### 4/5 — Gems and ads

*2026-09-05, version 1.095*

This game is fun, but why such high points to get a gem? Also, do you really have to have ads after every play?

### 3/5 — Nothing Yet

*2026-08-31, version 1.094*

Don’t know enough about this game to comment intelligently. It is just a silly target game.

### 4/5 — Easy game

*2026-08-30, version 1.094*

The game is fun to play, but there are way too many ADS!

### 4/5 — Get rid of snake

*2026-08-28, version 1.094*

Get rid of the snake. I hate them. I will have to stop playing. I am on level 5644

### 3/5 — ADS IN GAME

*2026-08-26, version 1.094*

The game would be a lot more fun with out all the ads.  After each sphere you end, there’s an ad that is stupid that you HAVE to watch if you want to continue.  If I want to eliminate them I have to endure them.

### 3/5 — Last update, ick

*2026-08-25, version 1.094*

I’ve been playing this for several months. Until the last update I would have given it a 4 or 5 based on simple, fun game play. But the last update is plainly less fun to play.  The targets spin and gyrate too fast making aimed shots difficult if not sometimes impossible, the choice of the balls it gives are too often not the ones you need, and those miserable shields you have to shoot around or waste shots to break through are used way too often now. Of course you can always keep going by spending the special balls (which to me feels like cheating) but now you have to use them way too often. The things I mention - the targets moving too fast, the unhelpful selection of pearls and even the lousy shields - have always been part of the game but the developers have gone overboard on their use.  Making the game more irritating and frustrating does not make it better or more fun.

### 5/5 — Just fun

*2026-08-23, version 1.094*

If you like aim and shoot games, you will like this one. Challenging but simple. The game changes to keep your interest without requiring an encyclopedia to learn new rules. It’s not on a timer, so you can look up at the television and return without skipping a beat. It’s become one of my most popular go to games.

### 3/5 — No Snake!

*2026-08-22, version 1.094*

I have been playing this game for more than a year. Installed all updates and I don’t have the new feature with the snake. My wife downloaded the game and the snake is there. A new update is needed!

### 5/5 — Love it … but

*2026-08-22, version 1.094*

This is my go to game I play it several times a day. I on 32700 or so. But today the game changed to one where if you don’t destroy the snake it will bite your star. 
I hate games that threaten anything in any way. There is enough violence in the world I don’t want or need any form in my games I play to simply relax. If I continue to get this snake option I will delete the game. Yes to others it is over reaction but not to me! Others have not had my life experiences. There is no reason to add this inane type of element into this otherwise great game.

### 5/5 — Pearl gem

*2026-08-22, version 1.094*

Easy not a hack it is fun 
Save the planet

### 2/5 — Was great BEFORE the latest update

*2026-08-21, version 1.094*

Before the newest update, the “Warson Arc” where he stole the crystal, was super challenging! I always was rooting for it to happen cause I loved the challenge the normal levels didn’t really have!

But now? Now it’s almost exactly the same as the other levels: laughably easy!

Bring back the challenging levels! There’re awesome! Now? It almost makes me want to delete the app itself, cause there’s no REAL challenge anymore…

### 4/5 — Sympa

*2026-08-20*

Jeu sympathique, un peu de réflexion d’ adresse pour éliminer les boules.
Mais la publicité massive est exaspérante, donne envie de tout arrêter

### 3/5 — Ads are annoying

*2026-08-20, version 1.094*

It’s a really fun game to play, but the ads are annoying and the more you play the more they pop up. And it would be nice if the balls that you pop carryover to the next level. For instance, if you only needed 2000 to complete and get a gem but you earned 3500 then it’d be nice of that 1500 that you earned extra carried over.

### 5/5 — Five

*2026-08-19, version 1.094*

Stars

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-19, version 1.094*

This is the best animated game that actually makes you feel your talking to someone

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-08-17, version 1.094*

Amazing game! It would be great to see the saved  planets circling around in the last collection tab similar to the gems, ducks and stickers! Thank you

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-17, version 1.094*

Fun

### 1/5 — Very annoying

*2026-07-13, version 1.093*

I don’t hear any of the sound effects or music at all.   Sucks

*2026-08-27, version 1.094*

It’s very relaxing to me and then I get to chase the ducks and it’s a little bit of a challenge. Overall, one of my favorite after work brain vacations.
