Pocket Sniper! Reviews

by Loedstar

I know what you’re thinking, “wow that’s quite a bold command, what’s so bad about this game?” Well i’ll tell you, the game itself is very accessible and not all that challenging, which i suppose can be a good thing. But because of this the average person will fly through levels pretty quickly, or at least attempt to but your efforts to play at your own pace are futile, because of the infestation of ads, and i’m not just talking about a couple of 3 second ones that pop up every 10 or so levels.

These are 15 second ads with a timer that when it counts down to zero and you’d think an x would appear to click out of it, but no, it just fades into another 30 second unskippable ad immediately after. I discovered this problem pretty swiftly so i decided to go ahead and cough over $2.99 for the ad free version. BUT OF COURSE, THERE ARE STILL ADS EVEN AFTER PURCHASING THE AD FREE VERSION. I recommend any and everyone to steer clear of this game because that would give the developers money, which they clearly care much more about than actually making a decent product of a game. Even if you don’t purchase the “ad free” version they’re still making a quick buck off of you with the countless overbearing and somewhat questionable ads.

The game has a good concept and design. But the ads never stop. I figured I’d spend the 2.99 to remove ads cause it seemed worth it. But alas, there’s more ads?!?! Want the new gun you unlocked? Watch an ad. Want to upgrade your damage so that it doesn’t take THREE headshots to kill someone? Watch an ad.

I know you can buy the upgrades with coins but it costs thousands of coins and you get maybe twenty per level and after about two levels you need to buy the upgrade again if you want a headshot to mean anything. Seriously, i paid to not have ads.

Developers, if you want money that badly then make a paid game or a full on real game. People will buy if you’re idea is good enough. Phone users, just go play one of the classic phone sniper games until they decide they know how to properly scale a game.

I get one or two ads between levels, developers gotta make some money, but I kid you not, you will be forced to watch 2 minutes of ads before moving on to the next level. You click next level, unskippable ad, the ad ends, so you click next level again, once again an unskippable ad, and now this may be frustrating but imaging doing this 2 more times before the next level button works, WITH EVERY LEVEL. I have watched more ads than I’ve played the game and I wish that was a hyperbole, but it definitely isn’t. A level lasts about one minute followed by a ridiculous amount of ads. Not only do you have to watch 4-5 to move on to next level, every single button you press while playing this game will trigger an ad. This game is like the qvc channel disguised as a mobile game. Game would be fun to pass time but I wouldn’t know because I have been watching ads since I downloaded it.

This is, by far, the worst game I have ever played. That is not because it isn’t fun. This game has so many ads that you spend more time watching the ads than actually playing the game. After beating a level (It probably takes 10 seconds), you can not even click the ‘next level’ button without having to watch a 30-second ad. The only way to get to the next level is to exit PocketSniper and restart it. I would not recommend PocketSniper to anyone except for my enemies.

On top of being plagued by ads, it was such a horrible game that I was prompted to give a 1 star review. I hardly ever write reviews on anything, but this game is so poorly made that I had to write a review out of anger. Please consider other games if you are looking to have fun.

I haven’t tried the game, and I know some people love this game. But, I watched the ad and it’s SO sexist. It said and this is exactly what it said, “Girls play this game-“ and it showed a “girl” missing every time and doing utterly awful, using a bright pink gun. Then, it said, “Boys play this game-“ and it showed a “boy” doing really well and and hitting exactly where you should, using a black gun. I don’t know, many this game is awesome. It was just SO awful to see this company (or anyone, really) think showing girls be really bad at using a gun, just because they are not girls, is ok, let alone a good thing. There are so many other games like this, like fortnite, call of duty, other games that are exactly like this, but by a different company, etc. I mean it’s 2021, people should not be so stereotypical anymore. That time has passed. If I could have given no stars, I would have. Game makers, please don’t play this add again.

by Catlover43421

It’s the ads, there are so many, it’s so stupid, one pops up immediantly after another, escape is futile, even after purchasing the 2.99 ad free version it still gave me ads, so the “ad free” version is absolutely nothing but a piece of bologna scam. And the ads it gives you to make you get the game are sexist, with ads like “How girls play: ‘OMG this gun is soooo pretty! Awh I missed UvU, oh I missed again, dang I lost, maybe I can win next round UwU” and then “how boys play: *shoots headshot* this gun is the best! I win!” Like, really? I am a female, and it’s terribly easy to win, why do you have to be sexist? Have you never seen the sun or something?
The game is also incredibly boring. After a while of playing it just repeats, I do not recommend getting this game as it is nothing more than a sexist boring scam. Improve your game, and your education before posting another game.

