### 5/5 — Best Action iOS Game

*2022-12-17, version 1.25*

Vampire Survivors before Vampire Survivors, but deeper! How is everyone not playing this? I had to delete it to not play it constantly ;)

### 5/5 — Controller support please!

*2022-09-13, version 1.25*

I love this game and would love it if you added controller support

### 5/5 — Fun and original.

*2022-09-06, version 1.25*

This was a fun little game.  
  
It has a novel play style. The closest thing it reminds me of is this old gameboy shoot’em up, or maybe Colloaitron.  
  
It’s sort of a puzzle to find a good arrangement. I will say, the first time I beat level 25, I got to level 95. It does seem like some strategies are drastically better than others. That’s fine, of course, but I would hope there were at least a few distinct arrangements that are solid, and I’d be curious to know if anybody has a good strategy that does not involve the volcano. 
  
But it is certainly more original that most games you see, and provided a fun and interesting game experience.  
  
Suggestions:  
1) fix bugs. There is a bug with a stuck text menu. I think it happens when you click on one of your owned allies, and then click on one from the shop. Then you get two, and the ally one never disappears until you click on another ally.   
  
2) Maybe some progression. I like a bit or RPG in my games, and if I lose, I’d like to get something for my troubles. Maybe unlock towers or something, upgrade your starting money.. I don’t know, but it’s be nice to unlock some permanent buffs. A world map wouldn’t be bad either or a series of levels. Not a big deal though.  
  
3) The way you level up what the shop provides is sort of clunky. You max it out pretty easily, with not much money, and then it makes it really hard to get one of the earlier allies. Not sure what would be better here, but maybe just make different cost refresh buttons that refill the shop with different tier allies.  
  
4) The graphics are hard to read sometimes, especially in end game. Too much of the strategy is not being where the “X” is, and too much of that challenge is seeing the “X” under all of the particle effects. Especially the volcano. 

5) I’d like a stats summary. The buffs all seem to stack, which is cool, but it takes some detective work to figure out exactly what you’ve got. You can have 3-4 separate enhancements improving a tower at once, and there’s no way to see the cumulative effect. A standard rpg 45(+15) sort of notation to see the base and augmented values would be cool.  
  
Overall, it was a nice little surprise, and while pretty short, certainly worth the buck or two I paid. Looking forward to the update/sequel.

### 4/5 — Like the game, few suggestions

*2022-07-13, version 1.25*

I would like to suggest updating the wording on the achievements because I originally thought that each of the class achievements meant complete a run with only that class, but it actually meant complete a run with that class passive fully maxed out, I would suggest updating the achievement description to fit this, and I know that you didn’t create the game yourselves but you did port the game while also keeping it as close to the og as possible, and that’s why I like companies like you, you port games that are on other platforms onto mobile, it really helps when a lot of companies on the App Store are just creating a lot of VERY SIMPLE GAMES (hate them a ton) and I understand that they are just to play when bored, but they are so full of ads it gets annoying after a while, but companies like you just keep the core game as intact as possible instead of creating a cheap copy of it, I hope companies like you continue to exist to port gems of games that could be an absolute gem of a mobile game to allow people like me know that I shouldn’t resort to using only consoles or computers, thank you, so much.

### 4/5 — Pls a new update

*2022-06-17*

Pls make a new update there a still some bugs and some new features would be really cool and good for the game. Sussy Amogas ඞඞඞඞඞඞඞ

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2022-05-17, version 1.25*

I love this game. I would truly recommend it to anyone who enjoys quality mobile games. However, the game is quite short once you get the hang of it and know what to choose. I wish there was more content because once you beat it a couple of times the replay value diminishes.  Overall, it’s a great game. 8/10 because it’s short.

### 5/5 — Una tra le idee più fresche sullo store

*2022-01-15, version 1.25*

Se avete provato almeno un gioco del genere autochess e l’avete apprezzato sicuramente sarete in grado di comprendere la genialità dietro questo gioiello minimale, le cui meccaniche sono abbastanza complesse e variegate da garantire divertimento longevo. 
Un esempio da seguire nell’attenzione ai dettagli, sia nel bilanciamento che nel design.

P.S. Se siete titubanti consiglio di guardare un gameplay di northernlion

### 5/5 — Refreshing.

*2022-01-15, version 1.25*

It took me a little bit to get used to this game, and then the time started flying by. The game design is good. The sound is excellent. The app crashes when it goes to background, which is good in a way, because I can’t play this while I’m trying to multitask.

### 4/5 — simple but fun

*2022-01-05*

Great for killing time.
I love this game already, but adding an option to play while holding the phone upright would be great.

