I have played it for a few hours and still finding it fun. I would love to see more updates for it! ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-02-27, version 1.1* This game has an awesome, basic design. The replay value is also there with the numerous layouts you can think of. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-02-22, version 1.1* This game is amazing. Unlike some games, this one gives you a challenge and it is a little harder. It did crash a couple times for me though. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2017-02-09, version 1.1* Love it! ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2017-02-07, version 1.1* Nice little game that requires some strategy. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2017-02-06, version 1.1* Fun game ### 5/5 — Play it *2017-02-04, version 1.1* Fun game but very repetitive so if you got 5-10 mins to kill it's worth the time ### 5/5 — Great. *2017-02-04, version 1.1* Cool little retro game brings me back Timmy childhood. ### 5/5 — Like it *2017-01-01, version 1.1* It's nice ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-12-30, version 1.1* This game is retro and simple very fun ### 5/5 — qwertyridhdhf *2016-12-18, version 1.1* heofnriskejdhf ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — WHY PAY!!! *2015-05-06, version 1.0* What's the point of buying the levels why can't you just get then for free this really let the game down and I was sad to find out that when I did but it it didn't work... WASTE OF TIME AND 79p ### 3/5 — Not bad *2017-04-25, version 1.1* Primitive graphics ### 3/5 — Alright *2016-11-28, version 1.1* Limited features, kinda fun ### 3/5 — Wishing for updates *2015-08-18* This game has potential to be amazing, but it's been squandered by no updates. It's not optimized for the 5,6, etc. so the screen space isn't wide enough. The money to buy troops makes little sense, as you could save your money, but not see it added to the next battle for a bonus. Overall, as it sits, it's a time killer but gets old after a while. Interjection of a few RPG elements would have made it amazing. ### 3/5 — Spend some time *2015-08-14, version 1.1* Ok for a quick break, doesn't appear at first run as a long term game. ### 3/5 — Multiplayer problems *2015-05-08, version 1.0* It's a ok game but when I do multiplayer it goes off the game ### 4/5 — This is good but one problem *2017-09-09, version 1.2* This game is really good but there's one little problem that I think all of us know. THERE SHOULD BE MORE ROOM TO PUT PEOPLE. I have been playing this for years. And I wanted to do more scaled battles like scp breach and stuff. You should fix this, even tho it's not a glitch this should be done ### 4/5 — Awesome *2017-04-12, version 1.1* Amazing love it so much but I would love a new campaign mission plz update it! ### 4/5 — Great game. *2017-02-05, version 1.1* They just need to add a way to stop the sound and optimize the app to fit all screen sizes. ### 4/5 — Great *2016-12-17, version 1.1* This game is great if your going to get it then do it only bad part it's almost impossible to get 3 stars maybe I'm just bad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A little strategy. A lot of time wasting fun. *2023-08-01, version 1.2* A little ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun *2020-05-05, version 1.2* Was not expecting this to be so good ### 5/5 — Pls add more *2020-03-27, version 1.2* I love ❤️ the game it’s the BEST GAME EVER just can have please add more units soon please I beat the game in one day so I wanted more units and some more levels thx ### 5/5 — Brilliant little game *2019-09-15, version 1.2* This is a brilliant little game. Well worth a look. ### 5/5 — Why limited *2018-08-11, version 1.2* I’d love it if you could use all the unit in the game in multiplayer I’d love to see this happen, Being limited to 9 and using it over and over is boring ### 5/5 — Crash *2018-07-16, version 1.2* I absolutely love this game but I have an iPhone 6 and whenever I do a huge battle in sandbox it exits sandbox pls fix ### 5/5 — Thep *2017-12-29, version 1.2* Great game! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-12-28, version 1.2* Pixel games can be very enjoyable. Could you release a sci-fi version of 8-bit war? I would definitely play that. ### 5/5 — Cool game *2017-07-29, version 1.1* Very nice ### 5/5 — This! *2017-06-05, version 1.1* Addictive with an old school feel.