It’s sad that this game is such a money grab for ad clicks because it is actually fun. Simple game that is fun but seriously you will spend more time FORCED to watch ads than actually playing the game. And when you have options to move on or watch an ad for an added reward… guess what you click move on only to be forced to watch an ad then it takes you back to the same options of watch an ad for an added reward or move on essentially locking you into an ad loop until you choose to take the added reward for watching an ad. Only reason it gets 2 stars is because the game itself is fun but my time is worth something I won’t watch that many adds for some DEV to get paid for wasting my time. GAME DELETED

by AceGraham

This used to he a fun little time waster, clear 3 levels have a short ad than on to the next 3. The enemy that you had to shoot could take up to headshots depending on weapon. The past update changed this to make it take longer for everything. At max damage, if the level is setup so you have to shoot the enemy and not use the environment, it now takes 5 headshots to take out 1 enemy. If there are several on the screen expect the level to take a while. If there is a boss expect to be sitting there a good 5-10 minutes just to take the boss out. They keep changing this game and making this have more health. This would be fine of they gave you a way to get more damage. All they really do is nerf all weapons. Last update changed this game from a 5 star game to a 2 star game. If they nerf the weapons again it will no longer be playable because it will take to long to get anything done at max damage. I would avoid this game for now.

I had invested over half of all my upgrades into making coins offline. I should be making 402 coins/ hour, but after 2 hours, I get 804 coins, then nothing else. I should be making ALOT more, but it seems like a waste of upgrades now that I see I don’t make more than 2hrs worth whether it’s been one day or one week. Also it’s incredibly annoying have an ad literally every time you click the home button. I can tolerate an ad between levels but it’s obviously annoying after awhile. The fact that you have to watch ads to unlock the weapons instead of buying them is also pretty crappy too. Nearly every single unlock, if not, every unlock requires a single ad. Some you can use coins on, but they’re a bit outrageous in price so it’s not worth the time to farm coins either. It’s sad to see all of these companies making extremely simple games that are littered with ads to make

This game was soo much fun when I got it. This game is where you have a sniper and you have to kill these red short guys. And on the golden level you have to shoot piggy banks. Yes you can get new guns.... only if you watch an ad! You might be like ok and..., well you have to watch an ad a LOT! Not only that but when you want to get a rocket launcher you have to... you guessed it. WATCH AN AD! That’s not all. When you start playing it seems fun so you play more. Then you realize that it’s not getting harder. Until you get to a certain point( don’t remember when) and you see those guys start to walk and then after 20 LEVELS!! it’s still the same. This game has gotten BORING for me and I dislike it!

by .......😀

You really need to add more places to be like a forest or a town or a volcano and other cool places not just a same old island and please add better graphics to the game and people and to make it harder you should have the targets have a pistol and the more levels you go it gets harder and harder by the gun getting more powerful and the firing rate goes up you may be wondering how will they shoot you well when you attempt to but miss they will hear and then will be alert and prepare their guns and when they detect you they will tell the other people and start shooting and they kill you and add a health bar and add grenades instead of bomb canisters things and add gun choices and harder by not doing 1 shot 1 kill make it harder make it like level 100 then make the shots to do 30 shots to kill or something so please read this and add these please

by Mshoger

Not a bad game overall, but plagued with little issues. Even after paying the $2.99 to remove ads, every time you want to receive a new rifle or award, you still have to watch an un-skipable ad. Ridiculous.

Also, the way they calculate “accuracy” is just dumb. Enemies get stronger as levels progress, but even if you land 3 perfect headshots in a row, you only get 33% accuracy. Rubbish. The only way to achieve or maintain “one shot one kill” is to increase your damage modifier. Guess what you have to do for that? Right. Watch more ads.

The devs have a good start, but need to fix some major flaws and get rid of the ads, especially after you’ve paid to remove them.

by .../I Hope U Read It ....!

Hi there,I hade this game for a while and to me it’s the same thing over and over again I do like the guns and the chain that go with it but can’t you do something else than just shot the people then you win or at lest change the background,another thing is your Adds for your game it kind of not nice to me...why? It because you guys say that girls can’t shot in your adds but then you bring up the boys and their “GoOd”🙄.

Anyways I’m not gunna ur game is ok,also I would know you seen if you change the adds please and the game a lil also the add that I just watched it said”Ha,Loser” also that saying is from another game that I’m not sure you guys made but thanks for reading if you did!

