### 1/5 — LONG and FREQUENT ADS. greedy.

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.8*

^

### 1/5 — Ad free option?

*2026-04-11, version 1.0.7*

I can’t find a place to pay for an ad free version, is it not an option? It’s ruining the game experience I can’t stand ads and when I like the game I don’t mind spending that coin to actually experience the game. Please help

### 4/5 — 広告の配慮

*2026-02-15*

長いcmでも自分のタイミングで流せるならいいけど急に流れ出したら一気に冷める。
2.3分位の長いものだったからちょっとした空き時間に流れだすと困る。

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。15秒後には広告をスキップできるはずです。もしスキップできない場合は、support@frostypop.com までメールでお問い合わせください。調査させていただきます。レビューをいただき、ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — Yes

*2025-12-25, version 1.0.7*

Yes

### 1/5 — 2 minute ads

*2025-12-07, version 1.0.7*

Was interesting until unskippable 2 minute ads started playing every level after the 3rd stage

### 1/5 — Not working!!!! Dont get past the loading screen!

*2025-11-27, version 1.0.7*

It never loads to the game just shows purple background and spinning square

### 2/5 — Great game but crashing

*2025-11-21, version 1.0.7*

Really enjoyed the game, played from level 1 a few times to upgrade, but won’t load level 17 and just crashes out.

### 1/5 — Not working!!!!

*2025-11-16, version 1.0.7*

It never loads to the game just shows purple background and spinning square

### 1/5 — No Mac or tvOS support

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.7*

Unlike the previous Arcade edition, the developer was too lazy to spend the several hours (at most) to keep the Mac and tvOS versions around. Additionally, the ads in the free version of this game are aggressive and open the App Store even if you skip them.

### 5/5 — Otimo game

*2025-09-22*

Parabens aos desenvolvedores

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado!
