### 5/5 — Nostalgic but bugged

*2026-07-05, version 4.0.0*

I remember this game fondly and had been looking for it forever to come back to IOS. Downloaded it and booted it up and tried out my favorite boss battle mission (pacific war) and was able to get through with no problem untill the second bomber spawns in. For some reason the bomber moves so far up the screen you aren’t able to destroy the top turret to down the aircraft and move to the next. Other than that I have no idea what else is bugged on the mission since I’m never able to get past the second bomber. Hope this gets the attention of someone able to make a few minor tweaks to repair it.

### 5/5 — amazing game

*2025-12-29, version 4.0.0*

it’s December 2025 close to the new years going to 2026 and I was up all night searching for this game this game will always be amazing and nostalgic

### 5/5 — The memories…

*2025-12-13, version 4.0.0*

I’m a kid again because I used to play this regularly and to find it still on the App Store is incredible🤣

### 2/5 — Na jaaa😃

*2025-12-05*

So la la. Am Anfang ist das Spiel interessant, aber in 20 Minuten… na ja, Bossfights sind okay, neue Orte auch, aber 0,99€ ist der maximale Preis.

### 5/5 — Pure fun just with a few bugs

*2025-03-23, version 4.0.0*

It’s everything I remember as a kid, really fun little side scrolling shooter. Lots of fun little mini games and stuff too

That being said, the boss battles don’t record high scores after exiting them, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get the third star in Cyborg City. 

And game center doesn’t work for the app although my game center seems to work for other apps

Please fix <3

### 5/5 — Serious Nostalgia!

*2025-02-03, version 4.0.0*

Man oh man! I can't believe my eyes! 

Last time I played this game, I was 6-7 years old, playing on my mother's iPhone 4.  I couldn't wait to come home from school and play this game. I was so bummed out when this game dissappeared one day.

I'm now 19. I have a job and responsibilities...
But that doesn't mean I can't come home from work and shoot a couple bad guys like old times, does it??

Thank you for bringing this game back!

### 5/5 — A great game

*2025-01-21, version 4.0.0*

Reminds me of when I was a kid, I was around 6 when I would play this on my dads phone, just stumbled upon it right now and bought it with no hesitation,

### 5/5 — Thank u xx

*2025-01-08, version 4.0.0*

Whoever made the decision to bring this back, I love you ❤️

### 4/5 — Great classic

*2025-01-07, version 4.0.0*

This isn't COD.  This is a basic side scrolling, "Run N Gun" stick shooter.  Play the tutorial,  if you don't like the controls, exit the level and change in options.  The 90s kids who grew up with the stick man games will love this,  "new agers" may have differing opinions,  but the game is "classic" good.

### 5/5 — Jem of a game

*2024-12-19, version 4.0.0*

i remember playing this on my kindle when i was about 6 or 7, and i got flooded with nostalgia when i saw this on the appstore a few months ago. I started playing this in august and i enjoy this game a lot
