  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. [R35] Bazooka Boy 5/5 · US The good stuff: I’ve been playing games for over 55 years and I know what makes a great game and they have nailed it on this game take my word for it you won’t be disappointed 😎❤️
  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. [R39] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US Meh!: Just ok. Entertaining. Would be better if you add some new levels. And corrected all the glitches
  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. [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
  7. [R10] Bazooka Boy 2/5 · US An Ad at every level: I like the game, but there are WAY TOO MANY ADS!
  8. [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.
  9. [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
  10. [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.)
  11. [R6] Bazooka Boy 3/5 · US Good, but crashes: Everytime an ad pops up, the game crashes.
  12. [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
  13. [R5] Bazooka Boy 5/5 · US ???: I just wanted to let everyone know that some of the adds on the very bottom of the game shows real naked women. Please remove that or I will report you
  14. [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.
  15. [R68] Count Masters 5/5 · US W game: This game is super fun and I love it when I’m in the car and don’t have any Internet. I can always play this game. This is always my day game, though the ads are annoying when you have Internet, but usually I just turned my Internet off, but overall this is the best game I have ever played with no Internet.
  16. [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.
  17. [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
  18. [R41] Bazooka Boy 5/5 · US Paid for no advertisement… but…: I’m now getting ads and “Development” splashed across the screen.
  19. [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!
  20. [R72] Count Masters 3/5 · US Is there more to it ?: Ok played the game and took over the whole US continent , now what ?
