### 4/5 — 注册完账号之后不断闪退

*2024-10-06*

Although this game is very good, please tell me why. If the developer can't give me a reasonable explanation, I can't do anything.

**Developer response:** The new version should fix the issue you were having. If not, please comment again.

### 4/5 — Game breaking bug

*2024-10-05*

Game was working fine until i made an account. Now it refuses to open. Before that it worked fine… 
Dev pls fix

**Developer response:** I updated the synchronization code, and introduced a bug :-(

I pushed a new version that should fix this issue.

### 4/5 — Отзыв

*2023-02-13, version 0.4.113*

Игра конечно крутая, но очень сильно не хватает кадров неуязвимости (их вообще нет), а то сразу 2 щита может снести одна вражеская пулька. Касание врага при этом вообще убивает с одного раза.

### 4/5 — Really Really Good

*2022-12-25*

One of the bests but needs controller support on iOS!

### 4/5 — Amazing but has a few bugs

*2022-03-11*

The game is truly amazing however there are certain bugs-

1. App crashes when synchronising
2. App crashes when starting multiplayer game

### 4/5 — Controllers please

*2021-10-31*

Make it so!

### 5/5 — Amazing game, only missing one thing.

*2021-05-20*

This is a great game. Lots of fun, incredibly replayable. The only thing its missing is simply controller support, and this would be a perfect game.

### 5/5 — Can’t make a level!

*2021-05-20*

So everything else is perfect, the customization, and the colors. But I can’t figure out how to make a level. PS. I play the game on iOS.

### 5/5 — Congrats

*2021-05-19, version 0.4.113*

The game is amazing! I just install it and is really fun but also hard

### 4/5 — Really fun game but...

*2021-05-19, version 0.4.113*

-The App Icon doesn’t look very nice, I know this sounds trivial but I think just the yellow spaceship you play as on the space backround in the game would look 100x better on my homescreen.

-The auto pause feature is kind of annoying on touch screen so it would be nice if it was toggle-able

-level selection is very limited but even still I can see this game being incredible with the community levels and experimental levels

This is definitely finding it’s place among my pick-up and play arcade games but it can better!

### 5/5 — Geometry Wars!

*2021-05-18, version 0.4.113*

Great game. Just hoping there may be controller support in future update. While it works, touch screen just isn’t as precise as I would like personally. But for what it is, still gets 5 stars.  Thank you.

### 1/5 — Multiplayer doesn’t work

*2026-04-12*

Tried this game and was a waste. Looked cool but half of the features do not work. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — 。

*2025-03-09*

1:联机房开始游戏后闪退 2:登录后查看游戏录像闪退 3:帐号密码忘记了无法找回

**Developer response:** The new version should fix the issue you were having. If not, please comment again.

### 1/5 — unplayable after update

*2024-10-01*

hey! just came here from the original pew pew i used to play as a kid over 10 years ago. I know you just released a new update, hope u see this. I’m playing on a new iphone and joysticks don’t appear, even after messing with ui settings for a good chunk of time. only moves the player character to the left and shoots to the right no matter where i touch on the screen. i fully intend to remove this review. just didn’t know how else to speak to dev

**Developer response:** Hi,
I'm really sorry for this bug, I fixed it as soon as I discovered it.

The latest version should be OK now.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-04-14*

Local multiplayer shows no room. 
Online multiplayer crashes as soon as the game starts.

### 1/5 — Controls don’t work…

*2024-01-15*

The touch screen controls don’t work on iPhone. Someone really should fix this to make the game playable for Apple users.

**Developer response:** Game should be fixed now!

### 1/5 — Controls don’t work for iPhone 13

*2023-08-23*

I want to like this game. It looks really cool, but I can’t get the controls/joysticks to work properly. The left joystick only moves left and the right stick only moves right, making the game unplayable. If someone can fix this I’d be more than happy to raise the rating.

### 1/5 — Screen controls not working

*2022-09-13*

On iPad Air 5. Original Pew Pew works fine though

### 1/5 — Unusable on iPad mini 6

*2021-11-13*

Can’t use touchscreen controls at all

### 3/5 — Fun gameplay but misleading subtitle

*2021-05-20*

The subtitle of this game is that you can create your own levels, while that is true, it’s not your run-of-the-mill level creator. You need to code your own levels. I would appreciate it if it said “code your own levels” instead. Apart from this, it is pretty fun

### 3/5 — Xbox controller support.

*2021-05-03, version 0.4.113*

This seems really great but can it really be it doesn’t support actual joysticks?

I’ve attempted the touch controls but it’s pretty horrible on the iPad trying to stretch across the screen.

No idea how to score this. Deserves 5 stars but I just can’t play it.

### 5/5 — Для слабых телефонов самое то!

*2025-09-16, version 0.9.237*

Крутая игра

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-03*

Very fun to play, happy there is such game on mobile. Easy to pick up yet still challenging. 
 I have sensitive eyes and I wish there was an option to change background color because the objects contrast strongly with the black background. (maybe gray or bluish-black color would be better)
 Still, I like this game very much!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review :-)

Regarding changing the background color, there is such a setting though admittedly it's not easy to find.
The path to get to the setting is: Settings > Graphics > Background Hue

### 5/5 — 。

游戏录像多看几次还是会闪退

### 5/5 — Aweome game

*2023-04-17, version 0.4.113*

Overall a great game and it doesn’t consume a lot of battery. It runs really smoothly.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-02-25, version 0.4.113*

Mannnn I've tried to find this game so damn long cause I wasn't remember the name of the game. Thank you for still keeping it and update the new version. pew pew and pew pew 2 is a part of my childhood.

### 5/5 — Ouf de nouveau là !

*2022-08-27*

Après avoir disparu du store Pewpew live fait son retour ! Terriblement addictif, jeu hyper exigeant… gratuit… Il y a des expériences vidéo ludique qui méritent qu’on s’y attarde. Pewpew et Pewpew live en font partie. Quel dommage qu’il n’existe pas une version physique… peut-être un jour sur swith ? ^ _ ^

### 5/5 — Pew pew pew

*2021-06-01*

I love the retro neon and futuristic design of this game. It really makes the most out of the classic arcade gameplay style as well. The community maps is definitely good expansion to the game and I promise you will never get bored in this game. Only thing is my eyes get sore and water from all the flashing lights and stuff🥲.

### 5/5 — Top game

*2021-05-28, version 0.4.113*

The graphics are really good looking and smooth, and it's a really good game in general

### 5/5 — Good but not enough

*2021-05-27, version 0.4.113*

Its a very good game and i appreciate it, but you should let maximum 4 players in 1 multiplayer game, because some modes can be difficult
