*2026-07-05, version 2.1.42*

Только с впн решите проблему

### 1/5 — 2 Years Later

*2026-06-15, version 2.1.40*

After two years of playing almost everyday, I had to delete this game. I have not been able to complete a single level in 3 months. I have tried switching characters, jewels, upgraded everything I can, and found if I can’t pass a single level in 3 months…what am I doing in this game. I deleted my account. Save yourself the trouble!!

### 5/5 — 꽤 재미지네요.

*2026-06-03*

다른 게임을 하다가 우연히 광고를 보고 다운 받았는데 아직은 저 레벨이고 서툴지만, 꽤 재밌게 즐기고 있습니다. 아기자기한 캐릭들의 매력에 빠져드네요.ㅎㅎㅎ

### 5/5 — Iscoo

*2026-05-29, version 2.1.36*

Is the coolest mashup of cats and ninjas and the gameplay is intricate complicated and very you understand it but they give it in a way that's like oh it's just clicking around and fun

### 1/5 — Another trashy game tarnishing Rougelike

*2026-05-17, version 2.1.34*

Classic p2w e-trash. Redundant skill pool filled up with useless skills (and the developer is still enlarging it! ). To anyone wanna give it a try, be ready for p2w or struggling for the 1% chance to get through each level.

### 3/5 — 卡

*2026-05-15, version 2.1.34*

2.1.34版本更新後好卡
原本只有在打關卡怪很多加上忍術特效很多時才會卡住，現在大廳操作點擊都會卡，甚至打關卡還不斷卡到閃退而且體力也沒補回來，官方是否能設置一個可以將忍術特效關閉的按鈕？或是修正卡頓的問題

### 5/5 — Great Casual Gooner Weeb Game

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.34*

Its great you can just jump in and jump out and theres so much to level up and junk.
Only downside is all voice actors are japanese but the game is fun and relaxing.

### 5/5 — It’s a good time wasting game but it’s got one problem…

*2026-05-13, version 2.1.33*

The monthly ad remover is pretty scum-ish if you ask me. Other than that it is a good and fun time wasting game.
