Recurring themes
Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoyed it in the past and are looking for a nostalgic trip, provided they can tolerate a high volume of ads R2R3R5. It might appeal to those seeking a free, casual building and combat game similar to Minecraft, but they should be aware of its limitations and issues R7. It is NOT for players seeking a polished, ad-free, or deeply engaging crafting/survival experience, or those who dislike games perceived as clones R9R10R23R59.
Evidence note: The recent reviews heavily emphasize the negative aspects, particularly the ads, which contradicts the high lifetime rating. The 'SDK Update' mentioned in the release notes is too vague to assess against user feedback. The overall score reflects the strong negative sentiment from recent users, balanced against the historical positive rating, indicating a significant decline in user experience over time.

- [R2] good game: damn i remember playing this game when i was younger maybe around 6-8 years ago. sad to see that not much people play it anymore. i found a game with 6 people which was shocking, but great game had so many good memories back then.
- [R3] Good old times.: damn. I remember playing this with my cousin, good times.
- [R5] My childhood game: I remember slight memories from when I was a kid playing this game but for hours cause how fun it was and finding it again made me happy getting old memories back sadly there’s no players tho
- [R7] My childhood.: I remembered this game after years. I spent hundreds of hours playing this game. Sadly, the game has fewer players now. I reviewed this out of pity, to combat these 5 year olds complaining about the textures and complexity. This game doesn’t have 4k graphics, but is still an extremely fun game
- [R4] Awesome just unexplainably awesome but why did you take away the spears?: Dear developers, So I used to play this when I was 5 and I can’t really remember because I was so young it seems All foggy. Okay, so I think there were other characters that you can choose like an astronaut or something. (Unless I think) And there were like mini catapults that you can hold and fire at your enemy. And the mus
- [R15] I won so fun: I won capture the flag it’s so fun and i just downloaded
- [R18] Hey I played this game a lot and I am playing it agin: So I played this game a lot back then and I wanted it back so I looked for it and found it and when I wrote this i just got it back so now I will play it bye. Oh and I love the game.
- [R1] ADS…: Its a great game love it but the adds what would make it better is take out the add breaks and the respawn add
- [R6] This game has too many ads: This game has way too many ads it gets frustrating,also the “your tired” thing is stupid because with already the absurd amount of ads when you die you have to watch another one when you get tired.
- [R8] I used to love this but…: When i usedto have this game, it was pretty fun but they were so many adds, and every single time i selected the caracter i wanted but i appeard with a different one. And i don’t really like the vioce chat
- [R12] The complaint: To many adds
- [R23] I used to love this game back in 2016: Only issue with the game is that every time you die you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Once you do the chances that you immediately die when you spawn back in are very high meaning you will have to watch another ad. If you even get to play for 30 seconds there are these pop ups that say “You are tired take a break” and FORCE you to watch an ad even if yo
- [R57] I like this game, but...: The only thing I don’t like is that whenever you play, the screen said that your tired and you click on the button and an add pop us; this is ridiculous. I mean really, what if you got the flag and all of a sudden an add pop up and someone killed you because you can’t play during the add. This is so dumb. I mean if you want to add a lot of adds, at at least add them every
- [R59] To many ads: This game has to many ads! When I’m in the middle of defending the game makes me “take a brake” and once I click on the button an ad pops up. And any time i almost do anything guess what AN AD POPS UP I do not recomend this game there are to many ads.
- [R9] Scam: This game copied Minecraft please don’t buy this app
- [R10] Copy: DEFINITELY A COPY OF MINECRAFT
- [R13] You know tons of people say some free things are best but this……………………………………………………………………: I’m not fine with this the textures everywhere I look oh a free Minecraft OH WIT UGLY REALISTIC TEXTURES sry but just make softer textures and don’t try to make knockoffs #to devs.
- [R35] Die In A Hole.: First of all, I haven’t downloaded the game yet and this game is still CRAP. Why Would Y’all Think That people would download a game exactly like Minecraft. The Reviews. The Ratings. I wish Minecraft would sue people for making Ripoffs of their game Also From what I’ve seen all of the games that Minecraft have in Common Are Trash. Bad Game. Horrable.
