User reviews

Ai Slop

This game is made by a company that produces a mass amount of ai made apps. Don’t support this. The game is ok has a lot of issues especially with balancing. Not surprising considering it’s entirely Ai made. Even the update log is written by Ai. 👎

Response from developer

Thanks for saying this plainly. Backburn is a small solo-built game, and AI tools are part of how it gets shipped, but the balancing and polish are on us. We hear you on the rough edges and are working those issues. If you are willing, send specific pain points through the App Store support link so we can prioritize the worst ones.
