  • Addictive and fun multiplayer game suitable for groups of up to 8 players, encouraging strategic thinking and social interaction.
  • Low storage requirement and offline playability make it accessible for various devices and situations.
  • Developers have responded to feedback and fixed some bugs, improving overall experience.

  • monetization
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The addition of ads has been a major point of contention, with many users feeling the game has shifted toward a "cash grab" model that disrupts the experience, especially due to lacking an option to remove or reduce ads. While some find the ads manageable or understandable for revenue, frequent and intrusive ads combined with touch and performance issues have significantly diminished the game's enjoyment compared to earlier ad-free versions.

    • “Great game, with no ads and it's fun playing this game, must download.”
    • “It now looks like a half-baked cash grab game, with bad UI/UX decisions and no thought to what the game used to be.”
    • “They have ruined a perfect game with an update adding advertisements and by making the touches miss almost every time.”
    • “Tooo many ads, and no option to disable them. The app was updated a year ago, the app has become horrible from the good old days.”
  • stability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including freezing, unresponsive or inaccurate touch controls, and glitches across various devices. Many users report having to restart the app due to crashes, and there appears to have been little to no recent updates to address these problems. Overall, technical instability significantly hampers the gameplay experience.

    • “Every time after the first time the game doesn't work and freezes with a black screen and the logo on top.”

    The game suffers from optimization issues, particularly with hitbox accuracy, causing frustration when targeting. Performance may also vary depending on the device, leading to a suboptimal experience for some users.

    • “Used to love this game but somehow it doesn't work properly anymore. When it does, the hitbar is weird – I have to press the middle of the box above my target to select it. Not sure if it's my phone or the game's optimization. Leaving 3 stars because of this.”
