- Ads show inappropriate content for kids
cool
this is my favorite game since I was 6 years old, and I play it very often. I never get bored of it, and I love its beautiful design.❤️❤️
No thought process to how procedurals work
Easily some of the most unimpressive and unintelligent design work you'll ever see in a game that procedurally generates it's levels. Almost zero thought at all put into the challenges in game when they tell you to do things like get through two levels without hitting enemies but then set it up so that regardless of how the map lays out there will somehow nearly never be a presented opportunity to finish the level while being able to avoid enemies. Thus you essentially are forced to just restart over and over again hoping you get a level you even might have a chance on. Truly asinine and ignorant work here.
Pickles
Incredible but if all characters had special abilities it would be better
Advertisements
It is great game but please update game, the advertisements don’t work at all. I did even watch till the end.
Used to Be Good, Now Full of Freezing Ads - Abandonware
This used to be a fun and challenging game. You could unlock different princesses and power ups. Now, everything is behind money or ads. The ads regularly freeze and you lose your progress. No updates in years.
Don't wait for prince charming!
I enjoy this game a lot! It's a simple design but very engaging, the graphics and ambiance are beautiful, and ads unlock additional opportunities instead of being invasive.
In-Game Purchase doesn’t remove ads. LIES!
The store in the game clearly says BUYING ANYTHING REMOVES NON-REWARDED ADS. I made a $9.99 purchase in order to remove ads and I am still getting them. The ads in this game are not family-friendly either. They are sexist garbage ads. It is otherwise a good game. DEVELOPER, PLEASE FIX THIS. I am playing on an iPad. I either want a refund or the ads to be removed.
Could use a weee bit of work!
Super cool! Love that you can try to escape the dragon, but I don’t like how you pretty much restart. I wish you were able to see the beginning cut scene as much as you wanted. Other than that, it’s pretty good! I don’t know how to get hearts though.
Ad’s ruin the experience.
I loved this game when it came out years ago now. Love the graphics and the fact princesses don’t have to rely on men to rescue them! Power to the Princess 👊🏻 I would stick my fav album on and play this game endlessly. Just re-downloaded it recently only to find that the ad’s cut off my music and more infuriatingly cause me to die in some sequences!! Pain in the A!!!
This game is great but
This game is fun but the demon princess is Terrible please make this game more appropriate
I LOVE THIS GAME
I found this game when I was little and recently rediscovered it and I love it sm!
Won’t work!
Every time I try to open the game, the screen goes black ☹️ even restarted my phone
Fun bite-sized roguelike
This game is super engaging! The movement is fluid, the combat satisfying, and leaves me with the same feeling I get when progressing through a Dead Cells map. I love the premise of the game. My main gripe with the game is the incorporation of ads and IAPs, which feel out of place in a roguelike, but the ads aren't terribly often and you *can* still unlock every character by playing the game (albeit you'll have to play it for a long time). Overall, it's a solid game and a great game to start with if you're looking to get into the roguelike genre but are intimidated by the big-name classics.
ja foi melhor.
a sensibilidade é péssima, e agora pra piorar ta CHEIO de anúncio, experiência horrorosa, impossível jogar com internet ligada
great game but..
i love this game so much it’s rlly fun and a great. way to time pass but i’m confused why it takes for my dragon fly jar to fill up so fast czu on a different device it went up rlly fast and i’m still on my jar ands been weeks please fix that it gets on my nerves but great game
Best time passer
I found this game almost 5 years ago and it’s the best time passer, fun and challenging
Not working
On my iphone 11 i cannot load this game. My sisters phone works perfectly for it but i cant open it please fix this bug
Love it but...
Ok so I absolutely love this game. It's just that after a while it kinda gets to just be swiping and you aren't really having fun anymore. But if you just want a quick little obsession, then this is the game for you.
Jogo é bom mas anúncio quebrou o jogo
Não precisa de análise o título Já é o bastante
please fix this
it doesn’t even let me play 90 percent of the time; i’ll open it and then it stays on the loading screen forever. the game is fun but this is frustrating
Lo más maravilloso
Es un juego muy entretenido
Well, the game won’t load for me
It’s just a blank screen, tried redownloading with the same issue, wish I could play it
Love the game except the videos freeze up
As long as you don’t play the videos then you are ok playing this game. Half the time they will freeze up on you and you have to close out of the app and loose the points you gained.
Alguien sabe como pasó de nivel
Nunca pasó del nivel 8☹️☹️☹️☹️
Crash
Thanks for attempts to fix the bugs but it is still crash on iPhone 5
10/10
It’s fun when I am bored and want to play a game with no WiFi
Stop the ads
It was fun once. Now it has random ads strewn throughout and makes the game unplayable. Shame.
