Great game!
I used to play pencil flick games at school (I’m quite old) and this takes me right back there.
I can hardly fault this game - the flickyness works brilliantly, the courses are varied, there’s enough variety to keep it interesting.
If there was one thing I’d say that the CPU opponent is both deadly and rubbish at the same time: if it’s lining you up and there’s no gap in the wall to shoot through then it’s pretty much curtains 100%. But, on the other hand, it spends ages making daft moves back and forth for no reason.
I’d make a few changes to those things, add on a few levels of CPU skill (it’s not great, even at its highest level) then - bingo - a six star game!

Absolutely Impossible.
Beyond frustrating to play. Can’t get passed the airplane tutorial. The most unfun gaming experience I’ve ever had.
AI is too good. Unfair.
Neat concept, but AI never misses. For a human the controls are not easy to master. It’s not like playing against a human, it’s like playing against that robot girl in Ex Machina that killed everyone.
Sweet Game! One thing I think could make map creator better tho.
I love this game so much! Me and my friend would play this irl all the time but you can’t carry a big enough piece of paper wherever you go. That’s why I especially love the pass n’ play feature. You just need one phone! However, we always have some new ideas for maps, but the map creator is kind of hard to use. I have an idea that might make it easier. I think that the buttons at the top that change the type of sprite should be removed altogether. I think that pressing the sprite button should select whatever type is default, then tap it again to open a list of the types of sprites. Then when you select the desired type, you can then place and maneuver as desired.
So, tap once to select sprite, then tap again to open the list of sprite types. It would also be nice if it were that way for units as well, just for simplicity’s sake.

My favorite game
This game offers a fun challenge every time. It is my favorite game app and it always transports me to my childhood when I used to play this with paper and pencil
Stealth iPhone X Update!
This excellent and completely unique game now supports the iPhone X’s native resolution. Nice!!!
Absolutely love the game!
This game is great! I've had it for quite a while, and it's one I consistently go back to to play. PvP is really enjoyable, campaign as well. The controls aren't hard to use at all, once you figure out what you're doing. Developer is also really responsive if ever you have issues. Would absolutely recommend; and have so for several friends.

Great game
This is a staple on my iPhone and iPad. Fun with friends and against the computer. If a game is easy, is it really any fun to play? Highly recommend
Horrid controls.
Just don't. Controls never work the way you want them to. Very inaccurate with how it reads what your intended shots were. It's more of a frustrating game than anything else. There's so much better on the app store that you can spend your money on. Just a trash game trying to appeal to your youth, apparently.

Waste of money
Doesn't make any sense. Way too much work and way too difficult to use.
Awesome but....
Y'all need to add more stuff like people
Reminds me of my childhood
Great game all around. Simple and challenging at the same time. If you played as a kid, you'll love this game. No more erasing and re-drawing, no more arguing if it was actually a "hit" or not.
The only thing I can say bad about it, is that it is sometimes inconsistent about whether or not your tanks are destroyed due to moving over water. Sometimes it only takes a sliver and boom, other times you can get away with half your tank riding in the water!
Other than that small complaint, this game is a steal for 99 cents!

Controls are actually pretty good
Okay, a lot of reviews complain about the controls. And yes, the controls are hard. And they're hard for the AI, too. I have seen the AI drive tanks into rivers and flub what should have been easy shots. The thing here is, if you ever actually played the paper version of this game, yes, it really is sort of hard to control a skittering pencil. That's what the game is trying to simulate. And it absolutely is sort of hard to control, but that turns out to be fun once you get a bit better at it.
I think there's some quirks (collision detection seems to have a consistent bias in one direction, but it's paper-direction, neither for nor against the human player), but overall this is really nicely done and has a lot of fun and depth.

Hate this game
The way you move units and shoot is just bad
DO NOT BUY THIS

Love it
Really fun due to the simplicity
Amazing!!!
I work In the cartridge department of Nintendo and this game is amazing! It's. Shame it would have been a huge hit back in the day
Great Game...But is Unstable
I love the idea and the gameplay. One of the most enjoyable games I've played.
The issue I have is that after I open the game, I'll often times want to restart a level. The only way to do this is pause, and click on the missions menu. That's fine, but the game often crashes when I do that, and when I reopen, it's typically to a level or two prior, and my progress hasn't been saved. I've tried to save and quit to prevent this, but that hasn't been working right either. Frustrating.

Bad Control Input
I downloaded this game, expecting some simple 'draw the line to where you want to move', but instead, I got a 'game' made for, I'm not sure.
The 'think: touch-slide-move-touch', or whatever it was is far too tedious. I move much faster on folding a piece of paper and using a pencil.
With that said, even though I played it only for 45 seconds in training, I loved the graphics and music and animation FIVE thumbs up which is what got me download it.
If the Dev's can't give me 'draw path to move', at least give me onscreen controls like UP = LEFT and DOWN = RIGHT, then PRESS BUTTOM. To MOVE FOWARD or BACKWARDS.
If you can, check out ATARI 2600's COMBAT the tank levels. Yes, I'm an old gamer.
I'll check back in February 2015, I hope control input is better. I'd LOVE to share this game then, if so.

Awesome strategy game!
Fun game that requires strategy and skill (at flicking a digital pencil ;) )
Amazing game
Beautifully made. Nostalgic graphics. Simple gameplay. Tough AI. Love it.
