### 5/5 — It’s so accurate and responsive

*2025-08-22*

I love it. It’s like a rare gem within all these apps, but it’s really short. I think you guys have it if you add five more levels.

**Developer response:** Thank you, we're very glad you liked it. We didn't want to add new levels unless each was sufficiently unique and interesting, and unfortunately ran out of time before we could meet that goal. Hopefully for a future version.

### 5/5 — 就是撞墙扣血也太多了了点ರ_ರ

*2025-07-09*

非常好玩

**Developer response:** 谢谢，我们很高兴你喜欢它。

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2025-03-27*

Just loose the gravity. It is already very hard to stay alive with touch controls so having the ship just stop kinda like pixeljunk shooter would be better. (After reading some reviews i switched to easy mode) Easy mode should be default starting mode. I was able to get MUCH further and enjoy the game. Maybe reduce acceleration if you are accelerating towards a wall.

### 5/5 — Old School fun!

*2025-02-18, version 1.4.28*

Love it. Simple, decent controls, tidy graphics - takes me back to “Gravitar” for anyone who remembers that little gem from coin-slot days. Seems genuinely free… no ads or up-sells at all (yet anyway) so a big thanks to the devs for a neat little old-school shooter.

### 5/5 — Tough game add arcade mode

*2025-02-04*

Would like a mode where the weapons are permanent and you have shops to use crystals.

### 5/5 — This game is legit fun

*2025-02-02*

Especially with a controller. Dirty progresses nice. Hard to master the controls initially but satisfying when you do. Hope to see it continue to develop

### 5/5 — 很好的小游戏

### 2/5 — How to play?

*2025-01-01*

How do I fly ? No instructions. Contact doesn't work too due to construct sheet. Huh?

### 4/5 — 这个游戏做得不错

*2024-12-30*

一款冷门佳作，设计和手感都挺好的，但有一个问题需要处理在ipad9(ios16.1.1)上运行没有任何声音：）
