### 5/5 — Crazy fun bullet hell!

*2026-08-27, version 2.0.3*

Cool retro comic art style. Well balanced, responsive, love the controls. Just about prrfect imho.

### 5/5 — Nuked Newark 11/10

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.3*

Fun gameplay, good story, amazing art style.

### 5/5 — Flying Tank

*2026-06-08, version 2.0.3*

Just got the deluxe version last night and have already dumped a good 6 hours into it, after playing enough to 100% all of the free stages. If you’re curious if the game is worth buying after you’re done with the free stages, I’d have to say a resounding YES!!! As for the deluxe version… only if you want to support the developers. The extra ships are alright, they don’t break the game, but they do make it slightly easier, so I don’t play em. The extra 4k currency (5k instead of the 1k from a regular purchase) didn’t last but one upgrade cycle for one ship, and didn’t get that ship fully upgraded. So… yeah, only if you want to support the devs. Which I do. Because THANK YOU DEVS!!! —-a shmup fanatic.

### 1/5 — 操作性悪い

*2026-05-31*

自機が自由に動けないので敵の攻撃を避けられない。酷い仕様だな。

### 5/5 — Good game, but repair times 😔

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.3*

I love this game, it’s fun, takes skill, and the upgrades are awesome, I completely recommend buying the full game. Although, im not sure if im doing something wrong, but my strongest tank was destroyed, and it’s been so long without it being repaired. I can loose with one tank, and it’ll get repaired instead of my strongest, I’ve completed three entire missions without it being repaired, and it’s starting to irritate me since I can’t even play with it after completing every upgrade.

### 5/5 — Good!

*2026-04-26*

グラも綺麗だし面白い。
課金したぞよ！
あ、充電しながらやると落ちやすい気がします。

### 5/5 — Great game — already supports controllers

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.3*

To the developer, please mark your app as supporting controllers, because it does. Backbone’s won’t show your game in the gallery or allow users to add it to their library. Thanks!

### 3/5 — かなり面白い

*2026-03-31*

面白いし課金したいのに、そこそこの頻度でアプリが落ちる。
これさえ無くなれば…。
ちなみに最新のiPhone、買ったばかりのデバイスなのでアプリ側の問題です。

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-03-29*

Good thank you

### 5/5 — not accepting my review

*2026-03-08, version 2.0.3*

don’t know why it won’t let me submit a review
