Very enjoy. Keeps me company even when I sprain my ankle. Only problem is that the translation sometimes doesn’t work but that’s okay. Still very enjoy. ### 5/5 — is cool *2026-01-22, version 4.8.4* fun ### 2/5 — Ads not working *2026-01-03, version 4.8.4* Would be nice if ads started working again ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2025-12-28, version 4.8.4* The game is fun. ### 5/5 — :) *2025-12-19, version 4.8.4* Love this game! ### 3/5 — Can’t watch adds *2025-12-12, version 4.8.4* Missing out on a lot of coins ### 5/5 — Dope *2025-12-12, version 4.8.4* Very addictive yo.... ### 2/5 — Irritating *2025-11-22, version 4.8.4* The game constantly crashes. They give you gems and coins if you watch an ad but the ads either don’t show or close out the game. The endless mode no longer gives you the chance to retry anymore. The app is in serious need of an update ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-02, version 4.8.4* Ads not working which is disappointing ### 4/5 — ALMOST perfect. *2025-10-30, version 4.8.4* Remove the energy requirement just to play and it’d be perfect. It’s so infuriating to be deep into a game session and have to stop because you run out of energy. Make it an option to pay for the game and remove it if you must, developer. ### 5/5 — good *2025-10-26, version 4.8.4* very nice ### 5/5 — Laggy *2025-10-25, version 4.8.4* Great game.. no ads is worth it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-01, version 4.8.4* I paid 9.99 for ad removal and it still does not work. I continue to receive ads. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-04-08, version 4.8.4* As filled garbage. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — In app purchases don’t work. *2026-04-06, version 4.8.4* This has been my time waster game for years now. Ads didn’t work for a while, but now Ads are now playing multiple times. Making the game unplayable. I broke and purchased the no ads in app purchase for 9.99. I seem to get more, and longer ads now. Sometimes the same ad will play 4-5 times back to back. Each being 30 seconds or more. I tried the feedback button in settings and got a blank screen. Clicking the support button in the App Store brought me to a Chinese site. Found a support email and emailed them, but got no response yet. I’ll complain to apple soon and ask for a refund. No response from the developer. Asked for refund from apple. I’m disappointed. ### 1/5 — Help! *2025-12-05, version 4.8.4* Why can’t I restore the purchase to remove the ads permanently because I can’t restore them? I see the Network permissions may not be activated and I go to settings and if everything is activated ### 1/5 — Ads don’t work *2025-12-02, version 4.8.4* Ads have stopped working because the game is so old ### 1/5 — Game isn’t working *2025-11-22, version 4.8.4* Game isn’t working ### 1/5 — NO SAVE DATA 🤦‍♂️ *2025-11-08, version 4.8.4* I changed phones when my old iphone died and lost all my game data, id been playing for well over a year. not really worth the effort or time when you lose everything when your phone breaks even though its backed up on icloud. update: now after around 6 years of play and after starting over several times, i have had to pay for add free each time. it’s annoying that my data doesn’t save and i lose my “zero adds” privileges every time i have to start over. there hasn’t been an update for years and this is a great game! surely the developers should be able to fix this or at least offer som form of compensation/gift for the lack of ability to save and the lack of updates. super cool game, super annoying to have no solid data save or regular bug fixes. 5 star game 1 star service ### 1/5 — Can’t watch videos *2025-11-07, version 4.8.4* Great game but there are way too many problems ### 1/5 — Videos won’t play *2025-10-03, version 4.8.4* Cannot play videos to get diamonds or bonus $ Lame. ### 1/5 — Need to fix *2025-09-19, version 4.8.4* It has been 2 months now and this game has no longer giving me the option to collect gems as videos are not available. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2026-05-01, version 4.8.4* So first win every level I get you can only like revive ones but I can I still die but when I die I can revive but then I just get an ad but here’s exciting part I get more and more viruses Mortem or new and I might download the download this game again and like play all the stuff again and I’m like so happy about it like all the viruses the shape you’re not supposed to like make the viruses touch the blue thing ball and that I’m gonna say like I like this game so bye (: ### 5/5 — Fun! Hard Game! *2026-04-22, version 4.8.4* Great game! It’s very hard to advance to the higher lvls.. which I like 🥸👍 ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-04-14, version 4.8.4* Great game! Keeps my mind busy ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-09, version 4.8.4* Fun ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-05, version 4.8.4* Great game ### 5/5 — :) *2026-03-31, version 4.8.4* Awesome ### 5/5 — I’ve been playing for years *2026-03-26, version 4.8.4* Definitely entertaining ### 5/5 — Note for the creator. *2026-02-26, version 4.8.4* I loved this game when I was younger. Please add more sound effects like Inflator sounding like a balloon inflating, and Detonator’s explosion not sounding like a fart and more like an actual explosion. And please add a simulation in the Viruspedia. Please and thank you. 😊 ### 5/5 — This game was so good…AND IT STILL IS *2026-02-18, version 4.8.4* I played this game when I was like five and somehow when I 68 reinstalled the game and reached level 146 that was kind of a hurdle for me. I ignored the game but now after five years, I reinstalled it again and now it’s unstoppable level 146 here I come ### 5/5 — Virus war *2026-02-04, version 4.8.4* Addictive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
