### 3/5 — Bug on Stage 6

*2016-12-13, version 0.5*

Hello,

I discovered a bug where I could not complete Stage 6 by reaching the goal(silver machinery). The animation for the machinery is started but then the frames stopped and I'm stuck on the level. Please kindly fix it. Great graphics and concept btw.

### 2/5 — Plz fix freezing issue

### 2/5 — I want a refund

*2016-04-01, version 0.5*

Bought this game and haven't been able to play it as it doesn't even run!!

### 4/5 — I love nitrome!

*2016-03-25, version 0.5*

Good game, it's a puzzle like game, I enjoy it

### 3/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-03-01, version 0.5*

Was able to play it but now doesn't even get past the first screen before freezing

### 3/5 — 動きません

*2016-02-19, version 0.5*

タイトル画面は開くのですが、タップすると動かなくなります。早く対応お願いします。

### 2/5 — Fun game BUT awful controls and too short.

*2016-02-13, version 0.5*

This is a pretty fun game, BUT the controls are annoying to use. I found myself frequently dying or having to restart because the game interpreted a swipe as a tap or a tap as a swipe. A D-pad option would be nice. 

There aren't a ton of levels, and the levels are pretty short. I would like to see more added.

### 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.

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

*2019-10-08, version 1.5*

That’s it and it’s expensive

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2016-08-16, version 0.5*

It looks like the game is worth it but I could buy way more games that are so much better

### 1/5 — CRASHES!!!!!

*2016-07-03, version 0.5*

I can't even play the game it freezes on start up!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — App does not start at all.

*2016-06-24, version 0.5*

Nitrome, I love you and your games, but the one game I had to buy to start ended up not even running at all.

This game does not run at all on my iPad Air.

I have to one star this, and it hurts... I love you guys, please fix the app so I can change this review to a 5. >_<

### 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

*2020-01-17, version 1.5*

Wie gesagt, eins der besten Spiele aller Zeiten!!!

### 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.

### 5/5 — The best puzzle platformer you’ll play in a while

*2018-02-28, version 1.5*

It’s a brick, with a gun and a shield, solving puzzles!
Music is great, gameplay is brilliant, controls are easy and great on touch screen.
Plenty of levels for the price tag.

I need a sequel!

### 5/5 — Retro Puzzle

*2017-08-05, version 1.5*

Super Retro Grafik, tolle Musik/Sound. Puzzle sind leicht zu lösen. Macht spaß zu spielen. Ich empfehle es gerne weiter.

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2017-05-10, version 0.5*

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. This game is one of THE best games ever made. Ever. Brilliant mechanic. Super fun platform puzzler.

### 5/5 — Great concept

*2016-12-07, version 0.5*

This is a great game. It requires some thought, but not too much. The concept, the premise and the aesthetics are really tied together, and the mechanics are good. Super recommended.

### 5/5 — Pure Gameplay Goodness!

*2016-10-30, version 0.5*

I have played most of Nitrome's games, and this is my favourite so far! The thing that impressed me the most was the fiendish level design. The controls were superbly designed, and I felt like I was simultaneously playing a puzzle game and an action platformer (heart pounding boss battles). The little humourous touches added a lot of heart to it too. Can't thank the team enough for all the fun!

### 5/5 — Nitrome, good job

*2016-09-14, version 0.5*

Astounding job, love the graphics

### 5/5 — No problems

*2016-09-12, version 0.5*

Game plays smooth on my iPhone 6+. Zero crashes. The game is fun, clever and unique. My only gripe would be the length of the game. There are 3 parts with around 14 levels each. Not a lot of replayability, but there is a decent amount of content. Worth the price of admission.
