Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Out of all the Voodoo games Ive installed on our phone, this game is always the one we come back to. We didnt like how you used to be able to pick up every color of beads right from the start. But thats all fixed now so FIVE STARS.
Need more levels and skins and modes and more time.
Its a super fun time wasting game but once you get so many beads it gets super laggy and cant make it back to your base.
Its very slow and kinda get Boring. Not hard.
There is no incentive to play. You dont get points or experience. Sure you can crush your opponents and take their beads but you get nothing for winning. Its no fun to just constantly do the same thing over and over again for no reward.
We liked the game until it updated, now it has ads. We will be deleting this game. We dislike the ads and how there is one after every game you play.
Thank you thank you for changing the game back.
We really enjoy this game and its great to pass time. We just wish they would add a score system or leveling up. Currently you just play a round and have the scores shown, there is no overall levels or ranks Also the world domination mode is 10x more fun than just collecting any beads without kills, please dont take that away again.
This is the only application that can make our phone over heat , at most we can play one maybe two rounds before it gets too hot to handle which we have been informed has to be a software issue from the processor being overworked by the software itself. Was informed software may have a bug if this occurs. The game seems to be all AIs no real life people as we have never lost a single round.
This games a great time killer, for sure. But the newest update, where you can immediately pick up any color from the beginning has removed any challenge from the match. Its definitely not a update that will stop us from playing all together, but we do find ourselves getting bored quicker because of the lack of challenge.
New update is a step backwards. Enjoyed beating all the others to get their colors.
So we liked the game until the most recent update. Before you started off as only being able to collect your color, once you killed another player, you could then pick up their color until you collect all colors and get world domination. Now that its updated you start off being able to collect all the colors and it makes the game less challenging. We would like to see a new update so that it goes back to the way it was. Until then, we dont think we will playing anymore.
Since you updated yesterday we can pick up all colors right from the start. Not nearly as fun, just a race to pick up beads instead of a challenge to find all the other color magnets and be bigger than them so you can get their color beads. We hope this is a mistake you are fixing already.
The idea of this game is awesome! But we would like if it had different types of modes to play! Like endless,classic or even who last the longest! Gets kinda boring playing the same thing not winning any trophys or any kind of rewards.
We love the game we played it for a long time but with this last update which was a long time ago our iPad version cannot purchase a power ups almost impossible to win without having any of those nifty little power ups we wish youd fix the problem its a great game to play its addicting as all get out we love the game but unless thats fixed we mean we have no other choice but to delete it it works great on our phone but Im gonna be losing a substantial amount of coins ones that we purchased and ones that Ive earned we hope you can fix the problem we have written quite a few times about it we hope that you see this one thanks in advance.
Its so fun its so satisfied two us.
On the iPad mini we cant purchase boost because the buy butting is below the bottom. New iPad mini lasted version 3-9-21.
We used to love this game but u hate the fact that youre playing against robots. And the option to start bigger is unfair. Because we dont want to watch an every single game. And the people that starts bigger always win because the ones that doesnt have less chances of winning.
We like this game a lot. We would give it 5 stars. But Ive realized that you arent always playing against the same people or even real people? You can start with or without starting bigger (which requires you to watch an ad). You can watch half the ad and quit it in the middle and still join the game. If we dont choose to start bigger by watching an ad, we get to start immediately. But if our opponent chooses to start bigger, they must watch that 30 sec ad. So why do we start at the same time when we forego the advantage?? Then there are instances where we take the advantage. And we doubt everyone else waits for us to watch our ad to start. They start immediately. Time wise that is impossible. We think we are all just playing against computers.
They dont tell you about power ups, more experienced players take advantage of you, we think after you get world domination you cant have power ups used on you its not fair, if they do. Its impossible to by skins or power ups based off where the screen is located. Im not even near some players and automatically its like x player can eat and take your beads. Very very very very (did we mention very) glitchy:(.
The game wont s fun but half of the adds dont load also they should have more maps and game modes.
