User reviews

Very nice.

A great choice for iOS 4.

What a farce

Wish I could give minus stars

Great game

Good game works for iPod 2g these days nothing works on 2g :/. I like it the idea of space invaders. Over all good game

Ehhh...

I sorta like it. The graphics are decent for a game like this and it's kind of fun.

My problems

1. In my opinion, it's way to hard to get stars. Where I was it was one star per enemy. And it's pretty hard to kill them. Ether make stars easier to get or make enemy's weaker.

2. The weapons cost to much. This kind of goes with the stars problem. Because it's to hard to get stars, it makes the weapons incredibly expensive. I did 5 runs and only god around 300 stars.

3. To many random things or tiles you can press. A this includes ads and also things that are supposed to be included. At the start I was confused at the start because there we so many random things.

I think this app has lots of things you can improve. But right now I wouldn't suggest it.
