Or much anything else, Please take them off! Or at least make them all 5 second ads. ### 2/5 — ちょっと酷い *2020-04-14, version 1.8.5* 基本課金しないと10ステージ進む事すら 難しいです。あとコインを取る度 広告が出るのでちょっと おすすめしません ### 2/5 — It’s fine *2018-10-13* The game seems like a good idea on paper but is executed poorly, everything is like your typical space shooter with some skill, but daily bosses get harder and you have to grind. Now grinding wouldn’t be a problem if the bosses weren’t DAILY, 1 day missed and you’re gone. The ideas for this game clash, one is based on skill, the other on putting ZERO effort. Don’t waste your time with this. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2018-09-21* Really like the game but keeps crashing lately... ### 3/5 — Good game but final daily is impossible *2018-09-10* I went to beat the final daily and it had about 300q hp each square and my best ship had about 4q damage. It was huge so it hit the sides faster, meaning it went down faster. Also, if you think you can grind because the boss is postponed, NO! The health is now 1 quintillion each square. My ship had 8q damage. The only solution is to idle, so you can’t even play the game if you want to progress. ### 4/5 — Decent but impossible to progress to final ships *2018-08-02* Around level 200 it becomes literally impossible to beat a “yellow” boss for the final 2 ships. The scaling hp for whatever reason makes it impossible even with 2x fire rate and perm shields. You can only even kill one unlock square let alone the other 6. Wishing there was some endgame balance changes as I’m not stuck waiting around for 1 1/2 hours In game on 978Q to gain +1 on my final ship just to gain a whole 0.7q. Not even enough to slightly change the progression ### 1/5 — Terrible sound *2018-07-21, version 1.2.3* Why can’t I listen to music or YouTube instead of listening to the garbage sound that this game makes? ### 1/5 — Pointless *2018-07-16* A game without the gameplay. It’s seriously just an app for watching ads in exchange for arbitrary currency, which you will seldom receive anyway. ### 4/5 — Great but needs fixing *2018-07-15* Please fix the bug when the ship crashes the game when you buy it ### 4/5 — Luvsss it *2018-07-15* Wowwwwwww so attractive ### 3/5 — Give some ideas *2018-07-14, version 1.2.3* 1. Add skills and skillpoints for each level. Skills may upgrade damage, speed, earnings etc or 2. Simply add bonus in damage and earnings for each level (for example, 1% bonus for each level) 3. Give some money for level up ### 2/5 — I love it, but it's blatantly broken *2018-07-09* So, I love this game. It's really fun. However. After the ship that shoots a V-shaped group of bullets, DO NOT unlock the next ship. Skip that ship, because otherwise, the game will crash whenever you finish the level. I deleted the game and reinstalled it the first time this happened, then made it all the way back, bought the ship, cleared a level, aaaaand the game crashed again. I'm downloading it for the third time now, and I'm going to wait to have enough money to buy the ship AFTER the ship that breaks the game, since it's early enough that offline money and hard work can get you to that point. But it's absolutely worth getting and even working around the bug. And devs, if you read this, PLEASE FIX THAT BUG. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SO UNFAIR *2019-04-04* THE LAST SHIP IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET!!!!!!! PLEASE FIX ### 1/5 — Лаги *2018-09-26, version 1.4.0* Игра лагает ужасно😒 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-09-22, version 1.4.0* July 16, 2018: Crashes at level 53 when there's only one enemy left. The game is good, a nice time waster. But I can't give an app with such a glaring problem anything more than 1 star. In this day and age, we shouldn't be dealing with bugs as simple as crashes. September 22, 2018: Now it crashes at level 49. I didn't think it was possible, but after two months this problem actually got worse. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2018-09-21* It constantly crashes, please fix this as soon as you read, this, I won’t play otherwise. ### 1/5 — KEEPS CRASHING PLEASE FIX *2018-09-19* Game is great but it literally just keeps crashing. All the time it just crashes. The game freezes on start up and when I’m playing and I have to kill the app and open it back up ### 1/5 — Ad Spam *2018-09-03* Plays an ad every time you collect money. ### 1/5 — Good game but *2018-08-01, version 1.3* I really liked the game! Then the update which is great however each time I finish a level it closes down on my phone :/ and needing to start the level again :/ ### 1/5 — Fix the crashing issue *2018-08-01* Playing it is fun.. but not being able to play after you get to a certain point is crap. Closed the app and now it won’t open.. ### 1/5 — Crashes after Boss Ship *2018-07-31* Love the game, but crashes after about level 77 after beating Boss ship. ### 1/5 — Fun for the first few ships... *2018-07-22* Game is interesting until you are 5 to 6 ships in, then progress slows to basically a halt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — best update ever *2019-04-02, version 1.8.1* Please increase enemy HP 1000 times more than current. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2018-08-13* This is fun I mean I’m only am at level three but I’m pretty sure that I’m going to love this game and I hope that more people download this because I think people will love this game hopefully ### 5/5 — Cool game!!!!! *2018-07-12* Amazing and cool game I am going to play it a second time when it finishes downloading and it’s so cool!!! 😄😄😄😄😄 ### 5/5 — おもしろすぎる *2018-07-10, version 1.2.2* 頑張れ！ ### 5/5 — Idle game *2018-07-07* It’s another good idle game ### 5/5 — FUN GAME *2018-07-02, version 1.2.1* Its a fun take on an idel game with great artwork. Best way to kill time and escape from boredom 😆😆😆😆 ### 4/5 — Problem With Dem Moneyz *2019-04-16, version 1.8.3* Every time i kill an enemy i get negitive dollars. and if my negitive money if more than my actual money the game chashes ### 4/5 — Defect report *2019-01-12, version 1.7.1* It is iPhone 6s. Even if the vibration function is turned off, the body will continue trembling. Please fix bugs. ### 4/5 — Love the game *2018-10-10* I love this game but I would love to have more ships ### 4/5 — Freezes *2018-09-26* I would give this game a 5 stars but the problem is that the game freezes sometimes during the middle of the game and it gets annoying. **Developer response:** Check out the latest version. The bug has been fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
