### 5/5 — Clean and Simple

*2026-08-22*

Perfect hangman game, free and no adds.

### 2/5 — IM A LLAMA

*2015-07-21*

Do not get to many adds you can barely get to 10 without a add popping up making it kill yourself

### 2/5 — Enttäuscht

*2015-06-21*

Man kann das Spiel so gut wie nie zu Ende spielen weil dann so eine Werbung kommt und dann verliert man. :( während dem Spiel kann man noch nicht mal auf Pause drücken

### 2/5 — Ads

*2015-06-13*

Why so many ads? I'll be in the middle of a game and I can tell I didn't die but then an app pops up and I die! Get rid of the ads!

### 1/5 — Ok

*2015-04-08*

Das Spiel selbst Ist in Ordnung, die ganze Werbung ist Extrem nervig!

### 3/5 — Ads Here, Ads There

*2015-03-15*

This game is very fun and keeps me busy. However those darn ads keep popping up. I can live with ads before and after my run, but when they pop up in the middle of the game, it bugs me. Every run I try to beat my high score, but I cannot go further than 10, with out an ad coming up. I did delete this game, and found a better ring game to play. This game must get better, especially with all its competition.

### 1/5 — Ads
