Bucket Crusher Reviews

by Dot Hot Tot

The game can’t be played on airplane mode, why you ask? Because of ads. The developers only allow access to players that are connected to internet (stupidly) and give away all access to pretty much everything. I deleted the game in minutes. The game may seem like it doesn’t ask for a lot, but it does, it takes time, the one thing none of us can buy more of, and also this is the best voodoo can do, I think that’s clear to everyone by now, the game is a very good time killer and provides a total of somewhere around 80-90% entertainment for me, well at least with no ads. You might be thinking “well I can just pay 2.99$ to remove the ads, no biggie, but the thing about it is that you still get ads when you pay for the “No Ads” upgrade, speaking of upgrades, hey voodoo, maybe you should start watching some 35 second ads to upgrade your company? Oh hey voodoo, do you wanna watch an ad to get this company logo that you literally earned? Or press no thanks and receive and ad! Hey voodoo, wanna make game progress? Watch some ads obviously! Hey voodoo, wanna play the game? Pay money to finally play the game without ads! Oops! Looks like your gonna keep getting ads! P.S: don’t pay for the “no ads” and don’t download the game you will waste your time.

Just like the title says, it’s another Ad generator from Voodoo. If we set that a side, it’s still a bad game. Lets start with the title “Bucket crusher”. There is no bucket. The graphics are basic and there is a lot of lag. I am playing on a new Iphone and no other game I play lags. The game play is basic and repetitive. The skins you unlock that it forces you to put on are basic. To the point of “but it’s free”. No it is not. Any game that forces you to watch ad’s is taking something from you more precious than money…. Your Time. It is the one thing none of us can buy more of. Why do you think ad companies pay so much? Stop giving yours away like you have infinite. Especially to companies that make horrible games like this. I am a gamer and given away lots of my time to very good games, on mobile, pc and console. Do not waste yours on this game or company.
Setting aside the Ad issue, I would still rate this game 1/5.

I got tired of seeing ads for this game constantly, so I figured I would download it and give it a try, “it can’t be THAT bad, right?”. Buy was I wrong.

To go along with a repetitive set of gameplay (which isn’t horrible on its own if the gameplay is fun or challenging) is an absolutely insane amount of ads. No other game I have played has force fed me ads as fast as this. It is almost to the point of being about 1 ad per minute of play time (not including time taken to upgrade). Typically games like this will let you play 3-5 times before they throw an ad at you because, hey, we all need to make money, but this is just a disgrace to all app developers that give a crap about their games. This is a shameless money grab in that they use you to get ad views.

In all, I wouldn’t recommend this game to a single person on this earth and would rather tell people not to play it just to spite the greedy slimeballs that put out this heaping pile of trash.

by Ryder Keene

So the game got fun until my first ad came up, until I go to the next level there’s another ad I tried skipping it but there was no skip so I had to watch the entire thing finally stopped so I went back playing the game, in the beginning of the next level there is another ad so I tried doing the thing where you turn off your Wi-Fi and you can play without ads but it said you need Wi-Fi for the game, it’s like the game want you to watch it’s ads just read a waste your time just so that we can get to the next level just to see another ad. So then I try getting to level 50, when I get to level 10 there’s literally like five ads at once, so I deleted the game because there’s way too many ads. I mean if the creators could fix it to where there is less ads I would download it again but until they fix the ad problem I’m not gonna play this game again. PS if you ever play this game be worned, there’s lots of ads and I mean like thousands of ads. Please fix this ad problem.

by AtlasCrosby

I would rate this game 5 stars because I love playing it in my downtime. However, I’m not going to be keeping it for one reason and one reason only. The same mistake nearly all mobile game developers make. Ads. Ads literally make it unplayable with no way to disable them. I wouldn’t mind paying 5 bucks to remove ads from a game I like. But no, you get an ad after every single level, and even in the middle of you trying to play. When will have developers realize that ads ruin games? Literally everyone hates ads. This game is no different, the ads absolutely ruined it. I’ve always loved the Voodoo company and their games, but this is unacceptable. I never wrote reviews, but this one really did it for me. Devs, if you’re listening, stop with the ads. NOBODY wants to play your game when it’s littered with ads. Cool game, I love it. But due to the constant stampede of ads I can’t play it. Most of the time you spend on this game will be dedicated to watching ads. I’d say 20% game 80% ads is about right. Save yourself the trouble and don’t even download it. You’ll end up uninstalling it just like me.

by Advent1027

First off, other reviewers have made a good point, this game is super basic. The levels start repeating themselves with no additional difficulty. The turn off ads link only shows up periodically, which is super weird to me. As you go, you can pay for permanent upgrades, since the upgrades you do make don’t stick between levels. Permanent upgrades are the treadmill (which helps, but it helps way more if you cut your blocks in specific ways), additional gold per block, and ability to hold more fuel. It’s a cool game, but again, there’s really only so much you can do with it.

