But when they do, they take your entire screen while the game continues to run, making it to where you can’t defend yourself. Most of the ads I had you couldn’t cancel until much later into the ad itself, and there’s no way to remove ads, so you’re pretty much stuck with them. ### 2/5 — Good premise ruined by slow game speed and ads *2020-05-31, version 1.1.2* This game could be pretty interesting, but it has three problems. One, the weapon types aren’t meaningful choices. They are all the same autoturret, and the different charge-up abilities don’t meaningfully vary as far as effect on the game because the enemies are all essentially the same. Two, there is no option to speed up the game. Progressing through the levels is really boring. There is a prestige mechanic, but you can’t do it often enough, and besides, you’re limited by how quickly the level sends bubbles. There’s no way to send the next wave early. Three, there are way too many ads and no option to pay to remove them. There are ads every few levels ads to turn on a 180 second coin boost (you need this to progress) so you will be viewing ads about 20-30 times an hour. It’s too much. Progress without ads is slower than watching ads. I think this game has potential if these things are addressed. ### 2/5 — Ads *2019-12-01, version 1.1.2* Ads in the middle of playing are a huge turn off, especially if your trying to make a first impression with your game. ### 3/5 — Ads ruined it *2019-07-11, version 1.1.2* I used to enjoy this game...but now the pop up ads have destroyed it. 30 second ads every level stop you from even completing the level the first time. I get trying to make a little coin, but the ads are ridiculous, the ones up top are fine but every level another stupid video ad for another game is a joke. Way to ruin your game. ### 3/5 — fix your ads *2019-07-01, version 1.1.2* with all of the random pop-up ads that appear in the middle of a level and make you lose, youd think there would be an option to remove them. i spend a lot of time on this game so im trying to not give a bad review, but why have so many ads if theres no option to get rid of it? i wonder if you even want people to play this game longer than 10 minutes, cause this and the near impossible-to-overcome difficulty spikes in the beginning say otherwise ### 2/5 — Fun but adds render unplayable. *2019-06-17, version 1.1.2* Started off super fun until adds started interrupting gameplay. Not playing between levels but at random intervals and it pausing the gameplay while the adds are streaming causing level loss. ### 4/5 — Haven’t even started but I wish that every time i got a new tower the music would evolve *2019-03-28, version 1.1.1* Yeah uhh just read the title ### 4/5 — Amazing game *2019-03-24, version 1.1.0* This game is amazing but i am level 12 first prestige on round 36 and my game just continues to freeze. Once i close out and go into the app it just says on a frozen screen. ### 4/5 — Level 80 boss is ridiculous *2019-03-03, version 1.1.0* Nearly impossible to beat. Fix this weird power spike and I’ll give 5 stars ### 2/5 — Good concept but needs a lot of improvements *2019-03-03, version 1.1.0* Overall, I like the game. It’s a good mindless time waster. However, there are a number of issues that get in the way of enjoying the game. First, the game is Ad-to-win. After a certain point, the only way to make meaningful gains is to watch tons of ads. There’s no way around this and no paid option. Second, the ads can be super buggy, freezing or crashing the game. Also, there are UX issues by way of the game not being fleshed out enough. The are achievement goals to get bonus points but there’s not good conditional awareness. I haven’t been able to bonus for a while because my current goal is to upgrade a weapon 7 levels, but all my weapons were already maxed when I got the goal so I’m stuck. No way to move onto a different bonus challenge. Finally, the game doesn’t scale large enough. After hitting a certain level, you can prestige to start from the beginning with a point multiplier. The game caps at a x3750 multiplier, which is no more than 10 rounds of prestige. After hitting this, there’s no motivator to keep playing. ### 4/5 — To many ads *2019-02-27, version 1.1.0* Just to many ads ### 3/5 — Good but buggy *2019-02-15, version 1.1.0* One of the better idle clicker games. Ads are pretty minimal and gameplay generally keeps you entertained. However, this game has some serious bugs. 1) The first time I Prestiged I got stuck in a popup that gave me money. Every time I tapped close, it gave me more money and didn’t close. Definitely a bug that benefitted me as I got lots of coins, but a bug nonetheless. 2) After exiting and reopening the app one day, I noticed my money doesn’t increase after each kill. It stays the same unless I win extra money. 3) There have been times my money suddenly drops. By a lot. Not from upgrading, but from in the middle of gameplay some of my money disappeared. 4) This last time I opened the app, my level dropped from about 110 to 30. Still had the same cash and upgrades but now the game is boring because the guns kill everything pretty much on the spot. Which might not be too bad if I was actually getting the money from each kill like I’m suppose to. ### 2/5 — Eh *2019-02-14, version 1.1.0* If you like idle play this seems like a good game but in reality after you get high enough idle play literally grinds down to a halt. You don’t get much money even if you let it sit for days. Kind of seems like the levels you’ve already passed before you prestige actually get harder. Never really liked mindless tapping games and that’s pretty much what it turns in to. And don’t think you can use 4 fingers to do really fast tapping. It just won’t register. ### 4/5 — Ads are broken *2019-02-10, version 1.1.0* Great game! It’s so good that I’m here to complain the ads are broken. I’m stuck on one of the mini quests because I can’t watch an ad video. It’s an odd problem to have... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — dumb *2022-08-05, version 1.1.2* Extremely boring and repetitive. After the first 80 waves you just get stuck doing the same thing over and over again. For reference, I am currently stuck on wave 80(in the second round)because your supposed to play the level over and over again so much that you level up and finally win. Well guess what? I am not gonna sit down for 4 hours and do the same thing over and over again. There’s hundreds of other games much like this one with one difference. They are better. Go find them and play them instead of this crap. ### 1/5 — Suspicious *2022-08-04, version 1.1.2* Was enjoying this game for a while but I have abruptly decided to stop playing it due to suspicious activity. Upon launching, it requested data from my clipboard. There is no reason this game should ever need that. Ever. Buyer beware. ### 1/5 — Thanks for reading *2020-10-25, version 1.1.2* I really like this game. Uninstalled due to forced ads and no way to remove them. I would reinstall and rate much higher if the forced ads were removed either by making the ads manually activated on the users end for benefits or even a way to remove them for a dollar or something. ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-06-24, version 1.1.2* Ads ads and more ads. Seriously, stop having ads play right in the middle of a wave. I’ve lost count of how many times that when the ad is finished, the wave has failed. I don’t mind reward based ads, or even the occasional ad between waves, but at least pause the game while the ad plays. Update- I deleted the app. The ads interrupting game play are just too annoying. ### 1/5 — Random rewardless adds *2019-04-29, version 1.1.1* As the title shows the normal adds give you something useful and pause the game when you click on them. Then there are the random videos/game adds that don’t pause and kill what ever run you were going on. The offline is really the only way to make money now. You can’t just leave your phone on and grind because a random video will pop up and a new wave won’t start till you finish the video/add. It’s a good time waster tho. ### 1/5 — Requires age on launch *2019-03-29, version 1.1.1* Ew. This app requires your age on launch. There is no excuse for that. Also, none of the upgrades or anything really matter. Unless you tap on the screen during waves, you lose. So basically, have fun wasting your life tapping away! ### 1/5 — Need an update! *2019-03-25, version 1.1.1* Game could easily be 5 stars and I’m giving it a 1 star till the iPhone XS Max gets an update bc game keeps freezing and glitching out, none of the revive videos or add videos are working when you click the watch button the it has a load icon come up and then goes back to the game with no rewards given and the revive ad loads then nothing happens and when it does work on the revive add the game glitches out and stops working have to force close then reopen to play again ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-03-06, version 1.1.0* This game was a 5 star until today it stopped working. I tried refreshing my phone, restarting the app, everything......but still no luck. When I open the app it just freezes. What a shame, I’m deleting this app and giving it one star. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-02-12, version 1.1.0* Locked up a few times at the “while you were gone” reward. Game was running but would not respond to taps. Just been closing the app and restarting. This time, there is no more waves. The stars just float by and no enemies ever come. ### 1/5 — Potential, but deeply flawed. *2019-02-10, version 1.1.0* The only endless thing here are the commercials, even after just finishing a level. You can’t even buy-out on ads, since watching ads is the only way to even TRY to keep up. There is a prestige system, but you have to hit a certain level before you can. After a while, the levels are stupid hard, and your ship upgrades barely seem different. Disappointing and does not make me want to try harder. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it!!!!! *2019-05-18, version 1.1.1* I just love the animation and the graphics! Soo awesome I love Your games! But I want a shooting alien game I would Love that! Okay I love it keep up the good job ### 5/5 — Can’t watch ads *2019-04-24, version 1.1.1* This is a very good game I enjoy it very much but there is one issue I’ve found I can’t watch ads for extra coins or for the gifts please get this fixed 5/5 great game ### 5/5 — Good *2019-04-23, version 1.1.1* This game has potential, just limit the number of ad pop ups, though it would be cool if you can drag the ships to different locations on the screen ### 5/5 — Addictive as meth *2019-03-30, version 1.1.1* Fun game, mettle broken, too many ads ### 5/5 — I love it *2019-03-23, version 1.1.0* Best game ever especially the adds. You only have one you can instantly get out of the add. I love it and it’s just perfect. ### 5/5 — Two small things *2019-01-26, version 1.1.0* This game is great but adds pop up randomly but they aren’t videos so there not that bad and every ones and awhile the game freezes for a sec but it’s only when you youse multiple abilities so that’s a small bug and if you youse all 4 abilities it might crash so be careful but those are the only bugs I know about and the game is very addicting and fun I played it for like an hour so get this game right now and stop reading this then press download then wait......... then press open and have fun just be carful activating multiple abilities so bye and have fun ### 5/5 — It doesn’t bombard you with ads *2019-01-25, version 1.1.0* Thank you guys. ### 5/5 — Pleasantly Surprised *2019-01-25, version 1.1.0* I didn’t realize this was an idle game when I downloaded it, but it plays like any arcade space shooter. Music is on point, gameplay it fun and addicting. The “cut off” on the top of the screen that people are complaining about, appears to be room for banner ads, so it’s not overlapping on your HUD. So that’s actually quite generous of the devs, usually banner ads cover up important parts of the screen on games. I do wish you could pause the game, but it IS an idle game so it’s not too big of an issue. Overall, please download and see for yourself. ### 5/5 — Title *2019-01-24, version 1.1.0* Upgrade that level 60 freeze skill 3 times, equip it to all 4 ships, and you can perma-freeze any wave. ### 4/5 — Help? *2019-04-05, version 1.1.1* Awesome game but I can’t do the challenges because I need to upgrade any skill 7 times but all of mine are fully upgraded.
