### 1/5 — I hate it

*2023-03-10, version 2.0*

I hate it

### 4/5 — Nice

*2022-05-27, version 2.0*

Has controller support 👍

### 2/5 — Looks nice, missing controls

*2022-03-05, version 2.0*

It seems like the dev forgot a crucial control scheme - changing the direction of movement!  You can move backwards and forwards and change where you're looking, but there's nothing to turn your mech!?!  Without that, the game is pointless to play. Too bad, because otherwise seems like it could be good.

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-02-05, version 2.0*

Yea I’m

### 1/5 — Poor controls

*2020-10-17, version 2.0*

Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Hard to control mech

*2018-09-13, version 2.0*

No instructions

### 1/5 — Blah....took 2 mins to dislike this game

*2018-03-24, version 2.0*

The controls are clunky and non responsive. Just blah...

### 1/5 — Yuck.

*2015-09-04, version 1.9*

I got it to DL and install.  Don't waste your time,  the actual game was so awful I deleted it after playing for just a few minutes.

### 1/5 — Phff

*2015-09-01, version 1.9*

Game will not download, regardless of location or network.

### 1/5 — Doesn't even get past the start screen

*2014-10-13, version 1.8*

Newer fully updated iPad , and can't get past the initial start screen. Pass on it and save yourself the three minutes you will never get back.