Why I’d recommend just deleting the game… I paid to turn off ads, deleted the game (because there’s no reset upgrades button to start completely over), and started getting spammed by ads again when I started over. I restored purchases, which did nothing and I kept getting more ads, and because the no ads link is only there periodically, I really have no idea if the game registered by purchase or not… which is super annoying because every time you complete a turn, more ads

by Cmat1108

It’s a good game, don’t get me wrong. Fun to play, and exactly as advertised. However, after the first 5 or so plays, there’s an ad after every. Single. Play. You essentially have to sit through a 30 second add every 15 seconds of gameplay. Also, just to make this problem worse, if you turn your phone on airplane mode or turn off cellular data to BucketCrusher to stop the ads, it won’t let you play! It gives a “not connected to the internet” message. There is ABSOLUTELY NO reason that this game *needs* an internet connection for anything at all, besides the fact that they want you to watch thousands of ads with no way to stop or skip them. Like I said, it’s a good game, but don’t bother downloading if you don’t want to watch an ad every 15 seconds.

by Daxitydansity

It kept randomly crashing in places such as: after ads, after finishing it, and just randomly. It is sort of satisfying until you get spammed with ads after finishing it or halfway through destroying the structure. It always just closes after finishing because they do it intentionally because they are so technologically incompetent that they can’t even find out how to get a new structure without telling you to close BucketCrusher so they just crash it. It also has no real objective, such as half the other mobile games out there, aside from the
only ones that actually care about their game and make ads that are similar, or exactly like the real game. I once downloaded a game that said it had a ton of stuff that they didn’t have in the real game. The games name was “Mr. Pain”.

by Jpsulak

The idea of BucketCrusher is great. And the gameplay is cool for about twenty seconds. Then they ask you to rate the game. After you have been asked to rate the game, you are then shown your first ad. And then after every attempt, you get unskippable ad after unskippable ad, to a point where there is more ad play than gameplay. I am sick and tired of every single voodoo game being a good idea in theory and being so terribly executed. If you want me to watch ads, offer me an incentive to click it myself. Don’t force an ad on me because I WILL deleted the game (I already deleted this one). Or for this game specifically, maybe make one of the upgrade tiers reliant on ads. Like no ad plays for finishing rounds, but if you want to extend the length you can do that by watching an ad. I really don’t get too worried by ads when I as a user activate them myself to get a reward. It’s the unskippable required ads that make me delete games immediately

by Travis Elam

Your off the internet and you can't watch ads. If you are off wifi or have no internet then the "you are offline" sign will show. The thing is that this game doesn't need internet either way. I have games that can show ads off internet. So why does this game have to have internet? One word. Ads. Every time i try to pass a level or upgrade my skills, i get a ad. But the creators are just going to be like "oh you get too much ads? Just buy the no ads option.". What if i don't want to spend my money on a game? I have lots of other games I could waste my money on! I am just asking to make ads show twice a level. If this isn't fixed soon. I'm leaving my Review how it is and deleteing the game.

by A21a Ma213 Ma30n

Im going to be honest, it’s a pretty fun game. There are a lot of flaws, not with just the game, the ads for the game. First of all, they said that there are no ads, thats a lie. The ads pop up in the middle of the rounds, after rounds, and just randomly. Second, they said in the ad, “Best no WiFi games for cars, planes, or even trains ” or something like that. Since there are too many ads I decided to turn my internet off. But guess what, when i logged back on, it said, “no internet connection :(“ those are some huge problems about the game that i don’t like. Please either change the ad, or the game. Thank you for reading my review, have a great day 👍 and don’t forget to stay hydrated!

