### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2025-02-25*

Помню как в детстве играл в похожую флеш-игру в интернете. Спасибо за ностальгию.

**Developer response:** Мы так рады узнать, что наша игра возродила для вас приятные воспоминания! Спасибо за ваш потрясающий 5-звездочный отзыв!

### 1/5 — Have you every tested the level yourself?

*2021-08-18*

It get very hard after few levels, developer want the payer to shoot at impossible locations I am sure they don’t have the time to play and test the levels themselves. The given time to shoot arrows is very short for each level. Wasted my time playing this game

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the feedback! It's true that some levels are rather tricky and it's not easy to complete them on the first try, but if you don't give up and try a bit harder you'll definitely win the level. If you need help with any level, you can email us at support@herocraft.com. We will be glad to help you!

### 1/5 — Аааа

*2019-12-05*

Игра ломает психику !!!!!

**Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что вам не понравилась игра. Главная идея игры - это спасение тех, кто находится в беде. А еще вы можете примерить много смешных шляп и футболок. Попробуйте - это очень весело! Нам очень жаль, что вам не понравилась игра.

### 5/5 — Класс!

*2019-06-23*

Что первая часть что вторая часть, игруха топ и физика там присутствует, не понимаю тех конченных ублюдков которые обсирают игру, разработчики забейте на этих хейтеров, игра огонь!! А если вам долбаебом мешает реклама во время игры, то просто отключитесь от вай фая и играйте!!! Тупые обсоски... (сори за мат)

### 3/5 — Графа прикольная но первая версия лучше

*2019-01-10*

.

**Developer response:** Благодарим за отзыв! Не могли бы вы уточнить, чего, по вашему мнению, не хватает игре до оценки в 5 звезд?

### 1/5 — Totally Ruined

*2019-01-07*

The Ads totally ruin this game. I don't mind ads in a game if it's free, come to be expected. But when the adds pop up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME, bearing in mind you have a time limit, it really takes away the fun. I lost so many levels because of this. Stupid idea!

Also, the control is really awkward. If the bow is near the edge of the screen, it can prevent you from aiming and with enough power. It should have an optional two-finger system, much like the one employed by "Soccer Stars" by Miniclip. 

Overall, a great idea (and I loved playing the first game on my PC with a mouse on QQ international), but this version is a total letdown.

EDIT: The developer keeps replying to people saying; “sorry, but we have to have ads to keep it free, but why not try the premium version?”. Two things;

1) It’s not the fact you have ads that’s the issue, it’s that you put them IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME making the gameplay UNPLAYABLE in some levels. That’s what people are saying, you should read it closer.

2) Why would I pay for a game that basically trolls you? All the “adverts-in-The-middle-of-The-game” rubbish does is make me not want to give you any money at all. Plus the controls are not good, why don’t you address this when replying to people?

If you are going to reply to people, at least don’t just copy and paste the same garbage answer that doesn’t even address the main concerns.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately, we have no sponsors like bigger studios, so we can only lean on our loyal players who have some patience to watch these videos.
But please bear in mind that there is premium version which has no ads at all!

### 1/5 — Unspielbar durch Werbung

*2018-08-13*

Nach jedem level Werbung. Quasi unspielbar. Dann bietet doch gar nicht erst eine free Version an!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your interest in the game. Unfortunately, we can not remove the ads from the free game. But you can turn it off as soon as you make your first purchase. We apologize, if it affects your gaming experience.

### 3/5 — неиграбельно

*2018-05-23*

Куча рекламы, за которую (чтобы отключить) постоянно навязчиво просят деньги.
первая часть игры намного лучше, залипал в нее месяц и там реклама не бесила. из этой вышел через пять минут.
тут постарались сделать упор на красивую графику, а про физику игры напрочь забыли, наверно из за желания заработать много денег.

**Developer response:** Благодарим вас за отзыв и конструктивную критику. Мы примем во внимание ваши замечания.

### 1/5 — 30 sek. Werbung nach jedem 2. spiel

*2018-05-07*

5 sek Werbungen die man wegklicken kann sind ja noch ok, und für 30 sek Werbungen bekommt man bei anderen spielen wenigstens was. Dadurch kommt der Spielspaß erst gar nicht zustande

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, but, unfortunately, we cannot remove the ads from the free version of this game. We really hope for your understanding.

### 1/5 — Ноль

*2017-11-26*

Это самое печальное что я видел! Удаляю! Совет не качайте!

**Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что наша игра вам так не понравилась.
