I give this game five stars because it is addictive, challenging, and the graphics are incredible and classic. Whenever I get bored, I decide to try and beat my high-score of 391.2 with Ludwig, my favorite character. It's a challenge to beat your high-score, and to get new characters by spinning the wheel. It keeps you engaged in the game and interested in the new, secret characters. The graphics are interesting and random, and nice to look at. Lastly, I don't think there are too many ads, and they aren't that bothersome. All in all, a great game, and one that everyone should have.

BEFORE YOU REVIEW— There are not as many ads as you think! Go to the settings in the top right and click BANNER for advertisements, instead of full screen. Besides these complaints, the game is actually very enjoyable and fun. Gameplay is simple, but a bit harder to master to getting the timing right. I like how you can challenge yourself with different characters, and the simple graphics are just really cool. Try this game out!

This game is awesome! I was Bored one day and I decided to scroll through the App Store (‘cause that’s what I do) and stumbled upon THIS GAME. I love it! The graphics are simple, random, and funny 😆!!! Definitely a keeper!!! I also want to say that THE ADS AREN’T EVEN THAT BAD! They’re only 30 seconds. And they don’t come around often! YOU WILL LIVE.

Ok I just spent the last 24 hours or so gleefully flinging raw chickens and potted plants across antique clip art. I doubt it will hold my attention for long, but for what it is? This is awesome. BTW I’m not getting ads anywhere near as often as after each toss. Not sure if there have been changes or what.

Anyone who has ever been a gymnast needs to download this game immediately. I was dreaming of giants the night after I first played. So fun and so well done! Kudos to the creators! Butterfly is def my fav character! Such great form!

I️ first downloaded this game after hours of being Bored and looking for something to do. I stumbled upon this game that didn’t really seem too promising but I️ decided to download it anyways. I️ opened I️t up, learned how to play, and was instantly hooked. Over time I’ve unlocked all the characters holding my breath each spin hoping I️ will unlock them all. I️ have reached high scores of 2300+ using all sorts of strategies. I️ had gone from being bored all day to having a fun and interesting game to play in my free time. I️ highly recommend this game to those who are bored and feel like spending time playing games. This is the app for you.

The game is way too addicting. Can't stop playing it, but there is one thing I somewhat dislike- the sound effects get too old too soon. Every time you click it makes a grunt or a squeak and it gets annoying after awhile

This is a great little game, clever and whimsical; however, unless you enjoy noisy advertisements for other games that are neither clever nor whimsical, this is not for you. Should you accidentally touch the screen during these longish and tiresome ads, you will be whisked away to some demo of the game. Once you find your way back, your only option is to watch the advertisement all over again. If that sounds bad enough, understand this will occur on every turn you have at this little game! An option to purchase the game would be preferable to me. But sadly, there is no option to remove the ads. So I had no choice but to delete this game after a few minutes of play and quite a few more minutes of ads for music, bingo games, a golf game and the like. You’ll be tempted, but be forewarned.

This simple game is beautifully designed. The style, humor, and execution is perfect. Wonderful game. But the ads render the game unplayable. It plays a 30 second un-skippable, full page advertisement after every single toss. It kills any sense of humor, fun, or excitement. Remove the ads, or this game will remain unplayable. For the record, I would be leaving a five star review if the app cost 2 dollars and had no ads. Seriously. I would pay to play this game, but I will NOT watch a full page, 30 second ad after every 5ish second toss. That's asinine.

Can’t get past the 2nd thing to throw (I got Ludwig). I tried the tutorial and it’s not helpful. I appreciate there is a way to spin him around and gain momentum and toss him further, but every time, my option is to repeat or watch a video. There is a little gift box icon too, but no gift comes up... kind of disappointed. Seems like it could be fun. I’d rather pay $2-3 and get rid of the ads. Even switching to banner is no good because i still have to watch videos AND the banners cover the controls buttons at the bottom. Sigh.

This game can be a lot of fun. The only problem is there's to many ads. You can't progress to the next object unless you 1) set a new distance record or 2) watch an ad. That doesn't sound all that bad but I set a ridiculously long record of 171 at the start and had to watch an ad every min or so just to progress. Very annoying! Has potential.....lost it in trying to pay the bills

I downloaded this based on a review article I read. I did find the game to be amusingly offbeat once I got used to it, but the frequency and length of the ads that appear basically ruined any enjoyment I was getting out of it. As a previous reviewer noted, there is no option to purchae the game to do away with the ads. I stopped playing the game because of that, and ended up deleting it.

The aesthetics of this game are brilliant. The physics are perfect and entertaining and the humor is great. But the experience is just a novelty that wears off very quickly and the extreme number of ads is more ludicrous than the game itself. I played this for about 5 minutes then deleted it. Shame, really, because the developer is clearly talented and capable of something great. This just isn’t it.

This is the first game I've ever played in which there is an annoying ad between EVERY SINGLE TURN. Some you can quickly close, some you are forced to watch in entirety. It takes longer to deal with the ad than it does to take your turn in the game. Absolutely inexcusable; removed app in less than 10 minutes and don't plan to ever install another one from these people. Instead of their ads enticing me to buy something, they have made me want to never buy from them...ever. Great job.
