### 2/5 — It’s ok but game is buggy

*2026-09-03*

It’s a decently entertaining game for a little while. The add are obnoxious but you don’t have to watch them if you’re ok without having any extras to help win levels. 

My main complaint is that the game just won’t load half the time. It just says ‘Login failed. Try again?’ Which is pointless bc it still won’t load the game. If it keeps happening then I’ll just delete this game.

### 2/5 — Great game! BUT THE ADDS !!! GAME IS BROKEN

*2026-08-30*

I can’t claim anything It’s completely broken PLEASE FIX !!!!!! This is a great game! With all games on the market, majority of them come with ads (30 sec). BUT with this game the ads can be up to 2 minutes long, which is a complete joke! Even when the ad is over you have to close it five different times to even get out of that add!

### 3/5 — Good game, adds suck

*2026-08-18*

Even after paying for no adds you’re still required to sit and watch adds for most of the necessary things needed to progress. Quite disappointing.

### 4/5 — Great game but to many ads

*2026-08-15*

The ads are long and boring and don’t change I have to watch the same ad 7 times in like five minutes of playing

### 3/5 — I don’t understand

*2026-08-12*

Why games have to follow a trend it’s literally not cool I mean come up with something original quit copying off of other freakin game ads it doesn’t get people to play it just makes you people look stupid and not original or you can’t make original content

### 3/5 — Great gameplay, ruined by aggressive monetization

*2026-08-09*

The core game itself is genuinely nice and a lot of fun to play. However, the ad structure is completely exhausting. You are forced to sit through 60 to 90-second ads just to claim basic rewards. Even worse, even after paying to remove ads, you still have to watch repetitive ads to get those rewards. It feels like a double-dip that disrespects both your time and your money. I wanted to love this, but I had to give up playing.

### 3/5 — Fun game just a couple bugs

*2026-07-29*

I played a couple rounds and the screen wants me to get some free shard but I have to upgrade my character first but I can’t upgrade my character cuz it wants me to collect the shards but I can’t get the shard cuz it wants me to upgrade my character first so in and so forth. I’d live to play it if it’d let me anything but stay stuck on that screen.

### 2/5 — Potential. But it’s broken.

*2026-07-25*

Game has potential, but it’s currently broken. Forcing you to click the shop menu to claim free stuff but when you get in there it’s trying to force you to click on 2 different option, and then you can click either of them. Continuous error telling you to click where it’s asking, but it’s glitched on the 2 options. 

Fix that and maybe I could progress past level 3

### 3/5 — Good but you have to pay

*2026-07-24, version 2.05.000*

It’s fun & I’ve loved playing it. But you hit a pay wall a few weeks in where you have to buy stuff to keep advancing.

### 4/5 — Ads Galore!

*2026-07-21*

This game has a lot of potential, but it is a pay to win game as progress is very slow without reaching the top tier to get red keys consistently. Also slow obviously because you need to watch a minimum of 15 ads to finish all the daily activities. If you enjoy the game, do yourself a favour and get the lifetime card. Very expensive but your time is worth more.

### 4/5 — Long games that crash

*2026-07-14*

This is a really fun game. Just to be clear. It’s got lots of potential. The games take a long time to complete. There’s several waves. If you get interrupted while playing the game, maybe your six-year-old is asking you to help tie his shoes, or if you need to use another app for a moment, it will crash, even if you were having the game of your life. And then you start from Square one. It’s really frustrating. I wish that it would save and pick up where I left off when I get interrupted. This has happened so many times. Which means that I now restrict the times which I play to hours of the day that I anticipate not being interrupted. Like midnight.

### 4/5 — Level mix ups?

*2026-07-14*

Have noticed that the easy levels for 32, 34, and 36 almost seem like the hard levels and that their hard levels feel like the easy ones. Is this the case or fixable?

### 3/5 — 5 star game but…

*2026-07-12, version 2.04.003*

It doesn’t matter how many ads you watch, there’s always another one waiting….

### 3/5 — Only reason I won’t spend any cash on this game

*2026-07-10, version 2.04.001*

It crashes quite a bit. I can tell when it starts to have pauses I know it will crash very shortly - sucks because I almost finish level 20 - but it otherwise fun to play

### 3/5 — A shame

*2026-07-10, version 2.03.003*

It’s a shame that the game has bugs. I habe 2 red weapons ready to unlock (3 pizes each) and they don’t unlock…

### 2/5 — Whole lotta ads

*2026-07-08*

The shop has a refresh option but you watch an ad, the items switch but all items are sold out for some reason. You can watch 3 ads in a row but the items never stop being sold out. You can’t really progress at all without watching extra ads, plus there are random extra ads too.

### 1/5 — Game Will Not Open

*2026-07-05, version 2.03.003*

I’ve seen this game as ads within other games and finally gave it an attempt to download. 

The game will not open after many attempts. The error message says, login failed. 

If this can be fixed, I will gladly give the game another chance, and update my review if there are improvements.

### 1/5 — No idea what I’m doing

*2026-07-04, version 2.03.003*

This game assumes you have played similar games, which I have not.  I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing or how anything I do matters. I’m deleting it now. A basic tutorial could have made all the difference.

