### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-11-15*

Poor controls

### 3/5 — Versão anterior melhor

*2023-09-24*

As imagens de planetas pelas fases da versão anterior eram melhores.

### 2/5 — Not Arkanoid

*2023-06-25*

Ooh, Arkanoid… but not. The classic arcade game was really responsive the challenge was to not overshoot, but here it's soooo sloooow. Beyond that, some things don't work the same (like the collisions with the flying polygons). Also, some things work poorly, such as the laser not firing automatically but needing a separate tap that is waaaay too slow and messes with the bad movement. Speaking of witch, I'm finding it hard to not obstruct the view, but that may just be the problem with the platform.

### 1/5 — Very hard start

*2023-06-22*

My children (& me) deleted this game after they played 3-4 times after they couldn’t even pass first stage, one of my children passed the first stage and after he lost in the second stage the game was back To first stage! He was so frustrated the he deleted it!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-06-21*

Controls are bad af. Thats definitely not what you’re expecting

### 2/5 — Please remove randomness

*2023-03-05*

I like the game but i absolutely hate those things flying across the board so when the ball hits them it goes into a random direction. Makes no fun…

### 1/5 — Ill give 5 Stars on my 5 apple accounts for making a Sound on/off option!

*2023-02-19*

<3

### 1/5 — Steuerung ist Müll

*2023-02-14*

Wie kann man ein so simples Spiel soviel schlechter machen als der Gameboy in den 90er Jahren?

### 4/5 — Nice game, but need some adjustments

*2023-02-12*

I like the nice simple game, but it need some adjustments for me.

A small option / help menu with description of power ups and the ability to turn sound on/off.

Currently the sound is coupled with the iPhone hardware sound mute switch, but it should play sound independently of the switch state, like almost all games do with separate sound settings.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-02-10*

Great version of a classic!
