### 1/5 — Level 1-11 not possible to complete with mobile controls

*2026-08-06, version 74*

Level 1-11 requires you to flip the cube and quickly shoot down to go upwards (after the bonus level key, with the pit, enemy, two flip switches, and torches). I’m not sure if the game doesn’t allow you to buffer your inputs (seems like it sometimes can), or the timing is insanely strict (also doubtful), but this section does not appear to be possible at all on my device (IPhone 16 Pro)?? Please fix this issue. I was really enjoying the game up until this point, and I’m a little let down that I can’t play the rest of it anymore because of this bug/oversight.

### 5/5 — Gunbrick is top

*2024-12-23*

Игра просто высший класс 👍🏽 Графика, музыка, управление отличные ловушки головоломки и оригинальные боссфайтинги. Советую всем кто еще не играл. Этот шедевр стоит каждого потраченного рубля (₽). Разработчикам из nitrome низкий поклон.

### 5/5 — Eins der besten Spiele aller Zeiten

### 1/5 — Easily the worst nitrome game ever created

*2019-10-08, version 1.5*

That’s it and it’s expensive

### 5/5 — Revisit

*2019-07-16, version 1.5*

Revisited this. It’s really really good. Puzzles, action, charm, thought.

Initially when I first got it there was an incredible lag in loading which has gone and was most probably something to do with my devices.

It’s a real joy and a challenging but enjoyable time waster.

### 4/5 — 실수로 구입했는데 어떻게 취소하나요?
