This app is not working
I like to listen to music or audio books. To even think about getting ahead you have to endure the loud sounds from ADS! Most ads now require you to listen. There is no “silent button”

Sold our data to Isr**l
Played this game for over a decade until they sold it to Isr*el along along with all my data. Severe disappointment.

Why did they do this?
Before being sold off to PlayTika, Seriously took the game, well, seriously. I have been playing this game since 2016 and when I hopped back on this year, I was disgusted at the new game, sure the gameplay is somewhat similar, but looking at the “art” it looks too weird and AI generated, let alone if you take a look at the previews above and compare it to the actual game, it is obvious that PlayTika has changed the game into a cash grab. It disgusts me how PlayTika went back on their words of independent development and ruined Best Fiends. I hope PlayTika rethinks their choices. I won’t come back until Best Fiends is brought Justice.

Demonic
Luke 11
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”
★★★★ TwentyFourHardcore 2/15/2026 v17.9.0
It’s all a scam
This game purposefully doesn’t let you complete levels until the game wants you to complete a level. The game is clearly fishing for you to feel compelled to dump money into it to progress. Could be a good game if it weren’t for greed.
★★★★ Alert mama 2/13/2026 v17.9.0
Game won’t load
I played this game for more than a year, and now it won’t load at all, I would love to be able to play it again

Rewards disappearing
Don’t bother trying to compete challenges. I completed the entire album and was supposed to get 75 minutes of mega blast as a reward. Timer ran out after only 15 minutes. Why bother?
★★★★★ Logan Donabedian 5/1/2026 v18.4.0
It’s cute but stupid
Some of the levels I can’t even beat because they’re really too hard but some level just give me a free win so thank you for the free ones but you’re kind of stupid making some of the levels kind of impossible and yeah, guys are cute except the guy you start with that has the yellow blocks. It’s just really stupid how some of the levels are literally impossible for me impossible and yeah, you heard that it’s literally just really really really cute but really really really stupid it’s basically really cute mixed with really stupid and the boss fights. I need literally every single power for the boss fights to beat so yeah whoever made this game out I would look at you then I will karate chop you in your break your arm.
★★★★★ makalah fishburn 3/29/2026 v18.2.0
pop ups
i am becoming super annoyed with getting timed gifts to use in games just for the pop ups to take up half of the time in which i can use the power-up gifted to me. i’m on level 1396 and have been playing this game for YEARS, and yet this issue is still annoying me. PLEASE either make every pop up immediately skippable OR make the gifted power-ups a certain amount of uses rather than certain amount of time.
★★★★★ Sally game for fun 3/15/2026 v18.1.0
Not much fun to play anymore
This game used to be a lot of fun but now they “allow” you to win a game or two before making you lose in order for you to pay or use gold for extra moves. It’s just boring.

★★★★★ virinervo26 2/22/2026 v18.0.0
It’s ok
Basic game, it has so many windows you need to close before playing each time you open the game. Is actually ridiculous.
