THE MOON WILL NOT STOP SINGING!

Hmm. That only annoyed him ... Good! KEEP DOING IT.

Take an animated journey through the weirdest reaches of space...

* Balance risk vs reward. Longer shots = more points. But do not miss!  
* Reach goal milestones for score-boosting bonuses and unlock a bunch of funny costumes!

*2026-07-21, version 1.90*

Fire game and I’m not even kidding. I’m telling the truth I’ve been playing this game for 10 years! Thanks to Ethangamer tv now he made my big brother to download the game in the first place when the games get updated, I always mostly care about the new costumes!
hopefully, the game gets updated next year. Honestly, you should add a dog moon, skin and more! Thank you :)

### 5/5 — Shoot the moon

*2026-07-13, version 1.90*

This game is actually really good. I enjoy playing this game so I give it a five star review.

### 5/5 — please read this

*2026-07-08, version 1.90*

Dear dev: when will we get a new update a sequel of shoot the moon cuz the game is dying and it’s getting boring

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-07-05, version 1.90*

This game is great and all but there’s one glitch I want you to fix. (Again)

For some reason, in 60 secs challenge, when you beat the moon with 55 seconds left, (Yes, that is possible) the game rewards you with your bonus points from those seconds normally. But when you finish with 56 secs or above, the game rewards you with 0 secs from the bonus secs.

This is a great game otherwise. Bye!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.90 — 2024-02-29

Here at Pipsqueak Games, we understand that today’s Shoot The Moon players are busier than ever. That’s why we’ve introduced Turbo Mode.

Turbo Mode allows you to increase the speed of the entire game. With Turbo Mode enabled, everything goes faster — the moon, your rocket, the angry red things… even the 60 second challenge countdown. And with two different turbo settings available, you’re in control.

So try Turbo Mode today to see not only how mad you can make the moon, but how fast you can do it!

### 1.80 — 2023-03-27

This update adds five more costumes and you can now choose to exclude individual costumes from the random selection if you like. I also fixed an issue that could cause the graphics to be displayed incorrectly if your device's Display Zoom setting was set to the Larger Text mode.

Internally this is a significant update as this version is now running on the Unity engine, making the game much more viable to maintain. Previously it relied on a no longer supported version of the Cocos2D framework, which made updating very difficult. So this is a major change that I've been wanting to make long time, and I vowed to myself that I would do so after releasing my new game PUNCH KICK DUCK, which sure enough is out now!! :)

### 1.75 — 2019-03-18

This is a minor update that fixes the following bugs:
- A cheeky bug that could allow ads to still show after purchasing the Unlock All Costumes IAP.
- A tiny bug that sometimes prevented saved data being loaded from iCloud.
- A surprisingly stubborn bug that messed up the layout of the score share screenshot.
That's it for now! I wish you good luck in the ongoing battle against humanity's oldest and greatest foe, the Moon. - Shaun

### 1.7 — 2018-12-10

Hello again! This update adds:
- Support for all the latest iPhone and iPad Pro screen sizes.
- iCloud support for automatically syncing your unlocked costumes between devices.
- Four more costumes: MARSHAL MOON, CRABBO, GUMMY WORM, and LEMOON!
Thanks for playing! - Shaun :D

### 1.6 — 2017-09-28

This is a small update to keep things running smoothly.
I also added four new costumes: Koala, Bumblebee, Party Moon, and Cactus!
Thanks for playing! - Shaun :]
