Too many glitches

Such a fun puzzle game but it glitches and crashes way too often especially when you get into higher levels

More content

I would love to see more content added to endless like weapons, enemies, etc. but since that’s extremely unlikely I’ll have to look for another game. It’s a shame though, because even with the relatively little content this game has, years later I still really enjoy playing it.

Too many ads - great game

This game is really good, but 30 second adds every level or so is just horrible to get into the game and have fun. It feels like this is an ad machine
