### 4/5 — Updates/Changes/Care

*2024-05-23, version 2.1.3*

Wish I would see more updates / changes. Although the game is the same, it’s good but wish I could see different game modes. Does the Astroparty team still pay attention to old games like this one, or focus on the future. It would be nice to see the team reply to this one.

Response to DEVS: still waiting for it to come to IPad.

**Developer response:** Hi Jacoby! After 7 years of work, we released Astro Duel 2. There is a ton of new content and modes in the sequel. Hope you get a chance to play it!

### 4/5 — Astro duel is great

*2023-09-06, version 2.1.3*

I love the revamped version of Astro Party just wish there was a setting for original Astro party controls
 controls

### 4/5 — Good game, needs Astro remote on iPhone

*2022-08-30, version 2.1.2*

This game is very good like Astro party but with more stuff. It need Astro remote to work on iPhone though because the we can only have to players.

### 3/5 — Good game but

*2019-01-23, version 2.0*

Put back the astro party system of controls

### 3/5 — CPUs are too accurate

*2018-10-05, version 2.0*

The game is great but the new items can be way too OP especially when combined with the Hard Mode CPU’s annoyingly good accuracy, also on the map with the Pac-Man style tunnels all the CPU does is turn around making it feel unnatural due to their inability to as a person would

### 3/5 — Capacity

*2017-11-23, version 2.0*

There should be more play to play

### 5/5 — Good gane but

*2016-09-18, version 2.0*

Please can you do something for me i know that you can only play with 2 or more players do a 1 player mode and multiplayer online pleaseand very good game

### 5/5 — Best App Only If...

*2016-07-18, version 2.0*

Ther was an online version and there could be a team pilot execution. Like seriously have an online version.

### 4/5 — Astro Duel Online?

*2016-06-05, version 2.0*

This game is amazing. I played this and Astro Party with my friends all towards the end of the school year. Now that summer break is here, I can't play this game with them anymore. Astro Online would be an amazing experience and I bet many others would enjoy it also.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-05-16, version 2.0*

Really fun multiplayer game.   Playing with my 5 yo right now.  can’t wait until my 3 yo get older so we can all play!  Thanks for the Astro Remote!

### 3/5 — Solid app, but put in the original Astro party experience as well!

*2016-05-06, version 2.0*

The additional arenas and playing style is great, but for a $5 app that is supposed to be an upgrade, please try and put in the two button 4 player local experience of Astro Party and the replays available in the free version!

### 5/5 — Team Pilot Execution

*2016-02-03, version 1.2*

Do you know how there is pilot execution and team deathmatch, i would request a team pilot execution!

### 1/5 — I demand a refund

*2017-04-19, version 2.0*

This game is dumb, I got it so I could play with my other friends on the same device, that is not what I got. Instead I got a game with wonky controls that doesn't even make sense.

### 1/5 — Dum

*2016-12-19, version 2.0*

It's stupid for iPad because it's not like the original at all there are only 2 players and the controls are insanely hard unless there is a better update I'll buy it

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2016-12-04, version 2.0*

Such a bad game 0 stars you have to play 2 players only and if you want 4 you have to use your iphone I am so disappointed I wish I never downloaded this game 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻😩😩😩💩💩💩💩😭😭😭😭😰😰😥😢😢😥😰😢😥😰😢😥😓😤😡

### 1/5 — Awful Controls

*2016-01-11, version 1.2*

I would love this game, but the controls are much harder than Astro Party. Please change this and I will be able to rate this 5 stars.

### 1/5 — 😒😒😒😒😒😒

*2015-07-07, version 1.2*

I can't find out how to get it too 3 or four players

### 1/5 — Controls are an issue

*2015-05-16, version 1.2*

You should really update this app and come up with a way to turn left, right, and shoot with four people on one iPad without an iPhone. It's not fair that you can only do two people on this one but it has more power ups and maps. If that's fixed the. This will be a five star app.

### 1/5 — Not as fun as party tho

*2014-12-22, version 1.2*

If the controls were like Astro party this game would be really fun but if u have the controls all over its gonna be really hard plz fix this

### 1/5 — Is this some kind of lame joke?

*2014-07-27, version 1.0*

Lol, easy cpu? Whoever programmed the cpu should be punched in the throat, fired, thrown on the street, and curb stomped. The only way this is fun and fair is if you have someone to play it with, which isn't gonna happen 90% of the time. My advice, go get Soccer Physics, it's cheaper, more fun, and not full of cpu's that have unfair advantages.

