### 2/5 — App shutting down. Glitches

*2026-08-09, version 1.6.0*

This game is very much like the original and I love it but the game shuts down quite a bit. It’s impossible to play pass level 2 sometimes

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-07, version 1.6.0*

Obviously you’d think they would’ve fixed it by now but the 3-4 glitch literally won’t let you move forward

### 1/5 — GLITCHED- DO NOT BUY

*2026-08-03, version 1.6.0*

Loved this game as a kid and downloaded it because I was feeling nostalgic. Unfortunately the app contains a glitch that makes it completely unplayable. After reading reviews, apparently this is a glitch all players encounter. On level 3-4, when an enemy appears, the game will crash every time. Very disappointing and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crashes after some progress

*2026-07-29, version 1.6.0*

Frustrating to progress and hit a roadblock due to crashing

### 1/5 — Bug on rock enemy

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.0*

So sad. I made it to floor 3-2 and this enemy is still bugged. I was reading other reviews and it seems the devs have zero interest in fixing anything. Sad. Very sad.

### 5/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.0*

Literally one of the most fun games ever. But on Tank 3 Lvl 4 when the alien uses his attack it crashes every time. Even on other devices.

### 1/5 — Game crashes

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.0*

Game crashes when the alien on 3-4 (Tank 3 level 4h appears. Cannot fight the boss or beat the alien, the game will close. For 99 cents this game is overpriced.

### 2/5 — Robot monster

*2026-07-19, version 1.6.0*

Literally had the same problem as the other review. I love this game and played it in childhood but it kicks me off the app everytime that robot monster comes on so I guess it was a fun time while it lasted

### 1/5 — Fun but crashs

*2026-07-17, version 1.6.0*

Game is awesome but it seems to crash every time the rock alien spawns

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-15, version 1.6.0*

Game crashes in level 3-4 when the first alien attacks
