  8. [R30] Find the Alien 3/5 · US I mean it’s a good game but…: Too many ads, and the loading may take a loooooong time, I had to wait for 40 minutes and it still didn’t load. Wouldn’t really recommend to ppl, I hate to be a hater but this game is also really laggy, it keeps freezing, going in pictures, if you know what I mean…anyways, I’m not saying “this is so horrible don’t download it!” I’m saying it’s pretty cool of a game an
  9. [R3] Find the Alien 3/5 · US So much ads: Their are Adds between every level it gets old very quickly It makes it not fun
  10. [R4] Find the Alien 1/5 · US Why the ads when I paid: I just paid a few dollars yet you constantly are redirected to ads.
  11. [R6] Find the Alien 3/5 · US Ads: There is way too many ads
  12. [R10] Find the Alien 1/5 · US Adds: Way too many adds 😤 😡

  14. [R67] Galaxy Attack 2/5 · US Cool Game But: Game creator does respond to issues. Game has not been working well. Lots of ads to get assets in game. Most times, the ads do not work, which stifles playing and makes it frustrating.
  15. [R73] Galaxy Attack 1/5 · US Cheaters: It looks like they have deleted my reviews in some way, Latest update they started to freez the plant to prevent you to win. Update: I really never seen like that cheating in this game, it’s developers kill’s themselves to let you lose. They used up normal and irregular ways to let you loose, including freezing your plans sometimes. I just deleted it, as it is not fair and not game.
  16. [R97] Galaxy Attack 2/5 · US Fun but has some bad bugs: If you do a lot of stuff and then go to open a hextech chest it may pop up a synch dialog and hangs. I lost fifty dollars worth of purchases because of this and they aren’t responding to my email
  17. [R36] Find the Alien 3/5 · US This game is mid: Every Level is ok, but when reaching a weapon or scanner I have to watch an ad just to get it and even if I payed $2.99 to remove ads I will still need to have more access to unlock more guns and scanners without watching ads. Speaking of ads. Every level you complete I get an ad over and over please fix that.
  18. [R55] Find the Alien 1/5 · GB Adverts constantly: Bought and paid money for the game for my little boy so it wouldn’t have adverts however still does have adverts even after purchasing it to have ‘without ads’ and you can’t get out of the ads without completely shutting down the game or being forced to the App Store to buy the ad. Bit of a con in my opinion
  19. [R79] Galaxy Attack 2/5 · US Turns into pay to win too quickly: Was fun at first, but as you progress the stages become too difficult to complete and require upgrades that aren’t available unless you make in app purchases to gain said upgrades. No longer fun.
  20. [R81] Galaxy Attack 3/5 · GB Good but…: If you are the developer (or A developer) you have probably seen reviews regarding the fact that ships and other currency’s are extremely hard and often force the player to go P2W instead of F2W. The game has a very long history of P2W, first releasing 2022? 2020? I am a veteran of the game and has experienced the game a way no player should. For example: one of the- no several of the s
  21. [R82] Galaxy Attack 1/5 · US Don’t bother: The game sucks you in and then u see u HAVE TO SPEND MONEY to advance !!!! Also the ads are getting longer and longer. Long story short, they just want your money….
  22. [R103] Galaxy Attack 1/5 · US Too many bugs and fixed PvP Matches: This app is only made to make money for the developers. It cheats and short changes you in all aspects of the game, from disappearing advancements, to continued upgrades; where you upgrade your ships, drones whatsoever to only become obsolete and useless in matter of days. You pay = You Win pretty much sums it up.
  23. [R31] Find the Alien 1/5 · US There’s a glitch: The glitches on the level with the bus hit boxes of people still there can’t hit alien fix it!!
