Level 4418

Level 4
Stuck on level four screen goes blank game still playing in background even after watching an ad it still go back to a blank screen it’s doing it on level 21 now it’s on level 47🤦🏽♂️
Too expensive to remove ads
Way too ads don’t recommend unless you have the money for the giant paywall.
Geez
I understand watching ads but you stop me mid play to watch an ad? At least wait til that level is over and the timer in the middle of my screen to play an ad how do you expect anyone to see if they want to buy it?
Too many adds
Too many adds watching adds more than playing the game.
so many ads

Broken ads
Once an ad starts I have now way of going back to the game without starting all over again. So basically I have to close the game after 30 seconds.
stealing music from other games
stole music from FNF (Friday night Funkin) and didn’t even give credits. And I used to play it so I give this app a one star.
Too many ads
Game is fun too play when you’re bored, but unskippable ads every 30 seconds is just ridiculous
Ads!
So many ads. It won’t even let you finish a level without “taking a break”
Just an unreal level of disrespect to the game and the player.
It’s too bad the game looked really nice. Played very nice. That is when you weren’t getting an Ad every 60 seconds.
Side note. I don’t think you can call it an IO when I didn’t see any other real players on the maps I was on. All I saw were AIs

Ad
IT has a lots ofads andthat m O akeit
To many ads
Way to many ads and you have to pay $10 if you want to remove them, you can’t really enjoy the game
The ads are the game now
Started out fun. Genuinely. The concept is simple, the gameplay loop is satisfying, and for about twenty minutes I understood why people liked it.
Then came the missions. Every single objective is gated behind a wall of ads - we’re talking 8 of them per attempt, roughly every 30 seconds, like the game is actively punishing you for trying to play it. For games nobody asked about, cycling on repeat.
The worst part? The app found a way to open the App Store even when you correctly close the ad window. You’re sitting there, tapping the X like it means something, and suddenly you’re looking at a download page for a game you’ve never heard of and will never want. Turns out the close button is basically decorative.
There’s a version of hell where the torture is just the ad breaks on this game. this isn’t a game with ads - it’s an ad delivery system with a game bolted on as an excuse to keep you watching. Avoid.

Wtf
Fart
Too many ads
A 1-2 minute ad every minute of gameplay? Nah
used to be really good
i used to love this game and i recently redownloaded. they have completely ruined it with these forced ads. i’m not talking an ad after every round of something, i mean multiple ads in the middle
of each round. and if you don’t want those? you’re only option is to pay 10 dollars. it’s borderline unplayable unless you enjoy being interrupted every minute or two. would really love to see the developers fix this so this game can be enjoyable again.

Ads Galore
Obviously the premise of the game is fun. But the game literally forces “breaks” while you’re in a mission. A timer rings and stops the game forcing you to watch an ad. There was at least 4 within 3 minutes.
Ads ads and then more ads
More ad time than game play…..bummer cuz it was kind of fun for the 30 seconds you do get to play before an ad interups…o well plenty of more games that don’t bombard you with ads…on to the next one
Misleading
You win coins but can’t use them anywhere in game, system support also doesn’t answer inquiries
.
Рекламы больше чем у вас мозгов
WAY too many ads
Like the game, but can’t even finish one level without several ads. Literally an ad every 2 minutes or so, and I’m not paying $10 for ad free
3 minute level, ad every minute.
No exaggeration. An ad plays every fkn minute. That’s a dealbreaker for me.
Just why
Why change the sounds. To hearing a blip?
Rendered Unplayable by Ads
Many unskippable ads that won’t allow you to exit even after watching the ad. You will have to close the application entirely and reopen
Unplayable due to ads
So many ads and no way to turn them off. Unplayable.
All the ads are black screens
I paid for the $2.99 ad free option. However, on super hard levels it’s almost impossible to complete them without adding 30 seconds by watching an ad. When I do that, the entire ad screen turns black. I’ve waited a few minutes, and alas, still just a solid black screen. Pointless to even play at this point without spending more on boosters to finish the level since the ads don’t work.
Cant even play on the airplane
So turns out you need wifi for a game that requires no wifi ? Weird but okay , sucks bc this game used to be so good from when i remember but i wont be playing anymore sucks they bombed it with ads
Too many ads
For what it’s is and what it used to be the ads are quite annoying.
Suggestion
There needs to be a way to change the difficulty on here. It feels like I’m playing against bots. It’s too easy.
Ad trap
it would be fun game if it didn’t force an ad nearly every minute of game play. I deleted it and I’m gonna avoid every io game I see because of this. An ad every match id tolerate even an add to not lose but an add literally during game play is vile af
It had fnf on a add and it is copy right bc of it
It sucks bc ai and fnf copy right
Ads
the ads are ridiculous for free players.
Terrible game
I joined thinking it would be multiplayer but no they use trash ai few maps and to easy
stupid ad game
unlimited ads. you are watching more ads than you are playing.. absolutely horrible
Many ads- I want my money back!
This app has so many ads that I felt I had to buy “no ads” although it still has ads, just not in between each level. It is a terrible game and I want my money back! They don’t give you time to complete a level so it’s impossible to do a level with no ads. I was ripped off and want my money back!
Too many ads
There is too many frequent add you can’t even play a full game without being interrupted every 60 seconds. Deleted the game after 10 minutes. Not worth it.
Forced ads
Deleted it the moment it started forcing me to play ad games
Bring back solo
Worthless without solo play. Impossible to finish.
Ads make it unplayable
Really. Ads every thirty to sixty seconds that refuse to close so you have to force close the app and lose all level progress. What a scummy way to try and force people to pay. Uninstalled.
Too many ads!
Omg, how many ads can you put in one game?!?! You can’t even finish one level without there being at least THREE ad interruptions!
Ads
Too many ads

Very disappointed
As soon as I opened the game I maybe got to play for a min if that and I got an add cutting me off. I waited to time it told me so I could go back to the game but it won’t even let me close the add out as much as I could see in the min I did get to play it looked really good but really an add right in the middle of a 10 min play
Really bad
This game should not have a timer
Sooooo many ads in the middle of your game
Why???? I get ads but multiple in middle of playing a level. Not sure how anyone enjoys that
Not as great as it used to be
It’s the same 5 maps over and over again, one of 5 is hard or super hard and one is attack up to 1000 point. The coins serve no purpose and the different game modes only pop up occasionally that you have to watch an ad or pay for(not with coins earned because like I said no purpose). New maps needed and option to switch modes needs to be brought back.
bru
i’d rate of more honestly cause i love this game but the ads every damn second is annoying i’m tryna play
Too many ads!
Way too many ads that play forever.
Too many ads
Constant ad breaks it’s not enjoyable
Waste of time
Timers are stressful, I couldn’t even pass level ten so I deleted this game. Don’t waste your time
