### 1/5 — Needs changes

*2019-04-17, version 1.2.7*

perspective needs to change, it looms “alright” from the screenshots, but in gameplay, it’s very hard to tell what row you’re in because id the perspective, just have the camera in the front, not to mention: it makes it look very cheap, as pip looks strange from the angle it’s in. the game also needs a graphical update, just loops plain old bad. the controls are also lagged, leading to stupid deaths.

### 1/5 — So hard it’s only pay to win

*2019-02-24, version 1.2.7*

I’d rather kill myself then play this for a day

### 5/5 — 😳😉

*2018-01-27, version 1.2.7*

### 2/5 — Uuuugggghh

*2017-09-16, version 1.2.7*

It a good concept but the controls are horrible it reads me going up sideways

### 3/5 — Fun, but those controls...

*2017-09-03, version 1.2.7*

Add an option for switch to swipe-only. Two at once don't work well. You might consider making entire screen an active controller.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2017-08-23, version 1.2.7*

The dev is too lazy (or greedy) to adequately describe what the items for (shield?) and I die needlessly. Too many ads for it to be fun.

### 1/5 — Don't bother !!

*2017-08-16, version 1.2.7*

Do not waste your time.  You will just delete it with all the games ads and lack of game time

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2017-07-24, version 1.2.7*

Gameplay is low quality. Makes you watch a video to save your progress! How cheap! Haha. Uninstalled.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-05-08, version 1.2.7*

I like this game because i use play with it when I am board and it is just really fun😆

### 5/5 — Fuuuun!!

*2017-05-08, version 1.2.7*

Love it!
