“The game is good but there is one big bug you could remove. I'm in level 27 in Anger Stick 5, not the power 27, but level 27.

The music aspect of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the absence of background music during gameplay and the inability to play personal music while playing.

“Best game I ever played! Good job for making this great game, and if you guys add music, it would be more fun!”
“What it needs is music; for real, there's no music during gameplay, which is very silly. Instead of an MP gauge for the guns, add a bullet counter like every other shooter since I think it's better that way.”

“Fun game, but after some time it becomes boring as there is no background music. This is the reason I rated it with 4 stars.”

“Great experience, not too grindy and also has that arcade feel.”
“Glitches are still present, like in a building you can glitch through a wall or floor, and the grind is not too tedious, but the most frustrating part by far is how you can't regain health for yourself, rescued civilians, and allies.”
“But there is too much grinding and the game has 3 modes to play; it's boring to play the same game over and over again.”
“The thing that makes me mad is that I lost all my stuff, even my amount of gems and coins. I already checked if there was an update and nothing. The levels were all locked and I lost everything. I'm so disappointed because I worked so hard grinding for my stuff and the gems and coins. That's why I give this game a 2-star rating.”
“This game is fun, but there is so much struggle. I am grinding for more than 5 hours and I can't get money and crystals. This is so hard, but I still play.”
