What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Bug fixes

Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most common complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, appearing after every level, every few seconds, or even before the game starts. Many find them too long and unskippable, making the game unplayable. This contradicts the developer's 'bug fixes' notes, as ads are a major functional issue.R1R4R5R7
Crashes & Freezing negative
Many users report the game frequently freezes or crashes, often after just a few levels. This issue is persistent and forces players to restart the app, significantly disrupting gameplay. This directly contradicts the developer's notes about 'bug fixes'.R3R9R13R15
Paid Ad-Removal Broken negative
A significant number of long-term players who previously purchased ad-free versions are now seeing ads again. The 'Restore Purchase' option often fails to resolve this, leading to frustration and feelings of being ripped off.R12R29R35R41
'Development' Watermark negative
After recent updates, many users see a large 'Development' watermark diagonally across their screen, impeding gameplay. While some report it was fixed quickly, others still experience it.R27R31R35R38
Repetitive Content/Useless Currency negative
Players who reach higher levels (e.g., beyond level 40, 100, or 1000) report that levels become highly repetitive. In-game currency accumulates with nothing to spend it on, as new items or outfits are often tied to watching more ads.R10R39R42R46
Offline Play Removed negative
Several long-time players are disappointed that the game no longer supports offline play, forcing them to have an internet connection and endure more ads.R23R26R196R247

Who it's for

This game is for casual players looking for a simple, physics-based puzzle game to pass short bursts of time . It might appeal to those who enjoy destroying targets and don't mind repetitive content R131R172. Skip this game if you dislike frequent, long, and intrusive ads, or if you expect a stable, bug-free experience R1R4R13. Also skip if you've previously paid for ad-removal, as many report it no longer works R12R29.

Evidence note: The recent review sample is heavily negative, with a 0.737 recent-negative ratio, which strongly contrasts with the lifetime 4.599 rating. This indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction following recent updates. The developer's notes mention 'Bug fixes' but many recent reviews report new or persistent bugs and crashes, suggesting the fixes were either ineffective or introduced new problems.

