Then they added game club ads and now the game just makes me sad when I open it. Sure somebody is always going to try and capitalize off anything of quality by shilling junk at you; but this game was beautiful, and the ads feel like billboards slapped up in a national park. ### 3/5 — Glork? *2016-12-29* The game is a spectacular play, when it's playable. I recommend playing it on a pc rather than the app. The app continues to freeze and not save my progress which is found frustrating and dampening the enjoyment of the game. ### 5/5 — Love this game but;-( *2015-12-01* I can open on my I pad, but not on my I pod any ideas how to keep this from crashing when trying to play on my iPod thanks love this game! ### 5/5 — Oodles of fun! *2015-11-24* I've been playing this game for a long time. I'll never delete it. It's nostalgic. It's witty. It's unbeatable! I have neglected many, many hours or work with beautiful ease. I never leave reviews, and I almost never keep anything I download for longer than I have kept The Trials of Glork... Or whatever this is called. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2015-11-20* And you will too! ### 5/5 — Glorkian Warrior *2015-11-11* This is a great Space Invaders/Galaxian game! The variety of weapons and enemies keeps the game fresh. The humor is wonderful. The cartoony graphics go good with the humor. The controls are tight (much appreciated on a game like this). Good "arcade days" game. Thanks for the memories. ### 5/5 — iOS Arcade Perfection! *2015-09-14* This is in my top three all-time favorites. ### 3/5 — Where's the in game sound settings? *2015-06-04, version 1.2.0* Pros: good time waster. cons: No in game mute opinion witch is very annoying ### 3/5 — Average game *2015-05-30* Cartoon graphics are cute. Gameplay is not very interesting though compared to solid Shumps. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2015-05-10* The game is so much fun to play, I personally recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great, fun little game. *2015-05-08* Really enjoying this Pixeljam gem. No loading screens, no ads, no microtransactions, just an immensely solid and fun game. With responsive and precise controls, which isn't something you can say about most iPhone games. Can't recommend it enough, definitely worth your time and money. ### 5/5 — Holy hot-pants! It's even better! *2015-05-08* Better looking lasers?! Better head bopping action?! The goofiest darn game I've ever played! Holy guacamole! ### 4/5 — Fun and silly *2015-03-26, version 1.1.0* Runs perfectly well on my iPad 2, great for a quick hit of some silly fun. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2015-03-15, version 1.1.0* Incredibly addictive. Funny. Super playable. Get it! ### 5/5 — Pure joy! *2015-03-12, version 1.1.0* Awesome game! ### 5/5 — Beat game evah! *2015-01-08, version 1.1.0* This game is da best:] I would totally recommend this app! It is so addicting!!:-] ### 4/5 — Great game... some update issues... *2015-01-03, version 1.1.0* Perfect retro shooter... GREAT art assets (not just lazy pixel art). Just getting some serious slowdown when lots of enemies are present and the comic book achievement items won't load and crash the game. A bummer as those were real draws... Only reason I'm knocking this down a star. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2014-11-29, version 1.1.0* Polished, fun, and addictive! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy -- Not Fair! *2017-09-07* Guys, there's some serious controller issues with this game! No matter which control option I select, there inevitably seems to be a moment when the game goes haywire, sending Glork running or jumping of his own accord, ignoring my futile screen taps while he throws himself into alien fire. At first I thought it might be a hardware problem. But I've upgraded my phone a couple of times by now and the problems have persisted. This is not fair! Now look, I'm interested in my high score, here. Like the arcade classics this game evokes, pride is on the line. Currently, I'm ranked #64 on the Ace Leaderboard. I always play Ace, the most difficult setting. I believe in a hearty challenge, hard-won victories and fair play. These control bugs must be fixed or else the game's fairness and credibility will be in question. This (or any) game's only true asset, integrity, is on the line, too. Why, I was at Comic-Con only a year or two ago when I heard rumors that hackers had some how gamed Glork and set themselves atop the leaderboards with absurd high scores. If true, I've