### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad Air 3rd gen

*2020-01-02*

Don’t know what is wrong. Said it was compatible.

### 4/5 — SO MUCH FUN

*2018-11-27*

I love this game. People need to stop criticizing it for what they wish it was capable of and start evaluating it based on what it is. For a VR stand still shooter game on my iPHONE, it’s pretty awesome. Graphics could always be better but I believe in whoever made this game. Keep at it and keep challenging yourself. I’d love to see future projects like this from you. Thanks for the good time! &If you ever want original soundtracks for your games, look me up.

### 5/5 — Kind of scary and challenging

*2017-03-04*

Good game

### 2/5 — A good start for a VR sci-fi adventure.

*2017-01-14*

I like the concept and the graphics but I want to use my nimbus steel series controller in VR mode. It lets you use the joystick to move up and down in the menu but the buttons don't work to select. It might be ok on Apple TV. I would rate it at least 4 stars if it allowed nimbus in VR mode.

**Developer response:** I am not support VR + gamepad now. I will try it in the future.

### 5/5 — VR mode bug?

*2016-07-06*

VR mode left side screen cannot see anything.
