### 1/5 — Seems fun but….

*2025-01-20, version 24.1.19*

Really poor controls and character is not responsive. Next time hire better developers.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2024-08-29, version 24.1.19*

This used to be a great game at the beginning, but as time goes by they have stopped updating and now there are so many bugs— hanging and crashing.  Have to delete it but what a shame.

### 4/5 — Amazing game but a little laggy.

*2023-12-27, version 24.1.19*

Great game my son loves it but it is a little glitchy. Overall great game!

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2023-12-16, version 24.1.19*

Love this game! I saw someone saying it was glitchy but it hasn’t been at all for me. About 7 hours playtime. I wish there was teams or more play modes. Team deathmatch or capture the flag would be cool.

### 4/5 — Quick bits of fun!

*2023-11-29, version 24.1.19*

Would love to see how far this game can go! Maybe purchase store later on to help fund it and would be awesome if it was online not just against bots.

Lots of bugs still like loosing connection (my internet is crazy fast not on my end) and things annoying like the Jagged spear boat skins do not load in game especially it is the most expensive lol

Would be awesome to adjust more controls or at least ability to look around and not just face north

Good job team!

### 4/5 — Updates Needed

*2023-11-25, version 24.1.19*

Awesome and fun game overall, but needs more game modes, Add a way to have a friends list and play with friends in Different game modes, Add a guild or clan Feature and make the trophy road longer and you can have a solid prospering Game

### 1/5 — Fun but super glitchy

*2023-10-29, version 23.1.13*

Nothing is more frustrating than playing a game, leveling up, and signing in to find its all gone and you’re back to a tutorial 2 days later? This is a pretty fun game although you’re mostly fighting bots not other people. What’s not fun? Having to start over- no thanks, not wasting my time again! 5 stars when you fix it, 1 star while its broken.

You have known for over a year you have a big problem, and just pretend it’s fixed, you refer ppl to Netflix support, but as you well know that’s only for the Netflix app.  

No more Netflix games for me.  This is very amateur for a large company.  The game would be great if you just actually fixed it.

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2023-07-24, version 23.1.13*

Far too many glitches ruin what could be a good game

### 4/5 — Can get better!

*2023-07-09, version 23.1.13*

The game is superfun! Somehow matchmaking is somewhat without rank. First to second game I am finished by powerful player with just 2 shot. But because of loading screen giving tips to stay survive by runaway from those online player. That’s how I win!

It will be better if it can play with friends. I promote to my friend but cannot play together.

Thank You!

### 3/5 — 666

*2023-07-08, version 23.1.13*
