### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-07-25*

### 5/5 — Great game. Reminds me of StarCraft UMS maps

*2026-06-01*

Alot of fun. Unable to click on diamonds and spend resources though. Unsure what I’m missing out on.

**Developer response:** Thank you for fixing the issue! The problem has been resolved, and I can use the shop again without any trouble. I appreciate the quick fix and support. Great game!

### 5/5 — 진짜 재밌어요

*2026-01-19*

스타 헬포디하다가 모바일엔 없나해서 찾아봤더니 이런게 있었네요
진짜 재밌게 하고있고 개발자님 더 잘됐으면 좋겠네요. 카드 리롤할때 다른거 같이 선택되는 버그가 있어요!
그리고 확률 좀 높여주세요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 너무 어려워요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — 이어하기 시 돋보기 능력 사라짐 이슈

*2025-10-20*

안녕하세요 재밌게 플레이하고 있습니다. 
이어하기 기능 덕분에 편리하게 잘 즐기고 있습니다만,
돋보기를 가진 상태로 이어하기를 하면 사거리증가 0.5가 사라집니다. 문제 확인후 수정 부탁드립니다!

### 1/5 — 보석 사용처 좀 늘려주세요

*2025-09-03*

유물을 뽑던 뭘하던 좀 늘려주세요

### 5/5 — 중독성 미쳐따..!!

*2025-08-15*

출퇴근길에 하면 시간 순삭이고 빠르게 도착하는 효과를 볼 수 있움,,그래픽도 귀엽고 중독성 대박적..자기 전에는 하면 안될듯..? 잠 못잘 수도

### 5/5 — 한 번 시작하면 헤어나올 수 없는 게임

*2025-08-14*

이건 진짜 중독 그 자체입니다.
카드 한 장 뽑을 때마다 터지는 도파민이 미쳤고, 난이도별로 클리어 할 수 있는 맵이 있고 랭크 시스템이 있는데 라운드가 거듭 될수록 플레이가 점점 정교해져서 손에서 놓을 수가 없습니다. 단순히 카드만 뽑는 게임이 아니라, 시너지 조합과 컨트롤까지 요구돼서 머리도 쓰고 손맛도 살아있죠.
랭크 시스템 라운드가 올라갈수록 난이도와 짜릿함이 동시에 치솟아 “이번엔 여기까지” 가 안되는 마성의 게임입니다. 목표는 점점 높아지고 유저들과 순위 경쟁할 수 있는게 한 눈에 들어와 성취감이 폭발합니다. 한 번 시작하면 시간 순삭, 눈 깜빡하면 새벽입니다… 
이건 단순한 게임이 아니라, 끝없는 도전입니다. 여러분도 도전해 보세요

### 5/5 — 뭐지 이게임… 중독성미쳣어요 재밋어요

*2025-08-11*

뇌빼고 깔아서 시작해봣는데 중독성 미쳣어요 꼭해보세요
