### 4/5 — It’s good

*2025-01-06, version 1.21*

I recommend this for anyone with time to kill, good difficulty and it has a nice gameplay loop. It’s a bit lacking in some areas but it’s still fun nonetheless

### 4/5 — More could be added

*2025-01-03, version 1.21*

The main Idea of the game is to move around only being able to use a left and right button, while moving you leave behind a trail that kills enemies. You also have to collect 15 coins in the process of killing the enemies to stay alive. 

This game is good, but I feel like it needs to have more features, such as levels. Currently, I haven’t been able to collect all 15 coins but if there isn’t a level system, there should be one. Also, make a store for people to buy things using the coins such as cosmetics, player boosts and a lot more. 

I’d also recommend expanding to create more games, this current game is really good. I think you’d do really well as a game creator. Based off this game, you’ve got some serious talent.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2015-04-06, version 1.02*

Love it. Simple, plain and thoroughly addictive. Some suggestions: change up the screen color by giving player multiple options--some starry space colors would be way better. Also, make the levels get harder as they go along. It is too easy this way and I do not necessarily want to speed up the options to make it harder.

### 5/5 — Addicting!

*2014-06-27, version 1.02*

This game is really fun and unique. It's simple and easy to pick up and play.

### 3/5 — It's addicting! But needs work.

*2014-06-22, version 1.02*

The game is good. I found it really addicting until I got 15 coins. It was really anticlimactic. Maybe if after 15 coins it restarts but in a different background. Like maybe there is a line or two that you can't touch or maybe you can go through from top to bottom but not left to right. Something that gives it more replay value once you beat it. But it was fun while it lasted!

### 5/5 — Just One More Go...

*2014-06-22, version 1.02*

When it comes to iOS gaming I require one of two main flavours. Long term commitment to a little town populated by needy people who require me to check up on them every few hours OR a simple quick game that gets under my skin like the ear worm thing from Wrath of Khan. 

15 Coins may as well be called 15 minutes of your life gone in an instant as it drew me in like the smell of bacon on a Sunday morning. 

Simple design, addictive gameplay and a hook that simply requires you to collect 15 coins amid a time bending collection of clones of your ship. One part Asteroids and One Park Nokia Snake it has had me in it's grubby grasp all week and I heartily recomment it to anyone who likes any of the following things:
1) Fun
2) Self-Loathing
3) The Works of Paul Rudd
4) Simple, Clean Design 
5) Spending Money on a game that is made by a small team who would really appreciate it being appreciated
6) Making little cars out of Lego
7) Anyone who doesn't think it is ok to throw unicorns into wells.

So if any of the above describes you, then get this game on your device and take on the clones of your own design.

### 4/5 — HATE IT

*2014-06-22, version 1.02*

:((((( cant reach 15 coins!

### 5/5 — Devious and addictive

*2014-06-22, version 1.02*

Like all the best ideas, it's simple to get and hard to master. Frustrating in a good way, this has kept me busy for hours and still only able to get 8 coins! 

Time for another game!

### 5/5 — Great challenging game

*2014-06-18, version 1.02*

The game overall is very fun and addicting as long as you don't have a sour attitude about it. I personally like the touch control over the tilt because the tilt is a little difficult to maneuver. Other than that it's a great game!

### 4/5 — Addictive and Difficult

*2014-06-17, version 1.02*

This is one if the best games for people who love to hate their favorite games.  The only reason I can imagine that it got so many bad reviews would be because of the level of difficulty.

It's beautiful, though. Smooth. Clean. Minimalistic arcade style graphics. 

It might be the reason I throw my phone across the room but I enjoy every minute of it.

### 5/5 — Addictive!!

*2014-06-17, version 1.02*

This game is rather basic, but my word is it good. Extremely addictive and also find it challenging (not even got 15 coins on easy). A must for a time killer.

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2014-06-16, version 1.02*

This game is near perfect! Very very addictive. Good game. Try it, don't give up

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2014-06-16, version 1.02*

It's a different game but it's fun to play once ya get the hang of it lol

### 5/5 — Best game app

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-06-16, version 1.02*

It's fun!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2014-06-22, version 1.02*

Sure it is a very difficult and people giving it kudos are just full of themselves. I must be an idiot because according to them i dont like this game because of its difficulty. I play gsmes to relax and feel that i sm progressing. I dont have time to waste and try to get good at this game.