This is going to be an honest opinion on this mobile game. Don’t get me wrong, this game is quite entertaining for a short span period of time. Example, if you were on a road trip with your family or you were bored at home and wanted a little fun experience this is the game for you. But let me tell you on some disadvantages of this game. First of all, the accuracy rating. As you progress in the game, the enemies health progress as well. You might think, “well just upgrade your weapon,” right? Well you’re wrong. Uprgrading your weapon has no affect towards your progress in killing the enemies. Even if you get multiple head shots in a row, it still does the same amount of damage as if you were to hit a body shot. One more opinion on the accuracy is the more shots it takes to kill your enemies, the less accuracy you receive. Dumb, right? Well that’s not the only thing. The adds are quite ridiculous. There are LOADS of adds during your gameplay. After every single round you are viewing add after add after add. Very boring. Don’t get me wrong, the gameplay is fun but the experience to the gameplay is ridiculous. Overall, I rate the game a 3 star rating.

I like this game only because it is one of the only sniper games if not THE only sniper game I am allowed to play. I got to around level 40 and the guns stopped 1 shotting with a headshot. Then it got boring. I only now play it when I have literally nothing else to do. I play not nearly as much as other games I have and it was the 5th game that I got on my phone. It is also laggy too. I am not complaining that it is lagging because I have an iPhone 5 and it has been used but it just makes it hard to play. And once again I am not blaming the creators for the lag. It just adds to the fact that eventually it got boring, which I should have seen coming. After all it is a game that originally I wouldn't have been allowed to play because it had "bad ads". I haven't seen one though. Anyway this is my first review and I just wanted to Erie one so yay. 4/10 would play again.

by Darkwidst

Let me say this now; I like this game. It’s a kind of game that keeps you occupied whenever you feel a bit bored when you’re not having much to do. The mechanics, the gameplay is simple but fun. It’s just one small problem that occurs a lot.. the ADs. Every time I continue on from each level or whenever I close the menu that shows a chance of you having a certain item- whether it be a sniper rifle or accessory for said weapon, weapon color, etc.- I have to sit through half or whole of an AD. If you could just tone down the amount of ADs being shown every time people play then maybe we can play the game more? I get annoyed seeing twenty ADs within a minute to be honest…

by St1ckMAN2000

Today I completed all the tasks (i.e. Beat the game). Which took me about 2 and a half weeks. I also paid the $2.99 to not have adds, which made the game more enjoyable. After beating level 40-ish you begin to see the same structures where the targets are, and that’s understandable since it’s 3 challenges per level. Now for ISSUE #1- There are 2 different challenges where ALL the targets just die on their OWN, if this happens as the first of three challenges in the level and you haven’t taken aim yet, you WILL NOT be able to aim at all. So just swipe PocketSniper out and open it back up and you’re ready to go. ISSUE #2- When exploding the bomb barrels, some targets die but others don’t. Those that don’t die, can’t die until they land back on the roof of the building OR hit the ground. This is fine if they fell back down quickly, BUT they don’t, and I’ve waited for 2 whole minutes before just for nothing to happen. To fix this, just swipe PocketSniper out and open it back up and you’re ready to go. ISSUE #3- As the structure collapses from shooting it apart and the targets fall, if you take a shot right when the last target dies (from falling, being crushed…etc) you have a chance of the game freezing and keeping you on that challenge. To fix this, just swipe PocketSniper out and open it back up and you’re ready to go. CONCLUSION- I personally enjoyed this game! Even with having these issues, I was able to “fix them“ and get back to playing in less than a minute.

This game is so awesome! Like I like it a lot its funny because of the moves the people or pockets are doing I mean its so fun! You guys did a great job. Like I’m impressed. But one thing is that one i played it a lot i kinda got bored because i got every single gun and they are sometimes they same levels like come on i mean we need some updates how about that yea? Updates great every game needs a update maybe the rating go up if a better game make sure to fix any problems of what people say and done the games rating go high.

by T.B.I. TY

This is absolutely awesome game. I’ve been playing it for for a really really long time but there’s only one suggestion I can make for it. And that’s please improve the shot accuracy there are some of the rifles, but will and an inch over to the side so you have to compensate for that every time you shoot which gets to be annoying seeing the games about accuracy and precision shooting. But this game is going to school. I really like it never played it for years and 11 to not find a stoplight add some more love of the world.

by Lovesappsandpeople

by Acimene

I enjoy this game a lot. It’s relaxing and fun. The scenarios do repeat but I enjoy figuring them out from different angles and weapons. I do have a suggestion, which would probably take a ton of programming. I destroy a lot of zombots via building destruction. Sometimes the structures will be on the brink of falling, but stand firm. Wouldn’t a tilt feature be fun, where you could tilt your phone, just a bit and that precariously tilted wall will fall on the zombot? Thanks for the fun. You folks have built a great game!
