Pick Money Rush if

The overwhelming negativity in reviews for both apps is primarily due to the aggressive ad monetization strategy, which is typical for free mobile games.

  1. [R6] Money Rush 3/5 · GB it’s ok, but really annoying!: when i saw the adds for this game i though that it looked really cool and decided to purchase it and play the game. i though that i would be starting off levels with money instead of coins so that was a big disappointing. one thing that i find hard is opening new shops and becoming rich! omg it takes forever to get enough money to open new stores like the hospital; t
  2. [R12] Money Rush 3/5 · GB Amazing, but cliche gameplay: I frickin’ love this game! It’s so addictive! The bit where you build areas is such a creative idea! And I doesn’t just stay at one price, it gets more expensive as you go on! But the gameplay is an overused cliche. It’s the usual ‘this or that’ things, and the ‘increase and decrease’ and the thing where you have to collect keys to unlock this sheet of chests, and col
  3. [R20] Money Rush 4/5 · GB Addicting but less adds: This game is SO good and honestly I’m addicted. I was getting this game thinking it was going to get boring and just delete it after a day or a couple hours. This game has another feature where you like unlock buildings and it actually encourages you to play the game. I would honestly get/recommend this if you want a game to just relax and keep playing and playing a gam
  4. [R40] Money Rush 4/5 · GB Idk: It’s a great and fun game but it makes it really hard for me as I’m from britain, and here we don’t use dollars or cents we use pounds and pence , so maybe that’s something that you could add, I know it probably would take a while but I think it’s something that many people would appreciate
  5. [R1] Money Rush 1/5 · GB Awful!: This game is terrible! The advert that this videogame showed me was so bad.. if you played the game properly it might make me actually want to play it (I only downloaded it to write this review)My second point is that there are adverts every 10 seconds so it makes the game impossible to play… that is why I will be deleting it right now!
  6. [R3] Money Rush 3/5 · GB Ads 👎: It’s a great game and fun to play but every 1-2 mins there is an add. The game is mostly adverts so it’s not very interesting after a while. 😐
  7. [R10] Money Rush 1/5 · GB Look: This game is what I thought would be good but it is crap you have to watch an add every 10 seconds
  8. [R15] Money Rush 3/5 · GB Fun and all but a slight prob: ok so this game is really fun and good ! I’ve been addicted the graphics are ok and it’s easy to get a lot of money, but the problem is that after every short round a 30 second add comes in and the amount of adds is making me go crazy! Please fix that and make this a game not an add :)

  12. [R21] Money Rush 3/5 · GB To long: Once again as soon as you get so far the app starts taking ages to load then ages to go between stages of the game this is ridiculous it took me 20 minutes to play two levels because of all the waiting on loading and this is the sending download and the same issues
  13. [R5] Money Rush 5/5 · GB It’s a good game but: It is so sexist what is we want a girl avatar not a boy it should be an option you can not do one gender without the other that is their sexist
  14. [R8] Money Rush 4/5 · GB Game: I think u could make it a little bit more like the ads But overall 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
  15. [R68] Money Buster 3D 4/5 · US Luv it but need more levels different kind: So I played like 101 levels and it got boring 🥱 because there were more harder or different kind of challenges
  16. [R72] Money Buster 3D 4/5 · US Good game but…: I think this is an awesome game and I really recommend it!! There is just one thing though: It is repetitive. At first it was really fun but after a while it repeated the same levels. I think if there was more levels and a little less repetitive then it would be a little better. Please consider this but besides that it is an amazing game definitely get it!!
