Recently, my account was completely wiped out when an update was pushed out. I had most cards, maxed out at that time and a vast surplus of currency in Worm Wars. I’ve always been logged into game center, so I don’t know what happened. What I do know happened is I got ghosted when making numerous attempts to retrieve my account. This is not an isolated issue. Numerous others have reported similar issues, but were able to get their account restored after multiple frustrating attempts at customer care. If you’re planning on downloading the game, I would highly advise you to not spend any money because it could be lost at the next upgrade with little to no recourse. Just so disappointed after spending so much time in this app, plus being a longtime fan of GPK digital and physical cards. ### 5/5 — Needs fixed‼️ *2023-02-26* After the last update when I go to the Card Collection there is only one character(Roy Bot) When I select ALL or any other selections on Faction,Class or Type it only shows Roy Bot I can’t get the characters I have already unlocked and upgraded so I cannot progress what I have any further This is a fun game and I’d really like to be able to keep playing and if it’s possible to fix in a next update it’ll be much appreciated ### 1/5 — Nostalgia activated *2023-01-26, version 1.28.116* Updated review: NO WAY TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVIce. The game is not listed as an option to use on the form. Also, the Ally Card packs are gone.. (packs you can buy from ally coins earned) ——————————————— Love the simple gameplay and graphics.. And it definitely brings on the nostalgia factor being an 80’s kid.. But this games biggest problem is the same as ever other game of this genre, perhaps even worse, the PAYWALL!!! The amount of time it takes for energy to reboot is insane.. It’s hard to get hooked on a game when you can’t play it, but during a certain window of time.. Sure you can pay money, but with drop rates in the bad to really stupid bad percentages, no thank you.. I’m not spending $100’s of dollars for items that will outdate themselves. ### 3/5 — Cool game *2023-01-08, version 1.27.133* It’s a good game but I hate that you continuously ask to rate it. It’s ruins my rhythm plus I need to play the game for a while before I can accurately rate a game. When you start asking after 15 minutes of playing and every few minutes after that you can’t rate it with any accuracy and you upset the player. Please rethink your strategy ### 4/5 — The game is broken *2022-10-24, version 1.25.131* Cannot progress past number 9 in the arena, and reporting it in their “community bugs” goes unanswered. Meanwhile, whoever was in the top 8 when the error occurred keeps getting amazing rewards every day. And I’m wondering if the devs will make this right for people that keep trying to crack the top 8? The game, as it stands, is broken in an essential way. Getting really close to just deleting it, while I wait for a fix. ### 4/5 — Awesome game! Couple things though. *2022-08-27, version 1.23.117* Really disappointed. I made it totally through the worm hole finally. I thought I would be sent to the next level through the hole itself, but it just let me know that was it I completed the one level. You should be able to go through the worm hole to a whole new level if you get that far. Also. I feel there should be more to do. Maybe a side game to continue playing. Too much time lapses between being Able to play. In addition the game keeps kicking me out. PLEASE, fix the bugs!! Thank you for listening. Hope to see more good things. **Developer response:** Hello, We really appreciate your detailed feedback and encouraging star rating. Our teams will surely consider your feedback.

Keep playing the game and continue to share your suggestions/feedback so that we can improve the game further ! ### 3/5 — It could be better. *2022-07-22, version 1.21.124* It’s a cool game and I love the idea of a garbage pale kids card game, but and it’s a big but. This game is lacking in graphic battles. The cards should have more action to them like if the characters jumped out of there card to attack the opposite card. Like I said it’s a good game and it is a grate idea I just wish there was more graphic action in individuals. Thank you ### 5/5 — I log in after 2 days and have no energy for calamity and regular battles *2022-06-17, version 1.20.202* I don’t understand why I come back and the only energy I get after 2 days is the daily why is my energy not charging while I’m away something is wrong with the game please fix this I love this game and I would hate to talk bad about it there’s no reason why I stop playing for 2 days and come back and have no energy to do nothing **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Pls send us an email at Support@reliancegames.com with your device id and we would look into the issue right away. ## Frequently asked questions about Garbage Pail Kids ### What is Garbage Pail Kids: The Game?