Sooo they are many ads in the middle of games. We dont appreciate it! Just get rid of some of the ads but for Im deleting.
Love this game, but there are way too many ads, and no way to exit out of them early. Not to mention, theres a whole 30 second ad smack dab in the middle of the game. Makes us not want to play at all.
Game is good but ads pop up right in the middle of games. Yes. In the middle. And you cannot skip them.
Ads pop up in the middle of playing the game.
We rated this game a 2 because theres more ads the man there is game play.
Was rated 5 cause the game is cool… But the ads come on mid game… We understand at the end or before a game, but kid game is just frustrating.
We downloaded this game a few years ago and There was barely any ads! Now there is a game after every game then IN THE MIDDLE OF UR GAME THERE IS AN AD! We literally feel like Im watching an ad every few seconds we get annoyed and close the app out! Will be deleting this game.
They gave us advertisements while playing game literally like who does that you can give advertising after game.
Muchos anuncios y no disfrutas del juego para todo es un anuncio.
Ads after every game, and before every game, and during the game. We have to sit through 3 ads, to play a 2 minute game. Thats asinine.
Too many adds Even add breaks in the middle of a round Who does that.
We understand that a free game is going to have ads but putting an ad break in the middle of a game as well as an ad after every game is ridiculous. We would give this 0 stars if possible.
Fun game but to many ads to the point where it makes it un playable. Ad before game starts and ad after game ends and EVEN an ad during the middle of the round. And this game is not worth the 2.99 to go ad free.
The closer to the end of the round, the more difficult it is to control your magnet/beads. Its no longer a smooth control and follow, but a stagnant choppy hell. This is both on WiFi and perfect signal.
When playing the game its annoying to get an ad during a whole 30 seconds of game play. The things move kinda slow too, if ur smaller u should move faster we think. Idk.
We wish we could give it more because we really do like the game but the ads are absolutely horrible having a mid game break for an ad is terrible. Honestly you could probably get more ads played if you didnt scare away everyone with 2-3 ads for one game. And there is not enough to the game for someone to pay for the ad free experience. Which leads to our next point the game is just kinda point less and the rounds are way to short there should be an endless mode or something longer than the 2 min right now. Honestly we think this game has a lot of potential but you are going to need to be less greedy to get it there.
Im used to games on the App Store having way too many ads and making the game unplayable. Ive never played a game where the gameplay is interrupted so terribly by ads. Absolutely stay away from this game.
Too many ads and gameplay is all against bots. Also pay to win.
Just like every other .io game except that this one will play an ad for you right in the middle of the round. Rounds are too short, ads are too plentiful. Fix this.
We used to like this game, and play it all the time. The update that adds ADS in the middle of the game is wack! Then you cant even skip the ad. Now its garbage. If we can give it negative stars we would.
This is a good game except the fact that its super freakin laggy.
People can start off bigger and prevent other players from getting to a bigger size by stealing their beads before they can drop them off. Secondly it plays ads in the middle of a round and well anywhere in the app just so many ads. And finally the rounds are only 2 minutes long they should be longer. So if you remove the ability to start off bigger, reduce the amount of ads, and make the rounds like 5 or so minutes long it would be better.
Without so many ads the game could be fun but it is just so annoying to completely stop what your doing to watch some stupid ad.
The ads are way too frequent. They pop up in the middle of a game and interrupt everything. In addition if you watch an add you can start larger than other opponents which obviously is an unfair advantage.
Listen hear us out we liked the gameplay and all but we literally got ads every 20 seconds and we couldnt get off then there was no X button and whenever u reopened the app it just sent us to the website or to the App Store.
We never have written a review before but this game has really crossed the line. U have played a total of 2 games and we had received 4 ads that we could not skip. We spent way more time watching advertisements then actually playing this horrendous joke of a game.
This game is 75% ads they dont even let you play a full round before they show you the same ad over and over agin it would be fun but the ads ruin it we would not recommend this game.
Worse than Voodoo games ads literally interrupt you in the middle of a game.
Too many ads. We cannot stress enough how many goddamn ads there are.
