So we think it good but it should be 3 for us theres no sound and we have to sounds on.
We loved this game for years but there was something Ive never played on and thats why we came here to ask here about this game, we have a BACKBONE controller and can you please make this game support console controllers? Thank you.
After we play a few challenges, we just get like two ads but its still pretty great but you think you just remove the ads and then add them after youre out of lives.
10/10 hands down the best DWTD game, but there are three glitches that keep on happening every time we play the game. The first one is that when Im in the middle we of a game an ad will pop up it seems completely normal so we skip it, then the next 1 or 2 seconds later another ad pops up which is random so we skip it then after that the music suddenly just disappears. The only reason why we put this 5 stars is because this is our favorite Dumb Ways To Die game. Im not saying its a terrible game but overall. Please fix this.
We love how before you start to play you have to do this mini game its like a train game.
Its super fun but there too many ads.
This game is fun Yvonne its hard.
Its a great game and all we love all of the mini games but can u add more characters we got all of them in one day so we would love it if there was like a character book just like the sticker book so that it can be like a collection (besides, its super satisfying when we press on the characters and they just drop) so thats one of them and the other thing, we would love it if when we play mini games we can collect tokens because we always run out then we have to watch an ad to get more so we would love that change. There is also 2 mini games that we seem to dislike, first the one where we have to tie the lace on the roller skate we have to make sure that the lace is perfectly traced on the line which is annoying and the second is the one where the small bean is fighting the bear, its always making us lose every time we press the button. Im not sure if we just have to make sure we hit it perfectly or whatnot but we would like the instructions to be more clearer. Other than those this game is hilariously amazing.
We love gore but we wouldnt actually Kill someone in real life just because of a game but we like challenging games.
We love this game, and its a great time killer. But the amount of ads is insane. Id say its 2 ads every one mini game. Its very annoying in our opinion. We wish it was like it was before and only play ads after you fail the mini games.
This game is amazing, the only things that keep it from being 5 stars is that we found a bug where when we got the keep the people off the tracks game it would be the background until we reopened the game. Also we have no idea how we keep the people off the tracks for that same game. Please explain better how to keep them off the tracks.
It would be a good game but im a slow poke so it looks really fun and it is lots of fun but you need to be quick like stretching out someone you need to focus on the screws and pull them but im not to quick so if you want this game (again) then you have to be quick.
When we were little and played the game a lot there was no adds. Few years later we started getting back into the game. Now theres a bunch of adds all the sudden. We lost motivation faster and we die easier.
This game is fun, but there is some bugs, for one, the touch seems to be very weird for us, sometimes our swiping or tapping doesnt even register, and another bug is that, well, obviously you need to make the game get harder so it gets faster overtime, well theres an issue, in one of the minigames it got so fast it didnt even let us react in time and we lost the game because of that, please fix those, fun game other than that.
We are never getting kicked out somehow.
Every time we play there are 4 ads per game and when we skip the ads and there a another ads starts.
We recently played all the dumb ways to die #2 is ok out of the bunch the ADS suck with all of these games and the hub world is a lot to look at Im not saying its bad it is just to flashy.
Was playing a gamein drown town. Ad starts. Game doesnt pause. Lost a life. Fix it.
After every single mini-game we do all of the sudden there are 2 ads and it makes it so we watch more ads then we play the game. Other than that, this game is great. But the ads are so annoying Im taking out 5 stars.
Theres a million ads. After like 3 little games, you get an ad. You get an ad whenever you lose. We even got an ad right after we decided we didnt want to buy the no ads feature! The game is fun, but the ads just ruin the gameplay and the concentration needed.
We had this game when we were younger and decided to install it again but there are to many ads and some glitches. Please fix this.
Im playing this game and some of the levels either dont have enough instructions or they go by to fast to read them like the surfing one where you have to hold the instructions go by to fast we had to redo it 5 times T get it and the maraca shake one we cant make it move we swipe up and down and left to right and it only bearly moved it might have said something else but again it goes to fast to read it one glitch we had was in the level where you had to fix the ramp for the car to jump over we fixed it but it still killed our bean.
The game is fun and not gonna lie we love dumb ways to die Ive loved it since we were little but the thing is back before their was even a dumb ways to die 2 their was barely any ads, now that we have this game all Im getting is ads and its getting annoying because an ad just pops up while Im in the middle of playing the game. And it takes up a lot of the potential to just buy no adds but honestly who wants to buy no adds when its just a game we mean if Im gonna spend money we would rather spend it on something Im gonna use or just have not a game.