### 1/5 — Very poor game

*2014-06-19, version 1.02*

This game is impossible to control the direction.  It just randomly moves in a new direction when you touch the screen.  No clue if it is going right or left.  Poor!

### 1/5 — Absurdly Bad Interface

*2014-06-17, version 1.02*

The user interface, both "touch" and "tilt", are shamefully bad!  Don't bother with this, it's not worth the frustration!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2014-06-16, version 1.02*

I'm not trying to be rude to the maker of the game. This game I can see where the challenge would be in playing but like ok the touch you touch the screen but the ship does very little in moving an mostly jst spins in a circle. The tilt is a little easier but it's very unstable. I think it needs to be tweeted a little. The game says it goes forword but even if I set my iPhone down the ship still spins in circles an goes the opposite direction from which I touch or till an sometimes I can't move it at all

### 1/5 — Aren't games supposed to be fun?

*2014-06-16, version 1.02*

Boring + frustrating = deleted game

### 1/5 — Don't do it!

*2014-04-10, version 1.01*

Way too hard, tedious, confusing, the controls are poor despite offering multiple methods. This is the fastest ever deleted it two dollar game! I would suspect the veracity of the 5-star reviews.

### 1/5 — Invisible Clones

*2014-04-04, version 1.01*

Getting killed by invisible clones on the lowest difficulty setting is aggravating.  And there is no discernible way to determine when the power-up item will diminish.

### 2/5 — :(

*2014-06-17, version 1.02*

Make like easy medium and hard and don't make the coins disappear

### 2/5 — Too hard.

*2014-05-25, version 1.01*

Too hard.

### 2/5 — Not a good difficulty curve, too easy

*2014-04-14, version 1.01*

The idea is cute but not well implemented. The mechanics of the game are fundamentally different between the difficulty levels. 

On medium and hard, it's possible to always have a clean board since you move quickly enough to snap up enough clones. The difficult there is in coordinating your turns properly. In hard mode the arrow just moves more quickly and turns faster, but the interface feels clunky for that mode, so it seems it's harder just cause the interface isn't good. 

On easy mode however, you move way more slowly and the powerup lasts about the same, so you can never eat all the clones. The strategy there is to keep your paths relatively non-overlapping and take out clones occasionally. The board gets quite full of them though so this is actually the hardest mode in my opinion. But it's practically a different game. 

For me, for a minimalist game to work it has to be supremely polished in all its aspects. The game falls short in the most important one, so I unfortunately just can't rate it very highly.

### 5/5 — It is good, but it is hard

*2026-02-19, version 1.21*

I will give her a one star, but five star

### 5/5 — Fun but hard

*2025-02-14, version 1.21*

Really fun game I’ve never made it past level 9 so I’m still working

### 5/5 — Fun game by a solo dev.

*2025-01-10, version 1.21*

Found on TikTok. Lots of potential for new features!

### 5/5 — W Game

*2025-01-06, version 1.21*

I got a little ad on Tik tok and he asked very politely for me to get 15 coins. I got it and it’s been very fun and addictive. It’s simple and challenging I very much enjoy it….especially on the toilet.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!

*2024-12-31, version 1.21*

I saw someone promoting it on TikTok and thought I would give it a try, no regrets. I will not be deleting this app. Ever.

### 5/5 — My favourite game!

*2014-08-12, version 1.02*

I have played this a ton over the last couple of months.  Very simple design.  Quite challenging.  Easy controls.  I don't know what one reviewers problem with the controls was - touching the left or right side of the screen is as simple as it gets (I haven't tried the tilt interface.

My one gripe against the game is small.  You have the ability to speed up the game, but then it goes WAY too fast.  The ability to go a bit faster would be a good option.

### 5/5 — Simple and fun!

*2014-08-09, version 1.02*

Title says it all.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2014-07-17, version 1.02*

Challenging initially. Once you get the hang it the it becomes a race against yourself. 

To combat the low ratings for lack of features...be patient and wait for a new version.

### 5/5 — One word: Amazing.

*2014-07-06, version 1.02*

Very rarely do I find myself writing 5 star reviews on a game. This is very fun and simplistic. I can't wait for the next game from this developer!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-06-28, version 1.02*

I can't put this down. I think the music has me in a trance!
