### 4/5 — MINION RUSH HAS A NEW UPDATE?

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

so basically, I sold the new profile picture of minion Rush. It was minions of monsters, but I thought I always thought minions and monsters already came out so and ended already. Plus they’re making a new update plus I’ve been. this on their iPad a lot for a long time ago plus I love this game so much. This is so nostalgic thank you universal pictures and Craig and universal pictures which is games soft I love this game. Keep making games like this if this game ever dies, make a sequel to this game.

### 2/5 — What has this game become

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

Now, I’m not one the most og players, but I’ve played at this games peak and I loved it. Endless rush was perfect, the missions were perfect, and the UI and gameplay was so simple a baby could play the game. This is back in like 2019 (like I said not that og). But as of 2026 and coming back to this game, I’m immediately hit with bright colors, ads, and “claim rewards” stuff all over my screen. The UI is so much more complicated, and the gameplay is horrid. I can’t even focus on my minion running with so many progress bars of random stuff that make no benefit to the gameplay. This what I wanna say: The game has basically been turned into another game that’s suited for IPad kids with 0 attention spans. Please bring back what was loved about this game, the simple gameplay, mechanics, and UI. Thank you

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

I love to play it while I’m watching my favorite TV shows, it’s perfect when you’re bored and the brand new update for the minions monsters is awesome. I love it. Definitely not my favorite game but awesome for what it is.

### 3/5 — Game keeps going buffering for too long

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

I do like the game, but unfortunately, whenever I try to press the button buttons, it keeps on buffering for a long time, including the ads, which is too much. I would like to say if you could fix those glitching issues which keeps me refreshing the app and it makes me lose my progress.

### 4/5 — New game?

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

The game feels so much better now is fun to play is just I think they remove more than half the maps

### 4/5 — Love it but also annoyed

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

Minion rush I love you sososo much!! Rlly my favorite game but it’s been SO laggy recently :(( I play really good then suddenly the map isn’t fully loaded and it makes me refresh so I don’t see anything or another instance is, if I do an ad for a revive, it doesn’t fully load or the game doesn’t load and it loses all my progress. It’s frustrating especially with the lost tapes event happening.

### 2/5 — Not as good as it was when I was like 9

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

Better the older version

### 2/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

I sucks the new day is at 8:00pm and if you get on before you collect rewards. Ridiculous adds.

### 3/5 — Bring back the beach map permanently!!

*2026-08-29, version 13.3.0*

I found this game about a month ago, having used to play in 2016, I thought it was really nostalgic to me. After downloading the app, I reached many levels and then realised we can’t get the original beach map anymore with the funny faces minion. Why is that? I miss it, BRING BACK BEACH MAP

### 3/5 — Should never have downloaded

*2026-08-29, version 13.3.0*

I made a big mistake saying yes to the notifications I got three notifications at 2 AM

### 3/5 — Одна реклама!!!!!

*2026-08-28, version 13.3.0*

В основном играю в рекламу, в саму игру вообще не играю, а так игра хорошая , поставила бы 5 звезд ,но из за рекламы тянет только на 3.

### 2/5 — Good update but a lot of problems

*2026-08-27, version 13.3.0*

Ever since the new massive update came out I have been getting a TON of ads I could just be on the menu and go from one tab to another and I get an ad also I lost my account and can’t get it back I remember I bought something to have no ads back in the old version of the game but it’s all gone and now I have to sit through ads that appear every 30 seconds also the new menu is not as good as the old one sure it’s more colorful but it’s missing a lot one good thing is how easy getting characters is now but again there are still problems that ruin the experience.

### 5/5 — Hey um it’s summer time and can you make the minion beach please I begging you thanks bye ❤️

*2026-08-25, version 13.3.0*

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-08-30, version 13.3.0*

The older one was way better! This version is bad. It keeps on just loading and loading and loading. I wish they could just change it back to the old one.

### 1/5 — No more boss fights

*2026-08-27, version 13.3.0*

??? Guys this game has gone downhill I’ve been playing since it’s been out and man come tf on…

### 1/5 — I was an OG

*2026-08-26, version 13.3.0*

This game was my life when I was a kid playing on my dads phone when I went to work with him was great, now ive re-download and the game has lost all its greatness, the outdoor map is gone and so is the beach map ( best maps ) and all cool mechanics and cutscenes are gone or have gotten worse.

### 1/5 — To. Many adds it’s a fun and well made

*2026-08-25, version 13.3.0*

There to many adds 
Like half the 6/10 of the time you be on the site is adds

### 1/5 — Looks like papoi has too many bills to pay

*2026-08-24, version 13.3.0*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — Bad to WORST

*2026-08-22, version 13.3.0*

I have been complaining internally to the help center. Last month I finally got tired of not seeing progress. That star rating (3) got a pitiful token payment but no resolution to the game’s problems. Now they’ve added the Hollywood Studio room and I can’t finish playing enough to save my scores & achievements! I’ve been dropped at least  FOUR times in 15 MINUTES. PLEASE FIX THIS GAME!!! It is the WORST it has ever been.
Again, nothing but terrible game play. I can’t even get through ONE revive successfully. THAT affects ALL my daily and weekly tasks and bonuses. PLEASE, PLEASE FIX THIS GAME. I’d give you ZERO STARS AT THIS POINT!

### 1/5 — notmyminonrush

*2026-08-20, version 13.3.0*

Let’s see what’s this new version of minion rush brings

Return of the endless runner gameplay

Retooling the alternate costumes and how to get them

Removal of a lot of locations from the old version

No boss fights in levels

Removal of some sound effects

Redone graphics and animations

Overall this is a downgrade compared to the older versions of minion rush…

Gameloft you made minions rush a worst game…

Shame

### 1/5 — Nevermind this is not the comback

*2026-08-20, version 13.3.0*

The og was better , maps were better , personality of the game was better , the skin collecting system was better , the season pass was better , abilities were better, the animation and character design had more personality , rn it feels like they are slopifying the game for kids who drool on their iPads.

please bring back the arctic ice map.

### 1/5 — This is ah now 😭✌️