by Alpha1500

If you’re reading reviews you already know about the problems with ads so I won’t bother with that. Here’s what you might not know. How many levels do you think there are? 25, 50? It seems pretty simple. Just come up with a bunch of pixel designs and let the player smash them. All pixels are worth the same amount so you don’t have to worry about what colors you use. All upgrades are the same so you don’t have to worry about that. You can even take photos and images online, crank them through some pixelation, then import that into you game.
So, have you guessed yet?
11 levels. This game has 11 levels and then begins to repeat infinitely. I usually don’t mind paying 3 dollars for a really fun time killer. Too bad this one only lasted about an hour.

by Jasonsherlock

The game itself is fine and feels relaxing to me in a way, it’s satisfying to see the blocks fall and to collect them and upgrade things to progress to new levels.

The part I’m here to complain about is that part of the upgrades are bugged. For me, the whole set of treadmill/extra fuel/multiplier upgrades can never be purchased, even if I have enough money. The only way I’ve been successful is when they’re offered for a lower price by watching an ad, which is frustrating after I’ve already paid to not watch ads. I can play enough to make the money to get the upgrade, but the button stays greyed out and will not let me purchase it.

I’ve seen this too upgrading the arm length, if it will offer a reduced price by watching an ad and I decide to go for it, the upgrade won’t be applied once it is finished.

I will say that after paying, I have not been getting any ads that I did not initiate. But the game is putting me in positions to initiate them against my will as it is the only way to progress some of the upgrades. I’d love to see this fixed in some way

by Roya Yawar

Okay so basically, it is a normal game where you crush something and yk. BUT THE FACT THAT YOU NEED WIFI TO MOVE A CRUSHER????? Ok lets get real, no one is gonna like your game if your being forced to watch ads and you need wifi to move a crusher. My house is having an upgrade which issues the wifi and i keep getting kicked out because of this. I’m also going somewhere and the trip is 10 hours, i have been searching for games for the last 16 minutes and i thought I found the perfect game until i found out that you need a very strong wifi in order to play, dont forget that you need to keep exiting so all your progress will be gone you need to exit for gas, strength and things you need in order to beat the level, EVEN LEVEL 1 IS HARD? Okay your game might be good and addictive but the fact that your being so greedy with ads wifi and stuff makes the game just a no. You should fix it before half of the people who like it uninstall it.

by Haldos

Free games have ads or in app purchases to support them, this is known. Having ads come in exchange for rewards that the player chooses to engage with is fine, ads that pop up without input are not enjoyable.

Everytime you go to the store you get an ad, doesn’t matter how well you did, or even if you just saw an ad 2 seconds ago. The games core gameplay loop lasts, at best, 20 seconds before you have to go back to the store for upgrades.

You win the game by clearing the blocks, nothing else, so some upgrades become far more vital to your progression compared to the others, leaving the others feeling strategically much less important. The prices for the important upgrades becomes so high, that you’ll be forced to watch a lot of ads due to the gameplay loop just to afford one upgrade.

It’s a silly, time wasting game with zero challenge as is expected, but I also have Royal match, which has more challenge and zero ads, so I can’t recommend this as more than a way to find other games to play because ads are almost always some kind of other game in BucketCrusher Store.

by Russames

It’s a satisfying game, sure. Thing is, when I try to play it, I get spammed with ADs, especially disturbing ones! Some are sexual, some are literally gore. It’s making me really uncomfortable. Two, it’s SO laggy! Like, I can barely enjoy a minute until my game lags and freezes to the point I have to refresh the page completely. Fix these please. If you don’t, not many people will play it. I’ve been thinking about deleting it now cause simple slime games with bad asmr is better than this. Also, it’s so infuriating to buy fuel and lose it in 17 seconds due to a lack of it. Also, can you fix the “buy full tank” or “get 3x fuel” thing? Due to the high graphics, it glitches BucketCrusher , and doesn’t even give me the reward for watching the stupid AD for extra fuel to keep going. Also, if I press decline, I get a 30 second AD thrown into my face, and I still have to wait. Can you please just put the fuel tabs somewhere else like in a corner so we can choose if we want it? And maybe have less ADs cause spamming ADs is just SO annoying! Please, fix the flaws.

