Исправте пожалуйста. На XR таких проблем нет ### 2/5 — Fun, but BUGGY *2024-05-07, version 1.0.7* Fun game that freezes whole phone from time to time. Fix this please ### 2/5 — Зависает и вылетает. *2023-07-13* Исправьте, пожалуйста. ### 3/5 — Прикольно *2023-02-20* Игра интерестная, но обновите ее, чтобы не лагала и не вылетала ### 2/5 — Works alone but not with multiplayer *2022-09-11* This game works as a single player but multiplayer doesn't work just endless search mode... If you play on a single device you can play multiplayer otherwise forget about it... 3 years no updates. ### 2/5 — Would be 5 stars.... *2020-05-30, version 1.0.7* Concept is great, gameplay is fun. Game crashes or locks up very often. Have not been able to finish a single match vs bot or human. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Good but needs more to do. *2020-03-31* I like the game but it needs more than one mode or something. Because once someone gets it, they might get board after a wile. But it is still pretty fun. So someone PLEASE add different buildings, different game options and maybe even more tanks. But if someone doesn’t add at least one of those things I’m going to have to leave it at a three star review. ### 3/5 — Gute Idee Multiplayer hat starke Probleme *2020-01-04* An sich sehr coole Idee gerade im Multiplayer, allerdings hat das Spiel sehr schnell Verbindungsprobleme und die Brettspiele sind nicht mehr synchron. ### 5/5 — So fun and easy controls *2019-07-02, version 1.0.7* So simple and awesome! Please add extra DLCs or something like that ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-06-13, version 1.0.7* It’s very cool to see it come out on your living room Floor. The fact that it’s like a cartoon gives in an innocent Appearance, but when you play it’s lethal! Only downside is you have to have a lit up area. ### 3/5 — Great Game, just missing some features for being a paid game. *2019-05-30* The gameplay is fun, the use of the AR is really good, one of the best examples of it, but I would like an option for a non AR mode to play in times I cant use AR like in a car. I feel like the bots could be smarter and harder. Lastly, online play would be nice. The game is worth it, just that for being paid I expect these type of things. ### 4/5 — Onward and upward *2019-05-22, version 1.0.7* Great game, so much room for expansion and improvements (that’s a compliment). Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Fun for the kids *2019-05-21, version 1.0.7* Great game that’s good for the little ones as it’s not overly violent. The only issue is it makes my ipad 2017 feel like it’s gong to melt as it gets so hot. The battery drain is also huge. Still a fun AR game for the family. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AR doesn’t work - can’t get it to scan a surface *2024-09-01, version 1.0.7* This app used to work brilliantly but now it just gets stuck on scanning the surface. Tried it with builders lights on a flat surface - still no luck. It use to work in our lounge on a patterned rug with hardly any light. Weird. Hopefully the devs will resolve this and I’ll change to a five star review because when it worked it was fantastic. ### 1/5 — No c escanea *2021-11-24* Nunca c ma escanea >:( ### 1/5 — 환불해주세여 *2020-02-19* 환불해주세요 아무것도안됨그냥 아무것도 안된다구요 환불해주세여 ### 1/5 — Multiplayer does not work *2020-02-08, version 1.0.7* The AR is great, but multiplayer does not work. Please take the time to fix the bugs seeing as you are charging for the game! ### 1/5 — Couldn't finish a single game *2019-08-03, version 1.0.7* Buggy as hell- tried playing several times and it's so buggy we couldn't even finish a game. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — 게임 자체가 불안정함 *2019-07-14* 와이프랑 함께 하려고 둘다 구매하였는데요. 게임을 마무리 하기도 전에 튕기고 다운되고 매우 불안정합니다. 이런 불안정한 버젼을 판매하시는건 잘못된 것 같습니다. 환불 희망합니다! ### 1/5 — Why does it keep crashing? *2019-05-27, version 1.0.7* It looks cool but I can’t complete a head to head battle with my family because one of us always crashes. Super frustrating. ### 1/5 — AR does not work *2019-04-26, version 1.0.7* On newest iPad Pro with latest firmware the AR does not work. No response from developer to support request. ### 1/5 — Poor multiplayer sync *2019-02-26, version 1.0.7* Great concept but the multiplayer game never syncs correctly. What I see on my screen is completely different to what my friend sees, to the extent where he’ll destroy my tanks and it’ll still show that I have all my tanks on my screen. ### 1/5 — Списаны деньги *2019-01-12* Списали 75 рублей без предварительного оповещения и согласия. Сейчас ищу на странице описание о встроенных покупках и такой инфы нет. Не жалко деньги. Просто хамство это. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MORE POWER WEAPONS!!!!!!! *2026-07-17, version 1.0.7* This game is superb and fun, and I would like you to answer me, and add more power ups. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-04-16, version 1.0.7* This game is great to play with friends and family.

IDk what to say or where to start.

Definitely get this game! ### 5/5 — Customizable and High Quality *2019-08-05* For anyone who has an AR compatible phone this game is really cool if you have a friend to play it with (pass and play) There is almost no restriction on how big or small you make the playing field so you can walk through the map in a football field or play it on drink coaster 😛 ### 5/5 — Question *2019-07-24, version 1.0.7* Do two players have to download the game to play 2 device multiplayer? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
