Hope you don’t like the game too much 🙄
I hope you don’t like the game too much because you’ll never get to play it. No matter what button you push you will get an ad not only that, but will the ad be at least two minutes long and not let you exit. You will have to close the game at least three times in order to play one singular round this is a fun game but a horrible app.
wow
ads, ads, ads. premium, premium, premium. when will the greed end?
The good old days
What happened to the good old days when games didn’t have this many ADS. Too many ads in this game now tsk
Ad hungry

Unplayable
Super frustrating with every tab there is an ad
You can’t play without watching 3 ads!

Gone down hill
I loved this game multiple years ago and decided to revisit it. 7.99/week for premium, ads before and after levels as well as when just navigating menus, lagging resulting in unfair losses, audio glitches so no music plays or the music is delayed. This game used to be a somewhat challenging but fun rhythm game with levels I enjoyed. I don’t mind ads on mobile games but the amount coupled with the performance issues was really sad, I hate seeing games decline like this
Fun Game, absurd prices
It is a fun game, I used to play this game when it was cheap, now to play consistently it’s $7.99 a week. Good luck.
Can't play level 4, game broken.
I played this game a long time ago on my Android, and now, years later with my iPhone the game is unplayable. Level 4 "The Beach" or any other level, can't be played in the trial function because the videos always show an error and will not load. I press retry several times, 10+ yet the video won't load. I do not have airplane mode enabled nor do I have WiFi or data disabled. Would love to play the other levels but the game is broken.
What has this become
I used to play this non stop a few years back and now I come back and it’s just turned into this gotcha game where I go in and half to scroll through every single lock thing just to get the level I was on which is absolutely on purpose I thought the devs at least had some taste…
Ads ruin the game
From the amount of ads its trying to load , its glitchy. was on the app for 20 minutes and played 2 rounds. was forced from one pop up to the other. terrible. genuinely created a rage inside if me when i came to this came to calm down. used to love it when i was younger.
Used to be fun, sucks now
I redownloaded the game because I wanted to play it again for nostalgia, I was appalled to see that i could only play 3 levels, those being the beginning levels, everything else that used to be free is now behind either a ad wall or a pay wall, and no one wants to pay 7 bucks a week for a game about tapping a screen and listening to music. The devs shot themselves in the foot and turned a dead game even deader by making you pay or watch a ad to play a level, and at that, you cant even play it because the music is delayed so you die. Used to be a 5 outta 5, now a 1, devs suck and so does the game, how sad.
Too Many Ads and Promotions
You have to pay for no ads and music does not work on phone. Used to like this game, now the experience is a lot worse.
BAD
Bro I get a ad EVERY SECOND BRO
猎豹你活该被谷歌拉黑
这么多年没玩了重新下回来，还是以前那个德行，满屏的充值按钮，只要点了道具补充，返回时就要给我弹关卡限免和订阅充值弹窗，进个设置又立马给我弹广告，滚吧，以后再也不见
broken
the game is broken. i cant play it at all.
Реклама с элементами игры
Ну уж слишком много рекламы. После смерти нельзя просто начать сразу заново, из-за рекламы между любыми попытками проходит чуть больше минуты. В целом она тут повсюду. Еще проблема что на новые уровни чрезвычайно трудно копить, по сути деньги можно заработать как раз таки проходя эти уровни (немного) и получая награды за накопленые очки. Выходит так что на покупку всего одного уровня может уходить несколько дней, ну конечно если играть без доната. Это очень портит впечатление от игры
Major problem
The game is not working! I downloaded it and the main page is just freeze
No sound
Used to love this game but no matter what I have no sound. Literally unplayable
Ads are INSANE
I’ve never used an app that has had such insane ads. I used to pay for this when the music was better (Alan walker stuff), but I just downloaded it again to play casually and the ads have gotten worse. I just had an ad that went for 3 minutes with the progress bar actually slowing down, then reached the end, and nothing happened. Basically the only thing I could do was download the stupid game it wanted (so instead I just killed the app).
Ad revenue is important, but this game takes the biscuit.

