### 3/5 — Wayyyy too many ads

*2024-10-16, version 3.2.1*

Has the potential to be an awesome game, just like Bloons... but the ads are too much.  Every 1.5 levels and even interrupting levels to play ads.  Deleted after 10 levels

### 3/5 — Fun game. Ads in the middle of every level.

*2024-09-25, version 3.1.1*

Good game but very annoying to get a ad in the middle of every level.

### 2/5 — fun game until it gets stuck

*2024-09-23*

Good game but can’t get past level 50. Keeps telling me i need 1 more star even when i complete the level with 3 stars. Deleted

### 1/5 — Updates don’t save progress

*2024-09-05, version 3.0.1*

Every time an update is made I loose my level progress and coins.  I was on level 532 and had over 30,000 coins and now back to level 1 and 0 coins.

### 3/5 — Fun game but gets stuck

*2024-08-23, version 2.2.1*

There is a bug on level 61 and it won’t let you shoot all of the balloons and you can’t get passed that level because of that

### 3/5 — Bug

*2024-08-16, version 2.2.1*

There’s always a bug on random levels where there is one balloon you can never pop. And there’s no way to file a complaint within the app

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2024-07-26, version 2.2.1*

I got to level 1xxx and the game reset but the coins stayed the same and now the game stops working and some levels it won’t let me pop balloons

### 3/5 — Unbeatable

*2023-08-09, version 1.1*

Lvl 67 is unbeatable. I can pop every balloon visible and still have 3 darts left over and I am always 2 balloons short.

### 2/5 — HUGE BUG

*2023-08-09, version 1.1*

Downloaded this game for my kids and then realized you can’t get past level 67 you pop every balloon and you can’t advance pretty annoying

### 1/5 — Fix 67

*2023-08-09, version 1.1*

Good game but can’t get past level 67 because they don’t give you enough balloons to beat the level

### 1/5 — Low rating for company attention

*2025-04-08, version 3.2.3*

I have played this game for years. I think I am finally over it and done this time. I’ve reached out once before, I’ve made several bundle purchases since downloading the game. Some of the levels are almost nearly impossible to pass without having some type of “extra”. Well it’s done this for as long as I can remember, but however, I’m not a big gamer and I just get on to pass the time, however I do like to progress. Well the problem is, numerous times I have used all my coins to prolong the game instead of restarting the entire set, and when I finally burst all the balloons, the game glitches, there will be no on screen balloons to pop, but the number in the top right hand corner says there is. I have several different screen shots going back as far as when I first downloaded. Well it wasn’t that big of a deal to me as I stated before, but now that I just purchased a bundle pack and used all my extras (yes, I know that’s not great sportsmanship, I’m an adult playing a game more suitable for children I’m sure and I like to win! Lol) it has yet again stiffed me on the balloons and I had to exit because it froze up not allowing me to shoot or anything, not that there was anything to shoot anyways, I do have screen shots to cover my story. Well I go to try and contact developer once again and I can’t find anything linking me to a support page or FAQ section, but I click on the developer info and I see where they are (and kudos to you for doing so well) quoting their net last year at a billion $ and it just kinda hit me wrong I guess, because, of course your company is making a tremendous amount of money, when you have app users like me that purchase and use and then when we can’t find a way to get support, we lose interest or figure it’s not worth the headache at the time. My point here is, charge your prices, promote your apps, but how about keep them glitch free and not create a way for users to interact with you about their issues in a more direct way…then, by all means, flaunt your billions! I don’t agree with a lot going on in these times as they have changed tremendously since I was coming up, but I hope the younger generation understands when I say quality over quantity. Because I feel as if that may not have been in the plans in this situation. I don’t like to complain or be a Karen, I promise. But dang it, this is ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Level 49

*2024-11-03, version 3.2.1*

Got all balloons. Wont clear out level!!!!!!!!!
Booooooo

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2024-10-15, version 3.2.1*

Game won’t move past the first loading screen and unable to play.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the 80 star gate

*2024-10-14, version 3.2.1*

I have only four stars left on the levels before the 80 star gate and it wants me to get 40 more and there’s no way to go back and get more when they all have 3 stars.

### 1/5 — Lost progress

*2024-10-08, version 3.2.0*

I was enjoying the game and was on like level 60 or 70 or something and then I opened the game up today and it restarted me at level 1. 🙄. Not playing anymore

### 1/5 — Lost All My Progress for No Reason

*2024-10-06, version 3.2.0*

I decided to try this game out because it looked like an interesting puzzle game to pass the time with.  I got pretty hooked on it and bought coins once or twice to get further ahead in the game.  But then I logged in one day only to find all my progress had been erased, with no way to contact support and the Restore Purchases button not doing anything.  Instant delete.  I don’t have patience for apps that waste my time and money like that.

### 1/5 — Progress lost!

*2024-10-05, version 3.2.0*

I installed todays update and its reset all my progress.

### 1/5 — Update deleted all progress!

*2024-10-05, version 3.2.0*

This game was fun until the update deleted all of my progress and started over from the beginning.

### 1/5 — Error

*2024-09-28, version 3.1.1*

So I paid the fee to remove ads but got an error in game saying purchase failed however I’ve still been charged.

### 1/5 — Can’t move past the first level

*2024-09-21, version 3.1.0*

Can’t move on from the first level even after completing it.

### 4/5 — Fun but level 44 can’t be 3 star

*2024-09-16, version 3.0.1*

I’ve gotten to level 200 and now going through getting 3 stars on the ones I missed, however even if I use one dart per section of the level you’re still left with 6 darts when you need 7 (start with 9) please fix this 

Really addicting and nostalgic besides that one thing

It’s fun but it reuses levels ALL the time. I have played the same level 5 different times.
