### 1/5 — iPhone 11

*2023-04-02, version 1.0.3*

Good game but still could have a lot more of improvement anyway I love the game could be even play offline so thank you developers.

### 1/5 — Privacy Concerns

*2021-02-23, version 1.0.3*

Haven’t played the game yet but the app said it wanted access to my video, Apple Music and my media player. If a kid downloaded this app they wouldn’t read the message and just hit accept this is literally the most predatory app I’ve seen in the sense that it wanted access to all of the above. This might need to be reported to apple because of this. If your reading this and it happened to you please consider doing so.

### 1/5 — Mies

*2020-08-18*

Unspielbar

### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads

*2019-12-30, version 1.0.3*

About every 30 seconds you get an ad..even right in the middle of game play. Make your money devs.. no probleemo.. but at least make the game somewhat playable without disabling the ads. Come on.. I’ve played probably a thousand different games and you get the add “ crown” for being the most unplayable game without disabling the ads. Congratulations. Delete. Move on. Sad because the game had potential but is so add driven it’s unplayable. Thanks
Just played it again.. no joke.. less than 30 seconds of play (3 ads). E R A S E

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2016-01-06, version 1.0.3*

Can't even start the game only get a black screen would love to play this try the other one no luck either 
iPhone 4s 8.3v

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone se

*2021-11-02, version 1.0.3*

I am unable to exit the in game menu without exiting to the main menu, which means I lose any progress.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2018-02-22, version 1.0.3*

Meh

### 2/5 — potential but missing a fair bit

*2016-09-26, version 1.0.3*

the game starts out as very enjoyable but when leveling opportunities run out quickly and then your faced with massive hordes of enemies with a gun that does next to no damage against grunts and theres no real effective way of blocking so then it soon becomes like attempting a really tough rated level on borderlands its just a case of dying until you reach each checkpoint, Now actually leaving enemies actually dead would be good too so you didnt have to waste more ammunition between checkpoints which is incredibly limited even though most loot chests yield ammo and as so far it seems to be  only pistol ammo. Lastly the inventory is pathetic even when its updated. So in summation it needs a heck of a lot of work but its not bad for a side scroller

### 2/5 — Aufdringliche Werbung

*2016-04-05*

Macht eigentlich keinen schlechten Eindruck. Leider durch Werbung unspielbar. Sobald man auf einen Gegner trifft ist die Werbung da, wenn man diese weggeklickt hat ist man tot...
Gelöscht !

### 3/5 — Seems fine

*2021-01-06, version 1.0.3*

They asked me to rate it after only 15 minutes or so of play.  They offered me in game credit. Seems fine I guess, but only 3 stars because I’ve only briefly played.
