### 2/5 — Gutes Konzept - doch ohne Geld kommt man nicht weit

*2026-04-04, version 47*

Die Spielidee ist super, und die Flucht einer Prinzessin aus dem Drachenturm der Stoff für ein Märchen. Man hat allerdings nur ein Leben, was durch die Schwierigkeit des Spiels nicht lange hält. Und Herzen/Leben kann man nur mit Geld kaufen…
Mit etwas Mühe, kann man sogar mehr Werbung anschauen als das Spiel zu spielen.

### 4/5 — Me gusta mucho

*2026-03-31, version 47*

Ojalá agreguen que los personajes tengan alguna habilidad no muy rota, pero me encanta para pasar el rato

### 2/5 — Pay to Win und Werbunglastig

*2026-02-18, version 47*

Es hat früher Spaß gemacht aber es zu spielen. Gegen Geld oder Werbung konnte man weiter spielen oder ein Überraschungsitem bekommen. Jetzt wird das Spiel gleich zu Anfang von der Schwierigkeit auf Level 2 oder 3 eingestellt und mit Werbung unterbrochen.

### 4/5 — Too many ads

*2026-01-14, version 47*

There are ads after the levels but this game is the best l love it

### 3/5 — Bien mais algorithme pas fair-play

*2025-12-20, version 47*

Le jeu est sympa et addictif, mais j’ai rapidement compris que la distribution des options (bottes, marteau de feu, bombes etc…) n’est pas du tout aléatoire et s’adapte au jeu du joueur. Ainsi vous perdez uniquement parceque le jeu « triche » sur la distribution des options! Pas fairplay!!!

### 4/5 — Pickles

*2025-12-06, version 47*

Incredible but if all characters had special abilities it would be better

### 4/5 — 현질 했는데 아이템 드랍이 안돼요

*2025-11-29, version 47*

1100원 내고 용 비늴 사서 폭탄 9개나 샀는데 드랍이 안돼요.. 내 돈내놔

### 4/5 — !

*2025-10-02*

Игра не плохая, увлекательная, но у меня в достижениях почему то «набрать 18000 очков» закрыто, а «набрать 12000 очков» есть, не понимаю что на так

### 5/5 — Childhood

*2025-09-06, version 47*

Pretty easy to comprehend, fun distraction when bored, and honestly loved it.

### 4/5 — buenardo

*2025-07-20, version 47*

me gustaria que cada final fuera diferente dependiendo la princesa y que sus principes las esten esperando abajo

### 5/5 — Mükemmel oyun

*2025-07-18, version 47*

Öncelikle eğer siz isterseniz sadece reklam çıkıyor yani mesela kaybettin ve devam edebilmek için reklam izleyip ikinci bir şansın oluyor ve pop up reklamlar çok sinir bozucu bunu hepimiz biliyoruz.
Oyundaki karakterleri çok sevdim ve ne kadar aşağı inersen o kadar zorlaşıyor ve düşman çeşitleri de artıyor yani bu sadece bir tane hep aynı düşman değil.
Pencelerelerin yanında uzun süre kalırsan ejderha seni yakmaya geliyor

### 5/5 — めっちゃ好き

*2025-07-18, version 47*

ゲームアプリで1番好き！
広告ウザいって思う人は機内モードすれば広告でないよ！

### 5/5 — Одна из любимейших игр

*2025-07-05*

Игр шикарная, легко залипнуть на часы^^

### 5/5 — Мне нравится стучать птичек

*2025-06-16*

Я выполнила восемь конкретных заданий ко мне обойтись этих глупых полтора дракончика а няня мне предложила убегать или прыгать ? Я уже прошла шесть испытаний уже что у меня новый рекорд другой когда вы приедете мы все вместе поиграем ну только три не надо станет четыре 👧🧑👦👩‍🦱

### 5/5 — Don't wait for prince charming!

*2025-06-01, version 47*

I enjoy this game a lot! It's a simple design but very engaging, the graphics and ambiance are beautiful, and ads unlock additional opportunities instead of being invasive.

### 5/5 — Jogo

*2025-05-31, version 47*

Jogo maravilhoso!

### 1/5 — Fun game…. Bad ad system

*2026-08-01, version 47*

Ads often don’t close after you’ve watched them forcing you to force close and lose the reward and any progress in the game.

### 1/5 — The controls aren't ergonomic 😬🫠

*2026-05-04, version 47*

I understand that the current control scheme is the foundation of the gameplay. However, we cannot ignore the fact that this control scheme is limited (sometimes the player’s actions aren’t registered). On top of that, there are bugs in the game where enemies stop performing their roles. And the gameplay itself is extremely frustrating: there are very often unfair scenarios (procedural generation). And you can’t customize which enemies you’ll encounter in the game.

### 1/5 — Force to watch add

*2026-01-07*

I have playing this game for many days or year , it is so good but right now you r forcing me to watch the add this is my decision either i will watch or not , but you guys r forcing me to watch add with out with out any option if i have to play i have to watch this is no skip button also . I dint need to play this game

### 1/5 — Здирництво

*2025-06-07, version 47*

Постійно й наполегливо пропонують щось придбати в додатку. Гра — дно, підхід такий же. На еплТВ дитина наклацала на 1000грн🤡

### 1/5 — LADROES

*2025-03-06, version 47*

Paguei 4.90 duas vezes pra rdcsber 10 vidas e nao recebi NENHUMA BANDIDOS

### 1/5 — Super Spiel ABER die aggressive Werbung STÖRT EXTREM!!!

*2025-02-08, version 47*

Klasse Spiel mit Suchtfaktor, wenn die Macher es nicht mit der aggressiven Werbung übertreiben würden! Eigentlich 5 Sterne!!! Die Gier der Macher scheint immer größer zu werden… mit der Zeit verschlimmert sich die nervige Werbung immer mehr

### 1/5 — Muchos anuncios y se bloquea la pantalla

*2024-11-29, version 41*

Antes era super bueno, ya que los anuncios eran “moderados” ahora es a cada rato y lo peor es que hay anuncios que no me deja salir, tengo que cerrar el juego y volverlo a a abrir, perdiendo todo el avance y las cosas que compré 
Ojalá se pueda arreglar

### 1/5 — I can’t play!

*2024-09-23, version 41*

I have a good model on my tablet, but when I go through the intro, and the princess takes the hammer, the dragon and the princess just vanish and I can’t press anything. It’s making the game unplayable and I am extremely disappointed.

### 1/5 — 无法进入游戏

*2024-03-27, version 41*

怎么玩不了了？？？？

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-11-17, version 41*

I’ve had this game for years, why are there ads all of a sudden??

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-15, version 47*

It is so good I went to the 12 level on my 2nd try and I battled the dragon but sadly I died. It is a very fun but challenging game and you should also get it to trust me u will enjoy it

### 5/5 — Melhor jogo na minha opinião

*2025-11-30, version 47*

Eu amo os personagens e o inimigo eu adoro assustar as pombas e a mecânica de dinheiro é muito boa e os pacotes do jogo são muito baratos

### 5/5 — Maravilloso

*2025-11-25, version 47*

Es un juego increíble, a pesar de que solo puedes hacer 4 movimientos, es súper difícil, no importa cuánto tiempo lleves jugando, definitivamente mi favorito.
