### 4/5 — Good game/ dev plz read

*2026-08-16, version 1.14*

Pretty solid gameplay loop a lot like an old school arcade game mixed with vampire survivors. Sparkles enough to keep me entertained. 
note for the dev: please add an adjustable layout for the launch button. It’s very frustrating to only have thumb use on the right side

### 3/5 — Buy It On PC/Console Instead

*2026-08-04, version 1.13*

It’s a great game love playing it. I’m going to be honest I only heard of this game because of the free trial on the phone, but when I noticed it was on Xbox game pass I quickly learned playing it on M&K or Controller is so much better. Yes you can connect a BT controller to your phone and play that way, if you have one of those controllers that turns your phone into a Nintendo switch then I will 100% recommend this game

### 4/5 — Controller support

*2026-08-04, version 1.13*

This game needs controller support, other than that, pretty fun and I love the one time purchase model. Very refreshing not to have to pay weekly for this game.

### 4/5 — Exceptional game design, an instant classic. One serious issue.

*2026-08-01, version 1.13*

They seem to have thought of everything. What’s here is imaginative and thoughtful. Great everything, my only possible complaint is how long the game is.

This is a landmark not only for the genre, but for games as a whole. Absolutely spectacular. I would not hesitate a moment if there were an expansion at the same price. Any more content is pure gravy.

Edit: the character that plays the game itself sucks. Seems to be required to reach the actual end of the game. I have cancer and will probably never see it. Awful design choice.

### 3/5 — Perte de sauvegarde

*2026-07-31*

Le jeu est très cool mais une autre manière de viser serait vraiment bienvenue et perte de sauvegarde au retour d’une run ça fout un peu les boules

### 3/5 — 値上げされた？

*2026-07-29*

レビュー見てる感じでは1500円ってレビューしか見当たらないけど
今買おうとすると2500円になってるんだよね

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2026-07-29, version 1.13*

Don’t even try the trial just buy it

### 5/5 — doesn’t start up for me anymore

*2026-07-28, version 1.13*

I bought it a while back just downloaded it a couple days ago but it just goes into a black screen when ever I try to start it up

### 3/5 — Good overall with exceptions

*2026-07-27*

(Update: lowering my rating because after moving to a new phone, my game progress is gone! I wouldn’t have unchecked cloud saves, so my save should have been there. Many hours of playing wasted!)

Overall a good, fun, well made breakout/shmup style game with a decent variety in the characters/balls/abilities. 

Some issues though.
The town could be better done. The normal viewing angle is too low, making it hard to see buildings at the bottom where the foliage partly covers them and making it sometimes hard to select or differentiate adjacent buildings when they're placed tightly together (though it's fine while editing - why not just use the editing angle all the time?? or at least make it an option), and after you've unlocked a fair number of buildings, it becomes pretty unwieldy trying to manage where to put everything to optimize gathering of resources and fostering construction/upgrades.  In editing mode when you have a lot of buildings so the camera is zoomed out, it becomes difficult to see the expected ball path line (on my iphone 15 max pro).  Also during resource collection, balls can slip through the cracks between buildings.

Also the Radical character is ridiculous. I can sort of understand having an autoplay char for those that want to do other stuff while it plays out (though personally that's not my thing), but its ai is horrible!  It lets enemies and resources get to the bottom without attacking/picking them up, focuses most of its shots on the back row, and aims the rest of its shots at nothing!

### 3/5 — Muito caro

*2026-07-23*

Jogo muito bom, mas MUITO caro.

### 5/5 — My fav mobile game

*2026-07-22, version 1.13*

Time passes so fast and I have so much fun doing it this game is a blessing

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-07-21, version 1.13*

Cool and good game

### 5/5 — Best game of its ERA !!!

*2026-07-20, version 1.13*

The game play itself is amazing and the digital 3D art style is nice to look at.I’ve just been playing the trail and that is enough to have me hooked on it and be playing it for hours a day.Overall best game of all time definitely worth the 10.00$ price tag and addictive must get.

