Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love that u can play with 2 players and it so challenging and so fun at the same time we wish we can give this game 10 stars.
Its a fun game but a lot of ads.
We enjoy this game as it takes you on a journey mode but only up to a certain point then it just stops! Stops! Journey mode OVER! It has an arrow to continue -but it doesnt-it just stops. Then youre forced to either play one player or two player mode. Two player is a joke because youre asked to put in a word for your opponent to guess. So we put in the code and it then asks you to guess the same word you initially put in! We WAS PLAYING AGAINST ourselves! Whaaat??? So we typically play one player mode which gets old. Now we have to admit we loved the people that drop off the cliff (etc) with misses-especially the girl in the pink top with the leg kick.
If you get the word correctly the score is the same no matter how efficiently you solve it. The words repeat frequently even if you alrady solved correctly.
We downloaded this app based on the reviews of others and we agree that it is a great new twist on the classic game. We would rate it higher if it didnt take so long to get to the game. We have to suffer through 2 or 3 ads of other games ( most of which we have already played and deleted) some that we cant skip. We will keep this for awhile, but if it gets too frustrating it will go in the trash like many others we have played.-.. We love the graphics but it takes too long to get to the game and we only get to play one game before more ads pop up! Way too annoying to enjoy the game. We can play Crush Words for hours and not see ads once. DELETED.
Made payment for no-ads version, and it continues showing the ads. Feel scammed.
Best game ever you get to have as many letters as you want.
We love guessing games. This one keeps you on edge, and on your toes . We Like the original approach to hang lol.
Just like the classic. It is so cool.
So when you download this app you wont get that bored like when we played with our mom she made worded for us and we made words for her and we made our dad some words so our family loves this even our sister and we love best is when you go in player 1 mode it lets you chose what you want to do like animals jobs and many more and when go into player 2 mode you get to choose what place you want to select like the original or the forest the ocean and lava and it so funny when the people fall in the game they fall into the pool with the sharks and they fall in the lava and in the forest they fall into stick we think? Go download this game if you want to play games with your parents or family and we promise you its even more fun then watching YouTube and whats best is you you dont get bored Ive played with our family for like 2 hours have a good day bye.
We think this game is amazing and a great way to play with you familys and friends and with your lovers ones.
We want to use this to help our granddaughter with spelling. But, in the two person mode, it doesnt check for correct spelling of the words entered. You can enter gibberish and it will accept it. Verifying against a dictionary would be an improvement.
We played this with our dad it was fun 5stars.
We really like this app its really fun and entertaining we always play with our friends but please add the category kpop we would really appreciate it if you add category kpop cuz us and our friends are HUGE kpop fans. We would appreciate if you add it, thank you if you read this. Have a nice day.
It helps us ans our besties not be bored ans have a great laugh and a good time.
We love and like this game because its fun.
This game is so fun to do pass and play with.
Its a good way to bond with family and friends.
We just got this game and started playing this game and it is so much fun.
So we love that if your playing with 2 people you can trick them.
Put it on airplane mode while playing and BOOMM.
Whoever made this game of hangman is a legend. The awesome thing about this game was that you can make a word and your friends have to try and guess It. We told you whoever made the game of hang man is a legend. Make sure your kids play this game and get guessing and writing words.
We love this game so mich it is the best hang man game ever.
One of our favourite games at school.
Download its! Its fun and has no ads. Also it has a lot of themes to choose from and difficultys. You can also play with people and its entertaining.
Shoutout to hangman. Its a great game because its super simple and exactly what youd want in a hangman, no extra floof. But besides that, started dating our boyfriend because of this game. He put the word girlfriend, we guessed it, and shortly after he asked us to be his girlfriend. :).
Hang man is so fun you have to think fast and we like that they dont put a stick man lol also whoever reads this keep trying and you will get better at it dont ever stop doing this because youre not gonna be good at this game please listen to us also they have some really cool music like a cool jazz music From addy to hang man.
We love this game we love that you dont need to pay and we like that you dont need any Wi-Fi its amazing whoever created this game is the best game creator in the world By Kassandra Suarez.
To much adds thats all we are going to say.
Please for the love of everything make the letters in QWERTY format so many mistaps because of the layout.
This is so good because it does not have many ads.
We love this game but you need to add a way to make multi word hangmans a possibly.
First of all, When you play pass and play their should be more themes and a space bar when your choosing the word. Second, a lot of the categories are really hard for smaller kids that play this game(which is very likely)Other then all that this game is so fun.
This game is just wonderful lol.
This game was verr fun and addicting just it has alot of ads.
We think the lives are unfair on the lava/ocean/forest or whatever and then casual original we think the original has more lives. We dont know though.
We love this game and get most of them correct. But, please check the spelling of German Shepard, which is what you have. But it should be spelled Shepherd, not Shepard. Thanks.
Rather tha. Have a man being drawn and ultimately hanged if you lose, this has people perched on ledges on a string who fall off if you pick a wrong letter. Too many wrong ones and they all fall odd and you lose. But, most importantly, you get to aww the word of you complete it, and you get to see what it was if you miss. So its worth it as a hangman game.
Its fun but you can put bad words in the generator.
There were ads really often, but we can skip them really fast and easy mode gave us tortoise and then some thing that didnt even know was an animal but overall its good good.
It would be nice to have a hint. Even the easy ones arent easy.
Was originally somewhat ok, now nothing but wall-to-wall ads constantly. Also has two significant flaws: It uses proper names, which is not how the game is supposed to work; and it also has a limited number of words that eventually repeat. Lazy and money-grubbing — we're deleting it.
When we really wanted to play hangman we hand no hangman so sad till we found this game it was perfect it was paradise til if you get the answer wrong they die that is pain they had a good life but than yall killed them like no 9 year want see that no parent want to see that change it to toys bye.
The game itself is not bad (even tho by level 50 we had repeated the same words multiple times). Whats bad is that they throw ads left and right. You win, you get and ad. You lose, you get an ad. You select the level, you get an ad. We understand thats how they make money, but we dont want to watch an ad every 3 seconds.
The adds on this app are right on top of the letters make it impossible to play! Why.
We love the game!!! Its really fun we recommend it to anyone who wants a good challenge. We really like how they let you and your family challenge each other by picking a word and letting the other person guess.The only this that Im not a big fan of are the ads. The ads are not really that bad because sometimes they are just pictures and they last like five seconds.Otherwise everything else is great. The last thing thats really cool is the cool background. For here are two of the four background Lava and Forest. We really enjoy this game. -HJ.
You should give this a five review too.
We dont mind an ad after a few games, but this game has them after every single solve! The game itself is very fun, but way too many ads. Yes, we can pay to remove them, but we dont like it that much.
We really like the game we like pass and play it really passed time thanks to the creator.
We just downloaded to play on our iPad but theres an issue with the orientation. When we turned it from landscape to portrait the ad bar runs right over the letter keys. Is the game made to only played in portrait mode? Kathy.
