### 1/5 — GIVE US OUR GAME BACK

*2022-05-26, version 1.4.01*

The fact that you have to play this version of the game because they supposedly “updated” the first game is infuriating. Yes I do love the old art style in this game(the reason I fell in love with the first game) and I just wish they brought back the old version in the first game. I fell in love with the first game, the emotion on the blobs (aka friends) was amazing, they went gloomy when you shoot a friend, and they became happy when they had enough people to leave the wretched place. I played the game for so long because I wanted everyone to go home safe yet I failed many times. But in the new version of the first game you have to tap the shoot button not tap on the enemies. There would be times where the friend and the enemy were so close to each other you would either lose a friend or shot a friend with would end up with no new friends or lose a friend. It was great as it was… it never needed an update…please just give us our game back😔.

### 4/5 — Almost as good as the original

*2024-01-12, version 1.4.01*

After they gutted the first game, this is by far the better option for fans of the gameplay they removed.

### 4/5 — Raining Death

*2023-10-19, version 1.4.01*

This game grew on me in 
5 minutes once I figured out the golden rule! 
Don’t kill the guys that look 
like you…haaha. 
Then the dollars start rolling in 
as monster spiders start rolling out!
$’s for new guns, utilities, etc. make the game fun but it does get challenging at later waves!

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2016-11-25*

Hopeless 2 is good like this game. I have tried the original and it's ok, I haven't tried the soccer one. Overall an ok company, but some false advertisements.

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2015-12-02, version 1.4.01*

Tip 1
Don't scratch nose while playing this.

### 4/5 — Simple, fun

*2014-05-29, version 1.1.00*

Not sure how the early warning system works, or how to get extra blobs through play.

### 4/5 — Very interesting

*2014-05-24, version 1.1.00*

This is a very weird game. It's fun, but I've never sen anything quite like it. 
I recommend it. 
Oh, and when it says don't let the blobs get scared it means if you miss too much they kill themselves
And first review

### 4/5 — It's so fun

*2014-05-24, version 1.1.00*

Very excited 
But the monster always appear when I eliminating

### 5/5 — I love it but…

*2024-12-29, version 1.5.0*

I love the game and everything about it but it gave me PTSD from blowing my fellow blobs head off

### 5/5 — I love the Hopeless survival games.

*2024-03-05, version 1.4.01*

This is my favourite one out of the series and me and my friend play and compete on it a lot. I wish it was still updated.

### 5/5 — Goty lol

*2023-06-01, version 1.4.01*

Oddly adrenaline rushing at times and the game definitely trains reaction time this could help with other games too

*2022-02-22, version 1.4.01*

Epic

### 5/5 — FYI

*2021-11-30, version 1.4.01*

If you happen to have the original hopeless downloaded you can still play it I found out

### 5/5 — The better version of hopeless

*2021-10-30, version 1.4.01*

It’s the only way to play old hopeless which is kinda sad what happened to the first,however this version is amazing,especially how it gets more and more intense as you tap as fast as you can to stop the actual monsters (ahem hopeless),either way amazing game

### 5/5 — So amazing

*2021-09-18, version 1.4.01*

I have most of the series also I’m new got any tips, cool game

### 5/5 — Glad I can play something close to the original

*2021-07-27, version 1.4.01*

Was really sad when I tried to download the first game and it was nothing like before, I wish there was an “original mode” that you could do, but this is good anyways, thanks

### 5/5 — Enjoyable but where’s the original

*2021-06-10, version 1.4.01*

I love hopeless but I really want to play the original again

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2021-02-28, version 1.4.01*

This is an amazing game. It hyped me up a lot when monsters start to pour in. I’m very good at this, and I love it :D