### 4/5 — Love the game

*2026-07-16, version 1.13*

Only complaint is when the only option left for fision is gold, and my builds maxed out. It should just auto do the gold. Especially for endless

### 2/5 — Expected better

*2026-07-16*

The synergies feel unsatisfying and the characters feel so basic. I expected more from a devolver game. Sadly i really regret my purchase of this game

### 4/5 — 楽しい！

*2026-07-15*

1500円分課金してスマホで楽しませてもらってます。拠点の収穫機能だったりボールの進化の組み合わせであったり独自性が高くて面白いです。ただ右スティックの操作性の悪さが少し気になります。スティックは円の形になっているのに上半分しか反応しないので狙っている方向とは別の方向に向けてしまうことが多々あります。下方向にボールを打てなくしているのは何が理由があるのか分かりませんが、もう少しカスタマイズ出来るようにして欲しいです。

### 3/5 — Great game with flawed controls

*2026-07-09, version 1.13*

The controls suck, they’re laggy and buggy, the touch function for aiming is broken and needs to be fixed so I can give this game the 5 stars it deserves

### 1/5 — 高い

*2026-08-05*

てっきり1500円と思ってたから2500円はちょっと高い。だってホロウナイト2より高いんだぞ？向こうがおかしいとはいえ、ヴァンサバライクの割にはそこまででは？

### 1/5 — 900 руб

*2026-07-15*

Думал бесплатна игра а оказывается нет

### 1/5 — LOST OVER 5+HRS Why play when my progress gets reset

*2026-07-14*

Not too sure if it’s cloud save or what’s making this happen but I will put in multiple hours of progress and even go back to the main menu where it says my game has been saved only to login at work the next day with my save from five hours when I had clearly made progress way past that. I’ve put this game down for multiple days wanting to go back to it terrified that all my time will be wasted.

UPDATE IT HAPPENED AGAIN after happening again I’m dropping the game entirely. I don’t know why it’s so fixated on my  cloudsave. I have made a post on Reddit too with no response from the developers too.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-05, version 1.13*

Misleading, I will never purchase this.

### 1/5 — Why play when my progress gets reset

*2026-06-17, version 1.13*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-16, version 1.13*

Black Screen Simulator should be the title because that’s all it is.

### 1/5 — Stop asking me to review

*2026-06-14, version 1.13*

Stop asking me to review your game. I bought it and you ask after every round. 1 star for annoying me

### 1/5 — Separate versions

*2026-06-14, version 1.13*

Have two versions of your game one that's free and one that's the $10 price. Don't have it hidden behind having to download the "free" version first then tell us there's a full version behind $10.

### 1/5 — Your font is too small. I can’t read it.

*2026-05-28, version 1.13*

Tried playing a game went into settings and I got readers on $1200 glasses
Fonts, too small I can’t read it

### 1/5 — 60 reais?

*2026-05-22*

Tomara que abra falência e todos os devs sejam demitidos.

### 5/5 — Dank game

*2026-08-15, version 1.14*

Have this game on 3 different platforms definitely not addicted tehe

### 5/5 — Brilliant.

*2026-08-11, version 1.14*

Love the concept, the delivery, progression, freedom. I never buy games but I wanted to support this one. Doesn’t shove adverts in your face or anything similar. Fully behind and enjoying what they’re doing.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-08-09, version 1.14*

Wow, I really love this game.  Completely worth the money.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-06, version 1.14*

Fix the offline mode. Even when you buy the full version of the game, when your offline its telling you to purchase the full game. Please fix this so you can play the game offline as well

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2026-08-05*

Un jeux magnifique graphiquement parlant avec des musique remarquables pour commencer, très dynamique avec ses niveaux de combat ; qui sont balancé par une création de base en parallèle. Action et construction, le tout dans un écrin musical impeccablement adapté, il est très complet avec une prise en main rapide et une belle simplicité de jeux tout en proposant des statistiques pour chacun des personnages : chill ou try hard, les deux sont possibles !
La démo gratuite finira de vous convaincre (elle est jouable plus de 2h)

### 5/5 — Wow

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-01, version 1.13*

Read title

### 5/5 — 歴史に残る神ゲー

*2026-08-01*

スマホゲーでは珍しい神ゲー。全てにおいてクオリティが高く、ボリュームやバランスも最高。エンディングで感動したしものすごい人数で手がけて作られたゲームです。このゲームに携わった全ての人々にコングラッチュレーション！！

### 5/5 — Surprised Me

*2026-08-01, version 1.13*

Really impressed me! Art style is cool, lots and lots of customization. Gameplay is great and unique. Insane replay-ability as well. Awesome find.

### 5/5 — Overall good, but the quality can be hit or missing

*2026-08-01, version 1.13*

This game is very fun and I like how the progression works, but some of the characters are questionable things Wheel comes to mind is the itchy finger cause auto fire is already a feature and so accurate sometimes that the best way to blame is by getting a bunch of piercing things or a bunch of things that make more projectiles that cause lag so I feel like a character like him could use some inept piercing normally instead of having a rapid fire gimmick. I know it doesn’t exactly fit the name anymore, but come on if you want the inaccuracy then you’re gonna give him something other than an incredibly fast, fiery when you’re about to die because sometimes he just doesn’t do enough damage to multiple enemies
