Hero Rescue

This game IS easy but I still find it fun. I'm not looking for something to challenge me, I just wanted something mindless to keep me awake in meetings. There are a lot of ads but they can be removed for $2.99. biggest issue I have is some puzzles require an archer to shoot a monster and the archers don't work. Unfortunately I have to skip those levels.

I appreciate that this is an actual pin pulling game as advertised. Paying for ad free is good except that I still have to watch ads in order to skip every single level where an archer is supposed to kill a spider or two archers are supposed to kill each other. It never works. They will just stand and shoot the spider over and over and nothing happens so I'm order to move on I have to skip with an ad.

It's just really boring. Ads are obstructive, and the game appears to be designed in such a way that it is easy for players to progress through levels rapidly, thus making the the developers a ton of money in ad revenue. It's just a money generator. However, I'm giving it three stars because at least the game is accurate to the advertisements. It's a "pull the pin" puzzle game. It might be ridiculously easy, but at least you are getting what you expect

Finally a game based on the ads. The special modes were more annoying than anything, the regular levels were too easy and there weren't enough of them, and frequently had issues with my hero getting stuck or the items acting strange when they were falling. Beat the game very quickly without feeling challenged. Wasn't worth keeping on my phone to see if more levels kicked things up a notch.

SO .. I was looking for a standalone pull the pin kind of game and after playing 100 + levels all I can say is .. meh. It's not a bad game, I just didn't find it challenging in anyway. But the real reason I uninstalled it was the ads. I get it .. I am playing for free, and the developers deserve to make money for their efforts. But when the ads appear in the middle of a level .. that is just a little too much for me. I know I could pay to get rid of the ads, I just don't think it is worth it.

The challenge barely goes up from level 1 to 70. The fact that physics are used the way they are means of by chance there's a single bit of lava left, you can die and fail by no fault of your own. I've also had an issue in the treasure chest filling mode where despite every single piece of gold landing in the box, it topped out at 99%. It's clunky at times, lazy at times (playing on my phone there was a clear area where there was no map at all but things like lava could still settle there.)

Pretty boring. It took 50 levels to get a puzzle that took more than 5 seconds to solve. I'm not even smart. The poison clouds make no sense either. Somehow it both floats and sinks. I also hate that your "IQ" is listed at the end of each puzzle, but it is just some arbitrary number. It gets a second star because the ads are an actual representation of the game. Otherwise, might as well get cut the rope for a better experience

The game is fun, can't deny that. Very simple, but fun. Actual pull the pin game like the ads. There is one MASSIVE issue though: you can't beat any level that relies on ranged attacks. There are levels with ogres with arrows, levels with arrows that shoot out of the walls, etc. but the arrows don't do anything. Nothing. Timing the arrow shots is necessary to beat puzzles. But if the arrows don't work, you can't beat the level. And there's a lot of these levels. You have to skip these with ads.

I wanted to support this game because it tried to give people the game they saw in the false mobile game apps. But once they realized they had a captive consumer base, they became just as bad. They upload multiple versions of the game - same levels, mini games, progression - with slightly different character models and promise updates. They do maybe one update and let it die, then move on to developing an identical game to start the scam over. I feel bad for anyone spending money to skip ads.

I have completed all of the current puzzles, and this is probably one of the best puzzle games I have played. Ads are still here and will show up every 5 minutes or so, but it's not as bad as some apps. There also shouldnt be a buy gold option. I got the 2 costumes available without even watching ads. Because items all kind of "fall wherever" when they drop, there are instances where an intended attempt needs multiple tries. Mini games are a nice change of pace and this is overall a fun game.

This isn't a game so much as a channel for ad revenue. You will literally spend more time in ads than actual game play in this POS. Ad every 2-3 puzzles, ads in the middle of puzzles interrupting game play, ads to keep playing if you die, ads to start and finish the game. Puzzles are boring and not the least bit challenging. Don't waste your time on this one like I did. I kept hoping it would get better/more challenging, but alas no. A Kindergartener could figure these puzzles out.

Welp, you did it man. It's the puzzle game everyone was "so" hyped about. You didn't "trick" people into a castle defense game and that got you 4 stars in my book. I played for a half hour, and was entertained for about that long lol. Could be more challenging, but I'm not a developer so idk what goes into all that. And I get we all are strapped for cash, but way to many adds. But hey, again, I get it. Nice work🍻

Edit: as of 3/14/24 levels 77 and 79 are bugged, I'm unable to progress without watching ads, it's the one where they are supposed to shoot each other. They shoot but don't die. Disappointing Love this game, solving puzzles is super smooth. This is the game that is actually as advertised. Ever seen the fake ads for gardenscapes and fishdom? Well this is the actual game from the fake ads. 2 thumbs up, thanks to the developers.

This was a fun game, an answer to all the pull-the-pin ads for games that don't actually include pull-the-pin gameplay. Only, in the last few months (maybe since an update?) I've noticed that the arrows aren't deadly anymore. The ogres shoot each other, but don't die. Same for arrows from the walls. Because of this, many levels are broken, and the only way to progress is to watch an ad to skip to the next level. It's tiresome, especially having paid for no ads. Please rescue this game!

Not a bad game, and I even finished it several years ago. I decided to replay it but it seems there are some bugs with any levels that have archers. Sometimes they don't even shoot and if they do, the arrows don't affect the target. You can watch an ad to skip.these levels, but that takes the fun out of it.

I opened the game after installing, and the first thing I see is an ad. Literally, I open the game and there is an ad before I ever see anything about the game. There will always be ads, during the game, in between games, and after games; not 'banner' ads either. The full size ads require you to go to the Google Play store. There's no other way to get out of an ad thus far. I only gave it two stars because it is similar to many of the false advertised games people seem to be looking for.

I was casually enjoying this game (especially as it was as advertized). I paid to end ads as well. However there are now glitches rendering it basically unplayable. the arrows shot by ogres kill spiders, but for the last few months they do not. They just dissapear and I can't progress without skipping levels because of it. I tried writing for help l, but never heard anything back. Should do one star now, but I did like it while it worked.