by Redmatt343

Just to let you know. There is no point in playing this game after level 10. I have tried Everything with maxed out abilities and the crusher can not reach the top right corner to finish the stage. I was only playing this game to pass the time. Even tho the ads it is attempting to load makes the game super laggy and almost unplayable at times, I took it more of a challenge to see how far I could get before I got overly frustrated… I would still likely be playing the game giving y’all ad revenue, if there wasn’t an impossible level. If this got fixed I might play it again to pass the time.

by Walconsepulaseye

It’s a good and fun game it does exactly what mobile games should do. the only problem is that there’s so many objects even on level one your phone becomes so laggy because it is trying so hard to see what all the little objects are doing. you should try to find some way to fix this because it got so bad to the point that my screen started glitching and my phone started clicking, actual clicking noises from my phone. not to mention that the game gets so laggy that it becomes unplayable. In short term there are way too many small objects for a mobile device and PHONES HAVE LIMITATIONS especially when it comes to physics.

by Matt-MBP

Very simple game, the kind that elementary school kids make in their first programming class but games don’t have to be complicated or have good graphics to be fun. Unfortunately it’s a VooDoo game so this simpleton tutorial level is literally the very best they are capable of, and was never meant to be anything more than a rapid-fire ad delivery platform. They don’t even bother pretending anymore, in an extravaganza of naked unabashed greed Voodoo has chosen to disable BucketCrusher altogether unless your device is fully connected to all ad platforms and allows tracking and sale of all personal data. Just laughably pathetic even by the extremely low standards of Voodoo.

by ...andthedutch

So this a a good game yes but I have two reasons for my rating.

1. It’s really hard to get past level 1. Hear me out. To get past level one is a chore and every time you upgrade something it gets more expensive. Also the thing runs out of gas quick like I’ve spent hours trying to get past level 1

2. SO MANY ADS!!! Dude this game runs on ads also you can’t play without internet. Why? Because ads. And I know most games have ads but these ads are so gross. Some are inappropriate ON A KIDS GAME. Also the amount of ads is unreasonable. Literally every minute boom ad. I like it but would not recommend gonna delete soon.

by Flufhamster

Saw on ad and decided to give it a whirl. Good time killer and fun idea, but it just hurts when they give you an option to watch an ad for a bonus or “no thanks”, and the no thanks makes you watch an ad anyways? Also there’s an ad button to fill your tank, but watching the ad only fills the tank up like a third. Also devs, use a rounding function so your money display doesn’t have so many decimal points. Final issue, after about 10 minutes of playing my phone (iPhone 13) got super hot and started stuttering super bad. I know the physics aspect of this game is important but you gotta optimize or something, it literally became unplayable.

by Lillian__Rowe

As most mobile games are it spams with ads and you can’t play without a connection unfortunately. The ads aren’t terrible though like they aren’t incredibly long and you can skip after a bit.
The graphics are not as bad as a lot of games are and it’s really satisfying and addictive to progress. Lots of games (usually made by Unity) are very simple and just appear like they’re gonna be laggy but this one is bright and clean looking and most of the time runs smooth.
It does gets kinda laggy/buggy at times tho like often when I finish a level it doesn’t let me progress and it just shows that I have no fuel but nothing happens I can move around still even if there’s nothing to destroy and I have to close out of the game and restart it to get back in and then it opens on the next level.
I recommend playing this game even if it’s just until you get bored after a week and delete/forget about it but it is Voodoo after all it’s gonna be decent quality 👏🙌 (minus the ads)

by Sdcjbjsefvjjaegrjruvucefj

Ok this game is fun simple and a GREAT time burner, but it’s ads are often and you cant play it without WiFi on despite the game having nothing to do with online features. So that’s annoying but just imagine not being able to play the game PERIOD. I’ve had to redownload this game twice now because the game crashes and then will not load back in no matter what. This is extremely frustrating because I lose all my progress whenever I have to redownload the game again. Please fix this and let us play without WiFi.

by Shikamaruization

It’s a good chill game. I like how it looks and it’s pretty fun to play. The biggest problem is it heats up my phone really quick after a few rounds and I have to stop playing till my phone cools down. It becomes dangerously hot. Also there is an ad after every round which is a lil excessive. I feel like they can do fine with an ad after every other round instead since I understand you gotta make money somewhere. I’m guessing because there are lots of small blocks rendering on screen is the reason why my phone heats up so quickly. Other than that, it’s a pretty chill game.

