I like the premise, the weapon effects and the action. The games are too short though because I get killed so soon. Also, it would be a lot more fun if we got to see an assortment of different robot characters. ### 3/5 — Decent but very minimal *2017-08-22, version 1.1.3* It's an ok infinite runner but there's very little challenge and once you have played the game for 5 minutes you have seen everything it has to offer. The only increase in difficulty is that the enemies get slightly more frequent, and you will eventually make a mistake. Probably due to boredom. 3 stars because this game has no flaws (it functions as designed) except that it's more of a demo than a full game. ### 3/5 — Ditch the slomo... *2017-03-05, version 1.1.3* Was the slow motion put there to mess you up. Because it does. Messes your timing up every freaking time. And for what, I don't even see anything spectacular happening when it does it. If you are gonna keep it do t use it so often and also make it much shorter duration and also actually make sure some even is clearly happening. Maybe it needs special effects with words and numbers so you have something to look at which also reveals why it's happening. Make it more rare. And maybe just respawn instead of end level and take forever to start again. Break the boundaries of typical to bridge instant user gratification and this game will go from decently average game to notable and fun. ### 3/5 — Yeah it's a good game *2016-11-30, version 1.1.3* It's a fun game. ### 4/5 — Good *2016-08-29, version 1.1.3* HATE THE RAY GUN but other wise good game☝ ### 3/5 — Good game *2016-08-09, version 1.1.3* Good gameplay but the slow motion is overdone and obnoxious, especially after death. ### 4/5 — Pretty good. *2016-08-08, version 1.1.3* Needs a few more things, though. Maybe boss battles? Because I've gotten tired to reducing everything to shrapnel with one shot. Maybe loadouts would be good too. ### 5/5 — I keep coming back... *2016-06-23, version 1.1.3* Some games are difficult to learn, this is not one of them. But like the greats, it's near impossible to master. Super simple, addictive as all get out, about as near to perfect as a game can get. Also, the sounds and effects are totally bad@55! Love it!! ### 5/5 — It's good but... *2016-06-05, version 1.1.3* It's good but I already have everything and I played 15 games ### 5/5 — Really good *2016-06-05, version 1.1.3* Finally a no paytoplay game! Awesome ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2016-05-16, version 1.1.3* This is exactly what games on the iPhone were meant to be. Simple, fun, and amazing. To all the people who are asking for "more," I disagree. This game is a perfect time killer, and the devs did an amazing job. it is perfect, and fun. ### 5/5 — Cool *2016-03-01, version 1.1.3* Awesome ### 4/5 — Short attention span *2016-02-16, version 1.1.3* Shallow but fun. Good for quick fixes ### 5/5 — 😺 *2016-02-10, version 1.1.3* Very cute ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-01-31, version 1.1.3* Best game ever! ### 4/5 — Needs update *2016-01-24, version 1.1.3* Lastronaut is one of my favorite games it's fun and addictive but it gets really old after a while and is in dire need of a update we need more weapons perks and a different background the same old same old gets dull. ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-12-22, version 1.1.3* Very addictive, fast fun. ### 4/5 — Needs more. *2015-12-15, version 1.1.3* I love this game. It is one of my absolute favorites that I have on my phone. But, after a while, it gets boring. Firstly, you should be able to have a sort of customizable Arsenal for each game you play, and as you level up, unlock more weapons along the way. Secondly, you should be able to unlock costumes without I.A.P. I understand how the costumes are a great way for the devs to make money, however it would be great if you could unlock some for free. Third, add a few more perks. Y'know you unlock the three and then your pretty much done. And lastly, more backgrounds. The same old city scape gets old very quickly, and you begin to wish there was some more eye candy in the background. That's my wish list, and I hope it is taken into consideration. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2015-10-04, version 1.1.3* Nothing good about it. Just jump n shoot. No potential. Retro look and music is ok ### 1/5 — $$GREED$$ *2015-06-25, version 1.1.3* They finally got greedy and added IAP's. I knew an amazing totally free game couldn't last forever. Humans are hard wired to be greedy. 