It’s now completely unplayable for me because the “add spaceship” button is permanently greyed out. If this gets fixed along with other glitches, I will most likely change my review. I would have given it at least 4 stars if it weren’t for these glitches. ### 2/5 — Ads block purchases *2026-08-27* I can’t buy half the upgrades because the lower banner ad covers the buttons ### 2/5 — Enjoyable but broken *2026-08-27* I’ve noticed several bugs with the coins but they weren’t game breaking. Got to a level to revive the stars and one was already fully revived from the beginning so the level couldn’t be completed. I uninstalled and installed it again and now on a collect coins mission, the progress bar is just growing past the number of coins required to complete. I was enjoying the game enough to pay for the ad free experience, now I regret it. ### 2/5 — Lots of bugs *2026-08-27* I would love this game if it worked properly. Sometimes you upgrade something and it doesn’t actually work (which is doubly annoying when you use gems to upgrade the discount on leveling up stuff and it still costs the same amount as before the upgrade), sometimes the progress bar doesn’t actually track your progress, or gets really big on the screen, sometimes the lines you have to pass over to get coins doesn’t appear in the game, leaving you stuck with 0 coins. Lots of little bugs ### 1/5 — Bug and boring loop *2026-08-20* Bug on map 8. I already „revived“ the stars but the bar isn’t filling and I wasn’t moved to the next level. Even playing a different level or reselecting level 8 and start from scratch doesn’t work either. Gameplay loop is kinda boring. A bit more variation would be cool. Upgrades are to expensive and I don’t know how to even unlock them when being stuck at map 8. daily challenge is always reach 1B coins. Boring aswell since the amount of gems you get for the time you have to put in is just not worth it. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-08-19* Too many forced ads ### 1/5 — Glitches and won’t progress *2026-08-17* Played several levels. Made it to a level with 2 stars. One was already filled. Progress bar only went half way before stopping. Deleted and reinstalled and same thing happened on the first revive the planet level. ### 1/5 — Vibrations *2026-08-15* No way to disable vibration on merge ### 2/5 — Restore purchase doesn’t work *2026-08-14* Had to delete the game when it glitched and brought remove ads after reinstalling and pressing the restore purchases I still get the ads ### 1/5 — needs repair and changes *2026-08-13* Bug: buy new ship button greyed out and doesn’t get fixed after app refresh Settings: sound slider setting get reset after every ad. Vibrate setting stays on even when setting is turned off after an ad or after closing and reopening app. Suggestion: add a setting to remove the merge slowdown as it seems the slowdown does not get cleared if multiple merges are done at once possibly causing the massive permanent slowdown. ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-08-12* Most games have ads, but this game has way too many ads you play for 30 seconds at you play for 30 seconds. Add you player for 30 seconds and it’s actually ridiculous. ### 2/5 — needs repair and changes *2026-08-04, version 1.6.5* Bug: massive slowdown when mashing the merge button that does not get fixed unless the app is closed and reopened. Settings: sound slider setting get reset after every ad. Vibrate setting stays on even when setting is turned off after an ad or after closing and reopening app. Suggestion: add a setting to remove the merge slowdown as it seems the slowdown does not get cleared if multiple merges are done at once possibly causing the massive permanent slowdown. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-03* I remember when games let you play to relax but how can I do that when ads pop up so frequently. I WILL NOT spend money on a game to remove ads either! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun game ruined by insane ad frequency *2026-09-02* The game lets you play just long enough to get interested then starts to hit you with ads nearly every 30 seconds to a minute. I don’t mind watching ads for power ups or other freebies, but I’m not about to be extorted into paying to make the game actually playable. Uninstalled 👎 ### 1/5 — Шляпа *2026-08-30* Хотел найти хоть один пиксель без рекламы, не нашёл ### 1/5 — Progress loss *2026-08-30* I just hit the 1.2mill triangle progress on infinite and went back into the app and it somehow just got rid of all of my progress? It disappeared my advances stars completely. Wish the team would help me. So annoying. I’ve spent money on this game and it doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Ads block buttons *2026-08-28* Unable to play the game because the banner ad at the bottom of the screen covers the upgrade buttons. ### 1/5 — Level broken *2026-08-27* Level 2 u have to revive the star and once u do nothing happens also leaving the level n coming back Dosent reset the star and upon coming back no bar progressions made. Waste of 5 bucks ### 1/5 — Mediocre time waster game *2026-08-25* A LOT of issues personally would like to see fixed: I have a map with no bar so I cant earn anything. Restarted game, still no bar. Fix rounding issues, if I have 10 coins and an upgrade is 10 coins, I should be able to buy it. Put truth into the costs of upgrades: ie when I have more coins than the upgrade costs, why am I in negative numbers? Make more of a distinction between ship levels, they look way too similar. Make buttons bigger, it takes me 5 taps just to claim gems. Move the bottom upgrade buttons up. Theyre so low I can force close the game trying to purchase upgrades. Fix lag when upgrade is available. Fix issue with being able to buy more ships than circuit can fit. Make buttons on sides for gem upgrades and daily tasks bigger, also allow us to check in and ALL exclaimation marks disappear. Tried to do daily quests, game froze trying to load back into normal game. ### 1/5 — Bugs make it unplayable *2026-08-24* I made it all the way to level 11 but the reward lines completely disappeared and even watching an ad to add a line doesn’t work. This made it completely unplayable. Same thing on Endless mode. I would love this game if it actually worked… ### 1/5 — Bug and boring loop *2026-08-24* Bug on map 8. I already „revived“ the stars but the bar isn’t filling and I wasn’t moved to the next level. Even playing a different level or reselecting level 8 and start from scratch doesn’t work either. Gameplay loop is kinda boring. A bit more variation would be cool. Upgrades are to expensive and I don’t know how to even unlock them when being stuck at map 8. daily challenge is always reach 1B coins. Boring aswell since the amount of gems you get for the time you have to put in is just not worth it. Edit: they fixed the level 8 bug, which is awesome but now there is a bug on level 11. you gotta cross the line x times but there is no line. Unplayable ### 1/5 — Fake Game just to make you watch Ads *2026-08-24* I won’t lie, I was having a good time playing. However, I got to world 11 and there was no “reward line”. The reward line is the only way to get coins and because you start each world at 0, there was no way to earn coins. The only way was to watch ads which only gives you 12 coins when buying another reward line costs 250. Absolute joke ### 1/5 — Games broken at lvl 10-11 *2026-08-23* Level 10 skips, and level 11 can’t progress at all due to no actual reward line ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I really do enjoy the game but… *2026-08-25* EDIT: THEY FIXED IT LIKE 30 mins after my last review Just deleted and reinstalled and it made me restart from the beginning just to end up at the same level. The same level that didn’t have a reward line. So that the spaceship won’t collect any money….. just came back after watching 12 adds to get enough money to buy the next reward line and that one isn’t there either I do enjoy this game but I’m about to uninstall and change my review ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-05* Very Zen ### 5/5 — Has potential give it a try *2026-04-12* I like the game so far. Some fixes could be done to improve gameplay. First- have a prestige system where you can reset but keep those perks you get from the purple triangles. But also have infinity perks with a separate currency. Second- in infinity mode when you upgrade a ship to the point where the new one is a higher class, the old lower class ships are stuck if you have one or two, they can’t be merged. So that clogs up the track. Also for infinity make it so that you can upgrade the track and money lines more. Third- instead of pressing for the speed boost, how about tapping. Also make an option to stop the pulsing during speed it stains the eyes. Fourth- maybe add a component to make different line types, like speed up or double shot or something like that. It would be cool. ### 4/5 — Fun but glitches *2026-07-27* This game is very fun and satisfying but it glitches so much. When I use the speed boost sometimes it will go slow but still show the amount of of money you would gain if it were going fast. And sometimes I would pay for a merge but it won’t merge. ### 4/5 — Slow motion>(AS SOON AS (MERGE HAPPENS!)Challenges, Main Missions( thx2 “merge effects”) 4 iPhone8s+ *2026-07-12* The merge effects = destroy the movements of the ship and looks like= impressions and experiences it’s moving extremely slow “like a realistic= time space travel = while it looks like it also slows the “2x speed boost= completely glitching it” Before that why add= 5$ remove ad’s for =why not make it like “XP HERO”( free from ads= only manual/opportunity/optional = ads for rewards=progress progression speed! It’s simple/similar survey I shared my experiences/suggestions from@ Meanwhile@ This is why i said its=> Well that makes it completely impossible to do regular missions= gems & challenges Just great! With that I have no need to be online( for long daily thx 2 this change) App down the drain I put so much effort into.( only left for a daily log in for now. Fix=remove completely as it was “free of special effects for merge” Unless I can just delete the app & be done with me(“ its enough 2 discorange & make it impossible to enjoy the app< slow motions ships movement\s what I cant even call moments of “moving just stuck in space and time lol”) Take care & hopefully it will be sync app= that ways i can transfer it into new phone/s! Asap plz. (Restore my hope plz.) ### 4/5 — Bug at lvl 8 *2026-05-06, version 1.5.9* Cant go pass lvl 8 the planet are full but nothing happens ### 3/5 — Naja *2026-08-24* Das Spiel ist ein guter Zeitvertreib ab plötzlich nicht mehr spielbar. Es gibt keine Linien mehr um Geld zu sammeln ### 3/5 — I like it, but Fix Your Game! *2026-08-11* Okay, first off i wanna preface this by saying i like the game, but there’s some serious fixes that need to be done. So to the Game Developers, you have some work to do. I So recently i got to world 8 (where you need to Revive 2 dead Planets or Stars as you call them.) but when the level loaded in, one of the stars was already fully revived and prevented me from completing the level, but it would only let me get halfway on the progress bar, and when i loaded into a previous level to see if it was a simple glitch, it deleted all my progress in the progress bar and left me with 2 completely revived planets (aka Stars.) and i ended up having to uninstall and reinstall the game. Which leads me to my next issue, i purchased the Remove Ads item, and when i reinstalled the game, i completed the tutorial (as one should.) then when i went to click restore purchases (No Ads) it did not remove the ads at all, like it should’ve, as i had purchased it. I would be expecting to have something that i purchased to work, instead it did not do what was advertised and i am now playing the game with ads again. (Which was already annoying to deal with the 1st time, but i do not want to deal with ads a 2nd time.) Do i think my review & rating is Harsh? Not at all! i think it is firm, but fair. As to be expected, no game is going to be absolutely perfect, there is bound to be some sort of flaws in sny game or app that is downloaded. ### 3/5 — Stuck *2026-07-27, version 1.6.5* Good game. But I have just reached lvl 8 and it won’t finish. You get about 90% on completion bar and then it stops. Please fix this ### 2/5 — Purchasing “No Ads” doesn’t remove all ads *2026-09-02* I am going to refund my purchase of “no ads” since buying it didn’t remove all ads from game. If the dev fixes this then I hope they respond to my review so that I can redownload the game and purchase again. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
