Usually we’d pay for an upgrade or something but this feels unfair ### 3/5 — Halfbrick *2025-10-21, version 4.64.00* Halfbrick+ should be free for all ### 1/5 — gutted game *2025-10-01, version 4.64.00* this game was fantastic until they removed half the features and paywalled everything else ### 4/5 — hoài niệm *2025-09-14, version 4.64.00* nhớ hồi 2018 2019 chơi game này ### 1/5 — Change and subscription *2025-08-29, version 4.64.00* Wow, I can’t believe a great game from half brick has changed the game and made a subscription. Great. I wish this game was like it used to be. ### 2/5 — Não abre *2025-08-15* O jogo simplesmente não abre 👎 **Developer response:** Olá, R4foso. Obrigado por deixar sua avaliação.

But dude a subscription for 2 bucks you have to be kidding me. I played this game a couple years ago and i lost my phone and couldn’t find it again until now. Now i have been playing games from half brick for a while none of there games used to have this. It has a lot a potential but i think that’s what’s messing it up for the most part. I honestly wanna say don’t waste your time on this game until they at least release a free version because this is bull. ### 1/5 — Are we serious. *2025-05-11, version 4.64.00* This game was so fun dude, now the developers had to ruin it by making it so you have to pay money?!? This company is so scammy :/ please don’t install this game. ### 1/5 — no lo compren *2025-05-08, version 4.64.00* yo lo compre pero aora me pide q page al mes ### 4/5 — S *2025-04-06, version 4.64.00* Shop cập nhật về bản cũ chơi từng kì tích được khong ạaaaa ### 2/5 — Atualização *2025-03-24* Atualizem o jogo para versões mais recentes, essa versão atual não tem nenhum upgrade, fica muito sem graça, parem de lançar vários jogos e foquem nos jogos de sucesso, escutem o seu público **Developer response:** Olá, Gabriel. Apreciamos muito o feedback construtivo, pelo que transmitirei o seu comentário à equipa para ajudar a orientar futuras decisões. Mais uma vez, obrigado. ### 2/5 — Downgrade *2025-03-17, version 4.64.00* I use to play this game a lot, and it was really fun, but now it’s just endless mode. No level or anything anymore. ### 1/5 — Why? *2025-03-14, version 4.64.00* I just want to know why you have a limited time on a guest This is the reason I got rid of it Just pls make a infinite time as guest and I might get it back ### 1/5 — New version stinks *2025-03-04, version 4.64.00* Bring back the 2014 version, halfbrick+ is just stupid. Have a rotten day! ### 2/5 — Weird glitch *2025-02-18, version 4.64.00* I used the guest account and when it was finished it wouldn’t let me back in to make an account ### 1/5 — Lost all in app purchases and data because of Halfbrick+ *2025-01-16, version 4.64.00* Game was great. Was being the keyword here. I had gotten some in-app purchases, but mostly things like “no-ads”. However, all of that is gone and lost. Paying a subscription for a mobile game is one of the most backward things possible. At $2 a month, it doesn’t seem bad. But that’s $24 a year. After five years, that’s $96. Doesn’t sound bad until you realize the “benefits” of this subscription was completely free before. It’s not a “pay $x-amount and get perks!” It’s “give us money to play our game that was free and is a low enough price that you will forget about it and will give us a few hundred dollars after all is said and done”. Also, the “free trial” is 60 minutes. That is just insulting. If a product is good enough, versatile enough, and has the right demand, than things like a subscription might be justifiably. This ain’t that product chief. I’d suggest boycotting Halfbricks and let them either reverse this, or burn in bankruptcy. Whichever comes first. ### 1/5 — Subscription model ruined the game *2024-12-26, version 4.64.00* just do ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to play? *2026-08-23, version 4.64.00* I used to play this game all the time as a kid and wanting to go back to play it now I downloaded excited, however when so I find out that they made it blocked behind a paywall? What happens to all my progress now? Horrible idea ### 1/5 — Are you serious? *2026-06-23, version 4.64.00* So now I have to pay a subscription to play this nonsense? No thanks. ### 1/5 — Ruined to game *2026-05-13, version 4.64.00* Bait and switch on an old game ### 1/5 — Subscription for app games now? *2026-04-27, version 4.64.00* Why are we putting subscription paywalls behind these games. This was a classic and it ruined my love for the game and people who made it. Y’all’s are trash. ### 1/5 — Tráiganlo de vuelta! *2026-04-09, version 4.64.00* Tengo este juego descargado desde 2016, cuando era gratis, clásico. Ahora se debe pagar subscripcion, esto lo encuentro terrible, ya que por solo esa razón no puedo disfrutar del juego. Una lástima. ### 1/5 — Deleted my save *2026-04-07, version 4.64.00* Microtransactions are bad. Deleted all my progress ### 1/5 — Subscription for 15 year old games??? *2026-03-22, version 4.64.00* Y’all are absolute shills. Saw a response to a review talking about “subscriptions for premium games” IT’S 15 YEARS OLD!!! Let us have the full classic games without this money hoarding nonsense… Oh wait, that would require y’all to have some degree of creativity and sense in making money, which no big developer seems to have nowadays. Y’all used to be the kings of mobile gaming and now y’all are a joke. “Like many studios, we are navigating a challenging period for the games industry…” Nah, y’all just blindly followed other studios in squeezing out money in the laziest way possible, and now y’all are getting boned. It sucks that y’alls executives will get to keep the biggest slice as more of y’alls workers get laid off. What an absolute joke. ### 1/5 — Pls i miss the old version *2026-03-15, version 4.64.00* it is so different i like when it had a movie theater and endless mode i don’t know any of the controls anymore and its kind of boring now pleaseeeee its changed and i dont like it 💔😣 ### 1/5 — Subscription scam *2026-01-12, version 4.64.00* I’m sorry wtf? WDYM you can’t even open the game without getting a subscription on a third party website? This is getting absolutely absurd, please do NOT DOWNLOAD THIS IS PURE SCAM, I just wanted to play a game I enjoyed as a kid and I have to sign away my life information to a predatory website that gets hacked every couple months or will sell my information? No thank you ### 1/5 — What the flip *2025-11-01, version 4.64.00* Already paid for this how dare you try to make me play again way to kill your own game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wish you can purchase *2026-08-02, version 4.64.00* Great game but hate that it’s on limited timer or that you have to subscribe to play. ### 5/5 — Bring back the 2014 Version! *2024-11-05, version 4.64.00* The last message i sent was good. but when i watch monster dash 2014 gameplays and seeing the ghostbusters event makes me want to play that version so i changed my mind are you and you team okay with that to make me happy? ### 5/5 — A bit simple but totally worth it❤️😀 *2024-07-14* This game is just very gooood… as it has an awesome collection of weapons and I even love how it changes its world to another. The best thing is that it has very little ads!! The graphics are attractive and it’s very fun to play . Overall, this games is worth it for me, totally loved it. ### 5/5 — Yay *2024-05-08, version 4.61.00* Thanks halfbrick for being my childhood game back with pixel!! ### 5/5 — I love it but *2024-05-05, version 4.61.00* I think I got an idea to make this game better 1 use coins to buy upgrades 2 missions 3 events and collaborations Thank you hope this helps. ### 5/5 — Yay the original is back!!! *2024-03-06, version 4.61.00* Thanks for going back to the OG gameplay ❤️ ### 5/5 — OG or is it? *2024-02-04, version 4.61.00* Hey halfbrick I LOVE your game it’s one of the bests,it is fun but it would be even funner if y’all added the events section like on JJ classic or atleast like Fruit Ninja where y’all still add updates and events.Thank you for my childhood I hope this gets heard thank you. ### 5/5 — Cool but *2023-11-18, version 4.61.00* Nice game but I liked the original there so much like the most importan part the soundtrack image me playing and then BOOM Barry is shooting monsters while the intense music plays ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2023-11-17, version 4.61.00* Thanks so much for bringing the game back to its classic form!
