### 5/5 — Forgotten game

*2026-08-17, version 2.2.0*

I know that this game is never probably getting updated again, but I have no complaints. But it would’ve been better if after level 100 there was a sandbox where you could just do whatever the flip you want… that would really make this game peak, especially with the extension pack.

### 1/5 — Incroyable mais

*2026-07-31*

Donner des nouvelles armes pour les nouveaux joueurs
Et il faut que ce soit gratuit 
Il vous font payer 💰 
Pour rien

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-07-11, version 2.2.0*

Great game, would come back to it. The only annoying thing is that you have to pay to unlock the full game but it is worth it

### 5/5 — PLEASE

*2026-05-22, version 2.2.0*

For the love of god don’t leave us hanging

### 5/5 — My favorite game, like ever on a phone

*2026-04-05, version 2.2.0*

If you’re thinking about purchasing the full version, do it. I just finished the campaign, and it took me 16 hours. I think the 6.00 USD was worth it. 
This game is excellent on every single level, from the story, to the gameplay, to the ascetic, virtually perfect. I’d highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — The worst game of my life

*2026-03-18, version 2.2.0*

Waste of my time

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-03-06*

Игра очень затягивает, нет надоедливой рекламы даже бесплатной части. Очень надеюсь что разработчики не забросят этот проект, и надеюсь что подобных качественных игр будет больше

### 5/5 — Awesome game, similar to Battle cruisers

*2026-02-07, version 2.2.0*

Great game so far. I think you should add pvp so me and my friend can play against each other. Pretty please 🙏
