👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

### 5/5 — really good

*2025-07-20, version 0.6*

Ads  don't pop up a lot and is fun

### 5/5 — So much money!

*2025-07-08, version 0.6*

The best game I’ve ever played

### 4/5 — This  only has 1 flaw….

*2025-06-29, version 0.6*

This game is awesome! and I mean it! But when I got this game I thought there would be no ads, so you need to fix that, and when I spend my money or try to click on it, nothing happens.

### 4/5 — Awesome game, one minor flaw

*2025-04-14, version 0.4*

This is a great game, but I can’t seem to access the mini gun, although seeing gameplay online with it. Also, there are reviews saying that ads crash the game, and that doesn’t seem to happen in the version of the game that is the current one, as of now but probably was in earlier versions.

### 5/5 — It has a lot of ads but it’s fine if you’re patient

*2025-04-09, version 0.4*

It has a lot of ads, but it’s fine if you’re patient, but some people aren’t sure this game is not fun to them who are not impatient

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-04-06, version 0.4*

One of the best games ever to exist

### 5/5 — Fun and awesome

*2025-04-06, version 0.4*

I love the game love how the graphics are and how you are destroying a completely not real person but can you please add a bucket hat that is the design of another game suit I have.

### 4/5 — I would give 5 stars but one issue

*2025-03-25, version 0.4*

Every time I get a add my game crashes…

### 5/5 — Great game, but found bugs.

*2025-03-11, version 0.4*

2 things, the cactus, can bug out, making the needles stuck in one spot, and the cactus needle less,until the game is turned off and on again, and also, ads make the game crash, will update if finding more!

### 4/5 — Some problems

*2025-02-22, version 0.4*

This game is amazing but sometimes certain things just stop working for some reason, but over all good game.

### 1/5 — Read this

*2026-03-28, version 0.8.2*

A review said you get no ads but when I downloaded it, I got ads

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-05-28, version 0.4*

The game is impossible to play because when it hits a single ad at some point in it it crashes your game and kicks you out and that happens every time to my iPad and I’m playing on a really good iPad too so that’s why this game is horrible. I would never play again. I literally deleted it from my home screen.

### 1/5 — So much ads

*2025-05-11, version 0.4*

Why are there so much ads

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-02-14, version 0.4*

This game won’t let me do anything with ads! It always exits me out!

### 1/5 — i hate it the fact its crashing

*2024-12-01, version 0.4*

i dont like it it has to many adds,crashes,lagging insanely intense,annoying i just dont like it can u may update the game or make adds apear in at least 6 mins?

### 3/5 — Really great but…

*2025-07-05, version 0.6*

This game is really great, but it does have some bugs like the usual but I found something that I don’t know how to fix or maybe it was intentional for one of the items I can’t afford it, but I can afford something that costs more than it. It’s like the game is saying 1>2 so I hope somebody says if this is an intentional or an accident thing and also maybe have a limit for the items from getting even more expensive because after a while, it gets hard to even buy stairs but still pretty good game does have some flaws though also, you need to add a lot more weapons and also maybe some other versions of stuff like a mini gun that shoots in other directions maybe the ability to turn items around that would be great like also what about some liquids or stairs at the face to the right? Also, maybe you could add a thing where you can make your own weapon. your game is pretty good but could use a lot of improvements

### 3/5 — We have a problem…

*2025-04-17, version 0.4*

Now the whole game is good but every break the game crashes and I lose my progress on the game so it’s not a bad game but I just think that it’s better to check out the bug and try to patch it

### 3/5 — i like it but at the same time i don’t

*2024-11-09, version 0.4*

i don’t like it a lot because of the adds

### 3/5 — What!?

*2024-10-17*

Amazing game I would rate five stars but two things make it bad many ads and when the ads happen they crash the game idk if it’s just for me please fix I can’t do much and you can’t buy no ads other than that amazing game

### 4/5 — Very fun!!

*2026-01-01, version 0.8.2*

### 5/5 — it soooooo cooooooooooool

*2026-05-22, version 0.9.2*

it the best game I ever played

### 5/5 — Good game but one problem

*2026-05-22, version 0.9.2*

So I like the game I just got it but one problem… the prices on the late game items are a bit to high at base I think you make the base cost for the helicopter and up a bit lower because it’s meant to be a simulation game with ragdoll physics not you watch ads to get good things to get your money up.other than that the game is great.this is my second review so I’m adding on to my last review I’ve played the game for about an hour and  what I said well I was wrong im going to correct myself okay so I don’t you lower the price or inflation of everything but maybe lower the inflation for the the items you use to move the ragdoll around like the conveyor belt I you should atleast lower the inflation for some of the conveyor belt items and the other thing is for late game items I think you should mopake the base price a tiny bit lower but you can leave the inflation normal or it could have a expensive inflation but that’s just a suggestion sorry you have to read all this but now I’m done.

### 5/5 — GOoD

*2026-05-05, version 0.9.2*

*2026-01-02, version 0.8.2*

In this game you can create and kick ragdoll butts with so many weapons. You just can an auto killing machine at the starting area. Amazing! Best! Brilliant!

### 5/5 — Stress defense but

*2025-11-26, version 0.6*

*2025-11-08, version 0.6*

Hey there I’m just wondering if you want to now. I’m going out for dinner and then I’m heading home and I have a meeting with the kids and I will call them when I’m on the road to the house so they don’t get to see me if they are there yet but I’m just curious what you guys want me there so you can tell them what time.  Thanks
