Thank you for the positive review, it will go a long way in improving Blast! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad game *2018-02-04* Continued review the ai follows you around and as you reload the ai shoots faster **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you are not impressed with the AI. I would appreciate it if you could provide a more detailed description of what is wrong with it, so that I can work on improving it. ### 1/5 — Poor controls *2018-02-02* Guys, Swiping and dragging does not work. Why isn't this on a double stick control system? Movement is insanely slow so you can't even begin to fire before getting shot at. **Developer response:** I am aware that this is a major issue, and it is currently at the top of my to do list. However, I am an indie developer and currently my hands are quite full. I can assure you that this will be fixed in a future update. I was actually hoping to have it fixed for the initial release yesterday, but like I said, I just couldn't get around to it. ### 2/5 — Good Idea. Terrbile Mechanics *2018-02-02* The game has good ideas and a nice customization system. The controls however are very bad and could be made better in so many ways. Adding a joystick for each the movement of the tank and the other for the direction of shooting would make this game a 4 for me. Add some joysticks and I'll re-download. **Developer response:** Thanks for the constructive review and your interest in Blast! I have always wanted to create multiple control schemes, although unfortunately it's not that easy, especially for an indie developer. I am sorry that this was a game breaker for you, but you can be assured that I am working on this and you can expect to see multiple control schemes in a future update. Thanks Brandon ### 3/5 — Fantastic, but.... *2018-02-12* This game is fantastic. Truly a fun game to play, and it’s nice to have a game you don’t have to purchase game currency with real money to continue in. I love the layout and I can see the developer will continue to expand on the game itself as time goes on, however, there is a problem with the movement control registering. I have had so many moments where the movement controls don’t register on the ground for me to move my tank and I get shot down. After this issue is fixed, the game absolutely deserves 5 stars. ### 3/5 — It needs improvement *2018-02-02* I love that it isn’t ad lettered but the controls are hard to use and the difficulty spike is real I want to give this game I higher rating but I can’t until the controls are fixed **Developer response:** Thank you for the constructive review and your interest in Blast! I am aware that the controls are a major issue, and fixing them has been at the top of my to do list for a long time. However I am an indie developer an currently have a lot on my hands at the moment, I was actually hoping to have fixed this by the initial release today but unfortunately couldn't. You can expect to see this issue resolved in a future update. ### 3/5 — Awesome game and idea... *2018-02-02* This game has a great concept and is very.... fun(?). The game is almost unplayable because the movement controls are terrible. It never responds how you want it to. It doesn’t move when you clearly drag it to just move a little behind cover. Please fix this, and this game would be more than perfect! **Developer response:** Thank you for your constructive criticism an interest in Blast! I am sorry to hear that you are not really enjoying the game at the moment. I am aware that this is a major issue and it has been on the top of my to do list for a very long time, however it is not an easy fix. And please keep in mind that I am an indie developer and this is the first release so I am aware that the game has many imperfections, but I am working on fixing them as soon as possible. If everything goes well, you can expect to see a fix for this a future update! ### 4/5 — So many things wrong *2018-02-03* Yeah, I get it, this game just came out yesterday, but the amount of bugs and things wrong are unacceptable, the hitboxes on the tanks are so messed up you can’t shoot them if they’re anywhere within a tank-length, the movement system is completely broken, and the game is so horribly optimized that the battery in my 2017 iPad Pro drained to 10% from 100 in less than 2 hours with the brightness all the way down, in airplane mode, and no other apps open. But this game has a lot of potential, especially if they give you the option to change the movement system to a joystick and let you shoot while moving Edit: Changed my review to 4 stars because when I first posted this I was super salty, it’s really a great game, just needs a few kinks worked out, such as being able to shoot through walls and the movement system. I didn’t take into consideration all the work that went into this amazing looking game. Oh, and also you might want to change the amount of money you get after each level, I played level 30 maybe 10 times and unlocked pretty much every other upgrade I wanted. **Developer response:** Thank you for the constructive review and your interest in Blast! I have always planned on putting multiple control schemes in the game, however I couldn't get it done for the initial release. Unfortunately, it's actually a lot of work to do this, but you can definitely expect to see multiple control schemes in a future update. The games graphics quality changes per device, based on the info you have given me it appears that I may have set it to high for the 2017 iPad Pro. I will also look at fixing this in a future update. In the meantime you can enable power saving mode in the settings menu in the game. As for the bugs, please keep in mind that this was the first release and I am an indie developer. I am working on the game everyday, and hope to have them all resolved as soon as possible. Thanks Brandon ### 4/5 — Fun so far, but over all could use polish *2018-02-03* I'm having a lot of fun with this game so far, but I've noticed some clipping & text related bugs. **Developer response:** I am glad to hear! Please could you supply some more info on the bugs so that I can work on fixing them. ### 4/5 — Amazing game just needs fine tuning *2018-02-02* To start. Amazing game overall, but it has some... a lot of glitches to name a few a glitch where walls are intangible portals dont work bullets dont do damage cant move... etc But i really want a easier way to move and shoot. Like a joystick option. That said its a really cool game. 