  11. [R4] aquapark.io 1/5 · US TOO MANY ADDS!!!!!: So annoying
  12. [R6] aquapark.io 3/5 · US Absolute poo poo ad: I was tryna play game but new ad unskipible by the way, pops up stay there for a minute making random noises. I hate the ad. The game is fun.
  13. [R14] aquapark.io 4/5 · US Nostalgic, but…: This game has been an amazing part of my childhood, but after return to it after 7-9 years, nothing has really changed other than the weird KPDH ripoff skin. The game is too easy and all I really have to do is yeet myself off the slide and fall into the pool. The AI uses rubber banding to catch up with me but even then it’s still too easy. Voodoo, please, this game is #2 in racing
  14. [R26] aquapark.io 5/5 · US I like playing but a lot of ads: The one star missing is because there are WAY too much ads but mostly it’s super fun. Here’s a bug, some levels are closer to the pool which I can fly to, you should make it further because then it is really easy to win. Also, you should make some more game modes to make the game more enjoyable.
  15. [R27] aquapark.io 3/5 · US great game: would have been better if there were less ads. every time you finish the game, ads. please, just lessen it. if possible, at least 2-3 games before ads.
  16. [R43] aquapark.io 2/5 · US Love it but too many ads🙁: Love the game but after every single round there is an ad. If the creators of this game read this review, please fix it so there’s not as many ads. Thanks!😘
  17. [R19] aquapark.io 1/5 · US Real review: No way anyone is rating this higher than 1 star….the enemies are terrible. You go down the slide for .01 second hop off go all the way down to the pool. YEAH I WON. Click next round. 1 minute advertisement. Okay a lot of games have an ad here or there…go down the slide .01 second hop off…pool win advertisement…you get about 10 seconds of playtime to every 1 minute of advertisement. Le
  18. [R24] aquapark.io 3/5 · US So many ads: Every time I finish the game there’s like 3 ads
  19. [R55] aquapark.io 1/5 · US Get ready for the worst possible review that I could possibly make: You see when you want to download this game you first think that it will be fun right well that’s not the case because when I tried this dumb game, it gave me so much ads every second and I didn’t even win every time I won every time I played every time I had to get something ads ads ads now if you are that person that could be a
  20. [R61] Paper.io 2 2/5 · US Holy moly ads: The game is fun but there were three ads during one game not including the one before and the one after. Seemed to take away from the game play
  21. [R105] Paper.io 2 3/5 · US Fun but adds are annoying: Game is enjoyable. I am upset with the incessant adds. I even paid for them to go away but I still get pop up adds. I’m not talking about the adds you can choose to watch for more rewards. I’m talking about unavoidable non optional adds. I’m very frustrated that I spent money to remove adds and yet they persist. Worst yet, some adds will linger on the screen and never ha
  22. [R16] aquapark.io 1/5 · US Aqua Park: The game itself is cool but when you skip the teleport with you so they try to make to make you think that you’re playing with real people but they’re just bots.
  23. [R31] aquapark.io 2/5 · US Stuff: To many ads and it like u are going against robots
  24. [R67] Paper.io 2 2/5 · US X: Too many ads though I guess thats how they make money, I always get the feeling that I’m not actually playing against humans though when I’m playing online, or maybe I’m just really good at
  25. [R73] Paper.io 2 2/5 · US Wish it had real players: The game is fun but I really wish that it had real players. It’s very obvious that most if not all of the other players are bots (ads in the middle of games, you can close off a game and then come back hours later, etc.) which is frustrating because it’s advertised as being a multiplayer game. Seems like a pretty easy fix. I’m unsure why they chose to do it this way.