Way to many ads
After two round of playing I have to constantly be stopped by an ad. I used to play this game when it first came out and it wasn’t this bad but know it’s awful. Money hungry developers milking the ads while charging 8 bucks a week to get rid of ads like what a scumming company.
A hard fall from grace.
This game was so good when it came out. But then they gave it to a new studio, right? And they were doing good at the start, but. They just got too greedy. Like ads EVERYWHERE. Just a lot of in app purchases. And putting a progression? Like this game would be so good if they had better management.
Add
So. Many. More ad viewing than game. It’s a shame. It’s a fun game.
3 minutes of game time 10 minutes of ads
Literally unplayable. Uninstalled after 10 minutes of gameplay. Used to be a super fan for the game back in 2017. No matter you opened a new level or exit the level, you have to sit through 2 minutes of ad before the x appears on your screen.
Zero stars
This game WAS fun. Now it’s a cash grab for the developer. SHAME ON YOU! SSSHHHHAAAAAMMMEEEEE. $8 a week for no adds!!??? THAT IS CRIMINAL. The game isn’t even that complicated. Holy smokes I wish I could slap the stupid out of the developer. Booooooooooooooooooo
TOO MANY ADS.
Returned to this game after years of not playing. Jesus Christ. Devs- rather than play this game, can I just go to the CEO’s house, and make eye contact while feeding him five dollar bills every time he whistles a few notes to cut all the BS? There is no constructive criticism I can give because there will be no change to how aggressive the ads between levels and deaths are. I don’t WANT to have my reward “upgraded,” I want to play the game. I don’t want to watch an ad to play a trial level, I want to grind the levels to unlock the levels that have the songs I remember, but thank you for giving me the opportunity after EVERY LEVEL. I don’t want to play Last War, even after the forced demo, popup for the App Store, timed screen to close the ad, and the close button that then takes you back to the App Store to make me close it again. I’d give you your six bucks to get rid of the ads if you guys weren’t so flipping GREEDY in the first place. God.
Pay to play
Okay game but has zero progression as it’s blocked by a pay wall. Why make a game if 98% of levels are unavailable
Too much micro transactions
I remember playing this game as a kid but now the at I look back at it I tried it out for nostalgia. I was excited at first to play it until my screen gets loaded with ads and offers. I get there will be micro transactions in games but 7.99 a week to have infinite revives and tries is too much, even modern games have a cheaper cost. Usually it’ll be 7.99 for 2-3 months of a subscription but I guess that doesn’t apply to this game. Overall disappointed in how much money it costs just to enjoy the game
Wtf
Dude I remember when this game was just open and play. Now you need to pay to play the game? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen yet.
Once a wonderful game, now destroyed by ads.
I used to love this game. I’ve given quite a bit of money to support, and now it’s been completed destroyed by ads. Extremely long ads and that’s after I’ve paid several times. This game is NOT worth your time sadly.
Bad.
Camera angle sucks, too many ads, and uninteresting music.
Good and bad
I played since 2023 and I expirenced glitched. It has to many invisible walls and ads. I enjoy the levels sort of. I hope it gets fixed. The one on Roblox is probably 10X better
1/10
add farmer
game ruining bug
whenever you get ANY ad for ANYTHING, there’s a 50/50 the next/current level just won’t load animations nor music. this is horrible because hitboxes don’t move either, causing flying and clipping, and this is VEY problematic for the guide line. the game is half unplayable, all because of this stupid bug. FIX SOON
A stunning game destroyed by greed.
This game is a must have. That is until you realize that to play it without ads they want $8 a week. That’s $416.00 a year. The price my daughter pays for cell phone service. The pricing structure is greedy and ignorant. I won’t give only company with these practices one cent. Unbelievable.
All ads now. Avoid it.
Shame on game devs for ruining their own product. It has built in ads, 3rd party ads, upgrades available. Just too much going on to enjoy the game or buy upgrades.
greedy with terrible quality
this game used to be amazing, its the initial reason why i downloaded it again, but upon playing the game, i can see how far it fell from grace
the game features satisfying gameplay with simple controls, tapping in sync with catchy music in order to reach the goal. however, thats pretty much where all the good of this app ends
this app makes no focus on players who play for free. a good 70% of the game is locked behind an ad or a paywall. at this point, just make your game paid for because the amount of monetization shoved in your face just by looking at the screen is utterly insane
even disregarding the rampant ads, the game itself contains several bugs and issues that make the would-be-fun gameplay almost unplayable. sometimes the sync of the music and the gameplay is several seconds off, somehow there are lag spikes present almost always making progression close to impossible. i don't even know how you can fail to optimize a game with graphics consisting almost completely of nothing but solid colors. failing a level shoves yet more ads in your face
if you are looking to reminisce on your childhood memories of playing this game or if you simply are looking for a new game to play, turn away from this one. you will be left frustrated and disappointed with an app that feels designed more for watching ads than playing a game

