### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2024-10-04*

Nothing wrong with this on my iPhone SE v12.4.1

3D voxel objects as expected. 3D space re-orientation is an interesting feature. I made it to level 3 of 5 after ten minutes of ramming into things. Getting the hang of it now.

The Radar with heading control pad is useful. Options allow for no radar. Small app size is much appreciated.

I got it to see a demonstration of sprites made with your Voxel editor. It does that, plus it is an actual game. And it is free.

Maybe allow adding a custom level map from Voxel editor and a replacement ship sprite too. This would demo our creations in a game setting.

### 4/5 — voxel joy

*2022-02-12*

Nice, vaguely Zarch/Virus-flavoured game (albeit less free-form).  But seems to get too hard too quickly... 3D space is a little hard to navigate (altitude compared to other objects hard to judge).  Great idea though and... blocks are good.

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2018-05-14*

Trying to play this on iPhone X, and all the game elements disappear. Radar, speed up, slow down buttons, etc. are present but the actual game is blank/black screen. If I reset the app/close it and restart, I see the blue game screen for a second and it disappears again. Oh well, it was free.

### 3/5 — High quality but...

*2015-10-08*

Nice sound ,graphics, simplicity
and total quality.
Quest of dragon stage is nice.
In order to be excellent game, more 10 stage, and more by update.
And more easy, more comfortable controll.
Current controll of ship and view is take stress.
Comfortable controll must be needed.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2014-08-03*

一款不错的小型3D游戏

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2014-04-01*

This is the type of game I have been searching for!

### 4/5 — Nice Lo-Fi Shooter

*2013-11-09*

The game is nice but the controls need flipping. I'm used to using movement with my left finger, and I can't get past Lv. 4. BTW Thanks for supporting the iCade.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2013-09-28*

Horrid controls, and nothing works.

### 4/5 — Good Concept

*2013-03-14*

A lot of potential if the developer can put time and resource into it.

### 4/5 — Very fun, very glitchy

*2013-02-11*

The only reason I did not give * * * * * is because of all the crashes and glitches. Otherwise it is very fun.
