User Reviews

Reviewers praise the game's visuals, story, and replay value, with ads that are relatively unobtrusive. However, stability issues (crashes/freeze) and intrusive advertising detract from the experience. Several players view it as a Bubble Bobble-inspired clone lacking originality, while others still enjoy its charm and want more content in a potential sequel.

Pros

Beautiful pixel art with charming visuals and unique characters.
Engaging story and solid, addictive gameplay mechanics.
Ads are minimal and not disruptive to the core experience.
High replayability and progression (unlocking characters; strong sequel potential).
Easy to pick up but with depth, offering a satisfying learning curve.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes that can cause progress loss or require restarting.
Intrusive ads that interrupt gameplay and have hard-to-tap close buttons.
Perceived lack of originality, seen by some as a Bubble Bobble clone rather than a fresh idea.
Some players find the game boring or not engaging over time.

Hey so I liked the original Drop Wiz so I thought I would like this one. I didn’t like it as much as I would hope, but that’s just because I’m not a huge fan of endless arcade games. Still loved the story and mechanics, although it would be fun to have maybe 2-3 more characters that would cost between the snow guy and Mia. Anyway, the real point of this review: roughly once every 5 minutes playing the game (and I think it might be caused by ads), the game freezes. The only way I’ve been able to fix this is by hitting the pause button, but that doesn’t always work. Okay, a bug that freezes your game a bit every once in a while, I can deal with that. But when it does get back to normal, it looks like the game has been running without visuals the whole time it was “paused”. I haven’t gotten too far and have this happen, but I could easily see this ruining my interest if I get to the end and it happens. Thanks if you look into this, if not, it’s not the end of the world but I’ll probably find another game. P.S. I was just wondering, but why is the hitbox for the ground platforms bigger than for the floating platforms? I just noticed that when I dropped off a floating platform onto the edge of an equally big ground platform, I still walk a little bit before falling off. I assume that it’s because you can walk into the side of ground platforms and if the hitbox was the same size as the floating platform, you would walk into the wall before turning around, which wouldn’t feel as good as just hitting the edge and turning around. Okay, I’m done rambling. :)

Very generic game that really has nothing to offer. The graphics are uninspired, the gameplay does not offer anything new and the game is completely not engaging. I could not even find myself playing this while waiting for the bus or waiting in line. To make things even worse, not even after 2 mins I was spammed with ads that have a crazy small close sign and take you elsewhere. Probably there is micropayments later, didn’t stay to find out.

That and in the in game encyclopedia it does not talk about bosses on any pages I have collected all 22 of them so I would like you to put more pages so it would talk about the bosses. This game is perfect for a sequel please make one.
