Pick Ammo Fever if

  4. [R7] Ammo Fever 1/5 · US More like AD Fever: Avoid this cash grab, the gameplay loop is very boring and you are littered with ads per round that you end up watching more ads than watching the game play.

  9. [R1] Ammo Fever 1/5 · US Ad heavy: Way too many ads
  10. [R4] Ammo Fever 1/5 · US this game sucks: EVERY 25 SECONDS A 30 SECOND ADD POPS UP
  11. [R10] Ammo Fever 1/5 · US Dear god: First of all the gameplay got stale after 5 minutes, there’s no strategy beyond just making sure your numbers are bigger and the main issue here, is the ungodly amount of ads, I counted about 5 unprompted in 1 level, this is asinine, never make a game again.
  12. [R9] Ammo Fever 3/5 · US -1 inconsistent (reward)ads, -1 low reward ads: Hello developer, developers team Hope your days are going smoothly! ^_^<3 I like to request a more “in game “consistency in “reward ads” they take a moment or more to just give an ad to get x2+ this inconsistent reward options for ads it’s not satisfying, inconvenient in waiting longer then necessary. Xp hero app= has 100% consistent rewards ads t
  13. [R18] Ammo Fever 3/5 · US Good but broken: The game is good but I can’t equip guns
  14. [R21] Ammo Fever 3/5 · US I like it but it needs work: I’ve managed to get to level 6, but I think there might be a bug in the game. I don’t always get money as I’m defeating the enemy so it’s hard to upgrade the ammo boxes. So I end up not being able to get past wave number 5 on that level. Which is a bummer. It would be nice if there were more upgrades, like you could upgrade how much defeated enemies drop and maybe some

  17. [R51] Ammo Fever 3/5 · GB It’s Okay (to many forced adds): Don’t mind watching adds to get a boost in game and bonuses but when you’ve just watched one for a bonus then giving you another forced add 5 seconds later is kinda ridiculous, Also £4 to remove adds is also ridiculous for the quality and depth of the game itself
  18. [R63] Tower War 3/5 · US Fun but frustrating: The game is very fun. But the adds after every level (they start with a bunch of levels and no adds, then ask you to rate the game. Then it’s an add after every round) are just too much. So you buy add free. Only 7 bucks. And yet you still have to watch adds to progress. I understand they have to make money, but man do they gouge. It’s too bad, cuz I would play this game a
  19. [R99] Tower War 3/5 · US Ads: I paid to remove ads but ads keep popping up
