Je recommande vraiment ### 2/5 — No vol & glitches *2023-10-05, version 1.7.3* The music and sound doesn’t work, even with iPad and game settings set to max. Was really excited to dive back into a childhood favorite but looks like I’m just out $2 :/ ### 4/5 — 無料だったら文句なしだったんだけど… *2023-04-23* ゲーム自体はとても面白いです。 ただ、少し操作性が悪く、馬のボスが倒しづらいです。 あと、なんで有料にしちゃったの… 正直、このボリュームで1と同じ値段はちょっと納得いかないなあ。 あと、ARのやり方がよく分からん。 ### 4/5 — Back-bone use *2022-12-13, version 1.7.3* Could you add backbone controller to work with the game ### 3/5 — sadness *2022-07-11, version 1.7.3* back when I was a child I’d always want to come home from school because of one of your apps called Battle Bears -1 that was the app that I loved the most but now that I am 14 I suddenly remembered it and wanted to play it again but then I realized that I can’t play it anymore which made me very sad please bring it back. and I am so sorry if my grammar wasn’t good ### 3/5 — Great game, lacking support for newer hardware *2020-05-06, version 1.7.3* This is a great game by iPhone standards, offers much more than your average one button iPhone game, but the thing that's holding me back from giving this a 4 or 5 star is the age. Battle Bears Zombies was awesome back then on the iPod Touch, but on an iPhone X the image is stretched, the resolution is bad, the sound (for me) doesn't work unless you wear earbuds or airpods, cutscenes sometimes take a second and glitch in between movie and game for a bit, unskippable cutscenes even if you've beaten the game or have seen them already, the fog that made the last level cool is completely gone, and I'm like 50% sure that they removed the option to view cutscenes after you've beaten the game. If you can look past the age of this game, it's a fantastic game for your phone. ### 4/5 — Great, Fun *2020-04-11, version 1.7.3* Addicting game from my childhood, downloading now :) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-04-07, version 1.7.3* Thank you so much Ben and SkyVu for everything,I have made so many great memories with these games and they mean a lot to me, so thank you, and keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Please *2020-03-29, version 1.7.3* put zero and -1 back on iTunes please ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2020-03-24, version 1.7.3* I thought I would never see this game again, thank you for bringing a relic of my childhood back. I have been playing Battle Bears since this game was released and I’m excited to see what you guys will do next. I am hoping that one day you guys will update BB-1 so that we can play and enjoy it again. Thank you for your work and for the memories! ### 5/5 — WORTH IT FOR PLAYING *2020-02-08, version 1.7.3* They made the pony boss to hard but idc I’m still on pony boss air craft thing BUT ITS TOTALLY FREE THATS WHAT I LOVE ### 5/5 — Y *2019-12-02, version 1.7.3* I love Battle bears what I want to Play the other Games in the Siri ### 2/5 — Stage 3 boss is hard *2019-11-21, version 1.7.3* I keep trying but it’s too hard I needs nerfing ### 5/5 — So worth it! *2019-11-02, version 1.7.3* Before all the praise, one request.

You guys know what you're doing. 👍👍👍 This is a must play/experience cant tell ya how great n wouldn't want spoil it.

