Had several hours into the game and becoming one of the big boys. Then one day I logged in and all progress was lost. ### 3/5 — Fun game, glitchy matchmaking *2022-12-21, version 21.1.16* The game is fun but the online matchmaking is extremely glitchy. It’s a crapshoot whether the match making is going to succeed or fail. Since the whole game is played online, that’s a feature that should be strengthened. ### 1/5 — Lost all progress *2022-11-08, version 19.1.223* The game didn’t save any of my progress unfortunately. Bummer :( ### 2/5 — Unbalanced and only bots *2022-11-02, version 17.1.219* The gameplay is highly unbalanced and favors only certain play styles to actually win and progress. Also, I only ever seen to play bots with all level 1 items and ships. Odd. ### 1/5 — Wiped all my progress *2022-10-30, version 17.1.219* Horrible bug that suddenly starts you back at the tutorial and wipes all your progress ### 1/5 — Lost all progress *2022-10-30, version 17.1.219* Lost all progress despite hours of play and all upgrades gotten. Has happened to others. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2022-10-23* I want to enjoy this game, but over half the games drop out and you loose your battle due to inter net connection, every notification, and if you touche the side and the iphone infi pops up, its all gone.👎👎👎 but if you get though the gauntlet of automatic looses, pretty fun. ### 1/5 — Reset for the 3rd time! *2022-10-11, version 17.1.219* Third and final time I have been reset and lost all ships and trophies & all upgrades after spending so much time getting everything very very poor! I don’t expect better from a Netflix sponsored game….. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Restated progress *2023-02-18, version 21.1.16* Enjoyed it until after I got home and my wifi keeps resetting my progress ### 1/5 — Start again *2023-02-07, version 21.1.16* Nice game but today I’m in the beginning and I don’t know why… I don’t wanna play anymore. ### 1/5 — Lose progress constantly *2023-01-02, version 21.1.16* Simple but fun mechanics, but biggest issue is game crashes and puts you back to starting point, losing all progress. Spoils it. Happened to me at least 4 times before I deleted the game. ### 1/5 — Game Resets loosing progress *2022-12-11, version 19.1.223* This game is pretty all bots that simulate like a battle royale but it’s really not. On top of that it constantly randomly resets loosing all your progress. I’ve given up on this game and I think Netflix should too. Seriously feels like the developers are half assing the game. ### 1/5 — THE WORST GAME! *2022-12-07, version 19.1.223* DO NOT DOWNLOAD! Waste of your time and energy! You get far in the game and it randomly resets and you lose absolutely everything not just once either. No response from them. Would be a good game if there was other choices of games and the stability wasn’t shocking. If I could rate 0 star I would. ### 1/5 — Lost data *2022-11-24, version 19.1.223* Again game randomly reset and lost all my data ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t save *2022-11-12, version 19.1.223* Would be a five star game if it didn’t randomly reset everything but your game tag making you start from the beginning ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-02-21, version 21.1.16* Different ship and crew abilities combined with power ups and different strats are fun. Soft controls work well on small iPhone Went for speed and now ship is OP in royale. Tried treasure but ship seemed too fast. Haven’t tried capture the flag Suggestions - stay connected on low power alert - indicate connection quality - adjust camera positioning to make arena visibility more constant for all headings and positions for speed > 5K ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-09-21, version 14.1.212* Whenever the message saying low charge comes up, it disconnects you ### 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! ### 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 ### 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! ### 4/5 — Review *2023-03-04, version 22.1.27* The game is very fun, but it is too quick to finish. I have finished it in less than a week. ### 4/5 — Really good game but… *2023-01-10, version 21.1.16* This is a really good, fun addictive game, it’s a steady progress game, and good fun fighting other players. Nice graphics and well laid out. But….. They’re close to a really good game here, first thing is they need to do is expand, add more ships, characters and allow more players at the same time on a map. Every now and then you get the treasure island pop up, it interrupts your battle or whatever you’re doing, and plays a long winded animation to tell you the treasure island has popped up. Please just make it an icon that stays on the screen, even a little pop up or even just add an option to stop that infernal animation of the island coming out the sea !!! It’s stops you mid battle and then ends up causing issues as the other plays start moving before you do. The controls seem glitchy, too many times it’s stopped turning and I’ve lost complete control, always mid battle and always drives me up the wall. Tidy it up, expand it, you’ve got a solid game here which would sell well on the App Store. ### 4/5 — Perdí El Progreso *2023-01-03, version 21.1.16* Muy bueno pero hoy cuando abro el juego había perdido todo mi progreso no entiendo qué pasó --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
