How to do a free to play game right
Tue May 17 2022 Emergedfrog8First off the game is really fun, from the bonus coin banners to the grind in order to progress makes this game easy to pick up whenever I'm bored and leaves me satisfied with progress once I stop. The main point Id want to stress though would be the tasteful way that the app carries out doing Ads. So many mobile games bombard you with ads to a point where it isn't even fun, the fact that I'm never hit with an ad when I make progress while playing (i.e. The checkered checkpoint banners in lack of a better word)
The reward system for choosing to watch ads also incentives you to tap on the ad when you're about to beat your best. Ads are rarely if ever do non-optional ads pop up while playing. This is my first time writing an actual review but I felt that this game is worth it.
Great Game with Glitch
Sun May 08 2022 @theSPEDtchrThis game is awesome once you master the concept and upgrade your boulder. However, in one level, Cold Fields specifically, there are two instances where items that are normally destructible become invulnerable to damage. They simply roll around in your way and it’s nearly impossible to get through them. I played this level over and over to make sure I wasn’t trying to destroy things that can’t be destroyed, but after screen recording, I realized it was a glitch. You can get through these two spots if you’re lucky enough for the items to maneuver in the right way, but this is unlikely, as the avalanche moves quickly at these points. There is also another glitch where you watch an ad for gems and spend them for a revive, but it doesn’t work. The game takes them and you get stuck on the option to watch an ad. Hopefully these glitches get fixed soon.
UPDATE: The only way I got through the areas mentioned above is with the Phase Engine (let’s you pass through objects). I still believe this is a glitch though that needs correcting.
The game is fine, but to a point.
Sun Jan 16 2022 Yodel dodelIt’s a really well made game, a lot of effort was put into it, and getting better at the game is really fun. Playing it isn’t a bad idea.
But, once you reach the end, all progression stops, and you’re basically done with the game, unless they eventually add more levels.
The level design has its quirks, especially the endless mode, but it should be mostly alright.
To the devs, though, you guys really didn’t take well into account how problematic some of the level sets are when you really try to beef up your engine and mass level, there are quite a few bits where you have to know exactly where to purposefully slow yourself down or go into a specific bit or stop moving, or you end up smashing into the ceiling, or ramping up a loop you’re intended to go Down through, or hitting a wall so hard you’re unable to recover, and your run is instantly ended.
On the other hand, there really is so little diverse content in this game that once you get to a certain point it plays more like Dune or whatever game came before it than an explosion-destruction whatever game.
Has some kinks that need worked out
Wed Dec 29 2021 Kharing88Love the premise of the game, it’s fun and addictive. Somewhat of a grind but also skill is required to progress.
When you watch an ad to double your earnings or get an upgrade there seems to be a 4/10 chance of you needing to watch a second ad, as though it didn’t register you watched the first one. There’s even one ad that appears a lot which greys out the screen at the end and cannot be passed or closed out so it forces you to close the app to progress. Thus again losing any benefit you were attempting to get from the ad.
Additionally, please make it so that once you’ve spent your earned coins to buy a better weapon, that you then can’t waste gems buying the weapon you already bought. I did this accidentally and wasted 40 gems.
Good
Wed Feb 16 2022 Racer0986431The game is really fun. The progression is weird I beat the last 3 levels in 5 runs which means not a lot of upgrades. And then endless just makes upgrading more kinda pointless. I don’t like that there are certain points where your run can be completely ruined with no warning to slow down.
Overall I wish there was more content. And that progression didn’t feel useless towards the end of the game.
Also, buying legendary weapons is a hindrance more than a help. Because you don’t unlock the maxed out weapon just the opportunity to max it out. So it takes more coins to max it out
Money hogs >:(
Sat Jan 21 2023 Code winnerSo let me just say. This game is garbage it is fun at first yes. But once you get far enough in upgrades you need to use gems. About every 5 levels for an object for “the boulder” you need to use gems to upgrade more. Which I feel is stupid also gems are supper hard to get you can only get them with money or by adds and the adds are 30 seconds long and only give you about 3 or 4 if your lucky. Past that subject you also have the boulder. The boulder is the thing that the dude rides in. And so you can only unlock 3 of the slots for free. Yes I know the adds show you have 6 but that is a stupid lie you only have 4. But the 4 slot you need to pay 5 dollars for it. 5 DOLLARS. I know it is stupid the people how made this game are money hogs because the only “easy” way to get good progress in the game is by wasting 15+ to become “pro” and actually get to the second level.
Starts off good but immediately becomes a cash grab
Wed Oct 26 2022 randomk22I had high hopes for this game and I had fun for the first ten minutes until it gets to a point where it suddenly changes from using coins to upgrade thing to using gems and you cant get gems any way other than watching ads or progressing through the game. By the point that the upgrades change from costing coins, to gems, you will have 4 gems but some of the upgrades will cost 5. But there’s a point on the map where it’s “supposed” to give you that one gem you need, so you can upgrade but, once you reach it, you don’t get the gem that was marked on the map even though it said you would. So this game tries to make you feel like you’re so close to getting that gem but in reality, you aren’t getting that gem. This would’ve been a great game if it wasn’t a cheap cash grab.
Very sure most of these reviews are bots
Thu Nov 10 2022 whyiseverynicknametaken1738The game itself is super fun, but they completely ruin it by forcing you to stop leveling using gold and level using gems in order to go back to leveling with gold. Some of them are 5 gems, 6 gems, 12 gems but some are 46 gems. The only way to get gems is to complete achievements(which are tedious and the amount needed to complete them goes up exponentially) or to buy them for outrageous prices. These gems are needed to progress through the levels, however the only other way to get them besides the two ways already mentioned is to progress through the levels so it doesn’t even matter. If the developers read this, please, make it optional to upgrade with gems, not mandatory.
Was a great game til the update
Mon Feb 21 2022 Recoil727The Phase Engine was a great weapon to have and use until you went and changed it to a double tap!!!! Should have just kept it a single release weapon. Cause now when trying to double tap it. It either works sometimes or for just a spilt second and then you can use it a few times or it won’t activate no matter how many times you double tap!!! Absolutely Garbage cause of that… and that goes for anything that is double tap!! Phase engine is the only weapon that I enjoyed!! Just change that minor detail back and you will have an amazing game… there are always glitches but they are tolerable except for that one!
Thanks
The user!
Great game… BUT
Mon May 30 2022 $ammy$keletonI’m having a ton of fun so far! I even paid $15 to remove all ads so I can grind the game out.. but, there is a problem. I have made it to chilly start and in the level there is a part where some of the objects are indestructible and stop me from moving foreword so I cannot continue on in the game. At that point the game offers me a free restart as I’ve removed all ads. But then it bugs out and does not let me continue for whatever reason and I have to go back to Home Screen where none of my earnings show up so I am STUCK. ):
I am more than happy to change my review to 5 STARS… once this is resolved. Thank you.
