### 4/5 — Downloads

*2023-05-04*

You need more people to play this game, honestly the tutorial itself was great I would really love to play the game

### 4/5 — Needs more people and updating good games

*2022-05-24, version 1.2.1*

I tried to play the game and it would never load. It always says, “Failed to Connect to Server.” I hope more people play the game, but for now I’m deleting it.
   You should also update the games that only work on iPhone 4 or 5 so they work with the iPhones past 4 and 5. They look like great games, and I would really like to play them!
   Have a good day!

### 3/5 — High Quality but it’s basically unplayable

*2022-04-18, version 1.2.1*

The game and its mechanics are spot on but the amount of times I have to wait for a server with bots is unbearable. Just make a cpu mode. But the bigger problem is just the flat out unplayable game with its “unable to connect to server” error. I like the game and if there’s any way to fix this I’ll be satisfied.

### 3/5 — Half the time can’t connect

*2021-06-04, version 1.2.1*

Frequently “unable to connect to server”

### 1/5 — Unable to connect to server

*2021-05-13, version 1.2.1*

Downloaded the game and after the intro tutorial I wasn’t able to play 1 game. Restarted the app twice and tried 3 times to start a match and wasn’t connected to server. If the server was down fine, but terrible experience.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2021-03-01, version 1.2.1*

This game is quite enjoyable. The only problem is that it’s 17+. I can see how it could be 12+ but there’s just cartoon violence. There’s nothing very mature in the game. Since it’s 17+ I can’t play with some of my younger friends.

### 1/5 — wow

*2021-01-28, version 1.2.1*

i pay the 5$ or whatever it is a month and i don’t get my rewards🥲

### 2/5 — Amazing game, awful servers

*2021-01-12, version 1.2.1*

Countersnipe is really fun but only if you can find a match which you cannot do because the player base is empty and their servers are dead. It’s very sad this game died so quickly as it is a really cool concept and fun game

### 4/5 — Fun but janky

*2020-10-16, version 1.2.1*

This game has unique core gameplay, good art, and satisfying progression. The servers seem slow though because it always takes me over a minute of loading to get into a match even on strong internet and I’ve run into a couple instances of shooting somebody only to find that the entire game froze and I’m left in an essentially empty match. If you’re a patient person, I highly recommend this game.

### 1/5 — Not connected to the network

*2020-06-30, version 1.2.1*

The app can not connect to the server.
