### 4/5 — Great game but really hard.

*2026-03-08, version 2.15*

I am a diehard fan of My Hero Academia. This game is really fun but I find the mechanics very difficult and a bit frustrating at times. Also Kirishima needs to be fixed. The fact that he can’t move forward makes it impossible to protect Bakugo after being hit too many times because he goes behind him. And Bakugo sometimes changes lanes right when a blast hits him, not giving me a chance to take the hit. And no matter how many times I upgrade Bakugo and Kiri I can’t get past beating Daibo. So please fix Kirishima. Other than that the game is really fun.

### 4/5 — Add more characters:/

*2021-02-06, version 2.15*

I like the game a lot but the thing I don’t like it that there’s only baku :(( I would also like other hero’s and maybe if you could add like a group of fighters/hero’s that would be awesome! Anyways,I hope it’s not that much to ask :))

### 4/5 — Meh

*2021-01-03, version 2.15*

It’s not bad it will be cooler if you could unlock new characters to play as rather that bakugo and if you can watch an a ad if you die so you could last longer and it would be cooler if you could jump or sprint or even unlock more bosses tbh it’s not bad 😕

### 4/5 — Almost there.

*2020-12-17*

I really like this game. It’s simple but I’m still addicted to it. I just have two problems. One, sometimes when you move to fast you get stuck between rows, and you take damage from both of those rows of attacks. So instead of just being on the top or just on the middle, you are in between those rows and you basically can’t win. My only other problem is that I wish there was more music than just a five second sound clip. But as I said, besides for those two things, I really like this game!

### 4/5 — Yeah but a few things are meh

*2020-11-24, version 2.15*

It is all fun a games but then you get stuck on moonfish it is just so hard to beat and bakugo has a thing that makes him go faster but when i’m trying to protect him i get stuck behind because there is no way for me to get back up closer to bakugo 

Other then this i love the game thx for making it

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2020-11-05, version 2.15*

I’ve been here since kirishima didn’t exist and I love this game, and ideas for you guys to add would be maybe skins for kaminari and mineta and/or more co op chapters. Not to rush game progress though. Also, minetas precision stat seems to not work for most of the battle, whether or not this is intended I don’t know.

### 4/5 — Ayy I mean fun game

*2020-10-15*

It was fun for the few minutes I played untill I died and this wouldn’t have bothers me if it was a normal add but it was an add one step away from porn and I’m with my girlfriend it was funny but we were not expecting that😂 my request is resllt keep making this game good you could do a lot with it if you really wanted but if you do once it’s good enough and making better money maybe get some more suited adds

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2020-10-03, version 2.14*

There is one problem I have noticed. When I went to play co-op story I was collecting points by doing missions and I was not able to upgrade Minet. I hope you are able to fix this problem thank you for your time.

### 5/5 — Great game but a few suggestions

*2020-09-05*

Ok so I know you still working on it but I finished the game in like 2 or 3 hours. What y’all should add next is something like deku. But kinda like todoroki, he uses shoot style in the second half of his part. 

Also, one other thing I dislike is once you go to todoroki, you can’t go back to bakugo and kirishima. I know it could be an exploit to get points with bakugo and make todoroki easier. But todoroki has to deal with fight that are 4x health of like sludge and nomu.

One exploit you might want to fix is the losing and then just beat the fight off screen because that was how I beat deku or stain. Also, I know you might have heard it a lot but you spelled some of the names wrong. Finally weird suggestion but you should change the sprite from uraraka a bit cause it looks weird.

### 5/5 — Great but one problem

*2020-06-28, version 2.12*

Sorry if this sounds a bit insulting but can you add a mute button the music is repetitive  and I would like to listen to my own music while playing if you did I would play a lot more ^ ^ other than that I love the game

### 5/5 — Where’s deku and all might

*2020-06-01, version 2.12*

You would expect that the 2 main characters would be in this game

### 5/5 — Subjection

*2020-05-25, version 2.12*

You should make a Hero path and a villain path that Ayers can take. The hero path would be to level up a lot of hero’s and fight villains and the villain path would be to level up villains and fight hero’s. You were asking for subjections so that’s one

### 5/5 — Great game one problem

*2020-05-11, version 2.08*

I love this game and how we can play as heroes from the show. I also like how you took your own spin on the story and made the story mode. But, I noticed that when you added chapter 2 there were problems with chapter 1. Now, when I play chapter one, kaminari and Mineta don’t attack. They just run and get hit by bullets. Also, when I press on a chapter one fight, the cutscenes don’t play and it just goes to the fight. Can you fix this. Otherwise it’s a great game.

### 5/5 — Bug

*2020-05-04, version 2.08*

Cant shoot with mineta and kaminari

### 4/5 — Love the game

*2020-04-13, version 2.07*

I really like this game it’s kinda addictive. But maybe could you guys add a button to go to home so that we don’t have to exit the app and go back on to be able to switch characters?

