### 1/5 — Ads and lies

*2025-07-24, version 1.2.7*

Ads after every single level, which is about every 30 seconds, then the idle rewards don’t even work, absolutely no idle gold even after upgrading multiple times

### 1/5 — ADS

*2025-05-27, version 1.2.7*

I can’t even play the game properly, it has so many ads!!!

### 1/5 — Ayo what day name 😳

*2023-06-30, version 1.2.4*

Also too much ads recommend playing offline

### 5/5 — Hi

*2023-02-16, version 1.2.4*

I love this game the only thing I want is no ads

### 1/5 — Let down my money grabbing ads.

*2022-08-20, version 1.2.2*

Basically a cool and addictive game to play between ads. 

Should be listed as advertising app with two turns of a game inbetween.

### 1/5 — Click once advert, second click advert! AVOID!

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

Literally clicked once and an advert came up, 15 secs later you can get off the advert, 2nd click another advert… Didn’t bother player the game… can’t imagine the games is any good if the developers have to reply solely on adverts… Deleted…

### 4/5 — Kinda laggy

*2022-06-02, version 1.2.2*

Please fix this glitch

Every 5-10 plays it kicks me out so please work on this glitch

 Thanks

### 4/5 — Amazing! but…

*2022-05-15, version 1.2.2*

I really really love this game. It has just the right amount of interaction without using to much decision making. I play this game every night. However I really wish the game had more environments, I’ve played through every one of them almost a million times. I also would like to see some more progression in the game instead of starting from square one every time

### 2/5 — Не загружает

*2022-03-26, version 1.1.8*

Если абновить телефон да паследнего ios то игра не загружается не магу зайти пж пафиксити

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2022-01-08, version 1.1.8*

It feels like every second a ad comes up
