The fairy gun
Entirety of the game
I think the reason behind the drastic change in the game was probably some of the children who grew very uncomfortable with the games setting, creepy and pretty dark, blobs being taken away, accidental friendly fire, depressing, and committing self sleep permanently. So I assumed parents took action to this and reached out to the developers, or maybe apple was just very strict with the self sleep.
Review
The game is great! There is a bug where your character points in one direction and shows no facial expressions. Other than that, I like it!
Mala actualización…
Solía ser más divertido y dinámico cuando los compañeros que se unían eran oportunidades de fallar, además el apuntar automáticamente le resta dinamismo, era mejor la versión antigua…
I wish you all had the original
The original was so amazing! The monsters were scarier.The whole layout is just…different.Will you guys please consider bringing it back to how it used to be.It was a hidden gem and I miss it so much.I would pay money to have ths game back like the way it used to be! I will say that Im glad it doesnt require internet and there are no ads.I really miss the old game though.
vietnamese
hay
Dang
I think this new update stuff is getting to the games we know and love.
Continue
Only issue I’ve come across is everytime I watch a video to continue after I’ve gone down , the ad takes too long and I end up dying . Even if the ad is short , I still end up dying instead of continuing. I used to play this years ago ….
Regresen El OG
Please give us back the first game with those mechanics, what did you do to it? I have the old game and I bought the pack:(
Store failing
Never can buy coins in the stores. Why don’t you fix it?
Just a thought
I miss the version where when you saved your friends they would join in fighting the monsters instead of just disappearing
Did you get hacked?
I don’t understand how the game turned into an ad riddled rip-off of itself, with cheaper art, less mechanics, and everything of just a lower quality. And now the newest game in the series is a poorly made idle fantasy game? What? This is literally not the same game, I just found an old trailer and it’s a fully different game that looks and plays completely differently. I feel like the only thing that makes sense is if somebody else is running the company now or something, or you’re just really desperate for money? Why ruin a game everybody loved and turn it into one of those unplayable slop games that feels like it’s mining bitcoin and installing viruses. This was actually my childhood and I spent days trying to find it on the AppStore only to find this, which is definitely not the same game at all. 👎😢
Fallo de error
Siempre que intento entrar sale un error.soluciones
Old times
Old version is better where you can tap the monsters and your character suicides if he accidentally kills other blobs
The good and bad
The older version was better when u had to tap the monster they would did and if u kill blobs u wouldn’t die like in the new version when u kill them u just die and the game crashes for no reason and alway has to refresh the game multiple times before playing bring back older version and fix crashes
Eres de lo mejor MEJOR MEJOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
..
You ruined this.
Devs destroyed this game. & im on iphone so i cant even download the old apk.
The blobs
Blobs in the older version of hopeless would join your team and now there just there for a small amount of coins or just screw you over
Estaba mas chido antes
Estaba as chido antes
Fun but
This game is fun but I feel bad for the little guys
good
addicted :P
Can we get a hopeless classic??
I’ve over this game from I was ten I’m 20 now and been having flashbacks of this game some funny reactions from the blobs so I decided to search for the game. What happened???? The game had so much personality. The blobs reactions and being able to aim and shoot by tapping where you wanted made the game feel more challenging. Dying after shooting a blob is such a bummer and a huge downgrade from the blobs committing suicide those little reactions are what made majority of us more connected to the game. Idk what happened but we would love to have our original experience back 😕
Good game
This game is so cool and funny because it’s a little guy with a machine gun but the downside is once the survivors come close too you you die because the monsters eat you
What happened?
You guys really messed up a decent game, I miss being able to tap anywhere on the screen not the stupid button on the bottom of the screen to kill the monsters and if I accidentally kill a blob then I lose that’s dumb, take it back to the “kill circle” where blobs get together to make a group and you can shoot in any direction and if you kill a blob then oh well, it ain’t game over. Take it back to when it was the good Hopeless.
What happened
This is not my hopeless change it BACK
Muy buen juego pero.....
Es un juego muy entretenido y divertido, solo qué hay algunos fallos al momento de disparar.
WHY DID THEY RUIN IT?!
This game was amazing growing up and now it’s just completely ruined, switch it back to the original!!
Bug report
This game is gud but why do I receive vibration non-stop.Hope the game developers wil do something !
...
Lo recordaba diferente
My game crashes (also add a Barrett m99 plz)
My game keeps crashing you know how to fix it
Game
Ok so good
Adds rewards don’t work
You dont get any rewards for watching ads, when click watch add to continue or to get coin or a gun, the add ends and nothing happens
Impossible
I can’t make it past the first level because the other blobs so if a monster is close to you you have to wait for the blob to get to you
Me sale error
Me gusta pero desde ayer me sale error de baja pila el control y se cierra
Un gran titulo infravalorado
Este es un buen titulo para jugarlo en cualquier momento y segun yo de los mejores en la seccion juegos de aventura aunque no trate del todo de aventuras esta joya escondida te mantendra entretenido o entretenida mas de un par de horas con su tipo de jugabilidad que te mantendra enganchado
nice job, you ruined it.
you had a great idea and then you mangled it because you’re a bunch of sellouts, enjoy making garbage content farm mobile games that will be played for a week at most by ipad babies, phony’s.
Nice idea of a game but
It made my phone vibrate like hell
¿Por qué?
Estaba mucho mejor antes, donde tú tenías que apuntar y disparar, ahora apunta solo y no es tan divertido como antes, a pesar de que este bien, me gustaba como se jugaba antes
???????
what happened
problems
i cant open it and i havent played it yet so can you please fix this
Why?
Go back to the old version. Nobody likes this version. It’s just straight up garbage.
Hopeless
It very good, but you need pet or friend to help you when fingting
