Review summary

Most reviews center on persistent coin loss and monetization issues. Players report coins disappearing on exit or focus loss, preventing upgrades; ads are intrusive; upgrades are overpriced for the rewards offered. A few users cite support gaps or failed purchases. Despite fun, easy-to-learn gameplay, these persistent issues undermine long-term enjoyment.
Pros
  • Fun and addictive gameplay that makes it a good time killer.
  • Easy to learn and pick up with straightforward mechanics.
  • Engaging challenge that works well for short sessions.
Cons
  • Coins vanish when you close or switch away; progress is not saved.
  • Ad-heavy experience with frequent interruptions.
  • Upgrades are very slow and expensive relative to rewards.
  • Some users report purchases or ad removal not applying and limited support.

every time the app loses the focus you lose your gold. besides, I paid for removing ads and the levels won't evolve much, they look all the same

Decent time killer but your coins reset every time you close and reopen the ap. Upgrades take forever to grind because they cost hundreds of coins, but you only get 20 per level with occasional chests that I've never seen have more than 80 coins. Not sure why the app is called Hook.io in the store but is labeled as Town Rush once downloaded. Town Rush is much more fitting a name.

Severely lacking but has potential. If you log out, you lose all the coins you have collected. I've reached out to support twice, but there was no response. Don't spend a dime on this game, or you will literally be ripped off. Removed this as a result.

Super fun game. Very challenging; very addicting. I don't mind the ads, but could you please make them muted so they don't interrupt Spotify?

Fun for when bored, but I can't level up any of my units because my coins disappear moments after collecting them. I got 300 coins after playing for a bit yesterday, and I hop on today to see that I only have 40. Please fix this.
