Un jeu avec un style année 80s très cool et avec une musique de fond a la space wave génial pour l’ambiance. Le jeu est le long un niveau dur 1h30 et c’est dur. Merci pour ce jeu. J’espère avoir des mise à jour. 👌👌

### 5/5 — Единственная игра на телефоне

*2020-02-04*

Это единственная игра которая у меня на телефоне уже около 3 лет , она не надоедает потому что все время можно улучшать результат по очкам , испытывать новое оружие и пробовать проходить с ним , роль жизней абсолютно бесполезна потому что если хочешь попасть в список победителей придётся проходить без потерь , я есть в списке победителей 🤘🏼

### 1/5 — No longer works with the latest iOS 14.5 update

*2021-04-29, version 3.33.0*

Awesome game, been playing it forever.
As of 14.5 iOS update the game no longer loads and displays that the developer of this game needs to update the game. 

Please update the game.

### 1/5 — IOS 8 update needed

*2014-09-28, version 3.16.3*

Love this game, really do. One of the best time killers on the App Store. That said, an app that won't start on iOS 8 is an app that gets one star for now.

### 1/5 — Won't Open

*2014-09-26, version 3.16.3*

I've seen my friends playing this and it looks really fun but when I tried to download and play it the game won't load, and I have a fairly new iPhone 5s. Maybe it's the new iOS update, or something else but you may want to check that out and fix it.

### 1/5 — Boo

*2014-09-19, version 3.16.3*

This game doesn't work with iOS 8. Kinda disappointed

### 1/5 — Crashes on Ipod Touch 3rd Gen

*2013-03-04, version 3.13.4*

Please fix this.  I love this game and really want to be able to play it again.  Crashes on both ios 4 and 5.

### 1/5 — Update ruined it

*2011-02-13, version 3.3*

Since updating and beginning a story I get black screen after start up.

### 1/5 — クソゲー

*2010-11-20*

つまらん。単調。理不尽。

### 1/5 — BORINGGG!!!!!!

*2010-11-20, version 0*

This game is completly boring because it's free people are gonna buy it but I have already deleted it. It's no use just keeping it, it's a waste of space and completly useless.... BORING

### 1/5 — Dated

*2010-11-19, version 0*

Fun 4 maybe 2 mins. Have deleted it already

### 1/5 — 2nd boss annoying

*2010-11-19, version 0*

Impossible to avoid missles if you upgraded the wrong gun. Don't think it was play tested.

### 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

### 5/5 — Radiant
