I was playing the game when it said I could watch an ad for extra cash, but I said no and I still got an ad that didn’t even give a reward, other than that it’s ok

### 2/5 — TO MUCH ADSS

*2026-07-02, version 0.3.9*

Can you make it like every 5 levels there’s a ad plz

### 3/5 — Enjoy but needs updating

*2026-06-09*

such a great game but there are about 10 levels that just repeat and the part of the game where you build the houses and shops and collect money and gems for them after wining has not ever been updated, would be good if it went to another level after you built all of the buildings

### 1/5 — what

*2026-05-10, version 0.3.9*

I was literally advertised illegal drugs

### 1/5 — Charged without asking

*2026-04-21*

I downloaded to play. When I selected, it only said get. It forced me to update my billing information on my phone to complete the download, but still never gave a price or confirmation or purchase. Then once it downloaded, I was notified from my bank of a $9.98 charge. And it still has ads!! And I bet you will only see this review after you downloaded the game as well.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-22, version 0.4.3*

Literally impossible to play because the amount of ads, there’s a minute of ads after every single round and it’s just too annoying and impossible to play

### 1/5 — So bad🤮🤮

*2026-07-21*

I read some of the reviews and they said there were so much ads and wanted their number and everything, but mine is worse… IT DOESNT WORK ON MY IPAD!!! Some of you might say,” Oh, probably because your iPad is outdated or you’ll have to reinstall it because it glitches!” No! My iPad is a mini 6, and my device is updated to the recent version! And compared to the other apps, this app is one of the worst…

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2026-07-18, version 0.4.3*

Tooo many ads

### 1/5 — Horrible app do not download.

*2026-07-18*

After I downloaded this game I realized that there is so much add that make in unfun to play. It is really annoying after each game you play there is an ad. this game is fun to play but there is WAY too many ads. After each game you play there is one forced ad. It makes the game less enjoyable. People please check the reviews before downloading this horrible game. TOO MANY ADS!!!

### 1/5 — Worst game in history of games.

*2026-07-15, version 0.4.3*

I genuinely wanted to enjoy this game because the core idea is actually pretty fun. Merging numbers while running through obstacles is simple, relaxing, and could have been a great game to play for a few minutes at a time. Unfortunately, almost every bit of enjoyment is buried under repetitive gameplay and an overwhelming amount of advertising.

The biggest problem is that the game becomes incredibly repetitive very quickly. Every level feels almost identical to the last. You're doing the same thing over and over with very little variety, very few new mechanics, and almost no reason to keep playing beyond watching your number get bigger. After a short amount of time, it feels like you're playing the exact same level repeatedly with only minor cosmetic changes. Instead of introducing fresh challenges or interesting features, the game just stretches the same gameplay loop for as long as possible.

The advertising is an even bigger issue. There are constant interruptions asking if you want to watch an ad for extra rewards. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem because it's supposed to be optional. However, even when I specifically choose "No Thanks," I still end up getting an advertisement anyway. That completely defeats the purpose of offering a choice. If saying "No Thanks" still results in an ad, then it wasn't really a choice to begin with.

To make matters worse, many of these ads are ridiculously long. Some last close to an entire minute before you can even think about closing them. Then you have to wait for another countdown, press a tiny X, sometimes get another screen promoting the app, and then close it again. By the time you're finally back in the game, you've spent far more time watching advertisements than actually playing. It's frustrating and completely disrupts the flow of the game.

The frequency of the ads is exhausting. Finish a level? Ad. Want to continue? Ad. Decline an optional reward? Somehow still an ad. It reaches the point where the game feels less like entertainment and more like a platform designed to show advertisements with a small amount of gameplay squeezed in between them.

I understand that free games need ads to generate revenue, and I don't mind watching optional advertisements when I choose to. What I do mind is when the game ignores my selection, constantly interrupts gameplay, and forces me to sit through long, unskippable ads. There needs to be a balance, and this game misses that balance by a mile.

Overall, the concept has potential, but the repetitive gameplay combined with excessive, lengthy, and seemingly unavoidable advertisements makes it difficult to recommend. If the developers reduced the number of ads, respected the player's choice when they press "No Thanks," shortened the forced advertisements, and added more gameplay variety, this could become a much better experience. Until then, it feels like the game is more interested in keeping players watching ads than keeping them entertained.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-12, version 0.3.9*

Horrible no way else to explain it look at other reviews

### 1/5 — Its an AD app with some game

*2026-07-07, version 0.3.9*

Youre spending lots of time watching ads over actually playing the game. Skip this game quick

### 1/5 — Why is it so hard!?

*2026-07-06*

I can’t even get into the app! I’ve tried everything I could, but it’s just one thing that’s stopping me from getting into the app! The app looks SOOOOO exiting! But it just has to ruin my day!!! It’s not even a shooting game, it’s just a game where you shoot your type of number! The App Store needs to pay attention so that it can lower the age so I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s why I rate one star…

### 1/5 — Unplayable game

*2026-06-05, version 0.3.9*

As soon as I downloaded it it just showed a black screen i couldnt click anything and I tried resetting the game and I tried deleting it and redownloading it but nothing worked
