### 4/5 — Peak

*2026-05-31*

Audio doesnt work tho

### 5/5 — Nice game but needs an update

*2025-05-28, version 3.33.0*

The game is very entertaining but needs an update. There’s no music when I used headphones

### 5/5 — Simpel und perfekt

*2025-05-27*

Nix auszusetzen

### 5/5 — Still holds up

*2024-12-11, version 3.33.0*

Better than all the new apps/games 
No in-app items 
All fun no filler

### 5/5 — Perfect game

*2024-06-30, version 3.33.0*

I’ve had this game on every smart phone I’ve ever had, so at least 15 years now. It’s so satisfying to play! The sounds, the colors, and especially the blissful lack of ads. Thanks for keeping it updated all this time!

### 5/5 — よい

*2024-01-04*

面白い

### 5/5 — Лучше нету

*2023-02-05*

Искал аналоги, лучше этой игры не нашёл. Проходил несколько раз на всех уровнях сложности. Жаль, что на новых устройствах вылетает периодически. Играть можно, но всё равно хотелось бы оптимизации. Неужели разработчик никогда не сделает такого подарка?

### 5/5 — Хах

*2022-11-11*

Игра прикольная, добавьте только оптимизацию на iPhone с челкой .Купил игру из недр AppStore поднялась на 24 место в топ казуалок хах.

### 5/5 — SoirEkim: My challenge to all players…

*2022-10-01, version 3.33.0*

Well, it’s more like a challenge for myself… I wanted to see if the missions could be completed using only one weapon. After I complete all missions each with a unique weapon I’ll update this review…

Love that this game is compatible with both Microsoft’s X Box One S and Sony’s PlayStation 4 wireless controllers through Bluetooth connectivity. May also be compatible with iOS wireless controllers but why buy that when I have two others to chose from?

Would love to see more missions released to continue the story line even though… (Sorry, No Spoiler) …you’ll just have to play to see what happens.

Great way to burn time. Especially for those who grind to advance on the leader boards.  See you there…

### 5/5 — I love this game!!!

*2022-06-13, version 3.33.0*

I love this game and I hope they add more updates soon. I highly recommend this game to everyone