### 1/5 — Add heavy

*2026-09-03*

Standard tower game with far too many and far too long ads. Deleted

### 1/5 — Chiant

*2026-08-30*

Se fait littéralement spam quoi faire

### 1/5 — Can’t Play

*2026-08-05*

App doesn’t work. I open it, it tells me the login failed, then it crashes.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the issue affecting your gameplay.Our team is investigating the issue, we will help locate the issue. We appreciate your feedback.

### 1/5 — Last update forces apple to go to google play

*2026-08-04*

The most current update redirects apple users to update via google App Store site or exit.  Developers need to do better. 

2 weeks later, another update, can now login once a week if I’m lucky.  As soon as you get far or spend, you can no longer login.  No way to save your profile & redownload.  Clearing game cache doesn’t help.  Don’t waste your time!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. This issue has been reported to the R&D team, and improvements will be made.

### 1/5 — Glitched

*2026-07-31*

Can’t get past tutorial. Tells me to click the free diamond, but doesn’t work. And it won’t let me get out of the page. Keeps telling me to follow the finger guidance. Looked like a promising game. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Desperation for Monetization Crushes Gameplay Experience

*2026-07-28*

This game could be great if it wasn’t evident that the sole purpose is to get people to watch as many ads and purchase as many in-app currencies as possible. I understand that game companies need to make money but this is one of those cases where the desperate efforts to do so completely ruins the gameplay experience.

### 1/5 — 현질유도 개역겨울정도로 심하다

*2026-07-21*

### 1/5 — Insane ad length

*2026-07-18*

The game is decently fun, but I made the mistake of watching an ad for a pickaxe while playing a round. The ad was 3 minutes! Insane. No skip button appeared. I thought maybe it was a bug and it happened again, and when I closed the app it lost all the progress on the level. Talk about abusing their player base… it is a shame.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the frustrating experience. We understand how disappointing it is to spend time watching an ad for a reward and then lose your progress afterward.

We will actively investigate the issue with unusually long ads and missing skip options to improve the ad experience. We will also continue optimizing the game stability to reduce progress loss during gameplay.

Thank you for your feedback and patience. Your comments help us improve the game experience.

### 1/5 — Improve

*2026-07-10*

Y’all need to stop advertising solo spellcasting if you’re not going to update that game any further… you have a game that can have so much potential but you’re just letting it die out, yet gives this game an update which isn’t even that fun to play. Stop slacking on solo spellcasting and start implementing some new ideas and make some updates already.

### 1/5 — Poorly made

*2026-07-09*

Love watching an ad so my door repairs only for it to not repair and me to lose my match. A reoccurring issue that should be fixed especially when  you’re forced to watch ads if you don’t want to lose every other match. 

Will change rating if the glitch and ad balances are fixed cause it’s genuinely not a terrible game this stuff just ruins the experience completely.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry that the door restoration issue affected your match and caused you to lose progress.

We understand how frustrating it can be to watch an ad for a reward but not receive the expected effect. Our team is actively investigating and working on fixing this issue to improve the stability of the feature.

We truly appreciate your support and your understanding. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to improve the game experience.

### 5/5 — BUG ON SERVER

*2026-08-30*

Hi, Developer, I Just Do This To Contact You Guys The Fastest Way Possible, I’m Playin’ Like 5 Mins Ago & I Notice That A BUG On The Server Is Pesterin’ People, Like When You Open The App They Gave You All Your Stuff But Don’t Appear On Your Account Like Coins, Chest, Or Diamonds, You Just Click & Nothing Happen, Fix That Please, & Thanks, Very Dun Game BTW, Better Than Stay Room… & Stay Room It’s My Favorite After Forest Cabin Right Now.

### 5/5 — Visual glitch

*2026-07-23*

Love the game just encountered an in-game visual glitch that only lasted the match I was in and stopped after so I believe it fixed itself but I can send in the video for further investigation if needed.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-29, version 2.03.002*

This game is so fun I love it, it’s super addictive I can’t stop playing. Only thing is the ads it’s so annoying

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-29*

Lots of ads but the ads feel worth it not arbitrary. My only real complaint is being sent to the Google play store when I hit “update now” on an Apple device.

### 5/5 — Cute game with nice art

*2026-06-13*

There’s a lot of ads unless you pay to be ad free, but besides that the game is cute and I enjoy playing it a lot <3 give me Coraline vibes in the best way possible

### 5/5 — Ads.. omg..

*2026-05-20, version 2.00.036*

Is there anyway to remove the ads or lessen them?

### 5/5 — Ads keep glitching

*2026-05-11*

I go to watch an ad for a reward but it either freezes doesn’t register and I lose anyways after 120 second ads

### 5/5 — Love the game but ads are way too long

*2026-05-09*

I love this game, but the ads, who are basically mandatory if you want to advance, are way too long, boring and repetitive. A 90 second ad which repeats the same video 3 times has absolutely no sense, it makes you hate the advertised game, it makes you wish to delete the game you’re playing and for sure does not make anything remotely appealing. A 30 second ads is more than sufficient to show you the gameplay and to tease you into maybe trying that game. I’m putting a 1 star review on every advertised game with an ad longer than 30 seconds. Cut the ads length and I will give you 5 stars, because the game really is worth it

### 5/5 — Gorilla

*2026-04-20*

How in the hell do you defeat the gorilla guy, it is genuinely so frustrating, I’m on EASY, if that’s easy, then what is hard like???

### 5/5 — 캐릭터복구

*2026-03-24*

캐릭터복구 좀 해주세요 안되면 결제된금액이라도 복구해주세요
