The only issue I have is that they all follow the same layout: same map every game, one door, alarm that breaks, and being able to close doors on the map. Every one of the games is beatable by just standing at the door and closing it at the right time. Add more mechanics and different maps like for example: in Stickman survival there was an actual door power mechanic which made it more challenging but in all the other games there was no door power and instead there was a cooldown. If there were more mechanics and different maps for each game then people would probably have loads more fun. ### 5/5 — Hard *2020-10-21, version 1.0* What going on guys today we’re playing a game called night 4 and 5 is HARD so lets go. 2 hours later Thes game is Impossible ### 5/5 — perfection. *2020-09-30, version 1.0* Ok so- I’m about to sound like some kind of payed reviewer writing this, but this isn’t that type of deal. - This game is SO AMAZING the graphics are adorable and I absolutely LOVE the colors 😆 - It’s a great starter for anyone who wants to try fnaf- that’s why I got this, to kinda prep me I guess. It’s addicting. I love everything about this! It’s so much fun. Developers, if you’re reading this, please make more games and don’t let ANYTHING or ANYONE stop you. Y’all are talented. I love your stuff 💗 kthxbye 😆 ### 4/5 — Both fun and funny *2020-09-26, version 1.0* I got jumpscared to see what it looked like... it was so funny! It’s also fun! Thank you for reading! ### 5/5 — Stradigy : do not remove *2020-09-14, version 1.0* How to win most of them without losing 1.Make A noise in disco or arcade 2.If there is 1 or 2+ emojis trap them >:) 3.keep trapping them for the hole night that’s how I win ### 5/5 — W h y *2020-08-18, version 1.0* when i got on night 2 everything changed everytime the alarm sounds and i look at the door , none of them came and then it kept going till night 4 , is this a glitch? ### 5/5 — Fun!!!! *2020-07-15, version 1.0* I know this is hard. But it’s fun on road trips and pretty good ### 5/5 — LOL *2020-06-28, version 1.0* I like that it’s not to scary and it’s kinda funny 😀😍😂 I like it so much ;) ### 4/5 — Love it *2020-06-24, version 1.0* Very good and I like that every night a new one comes but the only thing that is bad is sometimes they can go across the map straight to you Over all great ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2020-06-19, version 1.0* I think this is a very good game it gives you that kind of thrill when you play it ### 5/5 — Pretty hard but still good *2020-05-27, version 1.0* The game it self is pretty good with game play an the rising difficulty and pretty creative for the door Physics so you don’t be a idiot and hide be hind a metal door yeah and map and cams that is very original This is the gang 😭😍😄 ### 3/5 — I like it *2020-05-18, version 1.0* So I like this game it’s a cool fan game but I paid for the things but I never got it but I like it. ### 5/5 — Challenging and very fun *2020-05-01, version 1.0* This game isn’t only fun yet simple it’s also challenging. It gets definitely gets harder as the nights go on. Some are mad that the alarm breaks but I think that adds to the challenge because you have unlimited power. Sooo in the end it just makes it extremely fun. It also has a simple design to it so it doesn’t overwhelm you. I’d like another game like this but with a few different mechanics and different characters maybe like fnaf 2 but with cats? Also here’s a few tips -when the alarm breaks check the door a bit more frequently don’t count on that alarm. -USE THE LURES!!!! These really come in handy - if you get all emojis in a room DONT JUST LOCK THEM IN!! Yes for a bit is fine but sometimes the power will malfunction(probs so you can’t cheat and just trap them) and it will release them and you’ll lose them so just close the doors when you feel it’s needed yes a trap for a bit is fine but not for long!!! - when you can track them watch them and don’t trap them it would be a waste for the tracking so use the tracking to your advantage while you have it ;p Have fun with this game because it’s great and I’d play a second!!!! ^^ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game is just a bad gashcrab *2022-04-28, version 1.1* When I was playing you couldn’t litterly do anything cuz the smile would reappear after the cool down went of this is just a easy no good waste of time😡 ### 1/5 — TRASH AND TERRIBLE🧸🗑 *2020-11-17, version 1.1* NSUNSJSNS ok i will calm down and say the problems 1. I mean I’m eight and it wasn’t scary never mind being ten years old so why is this game twelve plus 2. You copy and pasted this to another game of yours 3. Scott would be disappointed it’s boring and lazy Ok thanks for hearing me out and if you please fix the I will be so happy! ### 1/5 — Don’t play this *2020-03-21, version 1.0* Bro it’s not fair how the alarm Brakes I want to door is opening I got to wait 20 seconds to be able to use it again and the emojis come at your door in night 3 when you have to wait 7 seconds and the jumpscare you so Quick Game creator if your reading this you NEED TO FIX THE GAME AND THE THINGS I SALD IF I COME BACK TO THE GAME AND ITS NOT FIXED IM GOING TO RATE YOUR GAME 0 STARS GOT IT! ### 2/5 — A little boring *2021-02-26, version 1.1* there’s no real challenge just watch the door and that’s all you gotta do no need for the