When I go to settings I can’t turn on sound maybe because I’m playing as a guest player please respond if can ### 3/5 — Needs more customization *2025-11-12* Please just add more logos and jerseys otherwise I love this game ### 4/5 — 🥹😆😝😆😛😞😏😏😏😏😏😏😜😜😎 *2025-07-20* Great game ### 3/5 — Very hard controls😡😡😡 *2025-01-02* The game is good and all, but the controls need to be fixed. First off, I can’t complete a pass, and defense is hard to play as because the joystick doesn’t move freely. Then I want a actual tutorial, because the “tutorial “ isn’t helpful at all, and it never tells you how to catch, so please make some changes with the game controls. ### 2/5 — Can’t catch *2024-12-07* Honest review i would absolutely love this game if my receivers and corners could catch the ball update that and you’ll have a top game, everything else is literally perfect except when my game has a step and is on the circle it still says incomplete pass ### 4/5 — Great game but…. *2024-11-23, version 1.41* Great game, but how do you catch?I pass it to the Wr and it is an incomplete pass.So where is the button to catch?Everything else though is great!The retro style, controls, and super cool,and really easy. ### 2/5 — When you throw the ball the receivers don’t catch it?! *2024-11-19, version 1.41* Every time when I would try to throw the ball the receivers will not catch it. ### 4/5 — This game has so much potential *2024-11-09, version 1.41* This game could be so much more funnier if I could catch ### 3/5 — I like this game *2024-11-06, version 1.41* i like it but why can my receivers not catch? is it a problem where i need to tap? i js let it go to him and he always drops it. i have a level 3 who never catches the ball ### 3/5 — All good except for passing *2024-09-13* If you could pass it from the start then it would be a way better version of retro bowl please fix it so the game will be better to play for fun ### 3/5 — Only 2 problems *2024-08-20* My receivers never catch the ball idk if there’s a button I’m supposed to press or not 2 is I feel like there’s not enough customization maybe add alts and color rushs and a few more logos and besides that it can compete with retro bowl ### 4/5 — Game is good *2024-05-17, version 1.41* This game is good but it needs some fixes. I can’t catch in this game even if I upgrade my Wr. I would love if there was a punt return button. But besides that, this game is good. ### 3/5 — Do passes even work *2024-01-09, version 1.32* I had a open player at one point and for some reason he dropped every easy pass I gave him ### 4/5 — Good *2024-01-01, version 1.32* Good but don’t no how catch ### 2/5 — Can’t catch *2023-12-09, version 1.32* Is there a certain button to catch the ball I’ve thrown it many times most of my passes have been accurate and they are just incomplete ### 2/5 — Average *2023-12-03, version 1.32* This is a fun game but once your receivers go’s down field you can’t see them and it makes completing a pass hard and every play the other team runs is a run play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-01-09* This game was bad ### 1/5 — How to catch? *2025-11-05* The game is fun and easy to pass and run but my receivers never catch the ball is there any button to catch? ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-09-18* Wish I woulda never downloaded every throw is a incompletion ### 1/5 — Gameplay and Menu *2024-12-31* This game is so bad DO NOT INSTALL IT. Everytime I threw a dot or dime to my teammate it would say INTERCEPTION. The teams sound like middle school football teams and your updates didn’t work or help the game with anything. ONE STAR.. ### 1/5 — How do you play *2024-11-11, version 1.41* The first time I saw this game it looked fun but it doesn’t show you half of the rules so every play on special teams and offense is A penalty ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-09-06, version 1.41* The game is horrible like I hate the game. I can’t even get the ball completed to my receivers ain’t trying to make you mad or just man it is trash ### 1/5 — Wouldnt register me? *2024-02-01* I put in everything and tried to login and it said it could not find my account? Wouldnt log me in… i guess its just cacheing our info and emails I believe they are a front for harvesting your data… and stealing your info… none of the reviews are in complete english… all broken as if from a speak to type system… the game is a front and it doesn't work, once they have ur email its game over… and it truly is as ur game doesn't work… your web site says its an individually owned software company… for what? 3 games? **Developer response:** Hello, If you email shenaniganzstudio@gmail.com I can help you resolve this issue. Thanks for playing! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-11-16, version 1.32* The game doesn’t tell you how to play and you can never throw right the game didn’t last a day ### 1/5 — What is this game 💀 *2023-10-31, version 1.31* It’s basically just a terrible version of retro bowl ### 1/5 — Wouldnt register me? *2023-09-16* I put in everything and tried to login and it said it could not find my account? Wouldnt log me in… i guess its just cacheing our info and emails **Developer response:** Hello, If you email shenaniganzstudio@gmail.com I can help you resolve this issue. Thanks for playing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME HAS POTENTIAL TO BE BETTER THAN RETRO BOWL *2025-09-19* great game like said in the title needs a little work like the buttons and stuff maybe add a training mode like madden so new players such as myself could learn the buttons but thats it if these things are added this game will be better than retro bowl. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-11-28* Gameplay on point I just feel like it is a little bit difficult to pass the ball but I’m having fun playing the game and I'm getting pretty good at it But for some reason it won’t verify my email or send me a verification email and I would really like to play the multiplayer ### 5/5 — Catching the ball *2024-09-15, version 1.41* Don’t know how to catch the ball on mobile ### 5/5 — Five stars I’m just dumb and need help *2024-01-02* I’m hey great game um first things first how do you catch either I’m dumb and the button to catch is literally on screen or can you reload my game. Second thing when I try to make an account it always just doesn’t load it stuck on the loading screen so I have to use a guest account but amazing game I love the extra movement unlike retro bowl where either you have to “juke the player” or go head on because you can only swipe to dive or go up and down their is no controller stick. Plz respond when you have time thank you. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I have a new update coming soon that should address some of these issues you've been seeing. Don't forget to upgrade your players in the Team Manager ### 5/5 — Hello *2023-11-26* Hey man I am stuck on the loading screen and I’ve always wanted to play this game can you maybe help me out. Respond when or if you you have the time great game just stuck on loading screen. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2023-11-21, version 1.32* It’s too easy for me and my QB can runs for a touchdown make someone needs to catch the ball ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-12-11* It’s so great but there’s still a problem with the clock for the quarters because when it hit 0:00 if some does something that stops the clock it stays in that quarter with no time left. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The clock issue is currently being handled and should be fixed in the next update, coming soon! ### 5/5 — New rating *2022-12-04* I love this game I like that receiver catching has been fixed but I hate that on defense the. Other team always runs the ball and if the running back gets just a little space it's a one play touchdown **Developer response:** Thanks for the info Jacob. Each prebuilt team has a "tendency", so their game play is slightly different in each game (for example, some will run more than throw, vice versa, and some are more balanced). Your tendencies are recorded as well, and the AI will react to them. Fore example, if call a run play too many times, the defense will react and call a "run-stop" play. When you are on defense, the AI offense will read your tendencies and call the opposite play. For example, if you always call a zone defense with no blitzing, the AI will run the ball more. Try mixing up your gameplay style, and hopefully you'll be more successful! ### 5/5 — Pretty good game *2022-11-26, version 1.11* Has that classic graphics look, one of the best games I’ve played ### 5/5 — Throw Back! *2022-11-21, version 1.09* This game reminds me of Techmo Super Bowl! If this is just the start these devs can take this to the moon, baby. Awesome game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
