These ads and the supposed forced click “tactics” are the bottom of the barrel of humanity and the shame of our species ### 1/5 — Rip off *2018-04-27, version 1.4* Rip off ### 1/5 — Lost all my stuff. Twice. *2018-03-30* Twice I’ve lost all the ships that I’ve acquired through the game. The second time I had purchased all but the final one. I’m not restarting from nothing again. It was fun until a major let down occurred. **Developer response:** Hey Tim, First off, thank you for playing. This has been an awful bug that has just turned up recently. The most recent update addresses this issue. ### 1/5 — Crash *2018-02-18* 3 fondamental crashes : First extra bonus referring to an ad make a blank black screen impossible to way out except quit. Second you can buy as me updated ship that when you quit the game aren't recorded, so you will have to buy them again... Then settings as music off aren't recorded too. **Developer response:** Hello, and thanks for playing. These bugs are only happening for a small amount of users and will be rolling out an update soon! ### 1/5 — Doesn't open. *2018-02-17* It doesn't open but I do only have an iPad 4 **Developer response:** An update has been released that resolves this issue! ### 3/5 — Good but basic *2018-03-26* This is a fun game. But the app itself is very basic. I keep buying ships and after a few days they're locked again, they don't come back even when refreshing purchases. Annoying. **Developer response:** Hey, sorry about this bug. The next update addresses this issue. Thanks for playing! ### 3/5 — Ganz nett - für ein paar Minuten *2018-02-19* Man fühlt sich stark in die 80er zurückversetzt. Zu Beginn ist es ganz ok, der Kauf des ersten Raumschiffs noch interessant - jedoch wird die Freude durch die ständigen Werbeeinblendungen getrübt. Des Weiteren dauert es sehr lange, bis man entsprechende Münzen für das nächst beste Raumschiff gesammelt hat. Ich habe es wieder gelöscht! **Developer response:** Hey, I'm sorry you deleted the game. I've gathered some great feedback from the community, and have some great ideas for the next patch. Even though you have deleted the game, I do appreciate you playing it while you did and your feedback. All the best. ### 4/5 — Sheilds *2019-02-21* Sheilds should last until you get hit one or two times. Great game otherwise. ### 4/5 — Keep trying to get a higher score! *2018-03-02* The game is okay. I give it 4 stars because you just wanna keep playing and get as far in the game as possible but when you die you get mad and keep replaying. I hate dying in games!!! It’s a cool game wish there was like an extra life before you died or hit a wall. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for playing. I have included an option to watch an ad for an extra life! I don't want to make the game too easy! A new update is coming out soon. Good luck. ### 5/5 — Great game, great price *2023-10-19* Perfect for when you have a few minutes on a break. I immediately paid the fair price to remove ads and support the developer. Lots of fun, a perfect arcade game! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you for your games *2021-01-01* This is a fun game by you and ur TikTok is why I have ur games. ### 5/5 — I take it back. *2019-02-12* This is better than Bitnoid!! I played this for five minutes and I already know I'm gonna be addicted!! 😍😍 ### 5/5 — Excellent. Bravo. 😉😉 *2018-03-17* Tout y est... Le fun, les réflexes, le style arcade / pixels... sur une musique... Synthé Disco Fever Dance Flex Flash Night... 🤣🤣😂... Sérieux, excellent. Une petite pépite à posséder dans ses app. Et vive les années ‘80... tant qu’j’y suis... 😏😏Un grand merci au Dév. 😉 ... Juste un ptit truc, depuis la maj... j’ai perdu mon vaisseau à 2000 pièces... Borf, y a plus grave, mais si jamais vous lisez ça, merci de me le refiler. C’est pas ça qui m’empêchera de jouer de toutes façons. 😉 Bien vu les nouveaux blocs sinon... vous avez l’occas de pouvoir amener beaucoup de nouvelles choses avec ce concept... c’est vraiment cool. J’vous suis en tous cas. Merci beaucoup. ### 5/5 — Cmnd/ctrl *2018-03-10* Fun game. What I like the most is the Retro look and Style. It’s for all ages. Just love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing and Addictive *2018-02-19* This game is amazing, I can't stop playing it... be careful it's addictive!!! ### 5/5 — DECENT *2018-02-18* Retro and keeps the kids busy for hours lol. Would like the option to buy coins though. Please fix and I’ll rate 5! **Developer response:** Planning to roll out a shop in a later update. Stay tuned and thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2018-02-18* I think this is an awesome game and y’all should definitely download 😁 ### 5/5 — excellent *2018-02-17* ce jeu est un bon "casual" qui mérite le détour. difficulté équilibrée, on aime y revenir. j'aurais préféré une app payante Premium, mais bon.... bravo au dev! ### 5/5 — Back to the Future *2018-02-15* Brings back memories from the earlier days of gaming with PC and key boards. Got a great feel to it. Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