cameras they did not even go to the door on night 4-5 ### 2/5 — Why the game is only two stars for me *2020-08-28, version 1.0* Why can’t there just be no timer it’s hard enough knowing there is them coming for you the only problem is night three I can’t get past it because closed door door opens what do ya know EMOJI before I can even shut the door I know I’m being dramatic and that it is just a game but dude if you make a game at least make it playable ### 2/5 — Not the best *2019-10-21, version 1.0* Does have a similar concept to the first and third FNAF game to it, however, there was no guide whatsoever and It took me 2 tries to figure out what the hell I was doing. Also it has a camera contraption that just breaks down. Finally, it is no where near is frighteningly exciting as Five Nights at Freddy’s because of the fact that everything is super colorful and beats one of the main factors in making a good horror game ### 2/5 — They jumpscare you even when the door is shut *2017-05-18, version 1.0* It's annoying! Don't get it it's a wast of space ### 3/5 — Sometimes impossible... *2020-07-24, version 1.0* Well it’s a really fun game! But still sometimes I’ll close the door on one then while it’s closed another one will appear! Look I may only be 9, but I’m in gifted and talented along with my sister! You’d think we’d be able to solve this kind of stuff! ### 3/5 — Great but uh level 4 needs...... *2020-07-17, version 1.0* To be improved! Because you’ll close the door to block the poo poo 💩 out but then after you have to wait 10 seconds for it to turn on and In those stupid 10 seconds the poo 💩 appears again and there’s nothing you can do about it!!!!!!!!!!!! So yah..... and the tracker system at least to work for a little longer then 2 seconds... #😍😭💩😈 ### 3/5 — I am scared 😫😫😫 *2020-07-12, version 1.0* Level one I know is easy but when I heard laughing I said no I’m shutting it down I know everyone probably minutes of four already but I’m scared I’m very scared ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is changing each night *2023-08-08* So for new people stay at your door and don’t move and they won’t come: so my review is I like the crying one but he stays at my door for 9 secs and I like it it makes it harder to play ### 5/5 — Love the game but.. *2023-08-08* I love it but sometimes the alarm doesn’t make a sound even when it’s not broken but it’s probably a bug on my phone love the game can you make more of these survival games ### 5/5 — very challenging! *2023-07-13* This game is really HARD and on night 2 when my door said to wait to close it the poo emoji got me when my door was done to close! I really like this game! the developer of this game should make an emoji survival 2! or 3! im glad this game exists! ### 5/5 — I like it *2022-10-30, version 1.1* It is fun, but I wish it was not that fast ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-10-15, version 1.1* Even better than fnf, no words to explain. ### 5/5 — I love this game but it can be too challenging sometimes *2021-07-24, version 1.1* First off the door cooldown takes way to long. For example I was able to get rid of smiley emoji 😍 but after that crying emoji 😭 came in when the door was at 8 seconds until I could use it again. My suggestion is that the door cooldown is at 5 instead of 10. Other then that this is probably one of the best fnaf fan games in my opinion. ### 5/5 — YES PLAY THIS *2021-06-08, version 1.1* So when i was playing for the first time it was so creeping ik it’s just emojis But still it was fun Also It’s annoying That Heart Emoji always kill me ### 5/5 — Actually terrified from it *2021-02-24, version 1.1* When I say that I a mean it’s scary good game I was playing with headphones stick man survival is not scary but this one it’s scared my soul too where I don’t wanna do second night I learn something already about it my tracker goes bye bye I can’t turn it off but you know the sounds thingy I had to use it to keep calm I was scared (now I have to say I’m not usually a scaredy-cat but this game got the door thing with it the light flickers but that was not scary by a lot but I’m horror games lights are my enemies legit but what scared me was the emoji sounds that it made it triggered my fight or flight response which I was super scared this game is worth it people who read this should play it) any way the people who made this game and Stickman survival make more first person fnaf it was scary but perfect for me play this game with headphones trust me horror games and headphones are the stuff like one you can move by yourself like granny well I can track her down with my headphones or earbuds both are very good I mark down maps so I guess that’s how sound works for me anyway good dang game scary ### 5/5 — Game of the month for me *2021-02-03, version 1.1* This is the best Five Nights game. It deserves to be on the front page, best of all, it’s challenging. With one door, and the alarm breaking, you feel the suspense FNaF wasn’t able to make. I got Jumpscared on night 3. It made me laugh. Best game. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-10-28, version 1.0* This game is even better than FNAF It has so much more detail and the emojis are so cute I love how you can continue playing from the same night you were on even if you died. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
