But after seeing the 20th ad I just delete the game and play something else with less ads. ### 1/5 — One of the worst merge games. *2021-02-07, version 1.0.6* It took a while to hit level 18 gun which now cost me 5 billion coins a click, a 30 second ad will only pay out 300m, I waited 2 days, came back to only being able to click twice and poop no more coins. Guns cost to much, don’t make enough coins, ads don’t pay enough to get 1 click in. I’m deleting and moving on. ### 1/5 — Way to many ads *2021-02-03, version 1.0.6* Title ### 1/5 — Fun for a few days *2021-01-25, version 1.0.6* This game has almost no content, or further progression. You can easily unlock every gun in about two weeks, and fully upgrade your survivor even faster. The days (levels) just keep going on, and on with no new enemies or, places. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Another ad farmer *2021-01-04, version 1.0.6* Title. Just another ad farmer you can’t even play offline ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads *2020-12-25, version 1.0.6* Random pop up 30 second ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads!! *2020-12-23, version 1.0.6* I can’t even tell if I enjoy this game or not since I only get 10 seconds of play before I have to watch another 30 second ad. It’s annoying and makes the game unable to be enjoyed. ### 1/5 — Way to annoying *2020-12-12, version 1.0.6* Why does it scream the left for dead “here they come” each wave and I turn of sound and don’t even get music as it’s a general “sound” slider why don’t you just have a setting to turn the annoying “here they come” off like yeah we know their coming why are you shouting it when there’s no one else but you? Like just remove it I played for like a minute and just deleted it as it’s the most obnoxious thing in the world ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2020-11-09, version 1.0.6* I was playing and it was sorta fun, then a unskipable 30 sec ad pops up, watched through then not long after another unskippable 30 sec ad, this game is full of them ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-11-05, version 1.0.6* Trash ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2021-05-04, version 1.1.1* Very easy and a fun time waster, game basically plays itself after you get strong enough guns. My only suggestion would be to add more weapons or add an upgrade system for guns instead of just making the next gun the best no mater what. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-12-23, version 1.0.6* This game is great ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-10-11, version 1.0.5* Good! ### 4/5 — Loved it *2020-09-06, version 1.0.4* Is an amazing game and it doesn’t ask you for money to advance further it would be a 5 star but idk it need more guns once you hit 50 it’s pretty much over ### 4/5 — Fun but could be better *2020-08-11, version 1.0.4* This was a fun game, so fun i beat it in less than 24 hours. The ads are a thing, but at least they are 30 seconds. I have plenty of ideas for expansion and to make the experience that much more enjoyable, as well as maybe more profit for the game. There’s no way to report anything to the devs though. It’s just sound off or on in settings. I love phone games and I’m quite at them, so it’s a shame to see one with lots of potential only go so far. ### 3/5 — Oddly addicting game *2021-05-03, version 1.1.1* My only gripe with this game is that I am stuck on day 166. The abhorrent never comes and I can only replay to that point. Looks like a bug, or maybe that’s the end of levels?? ### 3/5 — Fun but short...and the ads 🙄 *2021-03-23, version 1.1.0* Beat this game is 24 hours or so...it’s fun and easy. Expand the game more and I’ll update my review! Also, holy efffff the ads are insufferable ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2020-10-29, version 1.0.6* Game itself is fairly simple and has potential. Some of the mechanics are a little choppy, and everything is an ad opportunity. ### 3/5 — Hmmmm *2020-09-08, version 1.0.4* I like the concept but I can’t even play it, I keep gettin a “union api error” message then it just closes out ### 2/5 — Fun Game But... *2020-08-03, version 1.0.2* Fun merge game but there are way too many ads. I find myself spending more time watching ads than playing the game. Please! Add a no ad or reduced ad option! Otherwise a great little game, thumbs up. Also a suggestion: A community/multiplayer component such as leaderboards. To give the player competition and a goal to achieve. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