They are very much worth every penny! ### 4/5 — AR mode *2019-01-14, version 1.7.3* Crashed after 20 minutes. ### 5/5 — Questions *2018-11-14, version 1.7.3* Love this game. But here is the question. When do you think you will update the other games to iOS 11? Also will you? ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2018-11-03, version 1.7.3* Its a beautiful game with great characters, and an amazing story. Though the best one that was made was battle bear fortress- which disappoints me it was canceled, like every other from the series. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bring back the old one *2018-11-09, version 1.7.3* I personally HATE this type of game I’d rather play the original or bb -1 which was AMAZING ### 1/5 — Why *2018-08-14, version 1.7.3* I feel like I’ve been cheated on this game!!! Whats the point of making a cool ad and have a trash game like this?!? ### 1/5 — Please made a new Update to Battle Bears -1 and 0 *2018-07-20, version 1.7.3* I WANT A UPDATE......WE NEED IT.....! ### 1/5 — Trash *2018-05-14, version 1.7.3* WHY WOULD YOU ADVERTISE THIS AS AN AR GAME COMPATIBLE WITH IOS 7.0 AND ABOVE AND AN IPHONE 6 PLUS WHEN IT ONLY LETS ME PLAY IN GARBAGE GRAPHICS MODE. total bs, getting refund! ### 1/5 — Waste of my dollar! *2017-11-22, version 1.7.2* Will not work in AR mode, the only reason I purchased. Emailed developers days ago, no response. ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-01-29, version 1.6.7* The bosses have unblockable attacks making the harder difficulty impossible and enemies spawn off screen to step in and hit you ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-01-28, version 1.6.7* I honestly wish I never bought this, but what's done is done. I just have to try and salvage this loss and look ahead to the future. ### 1/5 — Disapointed *2013-10-14, version 1.6.7* One minute I got the game it is horrible It is trash like dirt ### 1/5 — sehr schlecht *2013-05-17* schade das man nicht 0 sterne geben kann sonst würde ich es machen!!! ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2012-12-28* Nicht gut ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best mobile franchise in history *2026-08-20, version 1.7.3* Love all your work Benjamin, animating my favourite childhood movie and creating this work of art. You’re simply amazing ### 5/5 — Ahhhhhhhhhh battle bears *2024-07-16, version 1.7.3* This game was amazing……..AND IT STILL IS! ### 5/5 — Simply Amazing! *2024-05-19, version 1.7.3* So glad I wrote down the name of this game to redownload years prior. I didn’t have the storage space back then but I do now and this game was so fun! Third thumb joke caught me off guard 🤔 I can tell it took a long time to make and was very refreshing to find a mobile game so different from modern trash. Only features I think are missing is a level select and a sensitivity slider. I was misled playing the AR mode first, that’s for sure 😆 Also encountered plenty of gameplay bugs but no softlocking so it didn’t bother me. You should’ve included a theater so I could watch all the game over cutscenes I missed! Because trust me, I’m a pro gamer 🤓 The wolf was definitely the best looking, had to retry a couple times because the gun wouldn’t fire but he sure looked cool! Loved the concept art and it makes me wish the building backdrop was included. I can’t believe you even made a Battle Bear song 😆 Fantastic. Wish this game was more popular so more people could experience the sheer amount of work put into this game. Thanks for making it, very fun experience 🙏 ### 5/5 — Just as good as when I played it as a kid *2023-04-06, version 1.7.3* I’ve been playing this game since I had my iPod 3. It’s still just as fun as it was back then. Would love a complete remake to have this game looking sexy! Please. ### 5/5 — Always have loved this game. *2021-07-28, version 1.7.3* I’ve been in love with this ever since I was a kid and have grown up and moved on just to come back to it and want more. I don’t have anything spectacular to say except that it’s fun, clever, and overall just enjoyable. I really wish that the other games were still available on the App Store especially Battle Bears -1. I hope that something is going on with the developers so they are working hard to bring us another classic experience in order for the whole fan base to enjoy again. ### 5/5 — Plz make ar for 7+ *2020-11-04, version 1.7.3* A developer could you make ar mode a little bit better by making it lower 7-11 plz cuz all I want is a good old fashion at zombie game of killer teddy bears! Plz plz plz plz plz ### 5/5 — Why can’t I get battle bears-1 on iOS anymore *2020-10-12, version 1.7.3* Why can’t I get battle bears -1 on iOS anymore ### 5/5 — Great classic mobile game! *2020-05-27, version 1.7.3* I remember playing this game when I was younger and as new apple products were getting released they got removed good to see this game is back up all we need is Battle bears -1 and battle bears zero and the set will be complete! ### 5/5 — Battle bears *2020-05-26, version 1.7.3* When I was a little kid using an iPhone 5s I accidentally came along this game and downloaded the beta version when it was free, that was 7 years ago I had lost my iPhone 5 due to a incident of me falling down the stairs ever since I forgot about the game and I’ve always had a slight memory of it it wasn’t until 7 years later four days ago I accidentally again stumbled upon this game I was shocked to see it still in the App Store and still exactly how I remembered it That day was the day a big chunk of my childhood came back, although my childhood hasn’t ended yet and I’m still in the early/late teens it’s still the best thing I could’ve asked for. ~ sincerely The annoying little kid in elementary school that went thru puberty and is now good looking and kinda annoying still. ### 5/5 — Game *2020-04-25, version 1.7.3* I love this game it’s awesome but the reason I wanted to add a review is because I want you guys to update bb -1 please it’s says I can download it but once you guys update it I can finally play it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
