REQUIRES YOU SPEND HEAVILY
False advertising, it’s not a dog game, it’s a war game. The game releases a new hero and perks daily requiring you to spend at least 800 usd weekly to rank up if you want to enjoy the game. It’s a never ending money pit. Customer Service is a bot and does not help. A lot of in game bullying. The developers only care about the money. Too many bugs and they r slow to fix issues. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME.

Be careful this game will sell you things and then take them away!
I paid for a fourth team, did a lot of research in technology that cost me time resources speed ups and effort! They just take it away after you have paid for it! So be careful this is a corrupt game, where they steal your money! I do not recommend anyone paying to play this game! Be careful
Not as advertised.
Nothing in the advertisement or the app game pictures is representative of what the game actually is. It’s a zombie battle survival game, and has absolutely nothing to do with saving a dog from bees like advertised. There are a few brief levels where you save the dog, but 99% of the game is battle survival, and the graphics and mechanics have absolutely nothing in common. I thought I found a new fun and chill game to play with a cute concept that was reminiscent of OG App Store games, but was hoodwinked and sorely mistaken. Sadly will be deleting this app.
Nope
This is not as advertised. Skiiip
Another Castle Builder
Drop the castle building scheme and just give us the drawing challenge’s.
Terrible
This game would be good if it stuck with protecting the dog, the other stuff sucks, it doesn’t even mention the shooting part , false advertising
Just a shady money grab
They do everything they can to swindle money from you in resource purchases. Then they make your castle freeze when you maxed out their dumb season furnace. Its always on and explain to me… if youre in a spot that is 0 degrees how do you drop to -40 degrees and freeze? When this happens to no one else around you. These developers are shady
Fraud
The game start off like the app says then goes completely off to something that has nothing to do with the actual game downloaded
Another false advertisement
Once again a game that is lying about what it is.
Not advertised
Not advertised game, scam
Game is terrible
You get stuck in a level trying to clear out a tile with no enemies or monsters there. Claims there’s 1 or 4 and they are attacking nothing. Stage 58 is bugged and glitched badly.
Game is false a advertisement
Another game with fake ads. And of course they’ll reply with “sorry you misunderstood” when nowhere in their ads do they state that this is a mini game within the real game.
Please don’t install this game, do not reward the developer for making fake ads.

Misleading
The advertisements for this game show as if it’ll be a “draw to save the dog game”. The game started off with that but shortly turned into a clash of clans style game with zombies and promiscuous girl visuals.
Ts ahh
Ts ahh(slowed down)
No one speaks English
I started playing they place you on a server that you can’t change form unless you start over! It says English (I don’t care who anyone speaks but it makes it hard to play with other people if you can’t understand them) but maybe 2-3% of the server does and they are on a different time zone like 8 hour difference. They do have a translation built in but it’s so bad.
Misleading bait and switch advertisements
This game is a complete scam and it uses bait and switch, misleading advertising. I’ve been getting targeted ads for this game on insta for weeks and thought the whole “draw a shape around the dog to protect it from the bees” gimmick looked fun, and the game does allow you to do it for like 3 levels at first, but then it transitions into a dumb clash style game? I don’t even know the word for it but it’s a completely different style of gameplay and not what was advertised at all. I immediately deleted the game, so much for that. Fake, misleading, scammy game. Sorry to the dog, you’re gonna be stuck with the dang bees for the rest of your life I guess.
Edit in response to the developer’s response: Trying to excuse this by saying “mini games are parts of our game” is a joke! Every single ad I saw for this game solely depicted the dog and bee “mini game”, which indicated that the dog and bee game would be the main aspect of the gameplay. None of the ads showed any of the unwanted zombie and clash of clans and sexy ladies bull**** that was actually the main point of the game. You’re pulling a bait and switch and trying to gaslight your customers after they complain about it.

