fun game but i don't like the way the ads work. I like that you can chose to watch ads too receive rewards but they don't end. multiple times i have watched the ad and waited for an x to close it out but it never happens. the back button also doesn't take me back to the game. i end up having to close it all out and opening the game again. i never get the reward for watching it in the first place. very annoying. other than that i like it.

I've been playing since the beta, and it's incredible to see how much this game has grown. The developers genuinely care, dropping updates all the time to fix bugs and add fresh content. The core gameplay loop remains engaging, addictive, and deeply satisfying. Whether you want an excellent casual pick-up-and-play title or tactical survival, this is easily one of the best on the store. I'm sure the whole community really appreciates the dedication the devs are putting into this game.

its a very fun game, especially if you just enjoy the pixel art style and simpler gameplay. the weapons are varied enough that its not super boring and you can change stuff up. the only real "issue" I have is that the S-epic weapons are very limited, only 2. I think a good one would be like an M16 Grenadier, like the smg but more damage focused than attack speed, and since S-epic weapons are supposed to have rage skills, it could have the grenade launcher, or Noobtube if you prefer that name.

What’s new

- Item, skin and Companions rewards now sit on the frame of their rarity, so you can tell how rare a reward is before you tap it.
- Fixed a bug on some phones where pressing Back once during Quick Merge counted twice and threw you out to the inventory while items were still merging.
- Fixed minor bugs.
