### 1/5 — Game of Only Adds!

*2026-04-11, version 0.1.9*

In the walk through was adds. Every click, every reward. I was just waiting to play…but add after add. This is the impression the developer wants us to have when we are just starting?! 
After all the adds I was now able to play, and guess what, yep more adds. Pay for no adds lol! Wait, you mean this game can be played?
-Happily deleted.

### 1/5 — Force ads

*2026-02-17, version 0.1.9*

Force ads!

### 2/5 — Too many ads to be fun

*2026-02-05, version 0.1.9*

30-90 second ads mid game is a huge no. I’ll gladly watch ads to get perks, I’ll gladly watch ads when I finish a level… but mid game, just to make a penny. Nope. Not from me. It’s sad that so many apps have taken this route. So two stars because I really do like the game. But no more than that because I’d rather spend more time playing the game than watching ads.  Do better.

### 2/5 — Too many forced ads

*2025-12-05, version 0.1.9*

I like the game, it’s challenging but I don’t like the constant forced ads. There are other games like this that don’t force you to watch ads. I watch ads to gain better gears or other currencies within the game. I’m getting really close to deleting your game because there are too many forced ads.

### 1/5 — 不看廣告就不能繼續

*2025-11-25, version 0.1.9*

那就都別玩了

### 1/5 — Force ads every 2-3mins

*2025-10-25, version 0.1.9*

Force ads coming out every 2-3mins

### 1/5 — Wanna see ads?

*2025-10-18, version 0.1.9*

Ads, ads & more ads. Or spend a lot for no ads.

### 1/5 — Pubblicità

*2025-09-21, version 0.1.9*

Allora il gioco in sé è anche carino ma la pubblicità mentre sono in partita no…. Capisco voler guadagnare ma non così trovate altri modi sennò dureranno 10 secondi i player del vostro gioco

### 1/5 — Honest Review

*2025-09-05, version 0.1.9*

Games quite good but too much ads..when ads pop-up, all the sound missing..

### 1/5 — Complete garbage

*2025-08-03, version 0.1.9*

Way too many ads. Can't even play the game more than 30s without another forced ad
