  7. [R63] Geometry Dash Lite 3/5 · US Ads: This is a good game but it is so ad infested it’s not even funny. You get to die one or two times before you get an ad.

  16. [R18] Retro Bowl 3/5 · US Repetitive play Without Crucial Updates: The game is an excellent style of football, it’s unique and without a doubt is one of the top games to download. HOWEVER, updates are needed for people to consistently play and take it to the next level!