👍 **Developer response:** I am aware that there are many bugs at the moment, please keep in mind that this is the first release and that I am an indie developer. I have been planning on creating multiple control schemes. Unfortunately I couldn't have this feature in the first release due to time constraints and other complications. I will be working on fixes for both of these issues in future updates. ### 4/5 — 100/100 *2018-02-02* This game is amazing! The graphics are pretty good for a game that was released like 1 week ago. The only problem is it is a bit laggy and it is hard to get B. Other than that it is a great game! **Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review and your interest in Blast! It is always extremely rewarding as a developer to see that players are enjoying my games and appreciating the hard work that I put into it. I am always working on the game and you can expect to see improvements in future updates. Thanks Brandon ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty Neto game *2018-05-13* I really enjoy the games simple but complex design, I have had the game since the pre-order was up and then it released and I downloaded it right then and there. I struggled to think level 20 and thought oh that’s the end, but then I played the other 10 levels and completed it. I definitely enjoy the the ability to combine different upgrade paths like sniper barrel with rocket, or vise versa with quad and sniper bullets, I don’t enjoy the cluster upgrades. I completed all levels with 3 stars as well as getting every up grade now I am hoping for an update with more levels considering the game has been out for 3 months now. Plz update. But otherwise this is a really great game that I can definitely see a future for if the dev picks the right upgrade path for it, and doesn’t cluster it up. Plz don’t turn this really good mobile indie game into a pay to play. Edit: I realize this game probably became dead because all of the other reviews except for mine I guess are from February, and the most recent one said February 15, good game I guess it’s not gonna get updated or anything considering nothing has happened since release. Second Edit: I hope the dev reads this but I doubt because it appears to be dead. Plz notice me ### 5/5 — Fun game/ great music *2018-02-16* Gameplay is good, sound design was impeccable 10/10 ### 5/5 — Thanks *2018-02-04* I thought there were no other good game that I could find and then I saw this on the App Store and tried it and it was great.Thank you for responding to me! Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** I really appreciate the positive review, thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-02-03* This game is good I know that there is a lot of bugs and the controls need work I understand that and how hard it is to make a game keep up the good work and I hope this game will succeed in the future 😎👍 **Developer response:** I hope so too, thanks for the support! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2018-02-03* Great graphics and all around fun game **Developer response:** Thank you for playing and for the review, it always gives me a great feeling when I hear that players are enjoying my games! ### 5/5 — Good potential *2018-02-03* The game design is good and all, my main problem with the game is the controls. I like the somewhat older graphics and the upgrading of the tank, but the controls are just so bad sometimes. I would prefer the control sticks on both sides, one for aiming/shooting, while the other is for driving. Good job on the game so far otherwise. **Developer response:** I am aware that this is a major issue sometimes. I am working on creating multiple control schemes and improving the tank movement. You can expect to see this in a future update. Thank you for the review. ### 5/5 — Woah *2018-02-03* This is really cool, it has in app stuff but it does not shove ads in your face. Really good. **Developer response:** Thank you for noticing! I made a point of not forcing any ads in my game, because I know that there's nothing that irritates players more than this. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2018-02-02* It's good stuff hey, congrats ### 5/5 — Hot Fire *2018-02-02* Very fun game! **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Has great potential *2018-02-02* I love the many garage options, I like complicated games like this, I just wish the gameplay was the same. (Make it more complicated) controls are a huge issue. I think a joystick would work a lot better for moving as for aiming...... I might prefer a joystick for that too, but it’s ok as long as we have a joystick for moving. I’m only on the second lvl sooo yea xD **Developer response:** I really appreciate your response and am very glad that you are enjoying the game! Since I first started working on this game, it has been a goal of mine to have multiple control schemes. However, I am an indie game developer (Meaning that working on this game has been very challenging for many reasons) and unfortunately haven't got around to this yet, but if things continue to go well with this game and I get the opportunity to do more work on it, then you can expect to see multiple control schemes in a future update! I am also very happy that players like you can appreciate all of the work that went into the upgrade system. Thank you so much for the constructive feedback. ~Brandon --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