  1. [R131] 5/5 · US Bazookka boy: Love this game very entertaining n relaxing
  2. [R172] 5/5 · US Game is amazing: This game is amazing im addicted to it ever since I got it and im gonna continue to play it, whoever made this game is amazing.
  3. [R178] 5/5 · US Gaming: Best little game I’ve ever enjoyed playing!
  4. [R45] 5/5 · US The good stuff: I’ve been playing games for over 55 years and I know what makes a great game and they have nailed it on this game take my word for it you won’t be disappointed 😎❤️
  5. [R35] 4/5 · US Showing ads now…. Good time killer: I’ve done every level about a hundred times and I have every gun but it’s a fun game to kill time with. Now it started displaying ads to me and says development on the screen even tho bought this years ago.
  6. [R76] 4/5 · US Fun game, some problems: This game is a great time killer. It’s super fun, but I think I’ve milked as much as possible. I’m over 500 levels in and the game feels complete after a little over 100. I think we should get more levels, more variety as well. Also I am experiencing a crashing problem every 4-5 levels or so, sometimes more frequently. Other than that, great game. Would love to see differe
  7. [R105] 4/5 · US Fun and never ending: I like that it’s never ending and entertaining and I can play offline. Only issues are ya gotta create new levels or experiences to keep it interesting. Levels are just repetitive. And why does the score cap out at 2.1m?
  8. [R441] 3/5 · GB Too repetitive: Good time killer game, but it’s too easy and repetitive. The same levels keep getting re cycled.
  9. [R25] 4/5 · US A banner? (GONE!): UPDATE: This issue was addressed and corrected. Revised rating to four stars. Game is fun, it is free so I can put up with the ads. “After the last update, an intrusive banner that reads “Development” has appeared across the playing screen impeding play. What gives?”
  10. [R30] 5/5 · US Still fun after 2+ years: Developer is really on top of fixes. “Development” watermark removed within 1 hr.
  11. [R1] 1/5 · US Ads ads and more ads: Play one round for 3 seconds and then 1 minute of ads. No thanks!!
  12. [R4] 1/5 · US Played 1 level for 2 seconds. Advert of nearly 2-3 minutes followed: 1 level = a few seconds Unity Ads (always awful) = multiple minutes 1 level = 1 ad? Get the hell out. Instant delete. No way in hell that’s reasonable design. Just feels like an eyeball farm. Levels are so short, an advert should not follow every level immediately. Make it after the first 10 or give people an option to kill a
  13. [R5] 2/5 · US An Ad at every level: I like the game, but there are WAY TOO MANY ADS!
  14. [R292] 3/5 · GB More ads than games: Omg the amounts of ads on this app is maddening ads upon ads do one thing then there’s an ad…. You got blown up? Watch an ad… need to reload? Watch an ad… cleared the level? Watch an ad… finished watching that endless ad? Here’s another ad
  15. [R3] 5/5 · US Bazooka Boy: Will you please stop your game from freezing up every few minutes even when my WiFi is still on. Please and thank you. It does not freeze up now BUT now I only play 2 or 3 games and then it turns itself off. It has done this ever since there was an up-dated or whatever. I play two or three games and the game just turns itself off. I then have hit app to go back to the game. Please, pl
  16. [R9] 3/5 · US Good, but crashes: Everytime an ad pops up, the game crashes.
  17. [R15] 2/5 · US Glitchy: Was on level 10,000 Something and it started over. Different version and glitches out badly after reaching level 1000. Shuts down every 3-4 levels and is inconsistent AF on beating level. Really poorly designed with way too many bug issues. 2⭐️ is very generous.
  18. [R74] 5/5 · US Blowing stuff up: Love this game very addictive, after a few levels the game shuts off, what’s up with that. I really love this game but you can’t play it very long it closes out
  19. [R12] 4/5 · US Problems with game: Been playing for years, love the game, but once I hit level 51,000 I started seeing ads even though I paid for no ads. “Restore purchase” does nothing, I’ve lost all my outfits and all my guns but a couple. Won’t let me buy new ones and watching an add won’t let me get my guns back either. I hope this can be fixed as it’s one of my favorite games.
  20. [R29] 1/5 · US New updates suck: I purchased this game a few years ago to mindlessly play with no ads and now the new updates is forcing ads constantly. I want my money back! WOW! The feedback I received is shady af. Hey Supersonic, I deleted the game and will never give money to another one of yours again.
  21. [R41] 3/5 · US I paid and still have ads!: Paid for no ads about a yer ago and then last week they turned ads back on! What’s up? Loved the game but not the ads
  22. [R44] 1/5 · US Ad-free broken: Was a really fun little time-waster. There were enough different levels that, even though they repeat, it never got monotonous. I paid for ad-free pretty quickly. But they made some changes to it. It wasn’t just updated, but now it’s in “development.” And my ad-free status I purchased is gone. They pop up and play constantly. Horrible.
  23. [R27] 2/5 · US Development??: I bought this game YEARS ago. It has never updated. Now, suddenly, it has the word “Development” across the screen. 😡 I’m OVER 30,000 levels in. It’s still simplistic and dull, but somehow addictive. I just saw a screenshot of the game on the App Store that looks light-years better than what I have! WTH??? On top of THAT, it CRASHES every three screens. Gimme a break!
  24. [R49] 2/5 · US What happened: It was good till now the word DEVELOPMENT is diagonally on all screens
  25. [R53] 5/5 · US Fix the Water Mark across screen??: Latest update has left a watermark across the screen that reads; DEVELOPMENT… Fix this please
  26. [R58] 3/5 · US Development?: I love this game! But all of the sudden after playing it for years, it reads “Development” across the screen while I play. What gives?
  27. [R10] 4/5 · US Add more guns & other stuff you can buy with your cash in this game: After you get past level 40 it just repeats itself and the cash you win will just pile up because there’s nothing left to buy it would be nice if you could buy outfits and other things but you can’t.. I’m on level 1243 and have more money on this game then anyone would ever see in a lifetime but I can’t do anything with it
  28. [R39] 1/5 · US Broken game: I stopped on level 1605. I’d say the money stopped adding up after level 1500.. I have 2,147,483,647. which u can’t spend it on anything.. very pointless system
  29. [R46] 5/5 · US Money is useless: I have realized that the money doesn’t matter. I have 24 billion dollars because that’s where it caps with nothing to spend it on. I am on level 4600 and working towards 5000 and levels just kind of repeat themselves and gets boring. I still like playing though. Lol
  30. [R218] 3/5 · US Very repetitive after a while.: It’s a fun game until you buy all the guns and realize the levels start to repeat on random. I also have well over a million dollars with absolutely nothing to buy. Kind of regret paying to remove the ads. If you download, don’t bother removing the ads, it feels like a waste of money after level 100.
  31. [R23] 5/5 · US Off-line play: Please make this game available for off-line play again. I play a lot at work which sometimes I have no Wi-Fi or any other phone signal. I really enjoy this game. I play it all the time. Please make it available for off-line play
  32. [R26] 4/5 · US Great game, however: I have played a lot of this game, over 1200 levels, just as of recent I can no longer play without connection to the internet, I always play it when I am in an area without connection so this is quite the issue for me. Still a good game but this sucks now that I am forced to watch a 30 second add every level.
  33. [R196] 3/5 · US Will not run on airplane mode: Great fun game. Needs to have ads to play. Deleted because ads waste to much time
  34. [R2] 2/5 · US Sound and haptics missing: With version 2.2.85 the weapons no longer make a sound when fired. Also the haptics are missing. (Yes the option is On.)
  35. [R113] 3/5 · US Sound: Couldn’t get the sound to work on my iPhone 16 Pro. The ads had sound but not the game. Tried toggling in settings, disconnected Bluetooth, hit the volume buttons and made sure it was all on. Nothing. Then the endless ads every time you go to the next level - no thanks. Basically Angry Birds but without the slingshot.
  36. [R6] 5/5 · US ???: I just wanted to let everyone know that some of the adds on the very bottom of the game shows real naked women. Please remove that or I will report you
  37. [R59] 3/5 · US It started prompting to connect to other network devices: The latest update causes the iPhone to request to connect to other devices on my local network. Why? I also see the word “Development” across every level. Again. Why?
  38. [R69] 3/5 · US Addictive but buggy: So, the game stops counting bounties after a certain point. I thought it was a fluke the first time. But, after I uninstalled it and downloaded it again, the same thing happened. Tonight, I opened the app, and it asked for permission to locate nearby devices. I said no. Now, I have the word “Development” across my screen.
  39. [R7] 1/5 · US This Game SUCKS: Too many ads.
  40. [R13] 1/5 · US Garbage: All this game does is crash and if you don’t buy it, the ads won’t let you play the game anymore.
  41. [R31] 1/5 · US Not like it was: What’s with the text across the screen? And the game play is so sporadic and constantly buffering. You made changes that made the game horrible. Change it back!
  42. [R38] 5/5 · US Bazoookies (not dookies): Get it out of development!!
  43. [R42] 1/5 · US Ads: When are y’all going to update this app? I paid for the app, and now I’m getting ads I paid, and now my game has development across the screen, I’m on level 8867 playing the same 15/20 games! Any updates with new levels coming soon
  44. [R247] 3/5 · US It’s ok: It’s a fun game, but way too many adds, and why isn’t there a WiFi free version. Like Royal Kingdom.
