### 5/5 — Best time

*2025-09-06, version 1.1.3*

I played this game once.Now I want to play and it hard to impress a gamer like me.This game can really give me the best experience in and out of the game.Excepting new and innovative ideas later.

### 5/5 — Panic at

*2025-07-24, version 1.1.2*

It a good game

### 5/5 — It’s cool but…

*2025-07-01, version 1.1.0*

There’s a glitch for me we’re I can’t play passed the mission with the towers it would bug and I could play

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.9*

Not sure what the issue is but every time I load in it’s just a black screen the entire time. I can hear the first cutscene I’m guessing but don’t see anything and it doesn’t change. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but failed to work.

### 5/5 — New update feels smooth

*2025-06-23, version 1.0.9*

Getting better at the movement and looks like the added an auto lock for shooting, I like how fun the story line is and I’m trying to not be a strict shotgun user. Does the game also work with the 0.5 camera?

### 5/5 — Add no camera mode

*2025-06-23, version 1.0.9*

I like to play this game when I’m out or have a little extra time but can’t play most of the time because I have to stay in the same spot for the camera , if you added a no camera mode where it’s its own little background like Pokémon go’s I’d be able to play it in the car, in the store ,etc. because when I am at home and do have time there’s better games and consoles to play.

### 5/5 — Love this game

I saw this game on an ad and thought it looked neat so I downloaded it and when I open it I’m shown a loading screeen then the opening audio treated with a black screen and then just silence

### 5/5 — Want people to download just so it can grow
