Summary : Attention game developers, this is how NOT to do!
On a daily basis I am sent emails requesting us to write an app or game review on our site. On most occasions we choose not to as the app / game is either not what we think our readers would be interested in or too mass produced.
On this occasion the game I’m reviewing is neither of those and to be honest this review is more a warning than anything else. A warning to users to stay away from the app and a warning to developers that your app will be named and shamed if you come to us with such dribble to review.
Below is a list of permissions this game needs to be installed. The list is huge so be prepared to know that expanding this section will likely result in data overload.

When it comes to terribly made games this one is up there with the best of them. To start with the game needs far too many permissions and some of them are very alarming due to the app using airpush to deliver adverts on the game.
Airpush in itself is a joke and causes no end of problems for users however if you want to earn money from your app, using airpush is not the way to go. You are more likely to put people off using it than you would if you charged 10 pence / cents for it on the Play Store.
If you take away the adverts for this game and everything that is worrying then do you have a decent and addictive game? Absolutely not, the gameplay is terrible in that I can hit the bottles every time without any effort and as for the graphics, well lets just say that the 3D title the game has is not worthy.
This game lacks anything good and I would seriously advise everyone to stay miles away from it as well as other games of it’s type. Be careful what you install folks, there is far too much muck on Google Play.
