But there is one thing that bugs me. Every time you get an ad all buttons on screen stop working. Which means you have to restart the whole game. And that can ruin some great runs. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Good game, but I found a glitch *2018-07-16, version 1.5.2* I was fighting the Widowmaker in boss mode and it went off screen and disappeared, please fix this ### 4/5 — Controls *2018-07-16, version 1.5.2* You just stop moving and die because the controls are so precise ### 4/5 — Awesome game, but controls don’t always work *2018-07-05, version 1.5.1* I love this game and I can tell that I will be playing for a long time, but as soon as I hopped in, I found out that sometimes when you move or place a shield it doesn’t work and you have to try the control button again. This can make it hard to do whatever you are trying to do. I will anticipate the button not working and so I press it twice, but then, it just so happens that I moved the first time I pressed the button and then I am dead. ### 4/5 — Bug in a two player mode *2018-06-17, version 1.5* Hi this is a wonderful game! However there is a bug in a two player mode where player 1’s (player playing on the bottom of the phone, or a non-flipped side) block button disappears after the first round. ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2018-04-26, version 1.5* This game is really fun, but for some reason it glitches out when I try to play two player. For P1 after the first round it doesn’t allow him to use his shield no matter who won that round, but P2 can always use shields no matter what round it is. This leaves an unfair advantage to P2, so I had to devise the rule “no shields after the first round.” And I always have to explain why. But yeah it’s a good game, I like it a lot. ### 4/5 — GREATEST Game *2017-01-03, version 1.31* The game is good. It is really a fun time to use. I play game much time over my time. Very good. I very America like. Thank the man who created game ### 5/5 — Completely free *2016-12-14, version 1.3* This is a completely free game. It has no ads, and no in app purchases. It's fun to quickly play with a friend. And also it works off-line. In addition the developer has done a good job of constantly updating the game with meaningful content like extra characters and new modes. ### 4/5 — Really fun *2016-10-14, version 1.2* This game is really fun and funny too! My only problem is sometimes its hard to move side to side. ### 4/5 — Good but can be better *2016-10-12, version 1.2* Wrote a paragraph but got deleted because someone took my username so just gonna list it. 1. Add a horizontal screen mode would be so much easier to play since in vertical the buttons are bunched up 2. 2 player mode should have a Bluetooth option instead of 2 people on one device you cant really play anywhere else but on a table because its a flat surface but what if were on a road trip the cars gonna be moving us all around messing up the game, but if you had Bluetooth you could practically play everywhere 3. Maybe add an online mode and play with other players? ### 5/5 — Great idea for a great game. *2016-10-09, version 1.2* I think this game is amazing, you can't get any better, and I can play this forever trying to learn better attack patterns. It would be great if there was a local wifi multiplayer and a worldwide multiplayer. (Maybe later on, private worldwide matches being available.) Also, if there was a currency system. Don't make in app purchases though. With the new "currency", we could buy different weapons, but start off with a slightly worse weapon, making the better weapons seem even better. Like a burst fire weapon spraying 3-5 lasers at a time. And charge weapons where you hold the fire button to launch a laser that has area damage. You can honestly go anywhere with this. But, don't make the weapons cost ridiculous amounts of currency. That would just ruin a perfectly addicting game. But, I think most of these would improve it further. ### 5/5 — Soops adicting töåtś ädįćtïçtïçtìñg *2016-10-07, version 1.2* Amazing pop date ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wasn’t enjoyable *2018-07-16, version 1.5.2* Needs more work to it ### 1/5 — Joshua *2018-04-29, version 1.5* I think this is pure trash ### 1/5 — Stupid and boring. *2016-11-23, version 1.2* This game is stupid and gets boring. Good idea though. Don't purchase because it is stupidly boring after the first minute of play. ### 1/5 — Wtf *2016-08-19, version 1.0* Wtf ,,, is the game done? ### 2/5 — Too many adverts *2017-09-07, version 1.42* For a game where you die so fast and have to respawn .... an advert every 3 tries is way too many . It's monotonous .... ### 3/5 — This game is good...not much beyond that. *2019-06-06, version 1.5.5* This game isn’t bad and that’s the most interesting thing I have to say about it. Credit to being simple, though this is a case where the game might be too simple. ### 3/5 — Why *2018-04-28, version 1.5* Fun but controls don’t work 50% of the time ### 3/5 — disappointment *2016-10-08, version 1.2* The game from 90th. I don't like it:( ### 3/5 — Okay *2016-08-27, version 1.01* Not bad, but I just can't seem to get the controls to work for me. They're placed very awkwardly close to the bottom of the screen and half the time I end up missing the buttons because of this ### 3/5 — Maybe *2016-08-26, version 1.01* As of right now, there does not exist a 1 player mode. Although the option is available, but the levels don't seem to begin. You're stuck in this limbo. I'm giving it a 3 because of the cool retro graphics, sprites and soundtrack, and the potential of having really fun/funny 2 player mode. Will invest. *tosses app in space games pile ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome but need more bosses i found a glitch *2019-10-11, version 1.5.5* Hey Brad Erika please put more bosses and more stuff to the game more offers and stuff note: Widow-maker intends to leave the screen and shooting somewhere else so if u could fix that Brad "ASAP” ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-02-07, version 1.5.4* This game is very addictive and good but the controls are a little twearky ### 5/5 — A great game to play with friends *2018-10-06* Space thing is a immersive fun version of space invaders. If you have friends and family or you just want some time to yourself I definitely recommend space thing **Developer response:** So glad you enjoy it! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2018-09-30, version 1.5.2* I love this game because it’s chanlanging and fun ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2018-05-04, version 1.5* THis is the one of the most fun games I’ve played. I love how there are no ads, but it would be cool to have the ability to level up ### 5/5 — It a great thing *2018-05-01, version 1.5* This is a great game its just what I like it’s retro it’s a shooter and it’s 2D witch is better than 3D I would add an option to create a new space thing ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-07-29, version 1.42* It's so addicting! I'd recommend getting this is so much fun and it's like the only app with no in-app purchases!👍 ### 5/5 — Perfectly epic *2017-03-09, version 1.4* This game is so fun, it's completely free! I love the fast pace of it all, only one suggestion: Add a Game Center leaderboard for invaders mode! One thing, the invaders mission "win with 3 shields" doesn't work. It shows the unlock but then doesn't unlock the boss. ### 5/5 — Oh ding dong this be good *2017-01-04, version 1.31* So these guys or guy or woman or women just made a completely awesome game that's completely free as far as I can tell. No freemium baby! This game is really good too and totally deserves the 5 stars I gave it. ### 5/5 — One Word retro *2016-12-14, version 1.3* Amazing game.Wonderful Idea in general.Breathtaking animation --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
