### 4/5 — No Restore Purchase Button?

*2024-01-22*

I bought the no ad upgrade before and had to delete the game because of storage issues. I got the game back and I keep seeing ads, and keep getting the offer for the no ad upgrade, but after it goes away, I can’t try to stop the ads. Please make sure there is some way to restore purchases.

### 3/5 — Very good game! But…

*2023-03-27*

There are way too many PaytoWin offers and ads inside the game, every time I level up it gives me a ad which just leads me to click that button for the 2x more anyway. 
If you just put a few less ad’s I would download this again.

### 1/5 — ad central

*2023-01-25, version 1.6.1*

way too many ads just to play

### 1/5 — Too many ads dont download

*2022-12-25, version 1.6.1*

Another game with a ad every other second

### 5/5 — Tyl

*2022-11-24, version 1.6.1*

It’s a good game I downloaded this yesterday it’s amazing but I bet if I go anymore I’m gonna have to pay

### 3/5 — Too many

*2022-10-25, version 1.6.1*

They’re are way too many ads it feels like every 2 clicks there’s a 30 sec ad plus the ads every single time you level up and I understand that you need ads but that’s too many ads not enough play time

### 1/5 — Too much ads bro

*2022-08-26, version 1.6.1*

Every 10 second I get smacked with a commercial.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2022-08-25, version 1.6.1*

Have to keep closing the app do build up anything there also needs to be an option for no adds app keeps freezing up also needs to be fixed

### 1/5 — Constant forced ads

*2022-08-20, version 1.6.1*

Constant forced ads

### 4/5 — Good game but…

*2022-08-11, version 1.6.1*

The game is really fun to play, but I bought the no ads promo and my money got taken and still ads pop up.
