This game takes so long to load that I crashed so hard I can’t even play no more,but when it dose load its quite a fire game

### 3/5 — Fun indie game that tried to be cute

*2026-05-12, version 2.0.3*

It looks really dumb imo. Could have looked better and had more impressive characters.

### 5/5 — Que jogão

*2026-04-01*

Adorei o minigames é difícil mas a história é boa

### 4/5 — Очень классно!

*2026-03-29*

Максимально прикольный формат игры! Жаль нет синхронизации с версией на маке и айфоне :( за это увы только 4 звезды :(

### 5/5 — Jonna

*2026-03-29*

재밌어요!!!

### 5/5 — Lohnt sich

*2026-03-06*

Habe die Vollversion gekauft und es lohnt sich

### 5/5 — Прикольно

*2026-03-05*

Игра своих денег стоит, залипательная, отлично чтобы расслабиться. Денег своих стоит

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-28*

The game is amazing — the paid version is definitely worth it. I’d like to suggest an improvements, if I may.

Could you please consider adding a mini-map of the sector to the gameplay interface (HUD)? I always like exploring every corner and looking for secrets, and it would be much more convenient to have a mini-map instead of opening the menu every time to check where you haven’t been yet. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Macht wirklich Spaß

*2026-02-18*

Gute Steuerung, Hammer Soundtrack. Stimmige Spielwelt und der in App Kauf ist absolut fair. Absolute Empfehlung

### 5/5 — Original

*2026-02-18*

Contenu et physique très original, qui m’a donné envie d’acheter le jeu complet.
J’y joue tout les jours et c’est un réel plaisir !
Bravo à l’équipe

### 5/5 — Definitely a must have

*2026-02-12*

Great game with a huge plot twist! Just when you think it’s all said and done something crazy happens.. trust me keep playing after the ending because it’s just the beginning!

### 5/5 — 11/10

*2026-02-04*

Macht super viel Spaß. Tolles Spiel.

### 2/5 — Bugs Freezes

*2026-01-31, version 2.0.3*

If this game ran smoothly is easily 5 stars, but a few missions in and I can hardly get through any combat because of the way the game freezes. I may request a refund if it is not fixed.

### 1/5 — It starts off brilliantly but fizzles out in the end

*2026-07-09*

The gameplay feels absolutely stunning at first. Yet as you spend more time in the game, the levels become far too repetitive with nothing new to offer. Later on, the developers didn’t even bother designing unique weapon artwork or naming new weapons. Entering the Dome skips straight to the final wave of enemies, and the final boss is barely any harder than regular minions. It really feels like the studio rushed to cash out and abandon the project, leaving such a shoddy, rushed ending.

### 1/5 — Should be renamed to “no way to play it”

*2026-06-05*

It is beyond me why anyone thinks it  okay to upload a game where you cannot set your own keys for movement etc.


Shows an absolute disrespect for the game player.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-05-14*

Bad game

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time with the game. We always appreciate any feedback you might have to improve the experience. All the best, Luci@SMG

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-05-14*

Bad

### 1/5 — いい加減に

*2026-04-04*

進行不可のバグなおせ！

### 1/5 — Слетают сохранения

*2026-04-03*

Когда играешь без интернета, а затем заходишь в игру при активном подключении - слетает весь прогресс пока ты был оффлайн. Первый раз проматерился и прошел заново сегмент, второй раз удаляю, невозможно это терпеть

### 1/5 — Fun game but the nothing.

*2026-02-05*

I played the trial and it was super fun. So much fun that I bought the game. Two weeks later it stopped loading beyond the “loading cloud data” screen. I emailed their tech support and have heard nothing. I feel like I threw away 4.99. I wish it had been a better experience. I am going to look into a refund.

### 1/5 — Forced Female Main

*2026-01-03, version 2.0.2*

I don’t want to play a girl.

### 1/5 — Scammed out of my data

*2025-11-14, version 2.0.2*

Free to download but not free to start playing rite away would have been a decent game if you guys would put it in the buy this game category

### 1/5 — Too much death

*2025-11-13, version 2.0.2*

Following the missions and roaming around does nothing but hurt you. The more you explore, the more you die, the more you lose, the less you can gather or upgrade! 

Make shields/hull stronger, or make weapons deal more damage. I feel like I’m being punished for purchasing your game!!

### 5/5 — Sehr schön gestaltet und umgesetzt!

*2026-08-06*

Nachdem ich mich im kostenlosen Intro des Spiels verlor, investierte ich die 5,99. Macht Spaß und läuft sehr gut auf dem MacBook Air M2.

### 5/5 — Where is spiderman?

*2026-08-04*

Add pls

### 5/5 — I’m so happy this is Back!!

*2026-07-01*

I’m so glad this is no Longer on a Subscription Service this was the only reason I had Apple Arcade and now I own the game I purchased right away no hesitation this game is Fun and Funny I Really Hope this Get a Switch Port one day I’d Definitely Purchase this on Console Especially on Nintendo Switch

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed playing our game! All the best, Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — Und ich..

*2026-06-25*

..befürchtete bereits solche Spiele wären ausgestorben. Sammeln, kämpfen, Waffen und Ausrüstung bauen, stärker werden. Dazu eine bezaubernde Grafik und ein flüssiges Flugverhalten. Und das Sahnehäubchen: Demoversion und TUSCH: Einmalkauf. <3
„Von innen grösser als von aussen“ 😂

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback! Alles Gute, Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed the demo

*2026-06-17*

This is clearly a game made with a lot of love. Really enjoy the characters and the combat, probably going to buy

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed playing our game! All the best, Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — BlastronautZ

*2026-05-29*

One of the highest quality mobile games out there. Definitely worth the $5. My only complaint is that the leaderboards for the BlastronautZ mini game is full of blatant cheaters. I love this mini game and probably have played it  10x as much as the normal game and yet my high score is still only 400,000. The top 5 spots are all over 1,000,000,000. The devs would know that this simply isn’t possible without cheating. I hope they remove these cheaters so the real gamers can get their credit. P.S. you should release BlastronautZ as a standalone game with more levels, it’s so fun!!!!

**Developer response:** We've raised this with the dev team - thanks for the feedback! -Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — Epic Mobile standard

*2026-05-09*

Best game I’ve played on this platform. Fun, challenging, silly, and tinged with cosmic horror and a vaguely steampunk feel. Just wished they’d gone further with everything, there’s gold here. 
I’m just here for the arcade really. There is one game in there that i miss playing.

**Developer response:** Shared your feedback with the dev team for review - thank you for the feedback & glad to hear that you've loved our app! All the best, Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — So good.

*2026-05-08, version 2.0.3*

Glad I stumbled upon this game.

### 5/5 — 1 STAR FOR APPLE ARCADE.   Taken off Apple Arcade and now charging 5$

*2026-04-22*

I loved this game a few years ago when it was on Apple Arcade and won’t give the devs a negative review.  I got almost to the end and was excited to complete the game.  It was one of the only games on Apple Arcade that I played.  They took the game off, now they are charging 5$.  Apple has no respect for their subscribers.  I wish I could give Apple Arcade 1 star.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! All the best, Luci@SMG

### 5/5 — Really great

*2026-04-04, version 2.0.3*

So fun and rewarding. Well done!
