Definitely a good game, but not a game I'd keep for a long time ### 3/5 — Gettin' Scurvy *2013-03-09* Saw this app for free on a free app of the site. It is similar to a game I used to play so I downloaded it. I didn't look at the other reviews first and didn't realize that this paid version has banner ads in it. A total battery drain and distraction. The game itself is fun but LOSE THE ADS !!! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars for Add'l Levels *2013-01-20* Enjoyable game. Needs some work on the grammar, especially when there is an accidental curse word (dam*) instead of the intended word. And my seven year was able to read and understand it. So it goes these days. ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-01-05, version 1.7* I like it, lots of fun ### 5/5 — very good *2013-01-03, version 1.7* works well ### 5/5 — Pirate *2012-12-31, version 1.7* Great,puzzle game.You'll love it! ### 4/5 — Great cannon game *2012-12-28, version 1.7* Good game, Great power ups, And great game mode. If you like strategy games you're going to love this. ### 5/5 — J *2012-12-24, version 1.7* Awesome game! Very exciting when trying to race against the incoming volley of cannonballs ### 5/5 — Vraiment bien *2012-12-13* Tbien ### 4/5 — Child friendly. *2012-12-02, version 1.7* This is good for small children. It introduces them to pirates maybe you could make it so they have a little pirate character hey can unlock clothes for as they get farther. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugged game *2015-01-13, version 1.7* Looked interesting, but continue dialog box bugged in both modes on my iPhone 5 and never passed the intro ### 1/5 — Freezes after every single successful puzze. *2014-12-29, version 1.7* The game freezes after every success. This makes this game useless.. Developers should do their due diligence before charging and releasing games to the public. ### 1/5 — Broken *2014-10-22, version 1.7* The game is broken. I can't click after you get the silver coin achievement in story nor can I play puzzle. Please fix this NOW! ### 1/5 — Stop aux pubs!!! *2013-03-03* Bon jeu mais gâché par un flux incessant de publicités... Est ce normal que même avec la version payante, nous ayons encore autant de publicités??? Rien que pour ce détail énervant, je désinstalle le jeu et je ne mets qu'une étoile! ### 1/5 — No more push notifications! *2012-09-26, version 1.7* It asked to send me push notes, I said no. I went to my phone settings and made sure it was disabled. It sent them anyway. The game itself is ok, but it's too bad the developers have no respect for their users. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE! *2012-09-23, version 1.7* Banner ads -DELETED! ### 1/5 — Need to rework "difficulty" for crying out loud, you simply can't win! *2012-08-02* Great game, if the dev manages to get over punishing the players by giving them absolutely useless pieces in later stages and rendering the game unwinnable (stages19+ are impossible unless you somehow lucked out, somehow.) Difficulty isn't about making the players do nothing, it's making the players do more work, be more perfect, but they are still able to do the same things as before. More hp for the players to take down, a certain condition (x combo) for clearing, but not trap the player in a completely unusable stage and 30 second lockout. Reduce the useless fuse ends to 15-20 secs, or put a button that clears all useless fuse end and give that a cool down timer, either seconds or shot requirement. Needs to actually play the game all the way through yourself more, luck isn't useful when it's all rigged in the AI's favor since they deal instant damage while you have to wait for the cannonballs to fly over. And make sure notifications are actually turned off if users choose it, or if there isn't an option yet, add it. Also remove the full sized ads that pops up in the main menu, it's intrusive and annoying and causes more negative feelings than help sell more products. I for one won't be trying Empire Online due to your intrusive ad placements. Looks like the full-sized ads are replaced with ads at top and bottom of the screen, less annoying but still feel just as greedy, the game is still not balanced, get that fixed and more people might actually want to keep playing for longer. ### 1/5 — Pretty good until later in the game *2012-03-04* This game is good except the puzzles do not give you enough variety of fuses sometimes , so you have almost all 90 degree fuses or too many burnt fuses preventing a number of combinations on one single turn. ### 1/5 — Poorly developed, becomes unplayable *2012-02-21* I breezed through the first 13 levels but now on 14+ and the game only gives me 90deg fuses and broken fuses. Makes it very unsatisfying and basically almost impossible to win. The earlier levels were fun though, shame. ### 1/5 — k *2012-02-16, version 1.4* there's no point ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So glad it’s still working *2019-06-15* One of my favourite games on iPhone4. ### 5/5 — Memories are back *2014-03-11* I had this game on my first phone 3 years ago! It was easily one of my favorite games but when I found we had to erase my memory and the game I was heart broken, now I have the game and playing it as much as I used to ### 5/5 — cool *2013-08-17, version 1.7* so cool ### 5/5 — good game *2013-07-20, version 1.7* o k ### 5/5 — Boum *2013-07-01* Très bien réalisé, l ambiance pirate est au top et pour une fois pas pompée sur les caraibian's pirates ### 5/5 — I just love it *2013-05-11* To fun act 8 is so hard but I did it I just love it ### 5/5 — Pirate gunner hd *2013-03-31* Lots of fun, keeps me coming back for more ### 5/5 — Good fun! *2013-03-30, version 1.7* Good fun game. A fun way to waste a few hours!!! ### 5/5 — Very Entertaining & Great Fun *2013-03-30* Fantastic game and there is something new and different with this game compared to all the other games on iTunes. Five Stars ...… ### 5/5 — Good *2013-03-18, version 1.7* The ship needs longer health --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
