### 2/5 — Toxic Ads

*2026-06-01*

Fun game but you even when you tap next instead of the Ad bonus an Ad is still shown. 30s Ad for 10s of play is outrageous.

### 4/5 — Fun time waster

*2023-04-18, version 4.8.0*

Not a terrible way to waste time. Even on expert it is too easy to win 99% of the time. And why is it always Red#2 Purple #3 and Green #4 no matter what order I clear them in? Come on. That’s just lazy. I need my victory to mean something!!😛

### 4/5 — Conseil

*2023-01-01*

Sympa mais TROP DE PUB
mettez vous en mode avion

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-04-05, version 4.5.1*

You get bombarded with an incredible and unreasonable amount of ads in hopes that you’ll pay to get rid of them, only to uncover a shallow game that goes nowhere, purpose-built to make quick cash for the devs.

### 1/5 — J’ai du recommencer depuis le début

*2021-08-21*

Le jeux a crash et j’ai du recommencer

### 2/5 — Actually Good enough for the App Store

*2021-08-12*

Finally. A game on the App Store that isn’t smelly garbage and in your face all the time. Still puts lots of ads in your face. This is what doesn’t make sense. For such a simple, easy to make game, you could easily steal just as much money from 5 year olds without as much ads because then people would actually like and share your game. But there’s ads almost everywhere. At least when you first start which is when you should have the least ads in your face. None at all, actually. TLDR: too many ads for such a cheap game, although it is fun

### 1/5 — red

*2021-07-31, version 4.3.2*

red enemies are designed not to attack you. too many ads.

### 4/5 — Needs more updates

*2021-07-09*

I’m on level 389 and I only see the same levels repeat. And I already unlocked every skin in the game before level 40, I’m just saying there should be some more unique characters and levels. Instead of the same thing over and over again.
It would also be nice if the “memory game” was actually a memory game, because it’s not. For it to be a memory game it would need to show the cards first, flip them, and make you match the cards using your memory. I’m looking forward for an update since i have been playing this game for over a year now. Thank you for reading.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-07-01, version 4.3.1*

Ads at the end of every level!

### 1/5 — Revenue generator

*2021-06-20, version 4.3.1*

Old concept, poorly executed, lots of ads. It's not a game, it's a revenue generator.

### 3/5 — Good time waster, needs some improvements

*2021-06-19*

First of all, the concept is fun. It’s a good time waster that I play all the time here and there (500+ levels into it). However, the game has some faults.

1. An ad after every single level is just too much. You’ll beat a level, watch an ad, then get lucky and beat the next level in 30 seconds, and have to watch another ad! I typically only play one level at a time now because it’s just annoying having to watch an ad every single time.

2. The AI needs improvements. I ramped up the difficulty to the max after a couple days, and I still easily win about 80-90% of the time.

3. Player skins are only unlockable by watching ads at a certain point. Once you unlock a handful by buying with the in-game currency, you can only get them by watching ads. I haven’t unlocked a skin in about 400 levels because I refuse to watch the ads just for a skin. I don’t even use the skins, so it’s not a big deal, but it’s just weird to have a huge stockpile of money and literally nothing to use it for because you just don’t need it after a certain point.

4. I haven’t gotten the top reward from the chests. Ever. You collect keys in levels and once you get three you can open three chests and try to get the “top reward” (sometimes a skin). I’ve never gotten the top reward and I’m 500+ levels into the game. I’m not sure if I’m just really unlucky but I must’ve opened 50+ chests by now so…

Overall it’s a decent game, the concept is solid, just some quirks that make it annoying sometimes. If these things were fixed and some updates to the game happened to make it go a little deeper, it would be a really great game.

### 1/5 — ㅤ

### 1/5 — Unplayable with ads

*2021-05-09*

Tried it and ads caused crashes, lost progress. Ads also very long for such a simple game. No obvious way to select level either.

### 1/5 — Fake reviews, dead game

*2021-03-30*

Very low quality game. Reviews are mostly fake

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2025-04-07, version 4.8.0*

I can’t get past the tutorial because the game keeps glitching and not letting me make any moves

### 1/5 — unfair

*2024-01-06*

FAIR? FAIR? ok what

why does the enemy start with 60
AND I START WITH 30
ON EASY
ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE 
F U GAME DEVELOPERS

### 1/5 — E

*2022-05-07, version 4.5.1*

To much adds 😡

### 1/5 — Purchased game yet still ads

*2022-04-30, version 4.5.1*

I purchased this game on my previous phone yet no matter how many times I press restore purchases it does nothing.

### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads

*2022-03-21, version 4.5.1*

Game seems fun. Cannot seem to buy version with no ads.  Constant ads makes game unplayable.

### 1/5 — Too Difficult

*2022-03-10*

Honestly, when something is on easy mode, I want to play to win. If I want a challenge I’ll engage expert mode.

### 1/5 — Extrem einfach

*2022-02-25*

Es geht nur um die Werbung. Die Level sind Erbärmlichkeit.

### 1/5 — Don’t get what you pay for. Scam

*2022-01-06, version 4.5.0*

I purchased no ads MONTHS ago. 
My card was charged so I know It’s paid for. 
 Yet it’s literally been months and I still haven’t gotten the “no ads” that I was charged for. 
 It’s an interesting way for the game developers to run a scam to say the least… $3.99 at a time for something you’ll never receive and no way to contact them outside of these reviews they’ll never give a second glance to while enough people are getting ripped off to pad their pockets rather nicely.
Clever con artists, shame that’s all these scum are.

### 1/5 — Je me suis fait arnaquer

*2021-10-24*

Le jeu en lui même est bien. Toutefois je ne met qu’une étoile car ce jeu m’a clairement arnaqué. J’ai payer pour supprimer la publicité mais j’ai toujours les publicités. C’est pourquoi je n’ai mis qu’une étoile. Car je trouve cela honteux (surtout que cette option coûte quand même 4€)

### 1/5 — Ads

*2021-09-17, version 4.3.2*

Some ads have no way to X out of. You have to close the game and reopen. Ridiculous

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-12-08*

Fun fun fun and fun pls get it

### 5/5 — Cool game, ads remain after paying.

*2022-08-23*

The core game is fun! Removing 1 star for keeping ads after paying and putting it just beside the next level so that you fat thumb long ads. Another star for the forced memory game in between level.

### 5/5 — MicroWars

*2021-03-17, version 4.1.1*

For some reason I really love it

### 5/5 — A game I was looking for

*2021-03-11*

This game is great and just what I was looking for. There maybe many complaints about the ads but that’s normal for a mobile game but if there’s anything I would like is for you to refund or fix the people’s no ads purchases. Also hope everyone is doing well and try to stay on the bright side 😁