We use to play this game back when we were a little boy, But now theres just way to many ads bro. And the game is barley playable. We understand the devs need money but bro, Theres gotta be a way to stop these ads Bro cause Im sick of it. Like respectfully Of course.
This game is good and we play it a lot but the amount of ads is ridiculous. Every time we fail we get an ad, every time we complete three we get an ad, when we get an ad we get another ad for that ad.
We used to play this game all the time when it came out and when we decided to redownload it to play, we found ourselves watching 6 ads after 2-3 challenges. We would watch a long ad and think it was done before a another ad would pop up. It was truly annoying. We miss when we were able to play through the challenges before getting an ad, even back then we never got an ad unless we asked for it to get another life. Truly sad.
Yeah the title for the review is pretty self explanatory ads every game or 2 and its prettying annoying considering how long this game has been out for.
We used to play this a lot as a kid but we think they added way more ads and its extremely buggy now. Maybe we just didnt notice/care when we were younger but it definitely bothers us now.
We absolutely love this game. But THERE IS WAY TO MANY ADS! Mini game after mini game is ads. ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS ADS Im getting really tired of it. It is so nostalgic though. But it would make it way better if you just took ads out of the game. Please consider doing it. For everyone it would be so much better.
Very tricky and very fun when we caught the hang of it but we had to keep closing the app and opening it again just to be able to play!!! We played just a round and it was ad after ad after ad, long ones, and then it would get stuck on a game ad and there would be no way back to the game.
Used to be so good but now theres ads literally every 2 levels its unbearable to play.
We remember when we used to play this game back in the day. It was all fun and no ads. We guess most of these games need financing to keep all these games rolling but this is getting kinda ridiculous, its sad.
This game is so much fun and we love all the mini games but the ads are constant. When we finish a game and survive, we have to watch 2 ads to move onto the next game. Im not paying 2 dollars.
What is the point of shoving a million more advertisements in this game, It was fine a long time before but now we have to watch two ads every challenge we finish.
Nearly unplayable and very frustrating bc there is at least one add, maybe more, every 20 seconds.
Use too be a Top 10 mobile game of all time now its just money hungry with the adds cant even play 2 mini games in a row without an add take us back too when there was no adds.
Although its a great game, it does have its flaws. When we messed up the guys on the train tracks, their image was on the next levels the entire time. It was also restricting our ability to see what we were supposed to be doing. And when we could see, we couldnt do anything.
We were so hopeful about this but every five seconds it was an ad. And you cant skip em. Not worth it.
We used to play this game when we were young and it was really fun to play and learning how many people die these days, so every time we lose a round, it pops up ads even if we pass or lose a round. This is not for us anymore, things change.
We used to love this game when we were younger, us and our dad would play it all the time. Its super disappointing that there is a ad like after every other challenge. So if you dont like ads or think its annoying when they pop up when youre playing we dont recommend.
So we read lots of the reviews and we always loved dwtd 2 because like it was our favorite but the dam ADS like they pop up and take all our mini game time like dam can u fix bc we love the dwtd series but like we're just tired of this god dam ads so fix pls.
We had an ad about every three challenges in a round. The game is so fun, but it seems like Im watching more ads than even playing the game.
We have downloaded this game several times with no issue on android devices but when we got our iPhone Se when we downloaded this game to play it anytime we have to swipe on the screen the game instantly closes we have tried everything to prevent this but nothing will work pls read this bc we really want to play it again but unfortunately cant thank you dumb ways to die 2 devs.
There is a bug where if u move ur screen it kicks you out of the game.
We really enjoy this game! Better, we purchased no ads, and Im no longer annoyed by these pesky ads! And even crazier, we even beat the poison cake minigame at such a hard level! There are lots of unique mini games, you should try it.
Your guys games are so good we enojoy it so much when im bored.
Ok.. 3..2..1.. Ive been playing this for a long time about.. 2 years and we think its never boring! All the levels are fun and some we dont like . Ive taken a break for die-ing in this game [im also sorry for the beans in this game seriously] five stars but 1 new island please we kinda hate the be safe around trains.
This message is going to the developers of this game and what we want to say is why doesnt this game work for us? It doesnt work for us for some reason and we dont know why and Im just gonna give it a one star thats why we love you we might give it to star.
Dumb ways to cringe Dumb ways to be happy Dumb ways to live Dumb ways to exist Dumb ways to consume stuff Dumb ways to clean Dumb ways to dirty Dumb modes of transportation.
Dumb ways to die is one of the greatest games back than not gonna lie.
