### 1/5 — Don’t pay - it’s a Scam!

*2026-03-06, version 1.3*

Paying to turn ads off doesn’t them off! A total rip-off!!!

### 5/5 — Best developers

*2026-01-29*

I’m playing this game now in 2026, and it brings back so many memories of 2017. But I think nitrome should make more games, because they only have a few titles. But I think you should keep updating and making more games.

### 5/5 — How could you not want this?

*2025-04-24*

You got this little guy in purple ( not prince ) with his hat and red eyes holding two log firing pew pews. Sort of like a purple Undertaker and that is cool. You have to get used to the turn based style. But once you get it clicks. Sort of like playing guitar hero one day your hands just get it. No spoilers. Trust me will get sequel eventually. Going to check if you have anything similar. Very cool though.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-03-15, version 1.3*

Gameplay seems meh, but can’t get into it because even after paying, I still get extremely long ads every time I die. Don’t waste time or money on that kind of stuff.

### 1/5 — Need help on a level but there are no level markers

*2025-02-18, version 1.3*

Can’t seem to jump twice or stay on top of a zombie to get up to the next level. (Gltching)

No help online so I gave you one star, you’re already making new games and this one still needs improvement. 

Change my mind I’ll change the review

### 1/5 — Still have ads

*2025-02-15, version 1.3*

Fun little game…too many ads on free to play version so I payed the $3.99 to remove ads. Still have ads. No cool.

### 1/5 — Não é possível desligar o som

*2025-02-13*

No menu você consegue desligar o som, porem quando começa o jogo o som volta. Corrijam isso e darei nota 5, pois o jogo é bem legal.

### 2/5 — Turn undead monster hunter

*2025-02-11, version 1.3*

Controls very fiddly 👎

### 3/5 — Great concept, plagued with ads

*2025-02-10, version 1.3*

I wanted to like this, the simple puzzle mechanics are great. Way too many ad interruptions in the free version

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-02-08, version 1.3*

I was enjoying the game until I get an ad pop up after the last level. Then I get an ad after I die, way too many ads for me to enjoy the game!
