### 1/5 — Fun but needs more

*2024-12-29*

Its fun but should not pay money to spend red stone on upgrades if u get them and if im gonna pay 5$ it should have more then one map plues exter for free one star untill the maker read this

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2024-12-25*

I played this game on Xbox, and when I was browsing the App Store and saw it, I instantly downloaded it. Now I can play it anywhere I want on my phone But I payed for the 5$ upgrade and didn’t get.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone

*2024-12-20*

BEWARE
Currently it’s not possible to start a game. On select crew screen, the start button does not do ANYTHING. 
I will update review when the game fixed. Don’t buy until then!

### 2/5 — No auto rotate !

*2024-09-21*

Crazy in this day and age there’s no auto rotate. So the notch is to the right when you play. Don’t devs look at other games which are all the other way round ??

The game itself looks great. Lots of depth. But just can’t play it when it’s the other way round. Please fix !!
