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 ### 4/5 — It needs to be offline but it is addictive *2021-07-14, version 1.1.7* it’s fun but it’s a go to game if you have internet but I would love it to be offline ### 1/5 — Stop *2021-03-06, version 1.1.6* Why cant i play it offlone?!?! ### 1/5 — You can play offline *2021-02-24, version 1.1.6* You can even play offline it’s so trash you need to play with you wifi just so the game can give you ads they want you to buy the no more ads if you got money for days and you enjoy the game go ahead but if you don’t just delete it you be better off without this game ### 1/5 — Adds *2021-02-09, version 1.1.6* Way too many ads there is an add like every 10 sec very annoying and I can’t play this while I’m out and have no wifi ### 1/5 — Way to many ads *2021-01-22, version 1.1.6* I hit continue a ad if I wanted a ad I would hit double cash PLZ FIX THIS I STARTING TO HATE THIS GAME ### 1/5 — ムリ *2020-12-30, version 1.1.6* 所持金がマイナスになった ### 1/5 — Fa scifo *2020-12-24, version 1.1.6* Non si può giocare ### 1/5 — Hook and smash more like hook all the ads *2020-12-21, version 1.1.6* This has wayyyyyyy to many ads. The first Two try’s there are no ads but after that just annoying ads every two try’s and this is why none likes ads because the animations on the game looks good but when you get to download it the graphics are trash and ugly like FIX YOUR GAME 🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 dummies ### 1/5 — Ads *2020-12-08, version 1.1.6* Just ads left snd right you cant even get s break at all after every turn there is an ad so i just exit the game and go back in. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2020-12-07, version 1.1.6* The game as way to many ads I mean way to many if there wasn’t as many ads the. It would be a good game otherwise needs improvements. ### 1/5 — ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS *2020-11-17, version 1.1.6* For every 30 seconds you get in game, you spend 10-15 trying to skip through an ad. It gives you the option to watch an AD to double rewards from your last run, and EVEN IF YOU DON’T DO IT, IT SENDS YOU INTO AN AD 2/3 OF THE TIME. I understand that advertisements support the game and allow it to be free, but this is way over the top. Please don’t install this game unless you want to spend 1/2 of your time watching ads to make this random trash company even more money ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-11-15, version 1.1.6* This game requires internet and after every round there’s a ad Thast bs ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-11-13, version 1.1.6* Just. So. Many. Ads. No. Effort. Not. Worth. Your. Time. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2020-11-05, version 1.1.6* This game is a fun game to play but THERE ARE SOOO MANY ADDS. It’s rediculous!!! ### 3/5 — Please change this!! *2020-11-01, version 1.1.6* You have way to many ads in the game. There is a ad after every 2 go’s. You can at least do it after 4 try’s. The ads are annoying but what is most annoying is the internet problem. This game is just like the submarine and backflip game, you need internet for a game that doesn’t have any online features or leaderboards. Are you just trying to make sure no one is skipping out on the ads because they are so annoying. I mean you can get in the game but when you click to play it say no connection....... bruh stop being greedy. People wouldn’t have to try and go offline if you didn’t have a lot of ads. Please I am begging you, this is a good game but there is just ad and internet problems. Please fix this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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… ### 1/5 — To many ads *2022-01-08, version 1.1.8* It feels like every second a ad comes up ### 1/5 — SOLELY because of your ads I’m uninstalling *2021-12-09, version 1.1.8* I’d give you 0 stars if I could because of the OVERUSE of ads. I am deleting it because you people clearly don’t know how to make a good game. A real game don’t stop after EVERY. SINGLE. GESTURE To show an ad. For anyone reading this, save your data and don’t download this trash it’s not even a game it’s continual ads with a tiny game break. Very poor quality and not only that I do not support over greedy developers i understand you need to make some money, but you literally could dial ads back to every 5 games and it would still be more than enough. Change your crap. ### 1/5 — Game *2021-12-05, version 1.1.8* This game has to many ads like every time the line come back so you can you collect the money bam a add so frustrating I would give 0 stars if I could ### 1/5 — あまりにも酷い。 *2021-09-20, version 1.1.7* 広告の量も多いし、重複も酷い。 金稼ぎたいなら真面目にやって。 ### 1/5 — SCHLECHT 😡!!!¡¡¡ *2021-09-11, version 1.1.7* Sobald man das Spiel gestartet hat und Level eins anfangen möchte kann man es nicht weil keine Gebäude da sind man kann kein Geld verdienen!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi *2023-02-16, version 1.2.4* I love this game the only thing I want is no ads ### 5/5 — I like this game *2021-08-28, version 1.1.7* This game is fun ### 5/5 — 一起分享一下這個時候最適合我們這些天來了 *2020-10-11, version 1.1.5* 無法自拔了哇塞～終於出了就到去SSr25婰 ©o₥許多熱門遊戲都在裡面每日福利大禮包可以領取登入就送大量寶石和至尊會員讓你不用花時間去查遊戲攻略費勁心思的打怪升級穿裝備簡簡單單成為遊戲中的贏家聲音好可愛畫風也很可愛～關卡簡單也不會太難遊戲幣也不難賺不過有時候天降明明應該4消或5消的磚塊會只有3消希望可以調整一下希望可以稍微大方一點畢竟角色也不是很好抽� ### 5/5 — So BAD *2020-10-03, version 1.1.5* I use to like this gam and play it a lot I don’t mind adds but then my power went off for five hours and I decided to play th8s game but it would not work so ever since then my nana got me a hotspot for my birthday and when I tern it off for at least two seconds it just want let me play the game I gave it no rate because eit is so horrible.