by ItsOwentime

Ok so I like this game very much, but then there’s the issues, so at one point you can’t even get a costume even though there aren’t even that much costumes.
My second issue is that there aren’t even many building designs to destroy, like add more please.
My third and final issue is that at one point the game glitches and once you beat a level you get kicked out of the game and when you come back in you have max everything, but still yet again, when you finish the level it kicks you out again and again and again.
Please fix these issues. In my opinion, this would be a great game if you make these changes.

by Pinneapeleman123yt

Let me start this with some positives this game is really fun if you have nothing to do or while waiting for something (exactly what a mobile game should be) but i have some issues theres WAY to many ads and it requires internet to run for some stupid reason listen i have no problem with watching an ad every once and a while but this game gives you an ad after EVERY attempt and it can get really annoying after a while another problem is that it drains my battery way faster than any other game ive played but thats not that big of an issue as long as u can charge your phone otherwise i really like some of the level designs, tool designs, and upgrades it’s honestly a really fun game i just wish the developers would loosen up on the amount of ads they show you

by Leaf65

Very very fun concept.

Just a relaxing game kinda similar to ASMR
The little taps of the phone increasing in pace as your drill increases in power is a very nice touch.

The physics are also very nice and fluid

My only real complaint besides the ads. Which for $2.99 you can get rid of them, I feel that’s fair.

The game is very addicting and relaxing, it’s simple and it does not need any thing else

OTHER than some kind of simple level editor or maybe make it so you can take an image off your phone and turn it into a level. I’m
Not too sure how complicated that would be to implement. But it’s an idea that would increase the replay ability.

As it stands now there are “10” levels which are all great but have questionable progression

After the “10” levels. The game counts the next level as “11” even though it just really starts back at the beginning.

You do get to keep your permanent upgrades though so it’s nice to comeback and see the progression you’ve made.

Either way. I wish just a tiny bit more love was put into the game, I think it has a lot of potential for an actually relaxing game.

Just please add some more levels! And maybe take it easy on the adds.

Good job!

by EVERY NICKNAME I WANT = TAKEN

This is a fun app but it’s really annoying because every time you finish a round it has an ad and it really bugs me off like I need more fun time and not ads. And this should be a no internet game so whenever your on a road trip you can play and if there’s no internet there’s no ads! It is really fun tho I would really appreciate if there were less ads. I mean why are there so many ads we can’t have fun if all of these ads are in the way, I would prefer a “no ads” so we can enjoy this game

by Gamerpersonnnnnnn

Ok. First off, game is not advertised as the game, I haven’t seen a Minecraft level at all. There is also no Minecraft skin.

Game is great. But too many ads. Every level you complete, ad. Then sometimes it asks if you want to triple your earnings. I barely press that button because I just watched an ad.

At whatever level I was at, I don’t know if it’s just my phone or the game. Eventually the game started saying “You’re not connected to the internet” so I turned on and off airplane mode. Didn’t fix anything. Please help?

by Sojaboylink

I love this so much literally nobody knows how much I love this game it's game I have so much money on like I upgrade money every second like I found a way to the good at the game and so I am very good at the game and so I hope you make an update where if you run out of fuel it just reminds you and you don't use all the stuff I just want the update to be Little more better than you right now no offense but I am just seeing what it could be better but I didn't read it all the way to five stars because I want you guys to update it and make it more five stars so thank you and make another update of this

by Herobrine2480

This game is very fun, and I saw it from an ad, decided to click it, and it was nice playing. You only have a few options though to upgrade 4 things, and you just slowly dig away until you can get everything, then you move to the next level and it’s the same thing from the start but with a different design. Still fun but I wish there was some more variation on the digging part somehow. Still going to rate 5 stars since I’m enjoying it and have no problems.

by Aidan Lim

I like this game a lot its pretty fun and a good way to kill time but the only issue os that the joystick is super annoying because how it moves and your finger moves, the joystick should lock in place after clicking and holding down on the screen. Otherwise this game is great and i don't see anything else wrong with it so far.

by 👁👄👁💋

This is like literally one of my favorite games I’ve ever had, but, my iPad got a little overheated and glitchy so I closed out the tab I had it in. When I tried to reopen it, it shows the thing where it says “voodoo” then, it just brought me back to my Home Screen. It keeps kicking me out like That and I’m not sure what the heck is going on. If the devs have any solutions for this problem please let me know because I can not live without this game.😭😭😭
