### 1/5 — No longer fun!!

*2026-08-18, version 2.8.0*

This game was popular for a a reason. No ads, no extra stuff you needed to win. Just Buddy and the money you get when hurting him. Now…it’s gems, currencies, quests, sales, premium buttons, daily rewards and so many dumb things to where it literally filled up the whole screen! I understand that the ads are there to keep the game free but what about the other stuff??? Unnecessary stuff! I want to choose to pay for an ad free gameplay but I still have to get bombarded with all those others money grabs?? RIDICULOUS!

### 1/5 — Constant ads

*2026-08-18, version 2.8.0*

You kill one buddy and get around 3 ads, unless you pay an outrageous amount of money for no ads, which still shows ads
