Community Insight:
Great game but there is one thing the that we think is funny if you are block level 80 and upgrade you rail gun to level 100 its so easy to get through all tho the other weapons we havent unlocked yet are like 9b which we cant even get the most we have got is only 10million lower the prices please and thank you.
The game is cool, but can you make more games.
Basically while we were upgrading our yellow cannon, a gift came down at our cursor and at the same frame time, it spawned some gold for an ad, but while we were seeing it, it was spamming our upgrade we were supposed to upgrade five times on block Lv 62. Thats how we lost our 4m gold. Developers if youre reading this you should make those gifts go below the upgrade bar if there is an upgrade bar still on your screen.
W game we like it its fun. But please add something to where our level auto goes up rather than us have to press it everytime. Id literally pay for it pleaseeeeee.
It is a fun game and l like it just as GTA5.
Fffggffjljffkghhdumcfjifgkhf ,,cel ..o we.
Our fav game a beat it already and we now want more please add more things to buy.
Really good game but so for everything that cost real money for star multipliers are all prized over its by like lets say the two stars and pretty sure is three dollars but the $50 is lower its $49 so have you done that on purpose and just why is that.
Great game fun and easy to get lost in the game. Just wish there was more.
We tried to upgrade but it make a million sound per sec.
Gone are the days where you can play a game without the absolute requirement to pay a hefty amount or watch constant ads. You get a good amount of stars with ads but the ads are 30 seconds plus 10-15 seconds for their close out button to be clickable. Though even with those ad stars you still come to halt. The game has a good design but it gets boring after a bit because you literally cannot progress.
This game is very addicting and we would love to see more games like it. :).
Its a game, not much else..no forced ads..nothing negative a bit repetitive, but yea Its a game.
Our favorite idle game to play in between meetings.
WOW! We are impressed on how fast youve fixed it. Now we bet you are going to get more 5 star reviews. Yall are spectacular.
Its a really good game and we really gave it a 5 stars cuz we wanted to but we stopped playing this game after like 10 months than when we joined every time we open the app it just closes? Please fix this issue.
Game was working fine on iPhone 13 until the most recent update. It now crashes repeatedly within 4-5 seconds of opening the app. Restart device and reinstall app has not fixed issue. Would love for this to be fixed.
Great game but no risk when the bubbles go down they stop so there is losing pled make it to where you keep stuff but start over is a bubble goes to low.
It doesnt support our apple iPad and we cant play this game correctly sense it doesnt fit our screen and we cant upgrade a thing pls fix this issue.
No matter where we tap game doesnt respond at all every game works but not this one.
We played the game then we saw in the ads you could upgrade so we downloaded it then we saw we could not upgrade.
Used to play this game all the time but it no longer opens- just immediately crashes every time we try. Total bummer bc we were getting pretty far in it.
Fun game when you can get it to work. Seems to crash a lot even after resetting everything. Hope they can get it fixed.
To be fair, we can reach the mid 1200s. Before the update, we could buy all the upgrades before 900. Though the increase in levels is great, did the prices have to jump so significantly? Buying levels in stacks of 500, even at the max discount, are costing 400 billion units. The newest towers cost in the quadrillions. Thats just to unlock them. Was there a massive increase in the costs that the update log missed? Im pretty sure the prices were a bit lower than they are now. Still playing. Maybe we can get some amazing card that makes the cost increase more bearable.
After level 275, the star spawn rate drops significantly. The cost to get a new cannon is far too high. It shouldnt cost 15 billion to buy a weapon that is completely useless till you level it up a few hundred times.
If we were to purchase the 50x star income that cost 50 dollars, Is it permanent even if we restarted our prestige? Or do we have to repurchase again when we restart our prestige? We dont want to purchase a increase in our star income that cost 50 dollars if we just have to keep purchasing over and over again when we restart the prestige.
We have played this for a while. The prestige system is pretty useless, as it makes a minuscule difference in regard to making it to higher levels. The game is enjoyable if you buy the (when we bought it) $14 no ad option since you get every bonus for free after that. But doing that makes getting new cards less appealing because you wont need them much until you get every cannon maxed out and need something else to increase damage. Ive almost lost interest in the game because there isnt much higher end game options to keep things exciting since prestige is broken and cannons max at 20,000.
So Ive actually been enjoying this game for a while now, we even bought the no ads which made the game much more enjoyable, however, what is making us kind of bored is the limit on how many cannons we can buy. We know 20,000 sounds like a lot, but once we have them all in 20,000 we just hit a brick-wall of bubbles (around block level 1,300). Another thing that bothers us is the main cannon being so weak in the higher levels. We feel like that should be our main use of damage since we can control it, but its constantly outshined by the end cannons. We would love if you were to make these changes as it would make the game more fun for all the users who have spent a lot of time on the game, thank you.
We cant buy any upgrades when we play on our iPad so it gets really annoying to try and enjoy the game when Im only level two and theres no way we can improve that can you please update to where the settings can let you have a center mode where the screen will be slightly smaller so that way you dont have to struggle trying to upgrade stuff.
Im on ipad and each time we go in the app theres a black part and we cant even upgrade or anything all we can really do is just watch.
It wont work we cant press anything we tried restarting our phone and installing it.
Making up saying that makes the entire screen this game because we dont like the half screen it really is annoys us and if it doesnt get the full screen we are deleting the game forever never never never ever making up saying that makes the entire screen this game because we dont like the half screen it really is annoys us and if it doesnt get the full screen or else we will delete the game forever and ever and ever and never reinstalle it ever again not even once not even not even a single TIME.
We need mobile you have to reinstall the game so it delete it then turn it the other way then play but its still getting rated one star.
This is the first time reviewing a game and unfortunately it isnt a good one. This game looks like it has so much potential to be fun but unfortunately playing on an 11 iPad the resolution isnt setup to work on this device. BIG black bar on the right side of our screen, and cant see upgrades on the bottom because of resolution. Until that is fixed unfortunately a 1 star will stick for us. :(.
Started just ok, then the updatesnow its awesome.
First time we downloaded this game was yesterday and after we got on it crashed but today it let us play its really worth it though.
Okay okay Im sorry to bother but Im not going back to the end of the house.
Always crashes so we had to restart an delete it.
We understand that games like this make money via ads, but there at literally 8 icons on our screen at once, suggesting we watch an ad for a bonus. Not to mention a request for bonuses at every interaction with the game. You leveled up? Watch an ad for a bonus You got a card? Watch this ad for another bonus. Thought it was a free gift floating down the screen? Sorry, watch an ad to get it. Uninstalled.
Its just instantly crashing (we deleted it, restarted our phone, and tried other things but it wont work).
As our title says we cant do install the app at all.. The ads made it look fun and we thought it might be a time waster for a couple of days. If we could actually play the game we would not be giving 0stars.
It could be better but overall its a great game.
Its rlly fun to play idk what to say.
This is a great game super satisfying.
Such a simple design, with the leveling up features this game is a great way to pass the day.
Games good but doesnt continue leveling up if your not in the app, should have it continue if your online and if not in the app at all.
This game is VERY ADDICTING! Love the leveling up aspect and simple concept.
When you are in landscape mode the game glitches putting the whole thing on the left side of the screen. The game still runs but you cant upgrade or anything. Otherwise the game is great.
The game is on the left and we cant upgrade.
The game was glitching and it was a little screen but overall it is still fun.
