Đm game thuần bate xong mẹ nv r đéo cho nhận 10kc

### 2/5 — Issue with closing out AD's

*2026-08-24, version 13.3.1*

The game is super good, but lately I've been having this issue where ads never bring up the ability to close out of them making it so I have to close out of the app every single time.. This means anytime I beat a level, have to watch an ad for a reward, or something like that I just lose out on the reward even if I watch the full ad. If this gets fixed it would be a 5 stars from me.

### 5/5 — We want Rome!

*2026-08-24, version 13.3.1*

And sky city

### 5/5 — 1 game

*2026-08-24, version 13.3.1*

This game is very fun if you replace the music with Astro Bot’s. Thank you for everything! I’m your major fan!!!You’re the best!!!!!

### 2/5 — Pay to win

*2026-08-23, version 13.3.1*

This game had SO much potential but EA decided to make it pay to win. Amazing gameplay, just way too pay to win.. most of the plants cost more than 5 dollars. This game is just money hungry. Recommend if you don’t care about the purchases

### 4/5 — Propose

*2026-08-23, version 13.3.1*

At least players should choose whether to play the tutorial or not. As soon as you enter the game, it is an endless tutorial. People have no patience to play.

### 1/5 — It won’t let me play

*2026-08-23, version 13.3.1*

The game keeps freezing when I try to join and then kicked me out of the game.
