Game lost so much quality
Levels fail to load properly and break mid game. I have to restart the app for level to work properly. And I have to do several times. Loaded with ads and no option to make a one time payment for no ads.
Decent game
This game is kinda fun. I used to play it in my childhood, and I still do, but it is loaded with advertisements and is basically ad fed.
This game sucks
Genuinely just change all mistakes. First, there are TOO MANY ADS, there are ads when you finish a level, die in a level ads to unlock levels for only one time use ads for everything. Also, change bugs because this bug is horrible. When you are doing The Maze, when it’s at the part close to the part where it falls a lot, one i was doing it and it turned the opposite direction and i died and had to watch another ad. Plz fix and make make developers see this cause most of the time devs don’t respond.So please change some things.
THE SOUNDS GO BROKEN AFTER ADS
Ads broke this game. Every time after an ad, the game’s audio and pathfinding break entirely. I don’t want to spend ANY money on some random immature game.
Bad
Not working!!!!
NO
This app needs to be updated/fix it’s been doing the same thing for a while. Freezing up and then having to watch an ad for everything
Most intrusive and infuriating ads
I’ve never played a game that allowed such pests of advertisements. Id rather have rats in my house than play this game being interrupted by a 2 minute unskipable ad with 3 pop up screens that don’t show the x button for a whole minute each.
Remove bugs/ fixing the game
There is so many lags when I play this game because I play every game I have and there is no lang only when I play dancing line
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
This game was extremely good when it came out years ago. Now you can’t play more than a minute without unskippable ads in your face
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.
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

✨PLZ READ✨
So overall this game is okay but there are a couple things that make it a bit difficult to play. Firstly, sometimes the sound doesn’t play every once in a while so I have to sort of twiddle with it for a while until it works again. Secondly, there are WAY WAY WAY too many adds. I think it’s super unfair how you have to watch an add for every song that you want to play. There are ways of unlocking it but to do that you must complete courses and once you’ve unlocked it you have to spend those golden cube things for it and that’s really unfair because you technically already unlocked it so we shouldn’t have to pay for it. Also I can’t even go to the Home Screen of the game without there being an add. Like I wish I was exaggerating but when I mess up and go to retry there is ALWAYS a super long add. And I think it’s so unfair how you have to wait for those little silver cubes that disappear when you mess up. Like what’s the point for waiting for those cubes to fill up just to keep making mistakes because some of those courses are really hard. Like at this point it’s almost impossible to play the game because what’s the point of a game if you have to wait for another chance to play it. I find that super unfair. It’s also very very laggy and I just cannot get one decent course.
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.
