### 1/5 — I hate your game

*2022-01-13, version 1.0.2*

Remove this game protect the planet from app store and google play

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2018-12-03, version 1.0.2*

This game shows the purpose of the moon there are so many rip off games showing the same idea what a great game

### 3/5 — Механика

*2018-11-21*

Скачал и удалил через 5 мин. Такая механика никуда не годится. Управлять абсолютно неудобно, неинтуитивно, набрал максимум 8. Допилите управление, чтобы увеличить играбельность. Сама концепция и графическое исполнение хороши. Удачи!

### 5/5 — Fã número um

*2017-11-30*

Lokoooo

### 5/5 — Проблемка с управленькой...

*2017-05-07*

Все круто, только сделайте так, чтобы ускорение было временным ( Допустим отдельная кнопка...). Ну, и конечно, достройте луну смерти!

### 4/5 — Сделайте игру более интересной

*2017-03-03*

Добавьте новые планеты, вселенные, а каждой луне добавьте свои способности

### 5/5 — Cool

*2016-07-09*

Сначала сложно привыкнуть к управлению, однако невероятно затягивает. Очень красивая игра. Случаются глюки, но терпимо. Скорее бы обновление с новыми спутниками

### 5/5 — KETCHAPP THE BEST !!!

*2016-06-02*

Как все игры этого производителей сделано на 5+

### 1/5 — Awful, Horrible Game

*2016-05-21, version 1.0.2*

This game is not fun at all and the controls are confusing. Please don't bother wasting your time on this stupid, useless app. If I could, I would give it 0 stars.

### 5/5 — Fun, could add a few things

*2016-05-07, version 1.0.2*

First, the planet should evolve to the space age. Second, you should be able to choose a planet to defend. Please make these changes. Also make the planet go to war. It would make the civilization seem more real.