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2020-12-22, version 2.15*

Can ppl plz make a GOOD MHA game? These games are trash.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-06-12, version 2.12*

Bad

### 1/5 — Pretty boring

*2020-01-25, version 1.92*

I just started playing and its already boring.  The main screen is so bland it needs decoration.   And the song when you fight its just repeated and so boring.  Even minecraft puts more effort with new updates.  And it would be a better game if you could choose a starter character instead of Bakugo!  Im not trying to make you feel bad just put more effort.  If you do maybe you could have some kind of 3d my hero academia famous game.  By a fellow game developer

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2020-01-25, version 1.92*

When I clicked inasa it wouldn’t work

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2019-09-26, version 1.8*

You die because of dumb glitches. For some reason, when you get hit, it doesn’t allow you to go up. Then, the boss just spams the two lanes you are allowed in (because it doesn’t allow you up) and then you die. Also, her name is Uraraka, and she’s not a villain. When you battle her, it says “Villain health”. This game is so hard because of the spamming and the health that the people that you are fighting have. This game needs a lot of improvement.

### 3/5 — Buff kirishima

*2021-01-17*

Kirishima’s game mode should be balanced better. Kirishima can only take so much damage before he is knocked behind bakugo and rendered useless until bakugo is hit. I think it would be more fair if kirishima had a way to move forward like the little flame does for bakugo. Also bakugo’s ai is absolutely terrible. I don’t know if that’s intentional to had challenge or what, but sometimes he will stand in a lane with just waves of attacks coming and just watch as they pummel you and then of course him. Also he tends to stand in a lane and will switch lanes with an attack coming at him in that lane but it’s already passed kirishima so I have no way to defend against it. 

Also, I’m very unsure about the difference between shield and defense, and speed doesn’t seem to have any useful effect. In game explanations would be a welcome addition and would rectify this.

Other than that, bakugo was fun to play as, and of course I haven’t gotten to todoroki yet. The co-op story is also fun.

### 3/5 — Looks like a fun game

*2020-07-14, version 2.12*

I just started playing the game and I was wondering if you could play as Fumikage Tokoyami and if not if you could please add him?

### 3/5 — Sound issue

*2020-04-14, version 2.07*

You have to add a way to turn the game music off, other than that it’s a fine game

### 3/5 — Needs some improvement

*2020-03-01, version 1.94*

So I’ve been playing for a while and I’ve been having an issue with the moving buttons. After I get hit it will only let me go up unless I get hit again. I minor complaint I have is the uraka fight it seems about to hard of a difficulty spike.

### 3/5 — Needs more items and details.

*2020-02-14*

The game is awesome all together, but it seems really bland. Like, it needs more characters to be besides Bakugo or Kacchan. It needs Deku, Todoroki, All Might, and etc.. I suppose it needs some special attack like Full Cowling or United States of Smash. I suggest it gets some helpful characters or healing characters like Recovery Girl or Eraser Head. Many some trick questions that give the game some pop. Though, All together it is awesome, just needs some more details.

### 5/5 — Amazing and good just need more levels though

*2023-11-03*

So honestly I didn’t think much of this game at first but when I played for like 10 minutes I started to love this game it’s amazing and takes me back to old pixel games but I finished and now I’m bored I’m just asking maybe could you add maybe levels where you can be 5% Deku and 100% Deku and maybe a villain mode either  then that I love this game and if you reading this try the game for at least 30 minutes I love this game I encourage you to make more games like this developer. Thank you for reading this if you did.

### 5/5 — Love

*2021-12-15, version 2.15*

I love it

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

*2021-05-20*

(First off I just need to add that I am a HUGE anime fan so this game mean a lot to me)I absolutely LOVE this game and I am really happy that I finally found a My Hero Academia game (I seen lots more mha games, but this game was the first I came across) i also love how I get to start off with kacchan! Overall this game is awesome and it’s all thanks the the developer for making this app! YOU ARE AWESOME! (All might himself approves of the app) :)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-03-28*

I just finished it I maxed out bakugo and shoto also kirashima one thing I suggest is that you can play as deku but you can’t but over all it is awesome you should make it so bakugo can make a huge explosion and do huge damage and make it so you can make kirashima ultimate hardened form that blocks all damage for 10 hits make it so you can fight more of class 1A

### 5/5 — I love the game but can you add more characters

*2021-03-10, version 2.15*

I love the game but I think there should be more characters like deku or todoroki or maybe even uraraka.

### 5/5 — Your game is absolutely amazing 🤚🥺🤚

*2021-02-10, version 2.15*

I am a My Hero Acedemia fan myself, i have completed your game but i’ve waited for a month for more updates, but i know you’re probably working on it! Bye!! 🌹✨☺️

### 5/5 — New things that are cool

*2021-01-26*

I think u should add a level with deku that is the last level and u fight all might that is over powered but when u beat him it was a cloak and it was actually all for one. And there is a bug that once u lose u can keep it on the screen they will still attack so u can beat every body easily

### 5/5 — When’s the next update

*2021-01-17, version 2.15*

Ok love the game only thing is I’m just waiting for an update

### 5/5 — Stuff

*2021-01-03, version 2.15*

I think it’s a really fun game and I like how it’s so simple yet fun im happy you used mineta even though he’s such a hated character. Just add more playable females and maybe a playable villain mode? Possibly? Thank you so much!!!

### 5/5 — It’s a great game but a few problems

*2020-11-26, version 2.15*

1. Todoroki is too weak, even though he starts off like Bakugo he’s no match for the bosses set up for him because of the massive difference in health 

2. Sometimes when playing Bakugo you will freeze up and won’t be able to go into a certain row 

It’s a great game and I recommend you play it but please keep these things in mind while playing! 

p.s. if you just stand at the lose screen you can defeat the boss and get all the points from the boss!
