### 4/5 — Test

*2015-07-08, version 1.6.3*

Download perdana

### 3/5 — Fun but.....

*2014-07-22, version 1.6.3*

This game is fun but I don't want to keep on shooting peoples heads off add some bosses or add vehicles

### 2/5 — It was alrite

*2014-05-31, version 1.6.3*

It crashed the Internet on my ipod

### 2/5 — Boring

*2014-04-11, version 1.6.3*

Not enough weapons. Walked across the map just firing. If it weren't for the controls sticking and making the gun point down a lot I wouldn't have needed to do anything

### 3/5 — Desert slug Ver 1.6.3

*2014-03-14, version 1.6.3*

Nice game. But it time for update to optimized the screen size for iPhone 5 & 5S.

### 2/5 — Frustrating👺

*2013-05-08, version 1.6.3*

Too Many Glitches and unpredictable problems, or should i say thats the predictable part? Crashes, controls sticking or non-responsive at times.
Coulda' been a really cool game but Desert Slug belongs in the desert w/ a slug💀🔫.

### 2/5 — Fix this already!

*2013-02-27, version 1.6.3*

I had this on my iPod 1st gen when I was 9, I'm 14 now and this game still hasn't been fixed? I was on the last level, with all the guns and and invisible wall popped up right in front of the completion zone. Trinity interactive, stop making games that are loads of garbage, and make some difficult games.

### 3/5 — Neat, But Lacking

*2012-11-26, version 1.6.3*

Interesting game to play to pass time/for fun/etc. but gets a little boring and repetitive after a while. Game Center integration would also be great.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2012-10-09, version 1.6.2*

This game is a complete waste of time and memory on your device. The worst part of it is that you can only use one gun. It is a complete fake of metal slug. Thank you for you people who have actually taken your time to read this message it will be very helpful.

### 1/5 — Control problem

*2012-10-06, version 1.6.2*

The game is potentially good but the controls are really bad. It keeps shooting downwards. I've uninstalled this in effect.

### 1/5 — Apesta

*2012-10-03, version 1.6.2*

Un triste intento de copiar un clasico
creatividad - 0
graficos - 0
movilidad - 0

fue tan malo y monotono que nisiquiera deje suficiente tiempo para perder una vida

### 2/5 — Meh...

*2012-10-02, version 1.6.2*

Nothing like Metal Slug! Boring and easy. Beat entire game in 13min. Only 5 levels. Gave 2 stars cuz it's free and did not crash on load

### 2/5 — แนว

*2012-10-01, version 1.6.2*

ก็Okยู

### 2/5 — Crap

*2012-10-01, version 1.6.2*

This game is so boring I deleted it within 3m of game play I can't even jump without there being an invisible wall in front of me not worth your time

### 1/5 — Copia barata

*2015-08-20, version 1.6.3*

Una mala copia de metal slug

### 1/5 — Totally broken controls

*2014-09-26, version 1.6.3*

This used to be a decent game, but somewhere along the line they decided to destroy the controls and leave it like that. Now you'll shoot the ground or backwards, you have very little control over your aim, making the game nigh unplayable.

### 1/5 — Mala

### 5/5 — EPICNESS

*2012-06-10, version 1.6.1*

This is one of my favorite games now

### 5/5 — Amazing but...

*2012-04-03, version 1.6.1*

This game is amazing...
But...
We need the ability to turn off the auto gun switch and we need to be able to customize our character....
With these changes, the game would be one of the best on the market.

### 5/5 — Actually very fun

*2012-02-17, version 1.6.1*

Make a white character and make it so every time u run over a gun you don't switch Guns that's so annoying
