### 2/5 — Can not revive

*2020-01-21, version 1.5.1*

This prevents me from moving up in the game because now I have a lack of free coins. I cannot play videos for extra coins not can I revive it keeps saying video will not load

### 2/5 — Won’t load videos

*2019-10-23, version 1.5.1*

I really enjoyed this game until the recent updates. Now, you can no longer get bonus coins, revive your ship after dying, or complete quests that are necessary to progress in the game.
If the designers will get their game to load video ads, so I can play the game, I am willing to come back and give you 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Banner ad blocks game status

*2019-08-29, version 1.5.1*

Does this company not test the games they make. Banner ad completely blocks the top of screen which is the place that shows the status of your game (how much gold you have, level, total stars, etc.). Now no way of knowing where you are in the game.

So dumb. This company has some seriously retarded people working for them who thinks placing a banner ad on top of the main part of the game will make this game useful.

Skip this game...

### 1/5 — まだバグがあるみたいです

*2019-08-22, version 1.5*

すみません、訂正します。レベルの件は私の勘違いでした。
ただ、やはり、まだReviveのビテォ再生ボタンを押してもビデオが再生されず、仕方なくNo thanksを押すことになってしまいます。修正をよろしくお願いします。

### 3/5 — Love it, butttt

*2019-08-02, version 1.4*

Been playing the game for awhile now and love how it’s difficult yet possible to beat every level! Only issue currently is that ads don’t work, revives don’t work etc.  I’ll switch review to 5 stars if that gets working again!

### 2/5 — Unable to beat without spending $

*2019-07-19, version 1.4*

Just another game designed to get your $ !  Impossible to get past mission 98

### 1/5 — Update dringend nötig

*2019-07-10, version 1.4*

Seit dem Update funktionieren die Videos nicht mehr, was die Lust am Spiel ziemlich schnell vergehen lässt. Schade.

### 3/5 — Utmost Complaint

*2019-07-03, version 1.4*

I take it you guys are having difficulties since the videos don’t work huh

### 3/5 — Бонусы

*2019-07-01, version 1.4*

После последнего обновления, не могу посмотреть видео, для получения бонусов

### 1/5 — 邪魔です。

*2020-03-14, version 1.5.1*

広告が保有コイン数等の上に
表示されて見えない、
わからない状態ですが
それでいいんですか？

非常に不愉快です。

### 1/5 — Broken

*2020-01-22, version 1.5.1*

Decently fun but currently broken. Videos fail to load preventing progress

### 1/5 — Too many problems

*2020-01-04, version 1.5.1*

Ask to revive but videos only load half the time. Fix this issue please.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2019-12-31, version 1.5.1*

I have deleted this game, obviously the people who put this out there don’t give a dam about fixing it

### 1/5 — Заброшка

*2019-11-19, version 1.5.1*

Была хорошая игра. Но стало ясно, разработчики ее забросили.вылетает, видео для просмотров бонусов не работает

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2019-10-08, version 1.5.1*

Like the other review in the App Store, after a few games the app no longer is able to load any videos, so you only get one life and lose out on all the bonuses x2. Please fix this, because the gameplay is fun, when working

### 1/5 — Mission 39 zu schwer nicht schaffbar

*2019-10-04, version 1.5.1*

An sich gut bis auf das man zwischendurch die Level erst nach 1000000 versuchen schafft wie zb bei Level 39 Ultra schnell kommen die Blöcke das ist nicht zu schaffen bitte fixt diese Leveln zu normalen und macht die Bosse dafür schwerer

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-10-01, version 1.5.1*

It would be better if revive would work but it fails to load video. When you play level again it will in an ad though

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2019-09-11, version 1.5.1*

Could be an ok game but the amount of pop up ads in invasive and destroys gameplay.

### 1/5 — Videos Stopped Working

*2019-09-07, version 1.5.1*

After the last update, videos will not load. Can not progress on missions due to no revive and can't double rewards. Dev?

### 5/5 — ゲームはおもしろくて星5だがボスの姿や容貌がおこさま向け過ぎて、ボスが出てきた瞬間、なんだか子どもあつかいされているみたいでやめてしまった

*2023-10-18, version 1.7.4*

ゲームはおもしろくて星5だがボスの姿や容貌がおこさま向け過ぎて、ボスが出てきた瞬間、なんだか子どもあつかいされているみたいで、せっかくおもしろいゲームなのにゲームをプレイするのを中断してやめてしまった。

### 5/5 — Fun Time-Killer

*2019-08-01, version 1.4*

Easy mechanics, level up with reasonable difficulty, pretty smooth gameplay.

My only issue is what I hope to be a temporary one — after an update, all the ads stopped working which also means you can’t get double gold or revive which is a solid half of the missions making it very difficult to up your ranking.

### 4/5 — Airplane mode

*2020-06-29, version 1.5.1*

I went into airplane mode and I still get ads

### 4/5 — Great game......but !

*2019-08-17, version 1.4*

Great little game which is very addictive. 
Would have given 5 stars but none of the ads load so I can revive my ship and carry on my mission ! 
Tried to let the developers know on their support page but it didn’t load !!!

### 4/5 — Can’t revive

*2019-07-10, version 1.4*

After the update you can’t revive your ship always saying video load failed

### 3/5 — Please fix the revive and 2x gold videos!

*2020-04-18, version 1.5.1*

I was so far along and it stopped letting me revive or double the gold by watching ads. The videos always fail to load. So I tried all of the things you normally try: closing/reopening the app, turning off/on my phone. Then I was stupid and deleted the app to reinstall and now I have to start all over! I quit.

### 3/5 — Ok but..

*2020-04-04*

For all the effort to get gold to increase base and ship health it’s particularly frustrating how weak both are and even a glancing hit weakens your fire power so much it’s pointless trying to battle on.

### 3/5 — Fix it

*2020-02-18, version 1.5.1*

After the update I can’t view any of the ads. No revives, no extra gold. I’ve also noticed that I can no longer do quests. So I haven’t gotten any ribbons.

### 3/5 — Anon

*2020-01-19, version 1.5.1*

The pop up adverts cover the top bar, so i am unable to see how many coins i have, makes it hard to play and be able to know when i can upgrade, its a shame because it stops me wanting to play. I will delete game because of this.

### 3/5 — CAN’T REVIVE

*2019-11-14, version 1.5.1*

Love game but won’t allow you to use revive, especially the special revive!!!! Won’t spend money till that’s fixed!! Also won’t allow for gold rewards!!!!!
