### 1/5 — Game is good, ads are awful

*2025-01-29, version 1.24.15*

Every time you press your screen you get an advert , so stupid

### 1/5 — 20s... It's the time between every ads

*2025-01-04, version 1.24.15*

You will be interrupted by ads every 20 seconds. I understand that developers need money for their work, but you are ruining your game.

### 1/5 — Literal ad every 10 seconds

*2024-12-08, version 1.24.15*

Tooooo many ads. I was on the game for 10 seconds right after downloading…. Ad. Not exaggerating. Stupid.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2024-01-27, version 1.24.10*

Every time I click off of it and I’m forced to delete and reinstall it and restart the  cause for some reason I can’t scroll or open anything the ads still work and the offline works but I can’t use the freakin game s as nymore snd im tired of deleting and reinstalling it

### 1/5 — Game freezes on load

*2024-01-10, version 1.24.10*

Great game but when I reload it it gets stuck on the picture select screen

### 2/5 — I can’t play it after closing it??

*2023-11-25, version 1.24.10*

First off, this is a fun simple game. But every time I close the app and come back to it, I can’t click anything? I try to press on everything and the only thing that will actually do anything is the ad on the bottom of the screen. I reinstalled the app and had to restart the game, then had the same problem AGAIN.

### 2/5 — Doesnt work

*2023-08-24, version 1.24.10*

The game always freezes whenever i try to open it, i used to have the game and it never did this. Please fix it because it makes the game literally unplayable because it wont even load and i have an Iphone 11 that is comepletely up to date so i know its not my phone

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-04, version 1.24.10*

Application freezes on second launch.
Can’t do anything.

### 2/5 — Ugh

*2023-07-06, version 1.24.10*

I liked it but after i close it out it just freezes. Regardless of my progress i deleted the app and redownloaded it and it happened again. Read the most recent reviews and it seems like it’s been happening for months without any updates. It’s too bad because it seems like a cool app

### 1/5 — Games broken

*2023-07-03, version 1.24.10*

After you close the app you can no longer do anything game is completely frozen

### 2/5 — Keeps Freezing

*2023-05-10, version 1.24.10*

The game is fun but every time I close it the game it freezes and wont work at all until I delete it and redownload it and this still continues after

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2023-05-06, version 1.24.10*

I cant move any more

### 4/5 — Good game but big flaw

*2023-04-03, version 1.24.10*

This is a great game, it is a good pastime and a way to relax but twice I have had to delete this app because it keeps freezing on the home page not letting me continue on other artworks.

### 1/5 — Ads Galore don’t wanna see more

*2023-01-28, version 1.24.9*

This game is more advertisement than game. You get an ad every five upgrades but you get upgrades extremely fast. The ads are longer than the gameplay you experience. Some of the ads allow you to demo them for longer than you get to idle-y paint.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-11-14, version 1.24.6*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — Do not get not worth it

*2022-10-12, version 1.24.6*

Only but if you want to be in ad heaven

### 1/5 — Ads make it terrible

*2022-09-19, version 1.24.6*

Ads are a constant pop up. I don’t mind watching something for a bonus or something, but constant forced unskippable ads are a definite no.

### 3/5 — it’s alright

*2022-06-08, version 1.24.3*

The game is fun but there is way to many ads

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Good game but the ad frequency…

*2025-02-08, version 1.24.15*

This game is very satisfying and has a solid build-up for your upgrades but the ads ruin the experience as you get thrown one literslly every 2 upgrades you buy. The game is near unplayable unless you pay to remove ads which if you did that in every idle game you played you’d probably go bankrupt

### 5/5 — Fun offline game

*2020-11-15, version 1.22.0*

This game is very satisfying and gives some cool art. It does have a lot of ads and you can easily get rid of them by playing offline or buying the 4$ no ads purchase. Other than the no ads purchase, you do not need to pay any money to play this game
