.33*

This game didn't let me grind 😩 ugh I hate it

### 5/5 — Secret Grindable

*2025-04-26, version 1.5.7*

This game is really fun and entertaining, but there’s one grindable I have trouble getting. It’s Lik Dis If You Cry Evertim. How do you get it? Pls respond as quick as possible.

### 5/5 — GOATED

*2024-09-17, version 1.5.7*

This is the best mobile game

### 5/5 — buggy, but nostalgic

*2024-07-30*

i never write reviews but i’ve played this game for years. as i grew up i distanced from it but it’s always stayed in my game folder for me to come back to when i feel like playing a simple but fun game. this game is so nostalgic to me and it’s sad it’s gotten so buggy due to lack of updates/bug fixes while newer phones begin to not support certain apps anymore. i understand there may never be another update as it’s been years since the last, but i just want to leave this review in case one day this game is no longer available. the cute style but gruesome premise, funny names, catchy tune, and easy to play but still challenging gameplay made this game a staple in my childhood. thank you for making such a fun game, i hope one day it’ll be updated again :)

### 5/5 — Best game foreverJ

*2024-07-26, version 1.5.7*

Ks e a me non me lo fa più vedere ma mi ha fatto venire il nervoso perché mi ha scritto e poi non mi risponde mai e mi dice sempre di no non mi fa niente non lo fa perché mi fa stare sempre con te ma io ti ho sempre

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-03-26, version 1.5.7*

Underrated game I wish it was not so dead tbh

### 5/5 — Good game but

*2019-11-21, version 1.5.6*

Great game but recently I have the problem of when I try to play a level, it randomly pops up and says ERROR video failed to load causing me to lose control and die. Even though I don’t click on any videos it happens every game 

Used to be great but if you are looking for a game you can play for more that 3 seconds without ERROR video failed to load, this ones not for you

### 5/5 — Don’t Grind Me Too!

*2019-03-29, version 1.5.3*

Amazing, free fast-paced game. Five stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2019-02-19, version 1.5.3*

I absolutely love this game. The pizza 🍕icon is adorable. It’s fun and easy. Only one critique; I’d like to be able to choose my Grindable next time I try to get one. It just seems better that way. Great job LaserDog!

### 5/5 — Highly Addictive but needs data storage to iCloud

*2019-02-17, version 1.5.3*

A game I CANNOT stop playing!!! Undoubtably one of the finest pieces of work to ever grace the App Store. It transforms me into a bag of nerves and a video game has never made me swear so much. 😀 
The only problem is you loose your grindables should you delete and re-install the app or switch devices, unlike Pktball. 

Please sort this Laser Dog!!!

### 5/5 — Don't Grind is ALIVE!

*2018-07-20*

Haven't played this game since the last update a year ago maybe. I kept in contact with devs back then. They are great listeners and care about the fans thoughts. Implementing ideas such as mine.
I can't wait to play this new update with all the new grindables!
