## What is Micro Battles 3?

Whoop your friends in HEAD-TO-HEAD battles, 8-BIT STYLE!

Picking up where the glorious 2-player based video games of the 1970-1980s left off, it's time to bring back SNAKES, CARS, ROBOTS and SAMURAIS to once again settle the score between players.

HOW TO PLAY

Using two buttons (one for each player) on a single device, you can place your portable battleground anywhere.
Grab a friend, neighbor, dog or anyone who's up for a battle, pick a strategy and LAUGH OUT LOUD as you chase, whack, bump into or outsmart your opponent.

Battles are changed on a daily basis, so be sure to open the app every day for another fun challenge.

### 4/5 — Great app BUT

*2022-04-08*

The game itself is really fun but you can only do your daily game nothing against the game but if you could not have to buy the other games that would be GREAT again nothing against the game but it would be nice to play Any one without buying

### 1/5 — Good game but the game needs money

*2022-01-23*

This game is fine but we need to pay money to play more than 1 game 😡😡😡😡😤😤👿🤬

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-01-20*

Why can you only battle daily? It wants money to do anything. Not fun.

### 1/5 — Why only one game

*2021-03-13, version 1.01*

Why is there only one game and the game for me was that stupid bug game and the 🎮 is hard to Control

### 1/5 — Bad review

*2021-01-26*

I think you should let the player choose the game they wanna play if I don’t update or make the game better that making it choose for you I’ll give u a bad rating to shut it down for good

### 3/5 — Very good, but have to pay money

*2020-12-31*

This would be SOOOO fun if we didn’t have to pay money. Like if it was to remove ads it’s ok but to play a very basic game? I don’t think it’s worth it but I really like the game! If it wasn’t for money than I think it would be more popular :)
