I’m sure the game could be fun if you weren’t stuck watching 5 minutes of adds for every 20 seconds of game. (Maybe even fun enough to spend money on.) ### 3/5 — To many ADS *2022-07-11, version 0.19.1160* Every time you finish a tower an AD pops up it supper annoying but overall the game is not to bad. ### 3/5 — Fun….ish *2022-06-27, version 0.19.1089* Fun for 2.99, but when you hit a certain level the game essentially resets. You don’t get greater rewards or harder puzzles. But if a bummer. ### 2/5 — Too much adds *2022-06-14, version 0.19.1089* I play a 15 second dual and then a 30second add pops up and that is very annoying that’s why I gave it this rating. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-05-27, version 0.19.1089* Game is mostly advertisements. Extremely basic “gameplay” is not enough to redeem this game. Not worth your time, in my opinion. ### 2/5 — It is what the ads show but too many ads *2022-05-06, version 0.19.1089* Literally after every single level there’s an ad it’s so annoying would not recommend unless you purchased no ads. ### 3/5 — Music *2022-04-14, version 0.19.1089* No option to turn off sounds ### 2/5 — Ads galore *2022-04-05, version 0.19.1089* There are way to many ads. I expect some adds but this is crazy an add after every little thing. Give me a break. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2022-04-04, version 0.19.1089* ads after every cleared level And the levels get beat pretty quickly ### 3/5 — Beware of music *2022-03-27, version 0.19.1089* You can finally play the game from the ads but you can’t turn off the annoying horn once you beat a level ### 2/5 — To many ads *2022-03-19, version 0.19.1089* You are going to watch more ads then what are you going to play the game. ### 3/5 — Good game—new bug since last “bug fix” *2022-03-18, version 0.19.1089* I agree with other reviewers that this game is as advertised—one of only a few that actually allows you to play and beat the levels without having to buy or do something like that. However, in the last few days it keeps kicking me out in the middle of the game and then losing. ### 2/5 — Download if you like ads *2022-01-26, version 0.18.865* This game gives an ad after every single level. It’s annoying and stupid. The ad for the game does show the actual game but the ads ruin it ### 1/5 — Fix the glitch *2022-01-23, version 0.18.850* there must be some sort of glitch because it won't work?? i hope it can get fixed soon so i can try the game to begin with because i don't even know how good it is. I open up the game and it's just a black screen exact for the exception of seeing the coins but i can't interact with anything ### 1/5 — If you want people to play you game fix it *2022-01-23, version 0.18.850* It wouldn’t even let me play I’d open the app and just get a black screen with a coin icon in the top right corner ### 1/5 — I can’t believe this *2022-01-22, version 0.18.850* The app is a disappointment soon as I clicked on the app I saw a black screen. Some will say it’s probably running slow or it’s a Wi-Fi problem but NO I waited 2-3 minutes and saw nothing highly disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-11-07, version 0.19.1160* Paid a few bucks for no ads just to get unskippable ads every now and again, I’d like a refund please and I’m deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-10-14, version 0.19.1160* This is a scam app similar to the rest of these types of apps. Basically an ad app that you can play 1-2 seconds then force to watch 1 minute ads. It is a dead loop. You either have to pay for no ad or you can’t play. So basically the BEST strategy for these developers/companies is to simply never download their app and let them find a real job. Hope you see what I say. ### 1/5 — Resets at 100 *2022-07-29, version 0.19.1160* Like all mobile games like this I turned cellular off and played the game off of WiFi so the ads were no problem for me but the game only has 100 real levels and then it just resets and goes back to level 1 at 100 I wouldn’t think it would be that hard to make more levels but apparently so. ### 1/5 — All ads *2022-06-28, version 0.19.1089* You barely get to play and you’re stuck waiting through 30 to 60 seconds of ads. I played for 5 seconds at the most then had to wait forever to play for just a few seconds. Not enjoyable. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — An ad after every level *2022-06-26, version 0.19.1089* It’s just an ad fest. Level one done? Ads. Level two, more ads. Level three, more of the same. Some times it’s more than one ad as well. Boring! ### 1/5 — Horribly simple *2022-05-14, version 0.19.1089* This game is so basic. With all the advertising I saw for this game I thought I would try it out. I thought it might give a mental math challenge but it does not. Literally nothing like the advertisements you are seeing a new the game is boring. Also the ads are way over used. I get a free version needs ads to make money but the game play is literally stopped for an ad every time you do anything in the game. Would not recommend for anyone. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-03-21, version 0.19.1089* More time watching ads than actually playing ### 1/5 — An ad after EVERY LEVEL *2022-02-09, version 0.18.1020* Seriously guys? An ad after EVERY LEVEL?! I just started the game since it looked fun and brainless and couldn’t even get pass the first few levels. I’m ok with making us watch an ad for a reward or speed-ups or ever every few levels? But at the start of the game? Seriously? You’re starting off with an ad to show people what they’re expecting? Not even trying to get us hooked and then throwing ads? Deleted and I suggest you do the same. 0 stars if I could. Negative would be more accurate. Sheesh. ### 1/5 — Black Screen *2022-02-01, version 0.18.865* I’m not sure if this is just happening for me, but I tried to load into the game for the first time and every time all I get is a blank black screen with a little sidebar in the corner showing 300 coins ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-01-23, version 0.18.850* downloaded the app & the screen was all black when i opened it, only showed that i had 300 coins at the top right corner which i don’t understand how but anyways. After i had closed it out multiple times I deleted & re downloaded it. Same thing I can’t even get a chance to play it once ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-03-30, version 0.19.1089* Need more games like this thanks ### 5/5 — Easy to pass the time *2022-03-23, version 0.19.1089* You can’t just help yourself ### 5/5 — The game *2021-12-24, version 0.18.1* I love that this game is not clickbait thank you ### 5/5 — FINALLY ITS NOT A SCAM *2021-12-07, version 0.17* For the first time ever it’s actually the game and not some random clickbate game. The ad actually shows the real game and the game is kinda fun. And for a plus the ad wasn’t acting brain dead and actually did the level so thank you developers. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-11-24, version 0.17* Game is actually like they advertise. Going to buy the advertisement free when I can. Easy game play :-) ### 5/5 — There are so many Ads that look like this but aren’t *2021-11-22, version 0.17* It’s finally not a ripoff ### 5/5 — Finally!! *2021-07-15, version 0.10* Finally! This type of game is in so many game ads, and finally it exists!! It’s a little buggy, but I’m so happy to finally enjoy this mechanic!! ### 4/5 — Ok *2022-04-22, version 0.19.1089* I got this game yesterday. This morning I got to level 100. After that the levels just repeat. Literally. Overall it’s a fun game though Also helpful hint: You can turn if adds by turning on airplane mode. This works with any app ### 4/5 — The ads tho *2022-02-08, version 0.18.963* I mean the ads come on dude this had potential this game is really not bad except for the ads and the ads just ruin the game ### 4/5 — Fun game but too many ads *2022-01-07, version 0.19* So the game is really fun but it has too many adds but unlike most games you can skip them at 5 seconds in but every time you beat a level a add pops up which is really annoying so it’s fun recommend it but there is a lot of ads --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
