  1. [R8] Bazooka Boy 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
  2. [R11] Bazooka Boy 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.
  3. [R38] Bazooka Boy 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
  4. [R54] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US My honest opinion: The game is fun and honestly, I love it but the weapons there’s just not enough to have fun all the time
  5. [R1] Bazooka Boy 1/5 · US Ads ads and more ads: Play one round for 3 seconds and then 1 minute of ads. No thanks!!
  6. [R2] Bazooka Boy 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
  7. [R4] Bazooka Boy 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.)
  8. [R6] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US Good, but crashes: Everytime an ad pops up, the game crashes.
  9. [R14] Bazooka Boy 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
  10. [R19] Bazooka Boy 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.
  11. [R7] Bazooka Boy 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
  12. [R13] Bazooka Boy 1/5 · US This Game SUCKS: Too many ads.
  13. [R17] Bazooka Boy 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?”
  14. [R10] Bazooka Boy 2/5 · US An Ad at every level: I like the game, but there are WAY TOO MANY ADS!
  15. [R15] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US Fun but very ad heavy: Moderately fun game, but the ads are waaaay too heavy. I only made it through a dozen levels before I got so fed up with the ads that I deleted the game.
  16. [R20] Bazooka Boy 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.
  17. [R67] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 1/5 · US Ads: I had no problem watching ads for gems but once the game made it require internet to force you to watch ads it became unplayable
  18. [R82] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 1/5 · US Bad app: Just allow you to play if you be online. When online the app keeps trying to stole your data.
  19. [R21] Bazooka Boy 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
  20. [R41] Bazooka Boy 5/5 · US Paid for no advertisement… but…: I’m now getting ads and “Development” splashed across the screen.
  21. [R45] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US Paid to remove adds but still receiving them: I like the game, but although the adds are less, they are still popping up during the game if I don’t start shooting quickly. Not to happy about that!
  22. [R22] Bazooka Boy 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.
