Because of this if there is a asteroid on top and you try shooting it you can’t, it will just lock on to the glitched location where the rest are stuck, I have only encountered this twice and it has been in the same or close to same spot each time making me die once but I was only at 164 so it wasn’t that big if a deal. I will rate this 5 star when it is fixed but I’ll leave it at 4 star for now. ### 4/5 — Suggestion + buff Machine Pulse or nerf Photon Beam *2019-03-14, version 2.1.1* How about a leaderboard for scores before medal bonuses are applied, because it just seems a bit unfair that if two players destroy the same amount of asteroids, the player with more medals scores more and is therefore higher up on the leaderboard. Also, Photon Beam is obviously better than Machine Pulse. ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-11-18, version 2.1.1* It’s a very fun game it’s challenging but still some how good! ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-09-14, version 1.2.2* Fun! Hard to control sometimes...finger gets in the way! Otherwise - I enjoy it very much. ### 5/5 — Very well made and addictive!!!! *2017-09-10, version 1.2.2* Awesome ### 5/5 — Great *2017-09-09, version 1.2.2* Really Nice and addictive game. ### 5/5 — It's awesome *2017-07-13, version 1.1* Its awesome ### 5/5 — Arcade Action! *2017-05-02, version 1.1* This is a very fun arcade game: it a modern reimagining of Tempest and Asteroids! ### 4/5 — Amazing for spending time *2017-04-10, version 1.1* The game idea is simple, yet all the upgrade breaks up the normal gameplay. I just hope there will be more upgrade, since that was what really drives me to play game game. After getting all the upgrades, it just feels like grinding. I would also like something like daily challenge or mini games. So I have a reason to come back other than to just play the game. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-02-02, version 1.1* Really fun and entertaining! ### 4/5 — Fun and Addictive *2017-01-26* It's great for people who are waiting for something and have little to no Mobile Data left and can become quite addictive so be careful. :) ### 5/5 — Dank *2017-01-25, version 1.1* In the bank ### 5/5 — Best...game...ever...period *2017-01-24, version 1.1* Always play this game it's the best ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-01-24, version 1.1* This is a well developed challenging came-- great way to not focus on work ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-01-23, version 1.1* The Bees knees ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-01-23, version 1.1* It's pretty good, but can you add a new control scheme, since when you go to the top half of the circle, you thumb obstructs the view just a bit... Thanks! ### 5/5 — Extremely Addictive *2017-01-22, version 1.1* Very well thought out, with awesome music and a great concept on how you play the game. You'll definitely be back for more! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 秒卸载程序 *2016-09-25, version 1.0.5* 手指在屏幕上画圈，控制射击的时候，手指遮挡画面严重，很影响，似乎没有什么好的解决办法。 ### 1/5 — Cheap knockoff *2016-09-10, version 1.0.5* Ripoff of a better game: Vectradius. Do yourself a favor and play the real deal, not this wannabe. ### 1/5 — Might have potential *2016-09-08, version 1.0.4* But when trying to introduce someone to how your game works, and to get them interested in playing, don't throw 30 second ads in front of the user on Level 1. It inhibits learning the game and is frustrating. ### 2/5 — Okay idea *2017-01-22, version 1.1* Not that fun really. Too much camera shake. Annoying sounds. Nothing making me want to come back to it. Also high scores appear to be bugged. ### 2/5 — Hard to see. Bad controls. *2016-09-16, version 1.0.5* This game is ok. Would be better if it had better controls. It requires you to move your finger back and forth over the screen, which results in blocking the screen. Frustrating for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. ### 3/5 — Design causes us to get in our own way *2017-09-25, version 1.2.2* The design of the gameplay is such that we get in our own way. ### 3/5 — Good but Awkward Controls *2017-03-07, version 1.1* Whether using my thumb or my index finger, my hand always gets in the way when rotating around the top of the screen. No fun. ### 3/5 — Hello *2016-09-09, version 1.0.5* Your game Will be more better , more fun, with controller left and right down The screen ### 3/5 — Three Stars *2016-09-06, version 1.0.4* It runs and it doesn't crash. :-) Music is loud. :/ Can't find a volume control. :( ### 3/5 — Some people will probably enjoy *2016-09-05, version 1.0.4* It's hard not to get your own fingers in the way while controlling , but you can kind of work around that. The continuous bombardment of ads is extra annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-08, version 2.4.2* Works great with apple pencil ### 5/5 — Love and pain *2022-04-25, version 2.4.0* I love playing h thx is game but when I started I got a big headache for no reason I played until I died and left what I had what’s hallucinations of the game but still fun game to play!!?!?!!!!! ### 5/5 — Correction needed *2020-09-01, version 2.3.4* To game developer: in your description of this game you’ve chosen to use “challenge your reflexes” as a descriptor; however, that’s actually incorrect to say. Reflexes: are an involuntary response the body uses to avoid danger (hand + hot metal = burn...) receptors are triggered which send signals via a sensory neuron to your spinal cord and passed on to a motor neuron which triggers a muscle or gland to be stimulated. By bypassing the brain, signals being sent through the body are sent and received far quicker. The brain takes time to process and determine a response/outcome. What you’re looking for is: reaction time. Reaction time is a conscious decision. They are slower than reflexes, but unlike reflexes, reaction times can be improved with practice. *to a certain extent, within reason. A more suitable line would be: Test your awareness and reaction time. Probably wouldn’t hurt to include that repeated play can significantly improve skill. Awareness is linked with reaction time: they aren’t the same, but they can be improved. ### 5/5 — Very good game *2020-06-21, version 2.3.4* Very good game ### 5/5 — Good *2020-03-19, version 2.3.4* Hard game but fun.

GREAT WORK ON THE GAME! sorry caps 😂 ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-09-11, version 2.3.0* Very well made game. Challenging, but fun. Hope to see more Big Frost games in the future. ### 5/5 — Cool and challenging *2019-02-26, version 2.1.1* I have been looking for a hard game to play and this is the one I think so far ### 5/5 — Fun!! Hard to control *2019-01-08, version 2.1.1* Fun!! Hard to control --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
