### 5/5 — Loved to play this game

*2022-01-17*

Best game

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER! p.s. I love Minecraft and Block tech sandbox 2 percent more

*2021-09-26*

Best game no ads with me nor glitches and love the power-ups/special rocks, but, the next catapult kind costs way to much:999 and the last form costs:4999 so, to overpriced and make more power-ups the current ones are pretty weak against the bosses and also all devices work great for the game! I also agree with qaux 13.

### 4/5 — Love it!!!

*2021-02-15*

Love the game. It IS totally addicting. But I don’t know how many guys I have to destroy before I go to a new pattern. The only way to continue is to rewind. Don’t know if that’s how the game is or what. But totally love the game. If I can figure that out I would give you five stars.
