I would have given 5 stars if Half brick Studios didn't lie to us. Remember the description said NO ADS? Well, it looks like there IS—1. That's an ad on behalf of Half brick Studios to buy Half brick+. Yes, it doesn't give you ads every press you make, but—apart from the lying— it bugs you after 30 minutes to buy Premium before your 1-hour free limit is up. It does the same thing 10 minutes before as well. All in all, it's WAY better no-adwise, and I can play even further than before. Pls fix it...

I used to play this game when I was kid but now still nothing changed, and it got 5-star because the game is active on YouTube and I'm just waiting for part w2 of this game

The game is really adventurous and nostalgic at the same time😊

Pay to win? Nah, pay to play. This game is great and fun, Just one thing. I HATE games that say they're free, but only give you a snipet then you gotta pay. Would like if it said it was a trial beforehand, but it doesn't. So do that. Also, half brick, your games are great, but nobody's paying to play a mediocre 2d solo fighter, or worse, jetpack joyride, which is just plain bad. I played this game SO MUCH as a kid, but now I can't because you were greedy slugs. Fire whatever sleazeball did this.

oh boy guess what you have 1 hour to play until u get locked by subscription not only if u buy u only get one month they genuinely ruined the game by adding pay wall because everything is all good until 1 hour you get locked behind a paywall and gotta pay and everything u will do will still lock u behind, creator if you mind just delete the paywall ik you need profit and money all of that stuff but do not lock everything behind a paywall, fix it instead of adding paywalls. Greedy creator
