Sick of it just LET ME PLAY THE GAMEEEEE ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-06, version 2.6.1* Too many ads ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — So many adverts *2025-04-11, version 2.5.5* The game itself is good but there are way too many ads ### 3/5 — Challenge 56 bug *2025-03-07, version 2.5.5* Challenge 56 is bugged. I have collected way more than 7 crystals but it freezes on 3. So I can’t complete the challenge. Other than that I really like this game! ### 4/5 — Update Please?! *2024-11-19, version 2.4.4* Love the game, but my high score on the Game Center won’t update 😭 ### 4/5 — Literally just using this to report bugs - Duel system problem *2024-11-11, version 2.4.4* Solid game! Just couldn’t find anywhere else to report this bug: The duels don’t seem to get any more difficult after the first bird, which I don’t recall being the case around 2016 when I last played this. Even the last bird throws itself on the spikes after ~4-10 rounds. Aside from that, the second to last bird (duel 59, heart eyes bird) doesn’t provide the expected candy reward when you win. Instead, the game seems to indicate a tie, giving five candies, which shouldn’t be possible given how the duel system works. After defeating the final bird, the game seems to “forget” that you defeated the last two, and the cycle repeats on bird 59. The last bird gives the full 300 candy reward though, so it’s a pretty nice way to farm candy (don’t get rid of this lol just make the last bird harder so it feels like you “earn” the reward each time). Lastly, after finishing duel number 60, the option to continue to the next duel still exists, but it doesn’t do anything. Makes sense that it doesn’t do anything, but I'm not sure why the button would be there. Anyways— @Ketchapp, let me know if there’s an email I can report this to. I’ll give phone and iOS details too. ### 3/5 — Не работает *2024-11-10* На 16 про максе не корректное разрешение, не видно шипов, исправьте пожалуйста ### 1/5 — Миллион рекламы *2024-11-06* Реклама реклама, проиграл - реклама, зашёл в игру - реклама, зашёл в режим - реклама. ### 2/5 — Why is it like dis *2024-10-12, version 2.4.4* Bruh I couldn’t see the spikes it’s pretty fun on iPad tho ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-02-13, version 2.5.5* Littered with ads ### 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 ### 1/5 — Rage bait *2025-09-29, version 2.5.5* Gives me ptsd and makes me crash out ts pmo ### 1/5 — Ужас - реклама каждую секунду *2025-08-18* Я понимаю, что можно выключить интернет, но мне лень. ### 1/5 — XD *2025-08-10, version 2.5.5* Stupid n1ger company putting ad every 10 sec KY5 please, you company of Indian scums ### 1/5 — Change duals back *2025-04-27, version 2.5.5* I redownloaded this game after not having it for a few years. Not sure why they changed getting candies in the dual mode. I completed all the duals and was going to go back to get candies to update my cave faster and now you get none since you’ve already completed it. I understand it makes the game finish faster but getting 2,000 candies multiple times to buy stuff is not fun. please go back where you get candies every time you complete a dual. ### 1/5 — Great Game, Poor Support *2025-01-21, version 2.4.5* I’ve come to love Don’t Touch the Spikes. The gameplay is fun and addicting, and it’s been one of my go-to games. However, I’m disappointed to have to give it a low rating because of ongoing issues and a lack of support. It started with my duels being glitched—I couldn’t finish them no matter what I tried. I reached out to support via email but never received a response. Then, I experienced issues in the cave mode where my character would die for no apparent reason. I even sent a video of the problem to support, but again, no reply. In an effort to resolve the problems myself, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Unfortunately, this caused me to lose all of my progress in the game, which was incredibly frustrating. I truly enjoy this game, but the lack of support and resolution for these issues has made it impossible to fully enjoy. I hope the developers address these problems and improve their customer support, as the game has so much potential. ### 1/5 — Trop de pub *2025-01-11* Une pub toute les partie ou presque ! C’est insupportable. On est obligé de mettre le tel en mode avion pour jouer trkl. ### 1/5 — Всплывающая реклама *2025-01-10* Ужасно неприятно пользоваться и играть когда постоянно маячит реклама внизу и всплывает после каждого раунда. Я играла в нее раньше и такого не было. Пихать везде рекламу = терять пользователей. ### 1/5 — Plz *2024-12-12* Too much ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — MAJ score *2025-09-23* Dans le jeu on a la possibilité de voir son classement avec les autres, mais quand je bats mon record, il ne d’actualise pas sur mon profil Apple. Quelqu’un aurait une explication ? ### 5/5 — Не могу попасть в рейтинг *2025-04-10* Почему-то рекорды не добавляются в таблицу результатов Game Center и рейтинг ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2025-02-25, version 2.5.5* GUYS THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER GAME I GOT AND ITS SO LUSH I LOVE IT BUT ITS UNDERRATED I RECOMMEND PPL TO TRY THIS ### 5/5 — This game is is the best game I’ve ever played in my whole existence *2025-02-01, version 2.5.5* I cannot live without this game I actually love it so much ### 5/5 — :) *2024-12-12* играла много лет назад, скачала заново, всё нравится. набила рекорд 77, вообщем я рада. спасибо большое разработчикам за игру❤️ ### 5/5 — i love this game *2024-10-09, version 2.4.4* i literally have had this game installed on every phone ive bought for as long as i can remember amazing game ### 5/5 — Amazing but adverts *2024-08-01, version 2.3.7* This game is really good it’s addicting fun awarding and it’s free the game modes are really good and the challenges are challenging BUT🍑 when the adverts come to you mid game it’s mildly infuriating and that candies are used almost everywhere! But all in all it’s a really good game ### 5/5 — Jogo chave *2024-07-25* Melhor jogo de passaro ### 5/5 — Classic *2024-01-16, version 2.1.10* I’ve been coming back to this game for years now, I love its simplicity compared to the mobile games today. The gameplay loop is addicting and there’s lots of different modes so you can switch it up when you get bored. I hope Ketchapp keeps this game accessible for years to come! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
