Loved it,My kids caught me playing it and then my six-year-old took over LOL…Easy to play when u put it on easy mode… it is truly an addictive game I can’t stop playing it….

### 4/5 — Fun game but a little confusing

*2021-08-11*

I really enjoyed playing the game. The first level was fun. There is an option but that lets you change from easy to normal or hard. You can also change the colors but as soon as you click on the options button it takes away the start button. So you you set up the next level of play but there isn’t an obvious way to start the game.

### 3/5 — Update Makes For Worse Gameplay

*2021-03-12*

I’ve been playing this game for years. And up until about a month ago I was always able to hit the targets on every level (usually several levels ahead). Since the update that is listed as only having fixed a couple bugs I can’t make it past level 25 on easy. It used to be a fun game to play. Not so anymore.

### 5/5 — 재밌다

。

### 5/5 — Grand mal seizure

*2016-12-28*

The ads at the top are one thing, but they recently started strobing them so quickly that I'm afraid they will cause a grand mal seizure. It is so disturbing that I cannot play anymore.

### 1/5 — 体验感太差

*2016-06-26*

几乎从来不评价的人忍不住了。。
看到是限免游戏就下载试试，结果是消灭星星翻版，这倒是也没什么。音乐难听就不说了，星星的颜色辨识度也太低了，感觉自己要瞎。你们之前没有自己试玩过吗，看得清颜色吗？！别说是原价打死也不买，免费下的我都后悔了。。

### 4/5 — Addicting

*2015-10-17*

Great game.  I love to play.
