    763 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback from users, primarily centered around the frequency and intrusiveness of ads. Many players express frustration with the number of ads that interrupt gameplay, particularly during character customization, leading to suggestions for reducing their occurrence or providing an option to remove them entirely. However, some users note that turning off Wi-Fi can effectively eliminate ads, and a few appreciate the relatively low number of ads compared to other games, indicating that while ads are a common complaint, they are not universally seen as a dealbreaker.

    • “The in-app purchases are reasonable; there aren't any b.s.”
    • “Amazing app, you can make your own character and in-app purchases are not necessary unlike any other good app.”
    • “Amazing game because there's no ads popping up in your face every 2 seconds and everything's free with lots of different options on how you'd like your character to look!”
    • “The only issue or problem about this game is probably the ads, because for example, while I'm in the middle of making my character it shows loading ad and it could get a little frustrating.”
    • “I really enjoy the app but as most apps, this has a lot of ads.”
    • “I love this game but the reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the ads.”
  • stability

    The stability of the game has received mixed feedback from users, with many reporting frequent glitches and crashes that disrupt gameplay. Common issues include freezing screens, unexpected character changes, and the need to reinstall the app to resolve problems. While some players enjoy the occasional quirky glitches, the overall consensus is that significant improvements are needed to enhance stability and reduce the frequency of these disruptions.

    • “There were no glitches whatsoever and the quality is amazing!”
    • “Playing this game for as long as I have, it has its ups and downs, but the ads and it glitches out a lot. Sometimes I have to redownload the app.”
    • “I found out that if you tab freezes and you exit and open the app again, it goes back to the same frozen screen!”
    • “The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the game glitches and deletes all my characters and changes them to 1 character that I didn't make and they put the name as 'charactery' and then it closes the app?!”

    • “The only reason I put 3 and not 5 is because I really want an on and off button for the music in the background.”
    • “I would give a five-star rating if there was no music, so please change that.”

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, with players enjoying the ability to create funny skits and characters using a variety of silly faces, poses, and outfits.

Despite the fun elements, many feel that the grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “It makes creating several variations of the same personalized character much more difficult and tedious.”
