It advertised no adds but every now and then there’s an “add break”. I understand you have to make money somehow but don’t say there are no adds and then show adds. ### 3/5 — Adds *2023-03-25, version 2.1.9* Lies about no adds in game ### 4/5 — Ads *2023-03-21, version 2.1.8* I hate ads and bugs (there's ads ### 2/5 — Could be better *2023-03-06, version 2.1.4* I see an ad of this game saying no ads so I downloaded it… then 5 mins later I get a ad but other than that it’s a good game ### 1/5 — Liars *2023-03-04, version 2.1.4* Boring game way to many ads even though it Said there were none horrible graphics and bad animations ### 1/5 — Broken game *2023-03-03, version 2.1.2* The games simple, good short term burst of fun, no strategy involved. Which I like. But there’s plenty of ads to be annoying but fewer then some! You can at least unlock free worthwhile goodies through watching ads. Here’s the real dilemma! The games broken! There’s no sound. I get to level 27 and all of a sudden I’m locked at a level 12 and can’t do anything. Can’t even access settings. What a joke! ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-03-02, version 2.1.2* If you can get past the constant ads after every round, you get a few hours of mediocre enjoyment till the game reaches a breaking point where you can’t continue. ### 2/5 — There’s a reason *2023-03-02, version 2.1.2* The game stopped letting me play. I got to level 12 than I couldn’t play any more. They need to fix. ### 1/5 — Game WAS fun… *2023-03-01, version 2.1.2* Game was great up until level 12 when it stopped working all together. Fail. A shame too, I was enjoying this. ### 2/5 — Lies *2023-03-01, version 2.1.2* The reason I gave it 2 stars is bc false advertising and the more you play the more boring it gets ### 2/5 — Good at first *2023-02-28, version 2.1.2* Game was fun but at level 12 it wouldn’t let me launch the hooks ### 1/5 — Help *2023-02-28, version 2.1.2* I like this game but my game has messed and no cars will load I don’t want to delete because I want to lose my progress ### 2/5 — Fun but HOT *2023-02-27* The game is enjoyable & have no issues with the gaming part, however, it heats up my phone (13 mini) very fast to a temperature no other app ever has & burns through battery charge like crazy, would love to keep playing but at this rate im worried my phone will go up in flames if i do so 🥲 ### 1/5 — Update broke *2023-02-26, version 2.1.1* Ever since they updated, the cars won’t spawn! Try to launch the hooks and nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2023-02-26, version 2.1.1* After the current update, the bottoms don’t activate anything. Except for the ones that will show ads. The throw button disappears and nothing happens. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m a little freaked out *2026-07-04, version 4.3.0* The app asked for my location ### 1/5 — Addssssss *2026-06-30, version 4.3.0* Way too many freaking ads you better improve Merge Hooks cause if you don’t, I am not ever going to play your game again and I hate that and if I have to deal with one more ad, I’m deleting it and never playing it again cause it sucks when it has adds every time after you’re done doing a game, it starts giving you a single ad every game after it’s done for me. I’m starting to get angry at it. ### 1/5 — Not work *2026-06-09, version 4.3.0* Not work ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-08-23, version 3.1.6* For ads that don’t give me a reward I can exit out of for ads I want a bonus hook it won’t exit out of. Pretty bogus to me ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-04-02, version 2.1.12* Told me no ads but there’s ads ### 1/5 — False advertising! *2023-03-27, version 2.1.9* You said it did not have adds! AND YET IM STILL HAVING TO SEE THEM! This is illegal. ### 1/5 — They lied about the ads in the game *2023-03-25, version 2.1.9* The ad I watched had no ads at the start and when I downloaded and played the game these ad breaks made me watch ads constantly. ### 1/5 — Ad break….. *2023-03-15, version 2.1.6* I do not need a 30 second ad break after ten seconds of game play I am deleting the app because of this I would be more understanding if you spaced the ads out a little you need to make money to I understand that but you can easily watch 120 ads within a hour playing this game ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-03-12, version 2.1.6* The no ads is cap you are a liar ### 1/5 — No adds purchasable option missing *2023-03-09, version 2.1.4* There is no option for me to dispose of ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is cool *2023-02-25, version 2.1.1* . ### 5/5 — Good *2023-02-24, version 2.1.1* Good ### 5/5 — don’t get *2023-02-11, version 1.8.5* the only reason i’m doin 5 star is so people can see this it says no ads on the add but there’s ads >:( ### 5/5 — Stop it *2023-01-30, version 1.7.1* They don’t start me on level 12 what are y’all talking about? ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-01-25, version 1.7* ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😞🤩 ### 5/5 — Fun!!!! *2023-01-22, version 1.5* I like the game a the fact adds are not common like those bad reviews saying they get adds a lot it’s just a game with adds that’s all I got to say ### 4/5 — It’s okay…but is beatable *2024-10-14, version 3.1.6* This game is pretty addictive and fun but if you spend about 4-6 hours grinding away you will eventually hit a level 35 hook (spoiler) and the end. Thats the highest hook and then it’s just boring. They’re are extra challenges but they’re super easy to beat and theres only 9. This game would be better if it didn’t take 6 hours to beat ### 4/5 — I had no problem with this game. *2023-05-26, version 2.1.20* To whoever this may concern Yes, it does have advertisements. But it’s no what you think, 1: the advertisements are not frequent 2. You get a reward after the advertisement 3: they will give you a warning before give you it Also, this is fun in the beginning, but becomes a bit less fun overtime. There is not much more I can say about this game. hopefully this will help people decide, just know that overall I had an great experience… ### 4/5 — just one or two things *2023-03-28, version 2.1.9* it’s not like the commercial I saw while playing a other game it looked fun but your hand can’t control the hook and it’s not that fun and the second thing Is I want no commercials so it’s less annoying too! ### 4/5 — Update *2023-03-27, version 2.1.9* Update the how many levels of hooks you can buy. Once you finish level 10 hook there is no point in having cash. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
