If no mater what you do win or lose you get a ad I love y’all’s content I really do I would have instantly given it 5 stars if there was less ads. And if there was a 4 and a half star ⭐️ option I would have picked that for this review! ### 5/5 — The game *2026-08-29, version 37.0.0* So fun exiting and new ### 2/5 — Mid *2026-08-29, version 37.0.0* Really good game, used to love playing when I was younger but two ads per mini game is insane, there needs to be way less ads for this game to be enjoyable like old times, I’m not going to pay for the ad block but that many ads for the free version is insane. ### 2/5 — Full of ads *2026-08-28, version 37.0.0* Imposible to play with the amounts of ads in game ### 2/5 — WAS a GOOD game *2026-08-28, version 37.0.0* the countless ads make it unbearable to play. there's so many ads to where you can't even push an "X" to get out of the ad to continue playing the game, even once the ad is finished. the ad problem is so bad it lags out the game. it disappoints me because i was looking forward to play since it was a childhood game ### 5/5 — Dumb ways to buy *2026-08-26, version 37.0.0* Nice chill game to play on Friday nights ngl I’m staying up playing this rn. but paying to remove adds is outrageous I’m just playin this because the music video is stuck in my head. Still love the game though I’m 12 so don’t take this seriously ### 5/5 — This game is great only one problem. *2026-08-25, version 37.0.0* TOO. MANY. ADS! I liked this game better when it didn’t have any ads so please get rid of them all. ### 5/5 — Be safe around trains *2026-08-24, version 37.0.0* Bro this is epic I love how you save beans from funny deaths and my fave is numpty the song is good to , it is the best game that tells you to be safe around trains the beans are so dumb , it is really bloody though , so there is a way to get rid of adds turn off the Internet ### 2/5 — Holy Ads *2026-08-24, version 37.0.0* Can’t even do a whole play through without an ad between the levels. Don’t waste your time. ### 2/5 — Why so many changes and ads?? *2026-08-23, version 37.0.0* I’ve played this game for song long ever since I was about 6 years old and now it’s just so different. Ads after almost every single mini game, the mini games stopping and asking you if you want to play more for in game currency, an add if you unpause the game?? It’s a nightmare! The devs have went from making fun game that raises awareness to train safety to another greedy cooperation. ### 5/5 — So cool game *2026-08-23, version 37.0.0* I gave it 5 stars ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too much Ads *2026-09-06, version 37.0.0* On the 2nd game it gave an add then in the whole round it was another add so I deleted it. Under two minutes as 2 ads? Thats one ad per minute….It used to be better now it’s ruined. I probably won’t ever download again because of this experience. Once games are ruined like this it’s game over. And don’t comment something like the ads help us. That’s why too many ads it’s ridiculous now you literally can’t enjoy the game anymore. It’s nearly impossible to play. Oh and you respond by saying pay to remove the ads no thank you I have Pokemon go, clash of clans and many free games. ### 1/5 — Classic Game Ruined *2026-09-05, version 37.0.0* I used to absolutely love this game and decided to redownload it with nostalgia, I pressed play and made it through one minigame before getting an ad. The old version had ads too but they would at least wait until you died instead of directly interrupting the flow of gameplay. Not to mention there isnt even an endless mode which was the only option originally, you get cut off and restart after 10 minigames. There are also a lot of additional minigames which, while appreciated, kind of take away the old feel. There are sequels to this game why not put the new minigames into those and preserve the original expirience. Overall the changed game just isnt worth playing anymore. ### 1/5 — Ads, Greed, and Slop. *2026-09-02, version 37.0.0* Ever since the greed, the ads have gotten worse and worse. There is now an ad every 2 or 3 rounds. They also removed a lot of the old animations and levels, replacing them with more “family friendly” ones. Thanks a lot, Safety First, I never see myself playing this game again. ### 1/5 — Ruined ads *2026-08-29, version 37.0.0* They ruined this game by putting an absolutely insane amount of ads now it’s unplayable ### 1/5 — Holy ads bro *2026-08-29, version 37.0.0* I played for 5 minutes and got 8 ads. No way jose. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-29, version 37.0.0* The game main thing is ads I watched one ad an than it instantly gave me another ad. Fix it ### 1/5 — Could be good but ads ruined *2026-08-28, version 37.0.0* Infested with ads and you can not get through two mini games without one. Nostalgia chance wasted! ### 1/5 — Ads after every level *2026-08-23, version 37.0.0* Theres genuinely endless ads not one level can I go without 2 unskipable ads ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-21, version 37.0.0* Used to be a brilliant game, now unplayable thanks to ads. All the games are awful now too ### 1/5 — Ridiculous amount of adverts *2026-08-20, version 37.0.0* Advert in the first game after touching the screen literally once ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — holy moly *2026-09-06, version 37.0.0* best game ive touched honestly (i wish i could get dumb ways to build but im too broke to afford a console) ### 5/5 — EAT A TWO WEEK OLD UNREFRIGERATED PIE DUMB WAYS DO DIE *2026-09-05, version 37.0.0* So my mom taught me this a while back and its so fun and dumb (its i the title) but also challenging and the song is so good and for anyone who dosent know search up dumb ways to die on youtube but i love it ### 5/5 — Really good game *2026-09-01, version 37.0.0* The game is good I like that it just doesn’t repeat the same levels again and again ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-09-01, version 37.0.0* The song and game is my favorite childhood memory although ads are in the game and it’s kinda broken for me like since is not here at the station it’s ok Im having a good time and this game or the song will never get old god bless you ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-09-01, version 37.0.0* I’ve introduced this game to my friends and they love it too! I love the song this game saved my life a few times! It mostly would be great to teach kids for safety but its 13+ anyways this game is awesome ive never had any adds idk what others are saying or maybe bc i play offline its kinda sad how u need coins to buy stuff to change ur looks, i cant even earn coins.!
