### 5/5 — Just what I like!!!

*2026-03-06, version 0.30*

To the people saying this is a clone or a rip off of VS, this game came out in June 2022 and VS was in October 2022, so what does that say?! 

You see these kind of games are on the top of my list of fav. games. 1 thing I don’t like though is you only have 1 life and I haven’t found (if there is) any extra life while playing. But that’s not enough to make it any lower than a 5⭐️, if I could I would rate it higher! Classic 8-bit style,sound,look ! It’s an awesome game! Thank You!

### 3/5 — IAP not recieved

*2026-02-15, version 0.30*

I like the game :) … but it be nice to get refunded for the items if IAP is not working.

### 2/5 — I’ve paid 99p

*2025-09-26, version 0.30*

I started to like this game so thought I’ll pay 99p to get no adverts and few extras that it promised……. What a lie that was. Still getting adverts galore. I’ve even done restore app purchase, uninstalled game to reinstall and I’m still getting the same. I wish I didn’t bother now. I know it’s 99p but paying for something you should get is beyond a joke. I doubt developers would see this seen as the game was updated 3 years ago.

### 4/5 — Eh

*2025-09-14, version 0.30*

Decent.

### 5/5 — Classic

*2025-07-31, version 0.30*

Old classic!

### 5/5 — Just what I like!!!

### 3/5 — Was fun for a minute

*2025-07-17, version 0.30*

I was looking forward to grinding my way through all the characters and figuring out all of the skill combos. I actually liked the old school 8-direction controls. 

The problem I have with the game is that I paid to remove all ads but it still played ads nearly every time for the double coins bonus after a run. I just deleted it.

### 5/5 — It Good 👍 😊

*2025-07-11, version 0.30*

It berry good 😊 
No but seriously this game is great, play it!!!!!    Thank you Devs for making it 
✌️🫶😎🤘🖖🫵👍

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2025-04-08, version 0.30*

This is one of those games that is actually fun! If you like the top down games such as smash tv, vampire survivor, this is your next game!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-02-07, version 0.30*

Fun so far
