### 4/5 — less ads can be in the game please

*2026-08-26, version 3.4.1*

this is a great game the 1 star rating reviews are by dumb ppl who do not understand they don’t know what they are doing with the reviews BUT what I would like to SEE in the game is less ADS just in case they get ANOINTING real FAST also make the Pac-Man thing free I love Pac-Man sorry for the 4 stars BTW great game

### 1/5 — Beautiful graphic - awful ads

*2026-08-06, version 3.4.1*

The graphics and gameplay are out of this world.  

Too bad all the ads ruin the game.  Deleted the app after 10 minutes.  My time is too valuable!

### 5/5 — 강제 종료 에러

*2026-08-04*

최고치 점수에 도달하면 그냥 게임이 강제로 종료됨. 이 무슨 이상한 에러를 만들어놔서 게임 점수 갱신을 할수가 없음

### 2/5 — 4th boss is rigged

*2026-07-24, version 3.4.1*

This game pisses me off a little bit because the 4th boss if you don’t have any powerups is literally unbeatable. This is because while fighting it’ll drop a slow moving nuke that explodes the entire screen. There is literally no avoiding or dodging it unless you happen to kill the boss instantly before the nuke is dropped. Mainly you’ll have to upgrade weapon time so that when you grab a weapon before the battle it stays with u. It’s bs that a skill based game like this has a grindy/random component that halts progression. I’ve tried looking up any way to get past it besides cheesing the boss and there’s nothing.

### 1/5 — Money / Coin Pit

*2026-07-17, version 3.4.1*

I downloaded this hoping for a modern version of Galaga. Instead, I got a never-ending monetization machine.

Every few minutes you’re forced to either watch long ads or spend in-game currency to continue. Then you’re immediately hit with more offers to buy coins, premium currency, coin doublers, and other microtransactions. It feels like the game exists to funnel you into spending money rather than simply letting you play.

I wasn’t looking for a casino disguised as an arcade game. I wanted to pay once and enjoy a classic shooter offline. Instead, every death and every new sector is another interruption asking for my time or my wallet.

If you enjoy constant monetization, this might be for you. If you’re looking for the simple “insert coin and play” spirit of the original Galaga, keep looking

### 2/5 — Ehhh

*2026-07-17, version 3.4.1*

I was expecting the real one, not some modernized one littered with ads. Please make a classic mode!

### 1/5 — Incredibly predatory

*2026-07-12, version 3.4.1*

This game will find ways and excuses to use your coins, spit ads at you every 60 seconds and also ask you to buy more coins. Awful.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-07-10, version 3.4.1*

No ads, free gameAnd it is a Great games for kids

### 1/5 — Could be a great game but….

*2026-07-03, version 3.4.1*

Too many ads!!!! How can a person even play? I need a purchase option

### 5/5 — 🕹️👾

*2026-06-29, version 3.4.1*

This bring me back to my classic old arcade days. By the way I made a theme called arcade by the way Pac-Man is in Fruit Ninja