thus far chosen to believe that these issues have by now been long rectified. However, Glork's spazzing out and sabotaging my play almost every single session betrays at least some weakness in the design of its current iteration. Now I'm not sure I know what to believe. Glork is a great game. Please fix it. Fix it fast and fix it well. Fix it. Please. And thank you. Yours truly, Len Kody Ace Glorkian Warrior #64 in the World ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-05-24, version 1.0.3* App does not work since latest update. I hate to rate it one star but I can't give it anything more if it doesn't open. Please fix. -iPad Air ### 1/5 — I wasted my last bit of money *2014-04-05, version 1.0.2* I get ready to play the game at the home screen and then it immediately turns off once I go into it. Please fix this and then I will enjoy much more! ### 1/5 — Crash problem *2014-04-05, version 1.0.2* This app works perfectly on my sister's iPad mini, but on my iPod touch I haven't been able to play. It goes to the loading screen and then crashes. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-03-24, version 1.0.1* Crashes... Waste of 2.99 on an Ipad retina iOS 7.... ### 1/5 — Frozen *2014-03-19, version 1.0.1* Frozen on the yes no title page :( have reinstalled twice ### 1/5 — Crashes from the start. *2014-03-14, version 1.0.1* I just get to see the loading screen whenever I start the app. I have an Ipod 5 so I dont why this happens. ### 2/5 — Great Design. Morbid Gameplay *2015-12-23* The characters, sounds and music are awesome. However, this game will subject you to an astonishing number of inescapable cheap shot deaths. If you like to be supremely frustrated, you'll like this game. ### 2/5 — Update resets progress! Beware!! *2014-10-15, version 1.0.5* I like this game a lot but the update reset my progress. I had already earned over 20000 credits. I doubt I'll play it anymore. ### 2/5 — The controls are dreadful! *2014-04-03, version 1.0.2* I can not remember the last time I paid for a game app. upfront and then tried it for the first time and enjoyed it, finding no problems with it, major or otherwise that renders it a waste of money! What a shame this is not the first in a long time and a long list! The problems with this app. that renders it a waste of money are the controls! The controls ruin a fun game and make it whatever the complete opposite of fun is! I must stop paying for games upfront ....I must stop paying for games upfront....I must stop paying for games upfront....I must stop.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Flashback ramped up! *2022-05-26, version 1.4.22* This really takes me back to my Atari childhood playing Space Invaders, etc. I found out about this game by accident when looking for more James Kochalka graphic novels for the kids in my school library. ### 5/5 — Glorkian Warrior *2020-07-27, version 1.4.13* A brilliant game - seems so simple, but there’s enough variety in the behaviour of the various alien invaders, power-ups, and attack patterns that honestly no two games are ever the same. And there’s also the lovely James Kochalka look to the whole thing. It’s just the best. Seriously addictive and great fun. ### 5/5 — Glorkian Warrior rules *2019-12-21, version 1.4.5* I love this game. Best 2D shooter ever. Music is great too. ### 5/5 — Lost all of my progress *2019-10-27* Getting a lot of pop-ups to join the new club thing even though I've already bought the game. I love this game so much... 6 stars ### 5/5 — Fun game! Yea 64 Bit!!! *2017-12-11* No IAP! No energy! The game has different control schemes and I've had no lag or crashes. Just a really fun game with lots of humor ! Definitely recommend! Thank you devs for updating the game to 64 bit!!!! This has always been one of my favorite IOS games!!! ### 5/5 — Best game ever. *2017-08-19* Seriously. ### 5/5 — Kochalka quality *2017-06-28* Big fan of both James Kochalka and PixelJam. This hand drawn pew-pew is a delight. Challenging, but absorbing, and packed with juicy unlocks. Play it! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2016-03-08, version 1.2.0* Love this one. Great gameplay and fantastic cartoony graphics. I'm hooked! Had this for ages -still come back to play it. ### 5/5 — Like popping everything in the candy aisle into your mouth at once *2016-02-29* It's like every classic arcade game combined into one chortling raucous fun game. I can't help grinning while I play. ### 5/5 — Great fun!! *2015-12-17* This game is great!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
