    892 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many users report being forced to watch ads after every few attempts, with some ads being unskippable and inappropriate. Additionally, the game requires an internet connection to function properly, which frustrates players who wish to play offline, leading to a consensus that the ad strategy detracts significantly from the overall experience.

    249 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Funny physics, hilarious characters, and the generally dark humor surrounding the gore makes it fun to play.”

  • stability
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues, particularly when ads are involved or during level restarts.

    • “I gave it one star less because when I first played this game it was awesome, but then the next day glitches started, and the game exited itself.

    • “It's great until the constant glitches and freezing makes the game unplayable.”

    The music in the game has received widespread praise, particularly for its nostalgic intro and engaging background tracks that enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the blend of rock elements and the memorable soundtrack, which adds to the game's charm and enjoyment.

    • “I love the song at the start of the game!”
    • “Awesome! The best game for Android with amazing gameplay and music.”
    • “The great thing is that we can choose our favorite character that we want and it is offline also and this game has no music on the phone so we can play this game quietly.”

    • “The music when you open the game is just nostalgia; I started playing this on my computer when gamingwithkev played it.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and features a mix of humor and intense action, appealing to a wide audience, including younger players despite its violent content. However, many users express a desire for additional content, such as user-generated levels and more characters, to enhance the overall experience. While the existing missions are challenging and enjoyable, players feel that the lack of customization options limits replayability.

    • “Its seamless blend of breathtaking cinematography and evocative storytelling creates a tapestry of emotions that resonate deeply with the viewer.”
    • “I like the story mode, but I want to play the maps made by other people like how DanTDM did in his videos. Please add an update for this.”
    • “Cant do user made levels even after I beat story mode.”

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Controls, performance, and everything else is great.”
    • “The controls are very responsive and the game runs smoothly for the most part.”

  • replayability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players find it highly enjoyable and challenging, citing the fun of existing levels, others criticize the lack of user-generated content and level editing options, which limits long-term engagement. The absence of mobile access to online levels further detracts from replayability for some users. Despite these drawbacks, the game remains a cult classic with potential for improvement through updates.

    • “Very few ads, everything is free, and sooo replayable.”
    • “Great fun, challenging levels, complete replayability.”
    • “Good game, cult classic but needs some updates; adding a level editor on mobile would add a ton of replayability.”
    • “No option for user-made levels hurts the replayability.”
    • “Would have been better if the online levels were playable on the mobile game.”
    • “Replayability is minimal.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating due to frequent interruptions caused by internet connectivity issues and a lack of checkpoints, leading to repetitive gameplay. The levels are described as tedious, with instant deaths from minor mistakes and poorly designed traps that contribute to a sense of self-torture. Overall, the experience can be off-putting, especially for those in areas with unreliable service.

    • “The levels that do exist are tedious, with a single mistake leading to an instant death, unlike the PC levels which are far more enjoyable and open-ended.”
    • “Also, some checkpoints would be cool, instead of doing the same tedious part of a level over and over again because the designers put cheap, terrible traps everywhere and are too lazy to include a checkpoint or two in their levels, which amounts to self-torture.”
    • “Runs great, the smoothest I've ever seen Happy Wheels run, but without the internet, it kicks you from the game and urges you to buy their ad-free version. I live in an area where I get spotty service, and I have to relaunch the game every 4 minutes, which gets rather tedious and can turn people away from the game.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a deep emotional connection to the game, highlighting its ability to evoke strong feelings, including sadness and nostalgia. The combination of challenging gameplay and impactful sound effects contributes to a profound experience that resonates with many, prompting them to recommend it highly.

    • “I had this game on my old phone, but I lost my old phone. This game is insanely awesome! I want to cry, so please play it. I watch every single YouTuber on the whole entire YouTube channel playing it. This game is wicked and deserves a 5-star rating.”
    • “The sound effects make me want to cry inside. The game is just way too hard.”
