Suggestions: Multiplayer and more weapon customization parts. Overall emoticon Score: 😄 ### 4/5 — Meh *2014-09-23* Good game but after or close too wave three hundred it crashes as a result my highest score was recorded at forty five thousand (top20) but really I had close to sixty thousand and the monsters stop coming completely this happened a handful of times and I'm a little disappointed cause instead of being too twenty I could be top five or one I mean I went to fifty k without loosing one troop or sand bag but then monsters stop coming and it so frustratingly sad so i won't be playing this anymore :( ### 4/5 — One problem *2014-07-21* I love this game the multiple gun combinations all the way down to the turning point in the last 3 levels. My only problem is that after the 214 wave in ice base survival, all the enemies stopped spawning so I had to exit. And the worst part: I was credited with nothing! I earned over 30,000 credits just to have it taken away! ### 5/5 — Hooked. *2014-07-14* What I really like is the entertaining detail they put in the description of each weapon. It needs more updates, or even better a sequel, where they add up more features. ### 5/5 — This Game Is Awesome, Still Needs Some New Updates. *2014-03-15* Dear Cole-Powered Games, Planet Wars is the best Shooter-Strategy indie game ever made, Its like Starship Troopers meets Angry Birds. Well done, but however, recent reports of glitches & bugs in this game, must be taken into account. When I play a level in either Main Campaign Mode or Survival Mode, the game both freezes and crashes, please fix this terrible in-game flaw. Please also enable the support for Bluetooth/IOS7, D-Pad Controller Hardware, in the Option section within the Main Menu screen. Including this new option will give players a better choice in which way they would like to play the game, without having to only rely on a touch screen controller, known as Control Sticks. I pray you'll have the chance to take care of this big problem that the game Planet Wars is facing. Thank You and Good Luck! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2014-01-22* I love this game! I wish there were more games like this! I love how the game looks drawn, but well drawn, I also love the enemies you face, and the set up you given; in some levels to defend from enemy hordes. Love the weapons and abilities you get if you want, I have just beaten the game hope they come out with a new version and keep the same format, and fighting style, but with more aliens and maybe with new units, and be able to play co-op with a friend! That would be the best! Wish there were more games like this! Thanks for the great game! ### 5/5 — Great game but missing a mode *2014-01-04* This game is really good but Xbox 360 one is better at least you can play multiplayer can you please cause gamecenter supports 4 players and you put gamecenter support on the awsome game but I hope you don't give up too soon ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2013-12-27, version 1.34* Add more fun stuff plz ### 5/5 — good *2013-12-23, version 1.34* one of the best games ever ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-11-10, version 1.34* This game is amazing. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2013-09-19, version 1.34* Pls, make second part or more lvls in single! ### 4/5 — Good! *2013-09-07, version 1.34* Everything is very good.

The game does not refresh on screen at all! I can hear the music and when clicking it does not show the next frame, the screen goes black. I can't play this game until it gets fixed!! ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of 99c!!! *2011-11-07, version 1.0* I love supporting indie developers but I am frequently disappointed! This is one of those times. This is more a comic than a game. It has no sound and it frequently gets stuck! There is absolutely no incentive to keep playing. Save your dollar. I wish I had! ### 2/5 — Eh *2014-04-17, version 1.34* I gave two stars for effort. This game is really slow moving and a boring shooter. I honestly wouldn't recommend. ### 2/5 — Good but stupid *2013-07-14, version 1.34* Good game but crashes unless I am on the internet. STUPID!!!! ### 2/5 — Why can't I play MY music *2013-06-29, version 1.34* So this overall a fun game except it refuses to me play my music, which is downright silly because I never encounter another app that does that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game but if you see this (multiplayer pls) *2022-10-04, version 1.35* This game is a hidden gem but it would be SOOO FUN if we had multiplayer and maybe some more enemy variety. Other than that 10/10 5 stars ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-11-25, version 1.35* It’s a damn good game. Sad to see the company didn’t make anything else like this after all this time ### 5/5 — Perfect *2018-12-27* Only one complaint it ended (mic drop) ### 5/5 — Didn’t want it to end *2018-03-19* This is a great game. Well written good art the right pacing for upgrades and challenges. The only problem was I didn’t want the story to end. ### 5/5 — AWESOME! *2018-02-04* Great game but I would love it if you added a multiplayer survival mode and some other content like more abilities and aliens. Other than that the game is perfect! ### 5/5 — This game is amazing *2018-01-23* I loved this game science I was four people underestimate this game ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-01-22, version 1.35* Keep up the good work!!!😁👍 ### 5/5 — Lone old times *2017-08-05, version 1.35* I remembered this game!
