### 4/5 — Неплохо

*2016-02-12*

Не знаю как там на windows хламе,  но для того чтобы убить пару часов - пойдет.

### 1/5 — Ужас!!!!!

*2015-06-05*

Отвратнейшая игра, жаль нет оценки -1
Самая ужасная игра, в которую я играл, не качайте, ни в коем случае, не тратье деньги, на windows phone в миллион раз лучше

### 2/5 — not fun

*2013-09-10*

Seems to be a tron lightbikes clone.  Tried 3-4 games on iphone4 and they were awful.  Controls are laggy, gameplay is not fun.  There's nothing telling me how I might make progress or why I would want to play more than 2 minutes before deleting the game.

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2013-09-04*

It would be much better if the bots started out easy and gradually got harder, and there should be lives and power ups.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2013-09-03*

It's a fun game to chill with colors

### 4/5 — First rating

*2013-09-03*

Well this is really fun!! Get it! (Get the IPad one though) :3

### 4/5 — This isn't a universal app. If u have an iPad, buy the iPad one.

*2013-05-27*

Most addicting. Unstoppable fun. Now updated for the tall screens. :) however, it's more fun with 4 people. If u have an iPad then consider get it on that big screen instead. This app isn't universal.

### 1/5 — Doesn't optimized to the iPhone 5

*2013-02-18*

No multiplayer online

### 3/5 — Great game except...

*2013-02-12*

I love this game. The graphics and colors are awesome! The music I love. It's challenging in that you have to be quick when turning and dodging your opponent, wall or yourself. It's like playing an updated version of worm, with a twist. It's a great game, EXCEPT they need to add landscape mode and iPhone 5 screen support. Playing the game in portrait is VERY awkward and you lose quite often. My husband has the game on his Window's phone and IN landscape and it is much comfortable to play with in hand. I hope the developers add this feature in an update soon. Otherwise, worth it and more stars.

### 4/5 — Achtung

*2013-02-03*

I love this game very addicting but can you guys make it optimized for the new iPod touch 5th generation please? Thanks.
