### 1/5 — OMG NO!

*2023-01-07, version 7.0*

Too many! Adds! I loss so many times and EVERY 5 SECONDS NO CAP IT PUTS ON AN ADD!! JUST STAWP! THIS IS WHY YOU GOT MANY POOR REVIEWS!! 😡😡

### 1/5 — Fix the ads..

*2022-12-12, version 7.0*

I thought this was a fun concept and I usually don’t mind ads. The problem with the ads in this game is the game continues when the ad plays. It doesn’t pause the game for you so when I finish the 2+ ads, I’ve lost. If I get 2 ads per a try or the game at least pauses for me when the ads pop up, i could change my star rating to be a 2-3. For now, bogus.

### 1/5 — The worst game and most ads I played

*2022-12-08, version 7.0*

I started this game yesterday but all of a sudden a lot of ads showed up +I hate ads then I died I did it again and it keeps doing it so today Quit the game!

### 1/5 — Adds

*2022-12-02, version 7.0*

I wanted to play but every time i click i get an add

### 1/5 — Missed Opportunity

*2022-11-26, version 7.0*

Half of the game is just ads, like how desperate for money are you. You just accepted company after company to put ads in your game so now it’s just an ad at every turn

### 1/5 — Cant even play.

*2022-11-26, version 7.0*

If I could I would put hate a star because there’s to many adds and it really laggy cant even get past one person without an add making me die. This game is 100 percent not worth it.

### 5/5 — In love

*2022-11-23, version 7.0*

Even though there are some adds is still a super super fun game

### 1/5 — Ads

*2022-11-10, version 7.0*

Ads ads ads ads ads. This app is no game, it’s an app for advertising with a fun mini game that pops up every time u watch an ad. It’s ok tho, the mini game only lasts 10 seconds, so u can go straight to ur ad viewing again ! 😁🤦

### 1/5 — There are so many ads its just unplayable

*2022-10-30, version 7.0*

^

### 1/5 — Okay…

*2022-10-29, version 7.0*

Now when I start to play there’s an ad but when I catch a guy trying to kill me an ad pops up then it makes me wait and my guy dies it’s annoying!!!!!
