### 5/5 — Excellent 1 tap arcade shooter needs some updated love from Umbrella

*2020-12-28, version 1.4.0*

I originally played Boom Dots when it came out back in 2015 and came back to it at the start of the pandemic through an old Game Center challenge (Thanks AKD!!)  One thing I love about BD is the pages of statistical analyses and the different leaderboards. It's the main thing that has kept me playing for months on end during Co-vid19's reign.  Being able to look at my perfect hits statistics or follow the average score leaderboard has been motivational and fun.  My favorite skin is the "bacteria" (somewhat appropriate given the current global situation).  I've done some serious climbing of the leaderboards, but one thing I have noticed are the obvious fake scores on the average score, and perfect hits leaderboards.  Devs:  if you are reading this, please wipe the top 8/9 scores on both of these boards.  Many have been clogging the top 10 of these leaderboards since 2015 and in fairness to players who play hard (without cheating) should be removed.  While I know this is an older Umbrella game, I would also love to see the 200 missions bug on the missions leaderboard resolved.  It would make crawling through the 200-300 mission zone more fun.  Another game wish would be a cumulative high score leaderboard, which would encourage players to play more of the skins and not settle into a favorite, like I have with "bacteria".  This might also make the "play 25 games with Star" type missions a little easier to adapt to.  Thanks and congrats on a fun, 1 tap, innovative arcade shooter!

### 5/5 — Rate

*2019-06-19, version 1.4.0*

Game khó vl :V

### 5/5 — Excellent jeu

*2018-07-20, version 1.3.6*

Un jeu léger, fluide, élégant, simple, avec une difficulté bien jaugée, des graphismes nets, évolutifs, épurés, colorés...
Gameplay facile a prendre en main, tout est bien pensé...
Seul amélioration qui me vient à l’esprit serait l’affichage, directement pendant la partie, de l’avancée de la mission en cours ... mais c’est un détail.
En résumé, belle réussite, toute en finesse et en simplicité, programmée intelligemment dans ses moindres détails, en anticipant à la perfection les attentes des utilisateurs,
Un grand bravo !

### 5/5 — Simple, fun game

*2017-11-05, version 1.3.6*

This game is simple and fun and well worth the 99 cents to remove the ads.  There is a bug with the missions completed leaderboard, after going above 200 missions it says not ranked :/ please fix this so 201-300 mission scores are ranked!

### 5/5 — So Simple, So Hard, So Fun

*2017-06-24, version 1.3.6*

This is a great little shooter game—one that is so simple to play and so challenging to master. What more need be said?

### 5/5 — Lieblingsspiel

*2017-05-15, version 1.3.6*

👌🏼👍🏼♥️

### 5/5 — Too darn addictive

*2017-02-03, version 1.3.6*

Considering all you do is shoot one dot to another, it is really amazing how addictive this game is, the missions spice things up as well as the stats, which give you impetus to 'have one more go'. The only annoying thing for me was that I only 'found' this game when apple had very 'kindly' put the prices up in the App Store, though saying that still very worth .99p

Really, really good and very addictive!

### 1/5 — Not fun and to hard

*2016-09-05, version 1.3.6*

I liked the game a little bit but it was way to hard for anyone to play. My friend even said it was torture!!(and I agree) I got the game and five minutes later I deleted it. So overall rating is: ITS HORRIBLE DONT GET IT

### 5/5 — 😀😀😀

*2016-09-01, version 1.3.6*

Superb games

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2016-08-13, version 1.3.6*

I spend hours trying to beat my high score! An addicting game is a great game!
