### 5/5 — 6年前的游戏还在更新，这真是太棒了 great ！

6年前的游戏还在更新，这真是太棒了
It's great that a game from 6 years ago is still updated

### 5/5 — A real classic

*2020-06-12*

This game was shared back in the days when LAN-Parties were still a thing. When you needed a pause from Quake or the original Counter-Strike you started up this game and tried to beat your friend‘s highscores. 

The port for the Iphone works great. The controls work great and the graphics and sound are pretty much the same. There are no ads and the game is totally free. Thanks to the creator(s) of the game. You are awesome!

### 5/5 — Genau wie früher! :)

Macht noch genau soviel Spaß

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2015-10-01*

It's back! I couldn't find it on the App Store for a while but here it is!

Bought this back on 1st gen iPhone and I've installed on every model since! A great game, it's a shame it doesn't have more downloads.

Sehr gutes Spiel macht immer wieder Spaß !! Für 0,79 € Top !!

### 5/5 — Was great back then. Still great.

*2010-07-13*

Loved this on PC, now it has triple the levels. Buy this game

### 5/5 — PC版からのファンです

*2009-12-19*

至ってシンプルなルールとゲーム性。
誰でも楽しめますが、死に方がエグい時があるので笑えない人には
オススメ出来ません。

### 4/5 — Brilliant Game

*2009-10-29*

I'll go as fat as to say the previous reviewer is an idiot; 2 stars purely because of the high score function? Get a life.

It will be a great addition when they incorporate it but as it stands it loses 1 star for that.

Other than that, you have 60 more levels than the PC version, highly responsive controls, crisp graphics and a good soundtrack.

Is completely addictive and you will be asking your mates what level they can get to or what score they have achieved. Unless you are like the other reviewer that doesn't have 'offline' friends ...

Don't hesitate to buy this game. It's not as polished as a Popcap game but it's every bit as addictive!  Thanks to the developers for porting it!
