The only negative things I have to say about it is how expensive everything in the shop is. You have to play for at least an hour to even afford another heart in the shop. Along with that why would you need to buy every other character for $10 a piece?? that’s lowkey crazy. ### 3/5 — Grind grind grind *2026-04-22, version 1.2980* I bought the ultimate power and it does not give u 2X the power it says and shows u earning double but it sadly does not add up ### 5/5 — fun game *2026-04-02, version 1.2974* very fun. can use the little blue coins (called “power”) to purchase abilities. every 10 levels, new boss. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-03-15* Finally coming back to this little game after some years to beat and loved it this game has been one of my favorite games since i was very young i love the theme, monsters, and the characters i wish they each had a unique power/ability but other than that such a great game to just pass the time i hope to see more updates in the future. ### 5/5 — CONTENT CREATORS PLEASE READ *2026-03-10* Hi it’s me again I’d also thought of the idea of adding more characters I’ve played and looked over them there were cool BUT what if you added a berserker that could have a special power of dashing like in the game also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! ADD MULTIPLAYER I know it’s a lot to ask but I’d make the game more fun in my opinion just saying your guy Jamolamo1745 if anyone reads this please get the idea and LETS DO MULTIPLAYER THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — A *2026-02-10, version 1.295* A ### 2/5 — Not a fan of the last update’s nerfs *2026-02-05, version 1.295* Title says it all. Whats the point of paying for Ultimate Power and grinding for an attack buff if it only works on the first hit? Makes it feel far less satisfying ### 2/5 — Latest update not great. *2026-02-04, version 1.294* Latest update ruined the snappy, satisfying combat. I bought the Ninja (the most expensive character) — please bring back the old fast-paced combat. ### 5/5 — Gem *2026-01-31, version 1.294* True gem ### 5/5 — simple and fun *2026-01-21, version 1.293* easy controls, challenging but not impossible ### 5/5 — Thank you message for developer *2026-01-15* Thanks you for updating the game 🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-12-22, version 1.290* Goood game ### 5/5 — The game. *2025-12-17, version 1.290* The only game. ### 5/5 — Good lil time waster *2025-12-17, version 1.290* As it says ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-12-13, version 1.290* fun ### 4/5 — Muy buena *2025-11-22, version 1.290* Buenisimo hermano simple mente retro ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix it plz！ *2026-03-25, version 1.2974* Why are the characters I previously purchased locked again? Has this bug actually been fixed? ### 1/5 — Bum *2026-02-22, version 1.295* Bum bum bum sahur ### 1/5 — Stop reading bad reviews *2025-11-12, version 1.290* STOP ### 1/5 — Portrait mode? *2025-10-20, version 1.290* Found this recommended as a good portrait mode game but I can’t figure out how to play like that ### 1/5 — Stole my money. *2025-07-07, version 1.290* I really hate that I have to report this. This was one of my favorite games growing up. I’m 23 now and remembered it existed, so I looked it up and downloaded it, now that I make money and am not a child anymore I decided to buy ultimate power, I gave them the 5$ and received not a single thing it said I would, I would like my money back, I hope this get resolved I do not want this happening to other players that just wanna enjoy the game,Thanks. ### 1/5 — Fix joystick the last update clearly didn’t do it *2025-06-19, version 1.290* Fix the joystick i have died so many times cause i will let go of joystick and it will continue to give input making me fall off ### 1/5 — Didnt give me paid purchases *2024-10-17, version 1.290* I went to buy the full power and it didn’t give it to me i redownloaded the game multiple times and still nothing ### 1/5 — In game purchases DELETED *2023-05-03, version 1.290* I spent money on this game and everything i bought vanished and wont restore. What a jip. ### 1/5 — Bad and how to improve *2023-01-07, version 1.290* I don’t like it because it has really bad graphics and u can barely kill anyone. I think you should put more graphics and pixels because I can’t see and the archers bow are really really hard to doge so I think it’s bad ### 1/5 — a game that hates itself *2021-07-21* -you are punished for using the main mechanic of the game, pushing enemies off the edge of the arena, because their drops fall too -frustrating: your character is extremely slow with no mobility moves, and half of the monsters’ main behavior is to run away from you -confusing menu UI with lots of buttons that aren’t intuitive -boring gameplay mechanics: the entire gameplay is walk up to enemy, press attack button, maybe they block it maybe they don’t. -terrible meta progression: extremely slow currency gain f2p, I quit before saving up 8.5k for the first non-tutorial upgrade that looked interesting -ZERO imagination: bland player character, bland gameplay, bland abilities -the bat boss (lvl 50?) finally made me delete the game. it’s impossible to tell where the bat hitboxes are since they are flying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-22, version 1.2983* Very fun not much more to say ### 5/5 — Best mobile game ever *2026-07-14, version 1.2983* I AM THE ONLY ONE ### 5/5 — Smsism *2026-07-12, version 1.2983* Very good ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-07-09, version 1.2983* I first played Only One more than a decade ago and still, this game is entertaining as ever ### 5/5 — Decade worth of enjoyment *2026-06-07, version 1.2983* One of the best most simple wonderfully fantastic video games I keep coming back to year after year ### 5/5 — W *2026-05-21, version 1.2983* Great ### 5/5 — W game *2026-05-06, version 1.2983* I loved this game for a while, and I'm glad that you fixed the joystick bug because now i can play without any issues ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-22, version 1.2980* No issues, been using the game for years as a way to kill time the skill gap is soo high so you need a lot of “cash” to level up and by the next area. ### 5/5 — Pepe *2026-04-19, version 1.2980* Popo ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-04-16, version 1.2980* Cool --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
