## Review summary

Don’t Touch The Spikes is praised for its simple, addictive gameplay and strong nostalgia, with multiple modes and broad device compatibility. However, many reviews pile up on the negatives: ads disrupt gameplay frequently (including mid‑game and after rounds), progress and records can be wiped, and various bugs/lag affect stability. Some device-specific display issues also crop up on newer iPhones. Overall, the core game remains appealing, but ad fatigue and reliability problems hamper long‑term enjoyment.

### Pros

- Simple, addictive core gameplay with multiple modes (duels, candy collection, quests) that keeps the game engaging.
- Nostalgic, long‑standing appeal; beloved by players for years and often cited as a favorite from years past.
- Easy to pick up and play across a wide range of devices; lightweight and accessible.
- Variety and replayability through different modes and challenges rather than a single loop.

### Cons

- Ads are overly frequent and disruptive, including mid‑game interruptions and ads after every round.
- Progress and personal records can be wiped or lost, causing major frustration for players.
- Bugs and performance issues, such as duels freezing, misbehavior in challenges, and lag especially after ads.
- Device-specific display problems, like spikes cropping off or being invisible on newer iPhones.