- [R11] Read this first before you get the game: It’s so bad and so hard. It’s so confusing at the same time like it’s not even like Minecraft which is easier. You know I think never get this game. It’s so bad never get it. It’s harder to build because you can’t. It’s hard to get the materials you need and when you’re on online for me it’s harder to get people to die because during a game I was playing wh
- [R16] Terrible: These people are killing me the CAPTURE THE FLAG IS HORRIBLE! And I don’t like the game so I took it because it was terrible and I didn’t like it and I say dying in the game is terrible and I don’t like it 😡 if you like then that’s fine and you don’t join my lead
- [R21] To many ads: Literally a ad every death is to much I say an ad every 5 deaths and the controls are hard
- [R27] Eh I’ll SPARE YOU {edited}: ITS BAD BUT ILL SPARE YOU- me 2020 well it’s been 2 years since I last played this (I think) and it’s still really bad. My neighbor wouldn’t want to play this with me and I would rather play a pay to win game than this- this unknown person in 2022
- [R24] Cool game: I like the game; only complaint is that it freezes at times when initially starting.
- [R28] Glitch is annoying: So first off great game but I hate it when you get on the giant or cyclops but you can’t look around so it really is hard to see and if you could put axis that would be really awesome in offline mode. Thanks for your service
- [R55] Sound problem.: I saw an ad for this game and thought, “this looks cool”, but when I opened the app my sound was coming out of the place I plug in my charger?! Pls fix this glitch although I don’t think it’s a glitch or if anyone else has experienced this glitch before but if you could pls fix this glitch that would be great! Thank you!
- [R67] Fun but to many breaks: I love this app but it is so glitchy and so many breaks:(
- [R30] Can you please remove multiplayer?: I was playing multiplayer and when I used the cannon the opponent killed me with only 1 hit and I had full health. They were hacking. Can you please remove multiplayer mode? I dont really like it.
- [R46] Love but there is problem: Love the game but there is problem once I was cleckting leaves to get to the dragon but I kept getting spawn killed so pls fix that like give it a 15 second thing so you can’t die
- [R87] To much hackers and adds: First when I was playing I saw a flying hacker.I could not even fight the hacker because he/she everywhere she looked killed people! Second to many adds way to much.I understand u need to make money some how but why can’t u just add adds before u start playing the game not during the game.fix this and I will play it again.
- [R26] Ideas for an update: This update is an idea of what may be upcoming, here are my ideas that should be added to the game. There are only 3 playable character skins in the game, there should be more character skins. There also should be more weapons such as a crossbow, flintlock, axe, and others And some extra new additions to the game that was never added such as wildlife, wildlife in the game coul
- [R45] Like this game, yet something is missing...: So I like it a lot, ever since I downloaded it, I’ve been playing at least 1 hour a day. But I got to the boring point where I didn’t like it because it was just pvp. I’d like if you’d make it more like minecraft, where you could actually travel around, then I’d prefer it. Also have a creative mode, because I LOVE those kinds of games where I can easily
- [R48] Stuff that would be nice: I loooove the game but the controls are harder than I thought I want to select for a joystick in the game and to show your health and more health because I get 1 shot by someone with a bow and I would like to get the ability to change your cam because it would make it a little easier to play for me and to Control the dragon and the map could be a little bigger other wise
- [R119] Like the game but there are to many adds: I like the game a lot but there are to many adds, for example I was running away from someone and they didn’t notice me, but then “you are tired take a brake”pops up on my screen, and by the time it ended there was like 3 people cornering my and I was killed. But other than that there is one more thing I don’t like about the game, that you have to watch a
- [R162] AAAAHHHHHRRRRRR: I GET KILLED EVERY TIME I SPAWN AT LEAST GIVE A SHIELD FOR TEN SECONDS!!!! that would make it much better
- [R230] New update is cool! But connection problems: The first few hours I got the update, I could get into online games just fine, but now it just say "establishing connection" and then "connection failed!", my connection was just fine though, Please fix this because I can't even play!
