### 3/5 — Ok

*2013-11-26, version 1.401*

WAY TO HARD MAKE LEVEL 8 easier

### 3/5 — error

*2012-11-11, version 1.200*

In Iphone 4 IOS 6.0.1 at level 9 i get the "Director Class - Error, Failed to execute new ( params) function on 'src.screenGame'" error

### 3/5 — Great concept, could use some cleaning up...

*2012-11-05, version 1.200*

I want to love this game, but in three different places it has either crashed or an un-handled exception pop-up has prevented me from continuing. I cannot even play from level 9 on. I'm running iOS 6 on an iPhone 5, might be the new OS/hardware.

### 3/5 — Why??

*2012-09-22, version 1.000*

Crashes when I try it. Couldn't play. Plz fix.

### 4/5 — Fun Easy Game - But Frustrating lvl 11

*2011-12-01, version 1.000*

This is really a fun game. The controls are a bit weird at first but not complicated so you will catch on fast. The gameplay is good paced and doable.....until lvl 11. I have no idea how to pass it! The panning is not fast enough and you can't zoom out enough to see the whole board at the same time. If anyone has suggestions I'm open.

### 2/5 — Lousy instructions.  Panning is no fun.

*2011-11-27, version 1.000*

The instructions say use mouse + space bar, which aren't available.  Worse yet, the don't really get the point of the game across.  It turns out it is a Galacon style game with marines taking over a James Bond style fortress.

Nice graphics, sounds, and music,  BUT it makes you pan around to see all your bases.  It's impossible to send a swarm from your starter base to the right edge of the playfield.  On the first level, the enemies start offscreen and you really aren't given a clue what you're doing - note to devs: making the first level less wide might help a lot.

### 2/5 — Fun game with bad control

*2011-07-04, version 1.000*

Very fun to play on the easy levels. The control gets annoying once you need to multitask very quickly.

### 2/5 — Great Style Poor Control

*2011-05-23, version 1.000*

This game has a very unique style about it. About as unique as any other  silhouette styled game. The RTS style of play with more advance tactics is also really cool.

However it's clear that the proper steps weren't taken for this title. The instructions still read as it if were developed for a PC title and the controls are simply not intuitive for a touchscreen. All in all one of the worst iOS experiences I have had.

However it goes to say with the proper attention to detail Control Craft could be proper fun - but that is not the case as of right now.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-01-30, version 1.401*

No fun. Too slow. All it is: just dragging your finger from one spot to the next. Confusing as well. Time runs too fast and man runs too slow. Makes no sense. Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Update...

*2013-09-13, version 1.400*

Nice work; the new update doesn't load the game anymore. Just black screen.  When it did load, the iAd at the bottom never went away. Thought I paid so ads wouldn't be there...

### 1/5 — Way Too Hard

*2012-12-23, version 1.210*

Can't even pass level 3.  Either it's too hard or I'm terrible at games.

### 1/5 — Another no-loader......

*2012-07-05, version 1.000*

Installed three times to no avail.

### 1/5 — Instructions don't make any sense

*2011-11-30, version 1.000*

I really tried to play it and read the instructions but they say click, use ctrl, space, it's not a computer!!! Deleting it...

### 1/5 — What?

*2011-07-04, version 1.000*

This doesn't even make sense. The instructions do a horrible job of explaining.

### 1/5 — FAIL

*2011-07-04, version 1.000*

It's idiotic that's the best I can say.

### 1/5 — Meh not worth the money

*2011-06-13, version 1.000*

This game is pretty fun, BUT is not worth the 1.99 it should either be 0.99 or free. Preferably free, all in all this game is good. But do not buy until it goes down or if you don't feel the need to wait then buy it.

### 2/5 — it crashes before loading

*2012-07-09, version 1.000*

on ipad 3 wont get past the loading screen... it just crashes :(

### 2/5 — Buggy and hard to control

*2012-02-13, version 1.000*

I love the Flash version, so I had high hopes for this game, but it keeps freezing on me. Also, the control paradigm does not translate well to a touch interface on a phone-sized screen.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-12-26, version 1.210*

I've played it on PC a few years ago! :) Great game!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2011-11-25, version 1.000*

Not frustrating yet enjoyably challenging

### 5/5 — Sweet game

*2011-07-05, version 1.000*

It's really fun and challenging get it and support this app!

### 5/5 — good

*2011-07-04, version 1.000*

game

### 5/5 — Awesome fun

*2011-07-04, version 1.000*

I don't understand the mediocre reviews, I just got it and it's pretty rad. It's a lot like Galcon with marines rather than space ships. This game would be sweet with online Game Center support! Hint, hint! ;)

### 5/5 — Yay

*2011-07-03, version 1.000*

Good game

### 5/5 — FUN

*2011-05-25, version 1.000*

Good game

### 4/5 — Great game! One of my favorites. Level 16 impossible.

*2015-01-11, version 1.401*

I like this game above half of the other games available. When it comes to learning it just practice and you will get it. Level 16 was made so hard I think on purpose. If someone has beaten it I will be surprised!! Great game!!

### 4/5 — Very  fun and addicting

*2013-12-03, version 1.401*

I couldn't turn it away! But stuck on level 16, seems impossible to pass.

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2012-12-23, version 1.210*

They fixed the bug in level 9 that everyone keeps talking about.

 the only reason I gave this a 4 star is the A.I. Is pretty dumb, once you figure out their attack patterns it makes it very easy to win.

Overall solid game!
