### 1/5 — Exploded after a few seconds

*2021-12-03, version 1.0.1*

Not sure what I am going wrong with this game but the rover just explodes after a few seconds with no reason why

### 1/5 — Compatibility issue

*2020-02-28, version 1.0.1*

It does not fit on the iPhone XR screen properly making it unplayable..

### 1/5 — Does not render properly on newer phones

*2019-06-16, version 1.0.1*

Does not render properly on newer phones - can’t see all of the screen.

### 2/5 — Schwer zu steuern

*2025-07-04, version 1.0.1*

Schwer zu steuern, sehr umständlich gerade mit Sprüngen, schade

### 2/5 — Please...

*2016-06-29, version 1.0.1*

Can you give us the option to jump by just taping the screen.

Leave the swapping to move forth and backwards, but make it jump by taping.

This will make it more true to the original.

Also, add mfi controller support?

### 2/5 — Jumping craters is weird

*2016-01-11, version 1.0.1*

This game is similar to the old arcade game Moon Patrol, only not nearly as fun. The biggest problem: when you swipe upward with your left thumb to jump over craters, the angle of your swipe can make the vehicle change speed and direction in the air, causing your vehicle to land in a crater that you should have jumped successfully, or get hit by a bomb that should have missed.

### 3/5 — RickyG

*2019-03-13, version 1.0.1*

Almost as fun as original Moon Patrol... BUT, as far as I can tell, you never run out of lives!!  ...that causes you to be less competitive!  I hope you guys add a ‘3 lives and you’re out’ (unless u reach target) trigger to the game.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-11-23, version 1.0.1*

What a great version of the arcade classic Moon Patrol. The game play is great. I can’t stop playing it.

### 5/5 — Echt cool

*2023-02-10, version 1.0.1*

Super Game das Erinnerungen weckt! Vielen Dank!

### 5/5 — Blast to the Past!

*2021-12-30, version 1.0.1*

Played the orginal as a kid in arcades and your version is fun on my iPhone. Anyone who likes the original will love this new Pluto pasttime.

### 5/5 — Retro perfect

*2021-02-21, version 1.0.1*

Love this just one wish that the original music could be put on the game :)

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-07-29, version 1.0.1*

As a guy who played the original in the arcades back in the early 80s you did a fantastic job on this app game. How about doing the game Spectre? i’ll send you $20 for this game if you tell me how. Great Job!

### 5/5 — Frustratingly fun

*2020-04-27, version 1.0.1*

As stated by the author.  Moon patrol, the greatest game of all time.  This variant is just as frustrating and just as fun.  Thank you for putting this together.  Brings back memories.

### 5/5 — Coole Umsetzung des Original

*2020-03-23, version 1.0.1*

Hoher Schwierigkeitsgrad, gute Haptik. Mir macht das Spiel Spaß.
Danke!

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2020-03-03, version 1.0.1*

Just like Moon Patrol! But feels better, nice work!

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel...

*2018-09-03, version 1.0.1*

Das Spiel fängt die Stimmung des Klassikers Moon Patrol gekonnt ein - ist jedoch deutlich schwieriger und schneller zu spielen. Wunderbar!
P.S. Coole Musik!

### 5/5 — Whimsical and fun!

*2017-08-31, version 1.0.1*

I usually do not enjoy games but this one made me laugh out loud. Harder than it looks. I like it.
