### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.4*

Too many ads as per usual with every game anymore. Hope the money is worth ruining every bit of entertainment these days. Little hat activities.

### 4/5 — Cool!

*2026-06-22, version 1.9.4*

Physics are satisfying

### 5/5 — Nostalgia hit

*2026-04-04, version 1.9.4*

I use to play this game all the time years ago but forgot the name but recently I found this game again and it is still peak.

### 1/5 — “pay me or be miserable”

*2026-01-31, version 1.9.4*

Based on other reviews, I don’t know what happened to this game. 
Let’s start first and foremost: it was a clear choice to force an ad every single run. Which would fine if the runs weren’t 30 seconds long. Even displays a message “get rid of these ads every run for $$$$$” Heck, even every 3 runs wouldn’t feel so annoying.
Secondly: why is the currency you can only get from ads or irl money an absolute MUST if you want to upgrade. Gems are few and far between if you try to play for free. Makes a neat little wall that you won’t get past. The game is rigged to make you want to pay to play. And that’s not a free game anymore

### 1/5 — Microtransaction and Ad slop

*2025-11-11, version 1.9.4*

Forced ads after finishing each game, and $2-20 “upgrades” to even play the game in full. Just another low effort mobile game made to milk you for your money. These developers don’t deserve your cash.

### 1/5 — paywall

*2025-08-03, version 1.9.4*

payed for some upgrades in the game a year ago, finished all the levels, came back to it today and its behind a paywall. have to pay just for normal play? what is this filth?

### 1/5 — Honestly don’t even deserve 1 star

*2025-07-30, version 1.9.4*

Everything costs gems just to upgrade your ball thing coin payout huge but that don’t matter bc you gotta upgrade everything with gems terrible feature

### 1/5 — Cash Grab Only

*2025-07-29, version 1.9.4*

Honestly has so much potential. But sadly this game becomes unplayable very quickly once you’ve upgraded so far. So many gems are necessary and require so much time or money to get. Major bummer honestly.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2025-07-18, version 1.9.4*

It’s decent but the clip shows a different style of weapon then in the actual game :/

### 3/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2025-07-14, version 1.9.4*

Just not what I was expecting