### 2/5 — Awwwwwww come on bring it back

*2023-01-16, version 2.1.3*

I'd miss the Astro remote, it make things more fun!

### 2/5 — More like Astro Party?

*2016-09-20, version 2.0*

It's cool sure, but the simplicity of the original Astro party is what made it cool. Two buttons was what made it fun, and now I feel it's too complex for such a fast paced game. If the two button variation, where 4 people could play on the iPad, was back, it would be significantly better.

### 5/5 — hidden gem on tvOS.

*2025-12-14, version 2.1.3*

I just stumbled across this game in December 2025, even though it’s been out for over 10 years! Super fun couch co-op for 2 to 4 players. This is a super well designed, pick up and go party game… Great sound design, excellent music, super replayable, just the right balance of power ups, onscreen tips, user interface is perfect. just awesome all around 5 stars. Please update to include Game Center integration.

### 5/5 — A very fun game and sad Astro Remote app was removed!

*2022-06-28, version 2.1.2*

A great and addicting game. My roommates and I would play this for hours on end (up until about two weeks ago) using the Apple TV app and our phones with the now-former Astro Remote app. Could you please bring this back🙏🙏 it makes a huge difference. It’s just not the same without it

### 5/5 — Nice

*2019-11-28, version 2.0*

GREAT WITH FRIENDS

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-10-07, version 2.0*

Really fun game to play alone and with friends!!

### 5/5 — PLS MAKE 6 PLAYER

*2019-06-12, version 2.0*

PLS MAKE 6 PLAYER so many friends left out, to much waiting time, people raging because to many players, only 6 player can solve this so I ask you pls. Make 6 player. Thanks

### 5/5 — Overall a great game, but 1 prob...

*2019-05-18, version 2.0*

I really enjoy playing this game with my buddy, or sometimes me and my buddy team up on 2 COMS, it’s just a fun game to play to kill off boredom. BUT, overall one problem is standing among. It’s that apparently either the game ripped me off after paying almost $6.99 on this thing, or I was mistaken, so YOU choose. Am I either mistakened or getting ripped off? Another thing to announce, is that there is no 6 players, like it said it would be, son Developers... please fix this and accept my suggestion, I would be so very extremely grateful if you can fix this as soon as you can. Thank you for considering my comment, Developers... PEACE ✌🏼

### 5/5 — Great but remote play needs improvement

*2019-04-24, version 2.0*

The game is fun and like the new things but the multiplayer needs a little improvement.Like what if you aren’t playing in a place with WiFi.So it should have a Bluetooth option just like space team.Also remote play is only for apple.It should be for Android too.

### 5/5 — great

*2017-06-07, version 2.0*

great to play with friends but watch out, it gets very competitive

### 5/5 — Unbelievably great game

*2017-02-10, version 2.0*

Surprised Astro Duel isn't more popular. As an adult, its the only game i bother playing when I have friends over. Im running SNES emulators with 4 controllers hooked up to an old mac running open emu.. but we always end up playing this game on Steam... for hours! 

This game is retro with perfectly polished controls. I honestly cant think of many ways to make it better. Works perfectly on the iPad too if you are out and want to have a quick match with the iPhones acting as controllers. I prefer the apple TV and Steam versions because it gets intense while playing multiplayer on the big screen. I would say this is probably the best multiplayer arcade game available currently unless someone can recommend something else?? 

How i found out about it: While bored on vacation with gf I googled "best iPad muliplayer games", saw the demo in the app store and didnt hesitate to spend the money on it... no regrets at all. 

To the developer: you should introduce some paid power-ups or different ships as in-app purchases then make the app free for a few days to increase its popularity and profit :) Also maybe add some cool new retro tunes. If this had online multiplayer I wouldn't have a life. Take all my money!! This game is worth it! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great like gravity power on the amiga

*2016-12-01*

I was waiting for a game like gravity power on the amiga. True retro multiplayer gaming on one screen.
