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. ### 3/5 — Gold coins disappear on their own *2020-11-01* Why does the gold keep disappearing on its own whenever I am not playing??? ### 4/5 — Игра неплохая *2019-07-23* Игра действительно не плохая,НО 1. Скучновато просто стрелять в противников,можно сделать больше карт? 2. Очень странно то,что за двойное убийство даётся ОДНА монета? 3. Очень бесит ,что вдруг появляется реклама и когда приходит время «нажать на крестик» то реклама не убирается.очень хочется ,чтобы вы это исправили. В целом игра очень не плохая. А ещё очень хотелось бы ,чтобы можно было играть с другими,РЕАЛЬНЫМИ игроками,но чтобы без интернета возможность играть осталась. Большое спасибо ! ### 4/5 — Crashes and refusals to load *2019-07-07* A great game, but the restore purchase function didn’t work after I bought a new iPad. Not cool! Please lose the gushing blood - it demeans the game. ### 4/5 — Bien *2019-06-30* Assez répétitif ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2019-05-12, version 1.1.5* ME TIENE ENGANCHADO!! ### 3/5 — I keep losing my upgrades *2019-04-05* I keep losing my upgrades when I shutdown. ### 3/5 — Bien *2019-04-05* Plutôt bien, assez répétitif, de nouveaux décors au bout de certains score seraient agréables ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2019-03-02* It’s so good but maybe put more upgrades.. ok what I mean is there’s not to much to do in the game so maybe add more stuff ok otherwise it’s good ### 4/5 — Accattivante *2019-01-11, version 1.1.4* Gioco semplice ma che prende fin dal primo minuto. Gira in maniera fluida su iPad 2 pro e iPhone X. Non si possono salvare i progressi di gioco e quindi si ricomincia da capo ad ogni partita. Alcuni proiettili sono molto pirotecnici ma poco utili. Nemmeno a pagamento si possono comprare equipaggiamenti superiori ad un certo limite massimo, quindi una volta raggiunta una certa quantità di potenziatori, non resta che tentare di superare il proprio record senza aiuti ulteriori. ### 5/5 — Catapult *2018-12-17* What a great game!! I have been at it for hours and it doesn’t get old. Well done on this app! Very well designed. Thanks a lot. ### 3/5 — REGULAR *2018-11-18, version 1.1.4* ES MEJOR THE ARCHERS ### 3/5 — Full timepass *2018-09-28* Ok ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No ads *2023-05-21* Please add ads back to the game so you can earn double coins. progress is impossible without it ### 1/5 — The catapult *2020-03-12* I agree it is impossible to defeat the anybody in this game you could have all the upgrades and still be killed by a single arrow piece of crap ### 1/5 — 50 is impossible *2019-02-21* Every time I get to 50 kills this indestructible thing DESTROYS my castle and I can’t destroy it it just runs into my castle and destroys it how are you supposed to get past it UGH ### 1/5 — Unfair *2019-01-05, version 1.1.4* The computer is unfair ### 1/5 — Why Upgrade??? *2018-12-20* What’s the point of upgrading ur catapult or putting helmets on ur soldiers? I have a double catapult almost fully upgraded and my soldiers are wearing siege helmets, I can still be killed with the first shot of the game. I can fire rocks and have them stopped cold by the tiniest catapult. Also why is my fire stone just rolling off the boss canon without setting it on fire? I’ve blasted away the metal reinforcement and it’s just wood. Getting bored Seriously a waste of time...Fully upgraded and killed by a single stone....Have the reflective shield around my catapult, steel ball goes right thru the shield and destroys my catapult I’ve confirmed now, when projectiles ignore the islands they also ignore any shields. You guys aren’t really good at this are you? The game plays like something made by a 5 year old... ### 1/5 — Why are there so much glitches... *2018-07-20, version 1.0.9* What are you talking about, this games doo doo ### 1/5 — No updates *2018-07-07, version 1.0.9* Last time this game was updated 3m ago...a lot of coins we dont have on what to spend ### 1/5 — HACKER 🚨 *2018-05-06* When I get to like when 2 characters attack the come on area that I can’t shoot because it’s to high please reply and say you will fix this because I lost many time because of thisD: ### 1/5 — Annoying at times *2018-04-08, version 1.0.9* Annoying due to enemy catapults can fire through islands/bases and my catapult shots are blocked. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Unfair advantage *2018-03-25, version 1.0.9* The computer has the unfair advantage of shooting through lands, whereas if there is one land in front of another there is no way the player to shoot through. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Number 1 here *2024-10-25* Just took the number one spot on most consecutive kills globally! Woo hoo!! -Ahh Schniggles ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2023-08-23, version 1.1.5* So good it makes me feel I’m in a fair shooting water guns please reply ### 5/5 — Number 1 here *2022-04-19, version 1.1.5* Just took the number one spot on most consecutive kills globally! Woo hoo!! -Ahh Schniggles ### 5/5 — Çakma *2022-01-23, version 1.1.5* Çakma ama olsun yinede. Güzel çakma olduğundan emindeğilim galiba çakma ### 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. ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2020-10-20* Save coins from the begining of game always watch ad for 2xcoins then buy the best force field first. Have fun and notice the single trebuchet earns 3x coins per kill ### 5/5 — Pişman olmazsınız *2020-03-27, version 1.1.5* Çok keyifli, zorluk derecesi iyi ayarlanmış, reklamı az bir oyun. Tavsiye ediyorum ### 5/5 — Es: *2019-06-25, version 1.1.5* El mejor juego que he tenido. Sin duda.💯😶 ### 5/5 — The catapult *2019-06-07* The double catapult should be less expensive instead --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
