### 2/5 — Abusive ads

*2025-10-30, version 1.3.0*

"Watch an ad or pay 15 coind to keep going" okay, no thanks *clicks x* then gives an ad ANYWAYS??? If I clicked x it's because I didn't want to spend the next 30 seconds looking ar some silly advertisement! It's like if you went to mcdonald's, and they said "want a combo for 3 dollars extra?" And you said no thanks, and they charged you 3$ anyways!! There's no point in asking!! Disrespectful. Love the game, but wont play it sorry. Maybe if they fixed that. This is giving me orwell's 1984 vibes..

Sucks bc I used to play this game as a teen, I remember way less ads..

### 2/5 — Needs Option to Remove Ads

*2024-09-25, version 1.3.0*

Great game, but add show up WAY too often. Give us an option to pay for ad free!!

### 2/5 — outdated

*2024-06-18, version 1.3.0*

This game is past its prime… It’s entertaining for about 10 minutes only

### 4/5 — Awesome Ninja is glitched

*2024-05-20, version 1.3.0*

Great game, but using Awesome Ninja’s ability usually results in me either getting stuck in the environment, or I will just start falling through an empty black void. Great game otherwise, would be nice if i could use the character I spent 1500 coins on tho.

### 4/5 — Update?

*2024-02-16, version 1.2.5*

I’ve been playing it for a couple of years, I was wondering if there’s gonna be any updates on the game? I’m playing on the 13 pro- score screen is kinda hard to see.

### 4/5 — Good game. Can you update a couple things?

*2023-10-29, version 1.2.5*

Can you update so that I can see my score on my iPhone 14 pro? The dinic island covers the score.
Also it takes forever to collect coins for each character. Can you lower the amount of coins needed for each character

### 2/5 — Управление гов*а поело.

*2022-08-07*

Свайп вверх для прыжка, в такой динамичной игре? 
Идите в пень, заебло на айфоне нижнюю штору вызывать вместо прыжка. 
Что мешал сделать прыжок просто тапом по экрану? Большой мозг, вестимо...

### 5/5 — Très bien mais j’ai trouver un glitch

*2022-03-12*

Avec le skateur si tu prends un tuyau qui mène nul part tu saute sur le vide

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-12-21, version 1.2.5*

Amazing Game get it rn

### 5/5 — Thank You Nitrome!

*2021-11-08, version 1.2.5*

I love your great games. They are retro and that’s what I like about it

### 5/5 — Questo è il mio primo gioco che ho giocato nelle mia vita

*2021-08-29, version 1.2.5*

Questo è il mio primo gioco che ho giocato nella mia vita!! Bella grafica. Ottimi personaggi. Bisogna aggiungere il multiplayer. Gioco fantastico 🤗😊😎 lo consiglio a tutti!

### 5/5 — New character idea

*2021-07-27, version 1.2.5*

Maybe you could add a new character I think the bot that is in the cover of the game is a nice character he is going to cost 950 coins and the ability is that he is inmune to other robot enemies. Hope you like my idea I will be waiting for to reply bye.

### 5/5 — Freshnesss

*2020-11-29, version 1.2.5*

This game is awesome! Nothing wrong with it and its good ! Oh also can you some characters some powerups like since rosy cheeks boy was used to be a dragon can you make it like when you upgraded him he could breath fire please make and this game awsomeeee oh and in one of the stages i ths big panicbot and i was hoping every tenth level like 10 20 30 40 you add a giant panic bossfight and bomb you could throw bombs to the robot. Bye and thanks! Sincerely, jj

### 2/5 — Not optimized for iPhone X

*2020-10-13, version 1.2.5*

Hands down my favourite iPhone game from Nitrome! I loved this game for so many years. The only thing that sticks out pretty badly is that the score above the screen doesn’t properly display itself because it gets cut off on account of the bigger display. I would love to see this get fixed!

### 4/5 — Good but...

*2020-09-02, version 1.2.5*

Please make more updates I’m sick of jumping around and collecting coins, maybe a online update so we can race each other .

And plz make more challenges and robots to dodge maybe a boss fight? ANYTHING!

### 5/5 — Lol

*2020-08-30, version 1.2.5*

### 5/5 — Oo

*2020-05-24, version 1.2.5*

### 1/5 — Schade

*2025-07-27, version 1.3.0*

Ich geben zu , es gab ein kommentar der mich gelockt hat das spiel zu versuchen ( es gibt einen kleinen metroid ) aber ich bin auf grund der steuerung nicht dorthin gekommen … die steuerung ist ( meine Meinung) nicht schõn , ich würde gern selber entscheiden wann ich laufe und wann nicht. Aber sonst vom Design her ? Super !! Sehr schöne Grafik.

Trotzdem wünsche ich dem entwicklerstudio , weiterhin erfolg🖤

### 1/5 — Bug riddled game

*2025-01-25, version 1.3.0*

I loved this game but now it’s riddled with bugs.

- The ‘Remove ads button’ doesn’t actually remove any ads (even after charging you for it!)
- The ‘Remove ads button’ doesn’t get ‘disabled’ after you make a purchase, allowing you to make duplicate purchases.
- You can’t get a refund for any in-app purchases 
- Watching an ad to get another try still takes 15 coins!!

Taking an indefinite break from Nitrome games.

### 1/5 — Dbfvuwhebfviuhwbed

### 1/5 — Так себе

*2020-01-09*

### 1/5 — A good game but there is one issue

*2019-03-06, version 1.2.5*

I love the game, but the only issue I have with it is that my progress is never saved. I upgrade them or buy new people and I exit the game and reopen it and I don’t have the upgrade anymore

### 1/5 — İğrenç bi oyun

*2016-03-16, version 1.2.2*

Constant barrage of ads make it unplayable. Removal of ad fee is twice the standard amount.  Oh well.