ads are horrible
never seen a game with worse ads. literally unplayable
Greedy and money hungry
I downloaded this game after a few years and almost every level you have to watch an ad to play it. It was like that before. Tell me why it started playing ads when I clicked on settings😐. I get they want to make money but the constant ads just ruins the game. Their greed sickens me.
Ads ruined this game
I use to love this game but out of no where I got ads all the time and it’s unplayable. Greed…
There’s potential…
The game has great music, graphics, and level design. Sure! I definitely see incredible potential for this game, but the gameplay isn’t good-
Issue 1. Camera movement
The camera movement is wonky, and it starts to lag low-end devices making some taps delayed.
Issue 2. Ads
The amount of ads disgusts me, and it’s a KEY part for playing the game (such as temporarily trying a new level).
Issue 3 (Definitely the biggest, in my opinion). No Practice mode
Lack of practice makes it so you have to jump into a level blind, and for the harder levels, it takes forever just to get to 10% in certain levels.
The game is great, but a lot of people see the glaring mistakes in the creation of this game.

So many ads
Every time you touch the settings or basically do anything in the game it’s another ad game used to be good horrible now
Really good game but it has problems.
I used to love this game when I was younger so I decided to download it again . Still a very fun game but there’s just TOO many ads, you click something and you get an ad. The game also glitches which causes you to die, the music doesn’t start, and the guide line is only there for 3 seconds. It’s not worth downloading the game when it has all these problems.
I cant believe i used to like this game
About 5 years ago this game was great- now its flooded with ads. Moreover, the levels are creative but so badly designed that you cannot see the road ahead of you to even predict when your next move should be. Sometimes the line follows the beats of the song but sometimes it doesn’t- which wouldnt be a problem if I could SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. Then once you die you are force-fed more ads! To top it all off the levels that I like and have memorized well have so many glitches and freeze right before the checkpoints.
Eh
Decent game, but the levels bug out so much it gets really tedious to even try to play.
Stupid
Every single fricking time i die i get an ad. And please fix the bug where when you get an add the level doesn’t go and you get 0%
Too many adds
I love this game so much. I wish I could play it more but unless you buy the subscription you can’t press any button without getting a long add that sometimes does let you exit out of even when it’s done.
Ads
There’s soo many ads I can’t play the game well. Every time you lose it’s an ad. Every time you want to play a different map it’s an ad. Don’t get me wrong the game is fun but the consistency of the ads gets frustrating and ultimately makes you want to stop playing. And paying 8 dollars a week for premium is insane, my music app doesn’t even charge me like that. Do better …
Очень много рекламы
Сама игра хорошая, но реклама на каждом шагу
So many ads!!!
I have loved this game ever since I was a kid but quit because there were just too many ads that it feels unplayable now.
Used to be a great game, now too many ads
I used to play this game many years ago, there were a lot less features but it was overall a good fun game. Now there are a lot more features, but the consequences are a poorly optimized game in hopes you’ll pay $8 a week to ease the gaming experience. You get an ad about every 1-2 minutes which makes it really hard to enjoy the levels. There are also features that do not seem to be working, like the level boosters, where you watch an ad to receive 3 free lives. If the game was more polished and the developers didn’t seem so greedy, i wouldn’t mind paying the $6 for no ads. I would’ve loved to revisit this game it is just now unbearable to play.
