### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-05-01, version 1.24.21*

This is a great game to play

### 1/5 — DUMB🤬😡🥵 😒😞

*2026-01-10, version 1.24.18*

Vote 1 star

### 1/5 — Are you insane?

*2025-12-28, version 1.24.18*

First 30 seconds of the game and already three push ads, more ads than gameplay hahaha , greedy on the finest level.

### 1/5 — Ads every 20s

*2025-12-27, version 1.24.18*

Cool idea but lol, can’t play for literally 30s without a 1mn ad. This is more ad watching than game.

### 1/5 — Literally get an ad every time I I touch the screen

*2025-12-02, version 1.24.18*

Not only it has there been an ad every time I touch a single button on the screen, but it’s the really stupid kind of ads that cuts out whatever you’re listening to or pause your video.

### 1/5 — The whole game is just ads

*2025-09-29, version 1.24.18*

I literally just downloaded this but as soon as I opened the app there was an ad. I hadn’t even played anything yet. Then I played for a second and another ad popped up. I timed it. After one 30 second ad (no option to skip) ended, I played for 34 seconds before the next ad began.

### 1/5 — FAR TO MANY ADs

*2025-09-22, version 1.24.18*

i get you have to get your money but I didn’t even count 30 seconds between ads on a app you constantly tap on. Get a grip

### 1/5 — Typical advert spam

*2025-07-12, version 1.24.17*

Every few upgrades it plays a forced advert, as apposed to typical idle games that offer an advert to buy upgrades quickly, this one just throws them at you every 3 upgrades or so. After about 5 in 3 minutes I’ve un installed. Literally unplayable

### 1/5 — Absurd amount of ads

*2025-05-31, version 1.24.16*

Only had the game open for 20 seconds before an ad played.  Less than a minute after that, another ad.  Totally unplayable

### 1/5 — Bombarded with Ads

*2025-05-29, version 1.24.16*

It constantly forces you to watch ads—and not even to get in-game bonuses of any kind. Utter garbage.