This game isn’t to bad
I like this game. I like the story line and I like the brilliant ideas but the massive problem is that it is SO hard to get another princess. If you collect say 1000 points and then die, it only accounts for around 2% of your firefly jar. For those who don’t know what a ‘firefly jar’ is, it is where all your points go at the end of the level. To get a new princess you have to get 100% in your jar. I play every day and from six months of hard work I am still on 38%. If they could change this it would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pretty fun but..
I’m enjoying it so far but there are a few things I don’t understand. 1. What is up with the score multipliers? Does it increase my fireflies at the end of escape? If so then It doesn’t look like it and if it doesn’t then why is it there? 2. What’s the purpose of the other characters? There if very little details about them. Do they have special powers? Or new built in mechanics? If so it doesn’t say and if they don’t they why should I ever change characters other to look different. 3. Is there any way to use the shop other than IAPs? If so then that’s rather disappointing knowing that I’m missing out on an entire section of the game plus the fact that there little reward for progressing through the game other than fireflies which decrease if I decide to purchase upgrades throughout my run. I feel like if there were more descriptions and explanations it would a lot more enjoyable than confusing and it would be cool if you got those shards/gems that you use in the shop when completing the challenges. Otherwise there is no particular reason to do them other than the multipliers which from what I know have little to no use.
Why won’t this work
Hi I would first of like to say that this is a great game I played it on my friends phone but I downloaded it and I have the right update and when I open it, it’s just a black screen and it doesn’t work I don’t know why pls help!
Addicting
I love playing this game it’s very challenging. And with the new upgrade it’s amazing The glow, the sounds the dragon Fun fun!
45 seconds of gameplay, 30 seconds of advert
As the title says. I played it for 45 seconds then had to watch an advert for 30 seconds. I looked to try and pay for a version without adverts - couldn’t find it. I’m not wasting my time on this.
Idk how
It said for the challenge hit back a fireball I really don’t know what that means and I’m trying to figure it out
Great game but….
This game is great accept it randomly loses my progress and will start me at level two with the first princess and will delete all the ones I’ve unlocked. I’d rate it 5 stars if that could be fixed.
Cute
Lovely, well presented simple game. Really nice to play. This would have been 5 stars however the sudden appearance of adverts when you descend tower levels really puts me off playing it.
Me encanta mucho
Me encanta el juego muy bueno
Fun game with a couple of tweaks needed
This is an enjoyable game to play in short bursts on your commute. It badly needs a ‘remove ads’ option though, and also the controls could be a little more responsive. EDIT: this game will kill your battery.
Fortune?
Really enjoying this game but I'm confused why the fortune wheel ian't working for me. Do I have to reach a certain level to unlock? Is there another way to get a chicken?
New update is terrible
I loved this game until the new update came out a few days ago. I have lost all my progress and the game restarts itself every time I start the app. All that time and effort gone. I hope they can fix this ASAP. P.s I would really like to see the different characters being given an update so that they have different abilities and/or skills. Also different levels and towers would be great.
It’s fun but
It’s fun but I can’t even get past the first level maybe if you could only add a bit less of it then people will actually play it more often.
Best game on App Store
Ever since my cousin told me about this game, I’ve been addicted to it and haven’t stopped playing. In fact, sometimes I stay up until nine still playing this game. This is a must have.
Once upon a dumptruck review (new name)
I love da ads u made me want to be a evil dinosaur (I’m being sarcastic) I hate it deleted wen I accidentally got the wheel of fortune and saw a dinosaur ad
App keeps crashing after the newest update
The newest update was I believe meant to fix this problem, but unfortunately I've been unable to access this game since the last update 3 days ago )-: The app crashes immediately after opening, consistently and at all times of the day. Please fix this issue!!! I'd like to avoid deleting and downloading the app but it's going on 4 days and i'm afraid I'll have to delete.
Matt
The game is supposed to be 9+ and is very popular with children, but many of the advertisements it sends are not suitable for 9+ children.
I love it but it’s scaring me
It’s an awesome game but I can hear it listening to me. Try putting your phone to your ear when playing it and the go off of it, creepy, right?
My
FAVORITE GAME EVER
Feminist propaganda
This is part of the agenda for, “muh female independence”, nothing interesting happens in this game and it is a good example why mobile games are terrible.
Love game,one problem
Really fun really glitches a lot 😎like one time I got far down there and it glitched me out and I got ....... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😤😡😠😡😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😡😡😠😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😠😡😠😡😡😡😡😡😡
Too many bugs
The game concept is interesting but it crashes randomly or does not respond randomly.
Game often crashes
Good potential but sometimes the game glitches a lot. Other times it plays fine but it ALWAYS crashes when I finish level 10 or 11. Sometimes when I open it again it just sets me back a level or two and I can play the rest of the game fine until I die or escape the tower. Other times I have to start all over again. It’s really annoying please fix this.
