### 5/5 — Ok

*2024-11-22, version 2.4.282*

Mặc dù quảng cáo nhiều nhưng game ok nha

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-06-15, version 1.12*

Should be illegal with the amount of ads you get

### 5/5 — Sjajno

*2023-06-02, version 1.12*

Odlična igrica za razvijanje brzine i spretnosti.

### 1/5 — Game so horrible it’s my first review

*2023-06-01, version 1.12*

This game has wayyy to many adds.
I wouldn’t play this game even if I got paid again.
The worst part is each time you get an add, you either have to watch it for a reward, or not and watch MOSTLY skippable adds.
Kill a few enemies- an add
Collect a few gems- Add
Killing a mini boss- add
Killing a boss- add
Upgrading you defense- add
End of level- add
Do not play this game

### 1/5 — Way too many ads and soo many bugs

*2023-05-30, version 1.12*

Too many ads that you can’t opt out of. Each ad runs 30 seconds and there’s atleast 10 you have to see per level. Glitches a lot and you loose all your work on the level

### 1/5 — Not worth the ads

*2023-05-21, version 1.12*

The game would be ok but it is so ad ridden it destroys any sense of actually playing the game. They make the levels long then give you an arbitrary “accomplishment” to “reward” you and if you deny watching an ad for the reward, you get an ad anyways. You’ll play for a minute before another ad. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — 広告押し付けゲームの決定版

*2023-05-18, version 1.12*

無料で遊べることは重要かと思いますが、プレイヤーにメリットのある広告の入れ方をして欲しいと願います。 ステージ途中に突如報酬が現れますが、拒否権が無く問答無用で広告を見なければならないのがとにかく理解できません。この手法は相当悪質かと思いますがいかがでしょうか。
1ステージに何回「報酬」と銘打ったとにかくくだらなく不愉快なゴミが踊り狂うライブ配信アプリの広告を見せつけられますか？
仕方なくプレイする理由がありますので頑張りますが、広告を消すために600円？も支払うのは狂気の沙汰です。

### 1/5 — 広告多すぎます

*2023-05-13, version 1.12*

プレイしている時間よりも広告が流れている時間の方が長いです。1ステージで何回見せられるんだってくらい見せられます。

### 2/5 — Basic concept is ok but overall it’s monotonous

*2023-04-18, version 1.12*

For the first few levels I found the game reasonably entertaining but once I’d mastered the basics it just became monotonous. I gave up around level 50 as there was very little skill needed, just constant button pressing. I collected a lot of diamonds but never found out what I could do with them. I used very few of the helps, mostly to try to speed things along, but I would have passed most levels without them and I don’t even know what some of them did. The adverts were endless so eventually I paid to get rid of them but the screen for the ad still comes up and you have to close it (more button pressing). I also never worked out what purpose the challenges served. It’s a shame because I did think the basics made a good game but there’s just not enough variety.

### 1/5 — 広告多すぎる

*2023-04-07, version 1.12*

1ゲームに5回ぐらい広告でてきて多すぎる
すぐ消しました
