### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2018-11-03*

Crashes every time I open it

**Developer response:** Hi!
This new version is working well. Sorry about that. Cheers

### 1/5 — Lousy controls

*2018-01-07*

Terrible controls, which make the game virtually unplayable. You can only throw one shot at a time, and can’t fire another shot until it hits something of goes off screen. However, six different enemies will fly on the screen at you, and there’s nothing you can do.

Oh.... and the ads. Dear god. Perpetual ads.

**Developer response:** Hi Mr. Masks!
I've updated controls as you said. It's far better. ;)
Cheers

### 1/5 — No way!

*2017-01-17*

Glad i didnt pay for this. Definitely not worth a dollar.

**Developer response:** I'm sad to heard that :( How can I improve it ?

### 3/5 — Eh

*2019-04-10*

It’s ok I enjoy it but there should be a easy normal hard mode button seems like it’s set permenatly on hard mode

**Developer response:** Hi!
It’s a good idea. 
Cheers

### 5/5 — Game review

*2024-10-12*

I really really like this game, good for concentration and keeps me happy

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-12-20*

I love the graphics, Link’s Awakening was my first childhood game, so this definitely brings me back :) I don’t see an option for in app purchase, but I would definitely pay a couple dollars to remove ads, and you know you could expand on it if you wanted, maybe add different maps, new powerups, new enemies, but perhaps its sheer simplicity is what makes it unique. Great game.

### 5/5 — Cute simple game

*2017-02-13*

I'm not really good at it though :(

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review ;)
