### 5/5 — A Great game and a near Perfect Mobile Port!

*2025-07-07*

Simply put, one of the finest mobile ports of an action arcade game I have ever seen. All the content is there and it controls well, with support for controllers.

And to top it off, it’s Retro City Rampage. Have Fun!

### 4/5 — Update fixed major problem for Backbone users!

*2024-12-23*

Originally my review recently was a bit low because due to switching from a Moga controller to Backbone made it impossible to use the button for car jacking (instead it thought it was another pause button). I’m very satisfied with how fast the patch was applied after emailing the creator!

The only problem I found now is that occasionally the music goes silent especially for missions. Exiting to the main menu and starting the save again does not fix it. The only way I’ve ever seen to get resolved is by closing out the game entirely

### 5/5 — Update fixed major problem for Backbone users!

*2024-12-20*

Originally my review recently was a bit low because due to switching from a Moga controller to Backbone made it impossible to use the button for car jacking (instead it thought it was another pause button). I’m very satisfied with how fast the patch was applied after emailing the creator!

also I loved the response to the P.S. in the email. Here’s to hoping we might see it happen in the near future ;)

### 1/5 — Needs Backbone support

*2024-12-17*

I used to be able to play this game on a controller I don’t own anymore. The Backbone controller works really well for this game, but the biggest problem is you can’t press Y to enter vehicles. Instead it acts like a another pause button. I do hope that it gets a patch soon because the last one was about two weeks ago

### 5/5 — Retro GTA

*2024-12-16*

Einfach Hammer, tolles Spiel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Completed Game Review

*2024-11-23*

I remember running into this game on the 3Ds back when they had the whole Nintendo Eshop. I ended up buying this to see if my memory as a kid matches what I would feel about this game today… yep, still funny and still fun. The jokes and references are just rediculous kinda that slapstick humor on American Dad or Family guy. Just so many refrences and silliness while also maintaining a simple yet satisfying gameplay. My only critique is the game is rather short, and while they do have challenges around the world, most of them become repetitive and don’t really add anything of substance unless you’re a completionist. Besides that it’s a cute game with great humor but short. The world does have plenty of Easter eggs and challenges so if that suits your for sure it’s a grab, and if your just looking for a short great time, also a solid grab.

### 5/5 — Shakedown Hawaii
