### 3/5 — Yea good game

*2026-07-18, version 2.6.1*

Good game but unless you want to pay for no adds you literally have to close the app and open it again to clear the add. Sick of it just LET ME PLAY THE GAMEEEEE

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-06, version 2.6.1*

Too many ads

### 5/5 — Fun for road trips

*2026-05-28, version 2.6.1*

Hello I just want to say that this is a great game and fun for road trips and my high score is 102 so try beating it By: Aaran

### 3/5 — level 50 colour

*2026-03-16, version 2.6.1*

i have loved this game for over a decade now but the past few years since the update that ruined everything there’s been a horrible bug that makes the level 50 colour the same as the level 35 colour instead of the actual level 50 colour. PLEASE at least fix this bug PLEASE. i just want the beautiful yellow level 50. PLEASEEEEEE

### 2/5 — Used to be good before the ads

*2026-02-19, version 2.6.1*

This used to be my favorite game, but the ads and constant updates with unimportant and confusing features make the game so frustrating to play. The thing I hate the most is that the ads run at the bottom of the screen while you play, but sometimes they buffer and your game lags. Of course the bird dies when that happens, and then you’re hit with another ad. I always quit playing after this happens and remember why I stopped playing.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-13, version 2.5.5*

Littered with ads

### 3/5 — Ads cause lag and are obtrusive

*2026-01-12, version 2.5.5*

I used to play this game all the time on my iphone 5s. Redownloaded and the ads are truly awful. There is an ad when you open the game, while you play, and when you lose the game. The one when you lose usually has sound which is annoying if you’re listening to music. Will be deleting

### 2/5 — Used to be an awesome game

*2025-12-15, version 2.5.5*

This game was my favorite years ago and I redownload it on a whim to relive the good ol days. It’s a great game, the exact same as I remember. Except for one glaring issue: there are too many ads. Every single time I die it’s another stupid a*s add and it makes playing the game incredibly unenjoyable. Had this game for less than a day and it was already way too much. I will say though that this is a problem most games have these days, but this one really pushed me over the edge.

### 1/5 — Ads galore

*2025-11-18, version 2.5.5*

Would be good if there wasn’t an ad after every. Single. Game. Not worth it even though it’s free

### 4/5 — OMG G

*2025-11-02, version 2.5.5*

It’s like sooo fun if has many levels skins and the cave it’s the best game ever