👎 Still a good game but a big "fu" to you guys. I can't say what I really want because the censors at Apple won't post it. ### 1/5 — I've been told to rate it now on first opening *2015-04-23, version 1.0.2* I would be playing this right now if I wasn't so annoyed by the 'rate it now' pop ups that so commonly appear when one opens a new app for the first time. If you want a nice rating and review, ask me after I have had the chance to enjoy it. ### 1/5 — Good for the first 5 minutes *2015-03-08, version 1.0.2* Fun at first but it just gets really boring and repetitive ### 2/5 — Boring *2015-05-26, version 1.1.1* After you get to level 15, the game just gets boring. Adding to that is that you need to buy all extra costumes using real money instead of restricting some for use of real money and creating in game currency. ### 2/5 — Get rid of the slow motion *2015-03-12, version 1.0.2* The slow mo disrupts the pace of gameplay. Also, some missiles are pretty unfair in timing when they show on screen. ### 2/5 — Meh.. *2015-03-10, version 1.0.2* After reading the reviews for this "fantastic game" I was disappointed at how.. Repetitive the game is. I played 2 games and thought to myself "meh, it's the same thing, jump and shoot, no real objective, no upgrades" it was pretty boring. The only reason I give this 2 stars, was because there were no adverts. ### 2/5 — Nothing special *2015-03-09, version 1.0.2* Think Jetpack Joyride with annoying slow mo and a reset that takes ages when you die. The Slo mo is cool maybe the first five times and then just becomes tedious. Add a faster reset for more action would make a much better game. I don't need to see my guy slow mo die constantly. Also it's super difficult.. ### 2/5 — Severely disappointing *2015-03-09, version 1.0.2* Barely managed to entertain me for five minutes. Certainly not recommended or worthy of a place in "Best New Games" ### 2/5 — Bit boring *2015-03-09, version 1.0.2* Looks good but not enough to hold attention for long. Also controls are annoying - to fire you have to obstruct the screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works on my old tablet *2026-07-04, version 1.1.3* If you have and 12 iOS and no games are campatiple with your iPad we’ll your in luck this amazing game let’s you play this endless thriller without having a new phone or tablet. My tablet was old and I had no games to play until I found this game it is soooooooooo fun so try it right now ### 5/5 — Been on this for years. *2024-12-16, version 1.1.3* Just good. Easy to get into, challenging to finish. ### 5/5 — Love at first download *2020-01-14, version 1.1.3* I’ve installed this game on every iPhone I’ve had. It’s great for when you just want to forget about things for awhile. The graphics are reminiscent of the old Atari games (but better). I just love everything about this game. Thanks to whoever thought it up and developed it. 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Love. It. *2017-05-16, version 1.1.3* Ran out of cool space games and stumbled on this one. Love it!! ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC but lil outdated *2017-05-15, version 1.1.3* I have had this game for two years now and unfortunately they don't give regular updates to include new features! I would recommend to my friends and enjoy it more if you could update it and add new creative, fun ideas Thanks ### 5/5 — Runaway free Yuki ootomo *2017-04-27, version 1.1.3* Did this game get copied from run away free by yuki ootomo? ???? ?????????? ### 5/5 — Love the Update! *2016-09-01, version 1.1.3* This game was pretty fun at first but this update made it even more fun. I do think there is something missing, some more weapons maybe. Love this game, recommended playing it ### 5/5 — Gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 no h8 *2016-08-19, version 1.1.3* Noice game you got there. ### 5/5 — Side Scrolling Extravaganza *2016-08-18, version 1.1.3* I use this game as a quick 2-3 minute game between texting or reading on public transit. Enjoyable wasting of time. ### 5/5 — Feels great, smooth game *2016-08-18, version 1.1.3* The gameplay is top-notch. Couldn't be happier with the idea and is easily one of the best endless runners. But it DOES need more. More unlockables, more environments, free characters. Starting to feel like same old same old. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