The game sucks
You have to play another game to play this game and it takes the fun away
Too many bugs
Should have named this game X-Crash. Constant problems with the game. Every update fixes one issue and 3 more pop up. Customer service is horrendous if you can reach a real person at all. Social aspect of the game is the only reason to play after finishing the save the dog levels. Don’t waste your time or money unless you enjoy being frustrated every time you log on.
Fake
Just another one of those false advertisement games that’s nothing like it’s promoted
Waste of time
The game that you downloaded this for is the game you’ll least play. I’m uninstalling this game because it wants me to wait 12 days for a next level upgrade in which I need 5 upgrades to play five 15 second games of the game with the dog and bees, I’m not waiting 3 and a half months to do that, the higher the level, the more days you wait to unlock an upgrade smh
Just want what it shows
Ads and pictures to the game only shows saving the dog from the bees but the game it’s self is building castles and leveling up soldiers. I want the bee puzzles only.
Nothing like is advertised
Way different gameplay than shows in the advertisement. Definitely not worth it. Don’t waste your time.
Not approved
I installed the game hoping to play the same game in the screenshots. But it is a zombie game
Yikes
The fact the game is 99% something different than it’s advertised shows that they know the actual game is trash.
To many ads
Add after every single failure or level. Awful money hungry game
Deceived
I just want to draw and save the dog I don’t know why Game developers think that everyone wants a dumb fantasy Clash of Clans aspect to every game, just let me mindlessly draw and save the dog.
Stupid
Why can’t people just make games with out having to do all this clash / clan BS? This would be a good game with out all the extra bs you have to do.
This is SCAM
You only can play this bees and dog game once in a while. Otherwise you mostly play clash of clone like fighting zombies and building castle
Another App so bad they had to make fake ads
If you saw the ad of the dog and the bees and that’s why you want to play this game just stop right now. This is a game about fighting zombies with scantily clad women and castles and a whole lot of nonsense. It looks like they made a game that nobody wanted to play so instead of making another game that people do want to play they made ads for a game that people would want to play and then just give you this game instead when you download it.
A waste of time and money
Bad customer support, bad developers, nothing works right in the game. New issues comes with every patch they do and they never fix anything. It has been 9 months of frustration and they won’t even respond
Bad game don’t even waste your time on it
Bad game don’t even waste your time on it
Disconnecting from Server
Right in the middle of a game you’ll keep disconnecting from the server. Error 61 or something like that. Lord forbid you get deeply involved in gameplay, imagine beating a hard level just for it to not count. And disconnect once you start winning 😑. Not cool
Deceiving
You open the game to find out its not a dog saving game but some Chinese style mythical game.
Nothing like the game
I ended up playing a game that was like a building game where you build stuff on a map. This is not the dog game, where you save it from the bees.
Not save the dog game
What is advertising is just a mini game inside the real game. It’s nothing like it’s supposed to be.
Yet another scam game
This app is yet another scam game. They have ads showing a specific type of game play that looks interesting. So I downloaded the game and played 3 levels with this gameplay before being pushed into yet another boring base building combat game with no sign of the advertised game anywhere. Immediately deleted the game. 100% false advertising scam.
Too expensive
This game is all about taking your money. For Any type of progression, you must pay. And to really enjoy the game you would have to spend at least $125-$150 every two days. I really thought I was going to play the bee game. But in order to progress in the bee game, you have to progress the zombie game first which costs money. I’m
More than likely going to stop in a week or two. Too many days of not doing anything on the game because you can’t! UPDATE. I just recently noticed that if you are stuck on any level, And you decide to enhance your character with upgrades, cards, even new gear, that level you were stuck on becomes harder. You can even upgrade your beast, with the breakthroughs as well the level gets harder. I like the game, but I’m about to put it down and find something similar, especially since I don’t even play the actual game I downloaded which was save the dog.

Not the game
Not the game advertised
100% pay2play
This game first lured me in and many others with their fake, saved the dog game and then slipped in this whole kingdom thing. You’re not gonna be competitive unless you spend thousands of dollars and there are people who spent $10,000 $30,000 and I’m not even kidding and there’s no way to beat them. These types of games aren’t worth your time. Don’t download this don’t waste your time.
False advertising
I thought this was a cute “save the doggy” puzzle game NOT! I didn’t download this to battle gladiator’s. Ridiculous
Nothing to do with the game
Why am I building a fort? Why is it mandatory to start helping protect a village that has NOTHING TO DO WITH PLAYING THE GAME YOU ADVERTISED
Misleading game play
Mainly wanted to just check out and okay save the dog….not building worlds and upgrading castles to get new levels…disappointing. Why do these developers do this?
Sucks
They lied the game they show you in the ad isn’t the game you get to play it’s a side game it sucks
Inappropriate
I mainly downloaded the game to save the dog but soon realized that it shows some very disturbing content like a chat space of a female character and they move like a fairy very disturbing and creepy for a kids game!
Not as advertised
You don’t get to do the dog/bee challenges much, which is what I wanted to do. Bummer!
Trash
Not even the game that’s promoting
Horrible Customer Service and full of bugs!
The customer service is probably THE WORST that I have experienced - ANYWHERE!

Failure to upload pro pic
I’m playing the game for last seven days and trying to update my app profile picture by your fails no matter what picture I add to it. I even tried to take a picture with camera. Maybe that would work but it fails every any each time. I tried to reach out to the support, but there is no support exist. There is just an untrained, bot. Very frustrating
Scammy and no customer service
I got scammed with charges I didn’t purchase and reached out to customer service to be put on hold for DAYS. Then, they told me they could only be reached by Facebook, which I don’t have. Never got a response then got blocked from game play, so I can’t reach out at all. Watch your charges even if you are a casual spender. They will tell you in responses to reviews to reach out to them, but there is no way to do so. Proceed with caution.
Totally false advertising
It’s another money hustle game that is nothing like the ads
