### 5/5 — cool

*2025-04-29*

a really good game. would love to see an update or a sequel

### 5/5 — How have I not found this sooner!

*2023-06-27*

Idk what’s wrong with people nowadays but this game is not so many adds there is more than gameplay, in Fact I think there are none! None! (I wonder if I payed for this game by accident) also the controls are easy and precise. It’s gun

### 5/5 — 運動にはちょうど良い

*2023-03-26*

某ゲームのゲームボードを使うと良い運動になる

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-06-30*

This is a very nice game in my opinion 
But one thing I think would be good is extra ships you can get

### 5/5 — Just-Yes

*2021-10-01*

If I’m being honest, just download it and try it yourself, it’s so good i feel like Im not giving it enough credit when I try to explain. It’s simple and you just can’t stop playing it.                                                             

   If I had to put it into words, I’d say this game is absolutely amazing, and honestly a tad bit addictive. I have a lot of no ad, good games like this, but I just can’t stop playing this one. Sure I’ll play daddy long legs for a couple of minutes, but this one is just so fun and simple, but so detailed and amazing at the same time. This is an easy but escalating game where each level is fun and doesn’t get boring even after awhile, and it pushes you to beat your high score. I love the controls, and I really don’t understand when people say the controls are to sensitive. You can adjust them to just use your finger or tilt your device unlike many other games.

Just get the game already, it’s amazing.

### 5/5 — cool

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2020-01-22, version 2.1*

Why did I have an advertisement? I paid 1 dollar.

### 1/5 — Paid for no ads, still has ads

*2019-07-15*

Restoring purchase works until the next time you play, and you have to wait through an ad to get the option
