In the past my phone has told me that this game may be slow because it hasn't been updated in so long. Now it's not going to work next time I update my iOS? So sad! I'm rating t a one star in hopes you see this review and do something about it and if I get an update then I'll change it to five stars. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2016-10-05* It's challenging once you get further in it, but it's really fun. Lv92 is impossible on any difficulty ### 4/5 — amazing game but needs improvements *2015-10-20* i love the game but you must make it harder and add more levels (since i beat it in a week) also it would be nice if you could add in a yellow team and make the boss a lot stronger since i beat him 5 minutes each time thank you ### 1/5 — S *2014-01-09* It doesn't work it beginning whit tutorial that never finish, and can't play. I have another version in my iPad that I love, but this doesn't work. Something is wrong. ### 4/5 — Great game *2013-09-28* Challenging. Creative. I play it a lot. BUT I don't get the levels that seem impossible to solve (like level 87). When two or more sections don't interact, how can one side be the victor? ### 3/5 — Great game, but frustrating! *2013-04-11* This may be my favorite game. I love it. Challenging, creative, always different. BUT it crashes so often I cannot give it 5 stars. It is incredibly frustrating to almost beat a level, only to have it all disappear before the last moves. PLEASE fix it. I'll rate it with 5+ stars when you do. ### 5/5 — Yes *2013-03-26* Great game, fun and challenging !! I want more content and levels!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Fun game but *2013-03-07* This is a fun game, but the crashes are very annoying. Fix the problem and you can have the other stars. ### 3/5 — Like the concept *2013-02-23* I enjoy the look and challenge of this game. Especially the new update. However since I did the update the app crashes frequently. ### 4/5 — Great Initial Effort! *2013-02-03* Very nice game, and not as hard as some other reviews imply. You just need a brain. Big problem in level 35 though. It is mathematically impossible to win that one without using a zillion boosts. There should always be a boost-free solution, however difficult. That one is quite literally impossible to win without given its setup. ## Frequently asked questions about Black Stars ### What is Black Stars? Black Stars is a real-time strategy game set in space.
