### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-05-26, version 1.3.2*

Pretty Addicting Can’t Lie

### 2/5 — Too many adds, can’t buy out

*2026-01-07, version 1.3.2*

There’s too many adds, and it kind of ruins playing it, especially in game when upgrading during a match. Sometimes it plays the add and doesn’t pause the game.  Make it so you can buy out of watching those stupid adds.

### 1/5 — Ad City

*2025-12-25, version 1.3.2*

Small note before the main deal, grammar is not good at all. Says “you are lose” when ad watching screws you over and makes you lose a game. 

Anywho, all of your weekly tasks will complete no problem with some effort in the game. However, the ad task will reset back so many times that it’s basically pointless to even try to do the weekly event tasks because you can’t actually complete the whole thing without that ad task each week. Crazy because this game is like 95% ads and that’s how they make their money, not like they need to screw players over for a little more ad revenue. 

Would not recommend feeding into watching ads for this game. I’d just close the game out every time an ad pops up without you intentionally wanting to watch an ad and if you hit a wall in game because you’re not watching ads to actually make progress in game then I’d uninstall it or not even install it in the first place if you don’t want ad simulator.

### 2/5 — Updating my old review

*2025-12-18, version 1.3.2*

The game is fun, but has a lot of issues, all tasks besides watching ads keep their progress which is ironic because of how many ads they make you watch anyways, you have to watch an ad in the middle of a game while your game is still playing which causes you to lose, retry, watch more ads, and also they have ads that take up plots to place your weapons that won’t go away unless you watch the ads for the weapons/plots 😂. Day 7 of the carnival is broken for me as well, there’s a red symbol signifying i can claim rewards from tasks fulfilled but it’s overlapped by a lock symbol and tells me to stay tuned when i try to open it. If you look at the developers games and all the reviews on them, there’s a recurring theme that their games run ads in the background and cause people’s devices to overheat. If they want to take this game more seriously than a quick cheap money trick id support it though. Enough of my super professional rant im gonna try and complete a level without turning my data off

### 5/5 — Addicting
