  7. [R15] Johnny Trigger 3/5 · GB Same level different background: For the first few levels I found the game interesting, until I realised that I was pretty much playing the same ten levels just with different backgrounds, and there isn’t any increasing difficulty to the game. The vip package also seems pointless as if you are that bothered about not having adds then you can just turn the internet off. The base building section di

  22. [R79] Stealth Master 2/5 · US Looked like it might be fun but…: Before I could decide if I like the game or not I was bombarded by ads almost immediately. I will gladly pay for no ads on games I like but please be reasonable about it, this app is not reasonable so I’ve deleted it and will not return. Lots of other games exist.
  23. [R81] Stealth Master 3/5 · US Ads and False Advertising: So games really fun I like it a lot but. REALLY big but there are WAY TO MANY ADS GENUINELY, AND I DONT WANT NO GENERIC RESPONSE “they help us continue the devolpment of the game” you have NEVER updated it once since I download 3 years ago. Also btw when the red crate on bosses pops up at says 57% chance and I gotten it once out of 1-50 I swear and there are ads every l
  24. [R82] Stealth Master 2/5 · US Gameplay CONSTANTLY interrupted: It could be a very fun game. The problem is that you truly can’t play for more than 30 seconds without a pop-up ad. Every time you use the elevator, another ad pops up - some of the ads last longer than it took to play the game to get to the elevator in the first place. Also, The game mechanics are not honest. When you get to the masters level, you’re given a scree
  25. [R83] Stealth Master 5/5 · US Exceptional Relaxation Game: This game is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a game with great animation graphics, options for character development, skins, and upgrades, this game is for you. It keeps you engaged but not overwhelmed. Its perfect for relaxation and challenging enough to keep you engaged. Its a must have.
  26. [R95] Hunter Assassin 3/5 · US Eh: Game is fun enough. Its free with ads and you can pretty much skip the ads by exiting and re-entering the game. Not much point to the cash though after upgrading weapons. Wish it was more challenging.
  27. [R96] Hunter Assassin 1/5 · US Too many ads. Don’t bother: You’ll spend more time watching ads than playing.
  28. [R97] Hunter Assassin 5/5 · US Fun!!!: I got this game a while ago and you get to play as different characters on the game. The BOSS levels are so scary. Your phone vibrates while he’s walking and he gets super mad looking for you. It’s a ton of fun!!!
  29. [R98] Hunter Assassin 3/5 · US Very fun game but way to many ads: This game is really fast paced and fun but an ad after every level really puts a damper
  30. [R107] Western Sniper 1/5 · US Still see ads after I paid $9.99: Why am I still seeing ads after I paid $9.99 for no ads? Also the ads are a too spicey. Thought I was playing a simple no brain game for fun. Disappointed.
  31. [R108] Western Sniper 5/5 · US Amazing: This game is actually fun and easy if you just know how to play games😂
  32. [R109] Western Sniper 3/5 · US Typical "no ads" game: Typical no ads game, but for $10 you can play without ads. Do not download it
  33. [R110] Western Sniper 1/5 · US Ads: Great game. Way too many ads. Then they got me to pay 9.99 to stop ads and there were JUST AS MANY ads.
  34. [R56] Bowmasters 1/5 · US day ruined at 2:18 am: this is honestly one of the worst experiences i’ve had in a mobile game, and btw it is nothing like it used to be, i used to play this when i was younger and it is nothing like it used to be. the second you open the app they try to get you to buy things by throwing pop ups in your face. you can’t go 3 minutes without an ad. do not waste ur time
  35. [R58] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Huge money scam: Installed this game thinking it would be fun, literally never got to the main menus/playable spot once loaded as there is an immediate pay wall that you can’t even play the game without paying a subscription.
  36. [R62] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Too many ads and pop-ups: This is horrible, every few seconds an pop-up ad gets in your way and it keeps popping up after exiting out, thus too many ads when playing that take too long. Because of this I can’t enjoy playing this game. This game is ruined by ads.
