Ads at the the beginning and at the end but gave you a choice between a reward with an ad or not P.S. Still gives you an ad. Also they make it so Hard, literally no one I knew who tried could get past level one!! ### 2/5 — Ads! *2026-08-22, version 300000.13.12* To many adds ### 2/5 — Exceso de anuncios *2026-08-22, version 300000.13.12* Cada que pierdes te pone un anuncio y no son cortos, deberian colocar los anuncion almenos cada 3 o 4 veces que pierdas ### 2/5 — Age rating is bad! *2026-08-20, version 300000.13.11* This is such a nice game, but it doesn’t not deserve to be 13+. I think it deserves to be 4+, because of its simplicity. ### 3/5 — Aaaaddddddssss… but fun *2026-08-17, version 300000.13.11* Aaaadddddddddddddsssss ### 2/5 — Add music *2026-08-17, version 300000.13.11* I saw a add for this game that said the more you go up the crazier the music get I went to level 20 and didn’t hear any music beside the stupid calming music the make you sleepy so you lose quicker ADD MUSIC OR I WILL REPORT THE GAME ### 4/5 — Game is good *2026-08-15, version 300000.13.11* This game actually plays I exactly like what the ad shows and it’s actually fun. This is a good game. ### 3/5 — Just call it ad simulator *2026-08-15, version 300000.13.11* I get like ads every time I pop the ballon or whatever it’s very frustrating ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-08-15, version 300000.13.11* Too many ads and hard levels ### 1/5 — It looked fun but *2026-08-14, version 300000.13.11* So I searched up No Add Games and this came up And being completely honest this is the second worst game for the add problem there is a add every single time you die and it’s very difficult so I die A LOT unlike the adds which look easy ### 3/5 — too many ads *2026-08-14, version 300000.13.11* game is fun but WAY to many ads for it to be entertaining for longer than 5 minutes ### 2/5 — Eh *2026-08-14, version 300000.13.11* Good game, 10x to many ads, would have played it forever without ads. ### 3/5 — Fun, but I have one problem. *2026-08-13, version 300000.13.11* I know the app has to have adds to stay free, but having adds every time you lose or with almost every action you make seems a bit excessive. If I would have known about all the adds, I would not waste my time downloading the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-25, version 300000.13.12* Good game until it became popular cant go one minute without 2 minuet ad 1 star ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-24, version 300000.13.12* So many add 👎👎👎👎👿😡 ### 1/5 — terrible *2026-08-23, version 300000.13.12* this game is not fun and is ruined by every aspect of advertisement ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-23, version 300000.13.12* Ads to many ### 1/5 — To fast *2026-08-22, version 300000.13.12* Every time the balloon goes to fast or to slow make a speed button and a slow button, zero stars ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-08-21, version 300000.13.12* So like every 2 seconds there is a ad😤😤😤😤😤😤 ### 1/5 — Game don’t load *2026-08-17, version 300000.13.11* I got the game and it was really good then after a bit it just didn’t load I would go on one the game and the loading bar would just be stuck. I tried deleting and reinstalling and after one go it happened again so I tried again and the same thing just kept happening. ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-17, version 300000.13.11* Много рекламы ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-08-16, version 300000.13.11* I died and it gave Mae 4 ads ### 1/5 — Games fine, too many ads *2026-08-15, version 300000.13.11* WAY too many adds in this game like one every 5-10 rounds I get but it’s literally after every single round and it’s unbearable to play unless you pay for premium which is also insane ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peak Nostalgia *2026-08-26, version 300000.13.12* First played this back in 2017.

GAME. EVER. *2026-08-12, version 300000.13.11* OMG THIS APP IS AMAZING, I told my family abt it to and now 5 of my cousins play it, 5 may not seem like a lot, but hey, you wouldn’t have got those 5 players if it wasn’t for me lol. I see a lot of people writing reviews saying “no more adds” or “whether I click on continue or no thanks I still get an add” but I don’t mind the adds, I just think of it as the app giving my fingers a break, and I’m a pretty patient person so the adds don’t get me annoyed as much as they would for other people. I like how it’s challenging but fun. I think I’m obsessed. ### 5/5 — Satisfying *2026-08-12, version 300000.13.11* This Game is So Satisfying, I Would Like the Balloon Like in This App! This Game is So Satisfying and Great! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-11, version 300000.13.11* It is challenging, but the music. It’s really good. I’ve been playing for about seven years. Really like it. Keep it up. The only problem is it has too much act. ### 5/5 — ads are fine for me *2026-08-11, version 300000.13.11* Just exit off the app and get back on it, its easy and I also love the game, suggest fewer ads tho! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
