GOOD. ### 4/5 — So mad *2018-12-31, version 1.2* This game makes me mad. I literally had 42 and this guy goes right through my horn and kills me several times pls fix love game in all. ### 3/5 — Eh *2018-08-03, version 1.2* This game is ok but once your horn is to long they can go though your horn and this has lead me to many deaths also there are no more than just one skin ### 3/5 — 😡😭 *2018-07-23, version 1.2* Some names of people are offensive like they say no women no cry or girls stink a lot very offensive I’m not playing again until that’s fixed FIX IT in 2 weeks or I’m rating 1 star if you fix I’ll give you five stars ### 4/5 — ads *2018-06-29, version 1.2* I love this game soooo much😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 but I want to erase ads so bad ### 4/5 — Add online and skins *2018-02-18, version 1.2* Whenever I go to get a skin, it says to connect to the internet. Even when it says that I am. It would make the game game so much better. Even when I like it without skins it would be awesome to get skins. So I noticed that I was getting 1st every time. So I looked at the people’s name tag and it was the same every time. Most .io games are online and if this one was online😲 it would be the best game ever. Plezzz add these features🤞. ### 3/5 — I love but why can't I get a new skin anymore???? *2018-01-07, version 1.2* Ok, love it, but the thing is, i for some reason I am not able to get a new skin? I got the normal skin and then the blue skin with the cool needle and the Purple skin and then, For some reason, I am not anymore able to get a new skin? What's going on? Please help me ### 3/5 — CPU's *2017-10-03, version 1.2* This game is fun but I keep seeing the same players even at night so I thought "why do these players keep appearing?" Well I figured it out this game has CPU 's which aren't real people It would be better if they didn't have fake players so just so everyone knows every eager every quitter it's not real people so know you could do well with real pvp in this game ### 4/5 — Good game but... *2017-09-28, version 1.2* This is a really fun game too me but I feel likes it’s not multiplayer at all ### 3/5 — It's cool but it's one problem *2017-08-30, version 1.2* It's says now connection even when I have full bars and no matter what it's offline and .io is meant to always be online games ### 3/5 — Simple fun game, but a few problems. *2017-08-02, version 1.2* When you hit the 30 mark, the enemies can pass through your "needle". Simply put, they should get killed by any part of the needle from the base up or at least not pass through it. Also the skins says "no connection" when I have a perfectly good connection. Fix these 2 issues for 5* ### 4/5 — Boi I'm helping u :v *2017-07-26, version 1.2* Boi if you're going insane with teh ads try playing the game in airplane mode or just disable your wifi then u got no ads. You're welcome boi😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 ### 4/5 — Good game! *2017-07-17, version 1.2* This is a really fun and addicting io game, although I think the creators should either create an in app purchase to remove adds, or simply cut down on the number of adds. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hit box *2018-10-22, version 1.2* Hit box bad fix or I will stick my horn in you ### 1/5 — Ugly *2017-12-28, version 1.2* Absolutely appalling to my eyeballs I can look at these things you call "narwhals" they look like swordfish that got ripped from a shark and spit out next time work on details one star 😡 ### 1/5 — Awesome game but something wrong with skins *2017-09-12, version 1.2* i love this game! But there is something wrong when i try to get a new skin it says no connection and i have connection please can you fix that ### 1/5 — Too many 30 second ads *2017-08-29, version 1.2* You spend more time watching ads than playing. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2017-07-13, version 1.2* Every time you die a ad pops up I mean it makes no sense! 😒😡😡🖕🏻 ### 1/5 — Not online *2017-06-08, version 1.2* Just another good io game without online gameplay. Every opponent is a robot and its fairly obvious. ### 1/5 — Really easy *2017-06-01, version 1.2* My first time and I was the first in like 2 seconds but it is really boring also a lot of ads. I say don't get it because it is really time wasting when you could be doing other things ### 1/5 — Not real players *2017-03-12, version 1.2* Try playing this game in airplane mode. ### 2/5 — Great game but too many ads *2017-12-20, version 1.2* Everytime I play a ten second game I have to watch a thirty second ad. Not really worth it but, it's a pretty great game if it dint push the ads so much:/ ### 2/5 — Game is tricking you ! Must read! *2017-10-11, version 1.2* This game has fake fake fake fake players! The person who makes these types of games always puts fake players! Srsly, DUDE GET SERIOUS THIS IS ALL FAKE!!😤😡 on the other hand 💁, Still kinda good for no lag 😐 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing but... *2020-08-31, version 1.2* I love this game very much, but I think there are some problems. First of all, it would be great if it was online! Also I think it could be harder, my high score is 61... that’s not really important though. My biggest problem is that EVERYONE ELSE IN THE GAME HAS COOL SKINS BUT IT SAY “NOT CONNECTED WHEN I GO TO GET THEM!!!! Please fix this!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-05-27, version 1.2* I love this game some much one of my favorites This game rules ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2018-10-25, version 1.2* It’s so much fun it’s very easy but fun love this game! ### 5/5 — Love it 😍 *2018-09-01, version 1.2* This is the most addictive game ever!!! The narwhals r soooo cute. I recommend this game if u very easily get bored. But how do u change ur skin. Other narwhals r colorful but it says I need to connect to the internet which I am but it doesn’t let me change it. Plz fix this. ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩 *2018-06-19, version 1.2* I ❤️ this game bc all of my other I.o games get boring when this one does not. I am having a problem with the skins to if you could please fix that Other than that is perfectly fine my high score is 50 I am reaching to get 55 wish me luck ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2018-05-06, version 1.2* I love this game it is the best game I ever played whoever made this game I love you guys. It is a really really fun game and my high score is 76 wow well it really ain’t that here is a tip if your going to play this game stay at the bottom because they usually turn into a ball. I think the hole world should play this. Well that’s all I got I’m 2 busy playing the game ur the last thing I have to say is if you creators want me to keep playing just take away the ads please. ### 5/5 — >:) *2017-11-23, version 1.2* I freaking love this game!!! It's so hilarious!! Other people complain about the horn getting too long and other narwhals being able to pass through, but honestly I think it's fine. If they couldn't pass through, then you could just sit there, spinning, and absolutely murdering everyone. And plus, that part isn't even sharp! Why would it kill people? I think it's balanced. That is the price you pay for getting that many kills. (My high score is 72 lol, it isn't that hard guys) Literally the only problem at all is the weird connection thing when you try to get skins. I actually don't care though....it's not that important. The narwhals are already derpy, and I think they are perfect. Still giving five stars :) If I could give 6, I definitely freaking would. ### 5/5 — Successfully succer sassy sad apps *2017-11-05, version 1.2* This App is great I love it.I also love all of the ather Games by .io . If you like leader boards then you will like it because it is so easy to get up there. YOU SHOULD BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I ♥️ Narwhals *2017-07-14, version 1.2* I love this app!! I do have the issue with the skins too, and a complaint about when I get to around thirty, my horn is super long and hard to control. Besides that, I love this app and totally recommend it. My high score is 47, trying for 50! Thanks!! - Wifi lover ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2017-07-13, version 1.2* This .io game helps with video game and you can destroy people with a flippen needle/narwhale. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
