Latest Update Bugs
The last update with the pet system implemented has seriously devalued the game. There are multiple bugs which cost you resources points and rewards. They’ve also made visual changes that have been OK, but have shrunk the writing for the power up chest to the point where you have to guess at what it says. Overall if things don’t change/get fixed, I know I’ll stop playing and probably others as well.
Was really good
I never leave reviews, but developers please change the ui in game back. The new one is so damn cartoony I hate it. I been playing this game for months but dude this is really ruining it for me
Completely p2w now
New update removed the ability to buy keys with gems essentially removing your ability to upgrade.
DO NOT PLAY THIS ITS NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE

Recent updates
Since the latest update- they scaled all the stages difficulty- like from 60k to 2million!! TF I spent money on this and suddenly that scale it soooo horribly wrong. I won’t be playing anymore.
ya no
my power in this game was set back significantly, like genuinely i had passed so many levels with the correct level it needed, new update set me back nearly 10 levels, was my favorite game but now what's the point 👎👎👎
Buggy buggy ads
There are SO many ads, they are SO long and SO buggy. The game is designed so you can spend much more time watching ads than playing. Really horrible.
Ads
The actual gameplay is decent but the amount of ads you have to watch is ridiculous
New update
Can’t understand the language in the new update. I chose english but still it’s in chinese. The game is fun but I’m forced to uninstall.
This is a joke
I recently downloaded this game because it seemed fun and I can confirm that this app does nothing but try to force you to watch ads. I could not even complete the first level without clicking any of the buttons that say watch additional ad. If I use the basic power ups and try to beat the first level, I cannot do it. It took me having to watch two ads to be able to complete the first level. I attempted this at least 15 to 20 times. What a joke of a game if new players cannot even beat the first level without being forced to watch ads to gain enough power to progress, absolute joke. I am going to delete. I even tested this and had my wife download the app and do the same thing. I was attempting try to beat the first level without watching any ads and she too, was unable to do this absolute would not recommend one star about to delete as soon as I post this review.
Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads
Have you ever wanted to play a game that the only way to win any level is to watch 5-6 ads??? WELL THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU. It will purposely make you lose to have you watch an ad. Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads DID I SAY AD YET????
Screw this game

Don’t update!
Unless you know the language, don’t update. My game was in English and now I can’t understand any of the game or where to switch it back to English. It also looks like I may have lost a bunch of stamina chests I had been saving after I updated.
You broke it for me
This game has taken up a majority of my time, and I love playing it. But since the update, you made the buttons on the side of the screen smaller for some reason. My screen is broken on the side, so now I can’t click anything on the left side of the screen. Is there anyway you can restore the side buttons to their original size?
No update notification
I have been playing everyday and didn’t get a notice to update the game until the LAST hour. I have even checked the store page itself a few times just incase throughout the month.
Greediest devs, must avoid
Ads everywhere, game is basically an ad simulator with game breaks. Many core event features are locked behind ads and forced payments. They spam you with popups to buy their slop and scale difficulty expecting you to watch ads to beat levels. Play this if you want to support greedy freaks.
New update ruined game
The new update lowered skill level and put up more paywalls and ads.
Predatory ad farm
Impossible to do anything in the game without watching a ton of ads, and each ad is incredibly long while having a worthless mini game tacked on. Just play something else.
No longer works after update
Game no longer works after update. Can’t get past loading screen.
V3.4 broken
1 star. The latest update broke the game. I updated through the app store, but the game still insists I need to update and won’t let me proceed. The update prompt is mandatory, so I can’t play at all. This is a game-breaking bug that should have been caught before release.
Fun game but
But I hate the clicking Every Time you touch anything. Fricking annoying, whoever decided that should be a thing in games without the option to just turn off the GD clicking noise, should be fired. You get to play about 6 rounds, which won’t take you more than 30 minutes to blow through, before you are out of energy and have to watch a ForEver ad just for 3 more rounds. I want to play this game more but the ad reward and energy cooldown vs play time SUCK!
Game is in permanent Chinese language.
The game is stuck in the Chinese language. I tried to change language to “English” and the box becomes checked for English language. Yet every word in the game is still in Chinese. What is wrong with this
Update
Removed the ability to buy red keys with gems after a limit. Why?
Great game
I really used to love this game but the new update I really don’t like it. I used to play the coin levels 20 times a day or close to it bc that was the limit and now the new limit is cut in half to only 10? And the new update just makes the home screen look way too busy. Please change it back to how it was.
Heavy on ads
You have to use ads to progress stuff, after a while you get stronger but on the side missions you have to do ads or else it is impossible. Extremely annoying when you’ve already watched so many ads and then one ad crashes making it the game registering you gave up.
Greed
This game is fun at first but they are extremely greedy. You can NOT play the game without watching 5+ ads per battle (literally about 1/2 watching ads 1/2 playing the game). Ratings saying this game doesn’t have too many ads are probably bots. Later in the game you can only progress with significant ingame purchases.
Was fun until…
It forced me to update so I did. Now it demands an update despite being updated. Sucks. I was enjoying the game. Fix it and I’ll update review.
