### 4/5 — Good game…too many ads

*2026-08-15, version 1.6.3*

Yup. I said it

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-07-26, version 1.5.6*

Super good game

### 5/5 — How to farm gems

*2026-07-18, version 1.5.6*

Make sure your internet/cellular is on, then go into an early level where the enemies die in a few hits and kill 15 enemies. Leave and there should be a gift box to open w/ ads on top of the top right building. This is because the gift boxes spawn every 15 kills. If you want you can use this to farm cars at the demolition building and take damage in the level so you can heal at the restaurant and gain xp.

### 5/5 — The coolest 2 button game

*2026-07-10, version 1.5.6*

If you enjoy being productive with your fingers and wanting to lay down and have fun, while wanting to strategize and use your brain, this game is for you! The enemies require strategy on what button combos to do, while being lay back and chill, all you need to get far is strategy and brains

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-07-04, version 1.5.6*

Played the game on Apple Arcade and it was the best version 
Spend the money and it is a better experience

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-06-20, version 1.5.6*

A great game to play when I’m bored and have nothing else to do very fun

### 1/5 — Ads Ruined the Game

*2026-06-10, version 1.5.6*

This game used to have my heart because of the lack of forced Ads, but it has evolved into a mess of a game that tried to force you to play PPKP+. I really didn't mind the ads until i had a pop up ad completely cover the exit button in the game. UNINSTALL

### 4/5 — One of my FAVORITE games

*2026-06-01, version 1.5.6*

…i just wish I could finish it!!!  Every time I change my phone, the save gets drained, and there’s no way to put the save data in the cloud!!  Please fix this issue!!!

### 5/5 — Love it. Tiny problem.

*2026-04-19, version 1.5.6*

I am stuck on the loading screen. Reset connection, switched it off, restarted game to no avail. I am also on the latest version.

Love how it’s retro. Love how it’s offline. Love how it’s fun. Beat it twice already. Great game.

### 5/5 — Retro fun

*2026-04-01, version 1.5.6*

This is like my childhood beat em game. So nostalgic. I wish there were more games like this. Thanks for the good job.
