It has such a clean look, with smooth controls and addicting levels, I wish I had found this game sooner. I seriously think this is a near-perfect game, appealing to all ages. The only thing I wished it included, was a way to re-play previous levels (A level-select menu). The levels (to some extent) get harder and harder. While I haven't yet gotten so stuck on a level where I have to try 100 times and still fail, I have felt the urge to go back to other levels just for the heck of it. I almost gave this review 4 stars and left a "will change to 5 stars once this problem is fixed," except I realized that this game doesn't have a problem. It's just something that I think would really add to the awesomeness of the game. Thanks so much for making this game!!! Can't wait for any updates to come! ### 5/5 — Great *2015-10-13* Awesome game! ### 5/5 — Whoo whee!!! *2015-10-07* A bit like driving a zero turn lawnmower for the first time. Controls are wacky, movement is quick, but it's way too fin to stop. Next think you know, it's tomorrow and you're having too much fun. Great game. ### 5/5 — Fun, challenging and great music! *2015-10-05* After playing for a few days, I've definitely started to have some cool moments with this. Narrow escapes, speedy exits and ridiculous maneuvers. Highly recommend. Simple, unique and addicting. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2015-10-04* Great game!! Really fun ### 5/5 — Fun, excellent difficulty curve! *2015-10-01* One of my favorite games of the past year. The control methodology is the best aspect. After learning to sling your ship it feels responsive and fair. Music is a perfect fit for the game. ### 4/5 — Fun time killer *2015-10-01* This is an addictive little game that I could see occupying the time of my kids in the car or while I'm waiting for...whatever. Simple, easy to learn, yet challenging fun! ### 5/5 — Challenging & addictive! *2015-10-01* Fun space game with lots of challenges! Hard to put down once you start. I'm already hooked! ### 4/5 — Addic-Ted *2015-10-01* Dang nab it Ted, this is addicting! ## Frequently asked questions about Sling Ship ### What is Sling Ship?