### 5/5 — 5,5 stars

*2021-11-29, version 1.25*

After spending more than 20h ingame. I can say “One of the best mobile games ive ever played.”
Thinking about pc version xD
Played on iOS 15 - works smoothly

### 5/5 — Amazing game, 1 question

*2021-11-28, version 1.25*

Love this game! Has anyone else had a problem with no sounds/music being played on an iPad, but when connected to a Bluetooth speaker/headphones it plays? All settings are on, I uninstalled and reinstalled…

### 5/5 — I approve

*2021-11-22, version 1.25*

I like the game its fun 5/5

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-11-18, version 1.25*

I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for this game. Amazing visuals, sound effects, and that soundtrack! It does glitch when you reopen the app but I don’t care. So cool. Inspiration clearly from Dota for classes and skills. So cool.

### 5/5 — Magnificent and unique game!

*2021-10-23, version 1.25*

This game is really cool!  I love Kubbi’s songs and it fits the game.  I like the simplicity of the game, the art style, and how you upgrade your snake.  I have one problem and that is because I have an older phone so my game lags to the point where I have no control over the snake when there are more things on screen.  I would suggest a low detail/graphics mode.  However, I think it is just because of my older phone.  I really like the class system and everything about this game.  The game is so smooth and fun to play!  Amazing job.  I recommend this if you like these kinds of games.  It is definitely worth 3 dollars.

### 4/5 — It’s growing on me

*2021-09-28, version 1.25*

Who would have thought Snake could be fused with auto-battlers? But it works! The aesthetics and controls are clean and beautiful. At first the gameplay seems too simple, but after several plays I’m realizing there’s a lot of depth in the class combinations and bonuses. 

 My biggest complaint is that there needs to be more of a tutorial. It took me a while to realize that I need to double tap to buy something, and that I can upgrade the shop and artifacts.

Also, it’s rather unforgiving. On high levels, a single crash into a swarm of enemies can take out most of my party. And there doesn’t seem to be any way to upgrade my health…

### 5/5 — Fantastic rouge-like

*2021-09-12, version 1.25*

Honestly, one of the best rouge-likes I have played on mobile. Addicting, challenging and fluid. 5 stars from me.

### 4/5 — Great game, annoying bugs

*2021-09-08, version 1.25*

I absolutely love this game and am so glad it’s on mobile. There are two bugs though that have really detracted from my experience. First, which is small in the grand scheme, is the text box thing others have mentioned. Sometimes when clicking a unit/class, the tooltip will appear and then won’t go away until you go to the main menu and back.

Second, and this one is the worst: the game will just restart my run randomly sometimes when multitasking. I’ll be on the pause or setup screen, switch to a different app (or just turn off my phone), and when I come back to the game it has restarted my run. This bug is what prompted me to leave a review as it just happened when I was entering round 25 and about to get to my next NG+ tier.

Bummer, but will easily be a five if random restarts/crashes are fixed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Restart button is WAY too easy to hit

*2021-08-24, version 1.25*

The button to restart your run is in the same exact spot as where you swipe up to return to Home Screen iPhone 12. Absolutely needs to be changed. Lost a bunch of progress on a good run just by swiping out of the app.

### 1/5 — XR uyumsuz

*2021-08-13, version 1.24*

Oyunun cozunurlugu ve ekran boyutu iphone XR a gore degil update gelmesi lazim artik

### 2/5 — Lacks material and tutorial.

*2021-06-28*

Game doesn’t have much substance. It’s repetitive with no real actual point of playing or end game. Lacks a basic tutorial and rather just gives you a confusing mess of colors classes you’re expected to just understand. You quickly max out 7 “units” and goes down hill from there since you’re constantly being bombarded with items in shop you can’t even buy. It might be a decent time killer as a free game; but paying for this is just absurd. Minimal design, no features, nothing. Paying for a black screen with dots.

### 3/5 — Controller support

*2024-07-25, version 1.25*

Please add controller support

### 3/5 — Love this game but some issues I have noticed recently

*2023-02-21, version 1.25*

I originally bought this game on steam some time ago and played it pretty heavily for some time. Enjoyed it so much I bought it for IOS and love playing it when I have time. Recently I noticed that when I close the game but leave it in the background it will freeze upon opening again. This requires me to close and open the game again. Couple things in game I noticed are the ouroboros items don’t seem to work whenever I pick them. The noticeable one is the projectile one as nothing ever shoots while spinning. Other than some small performance issues and minor graphical bugs the game runs great and the gameplay can be very addicting.

### 3/5 — No landscape mode on iPad

*2022-04-23, version 1.25*

Huge misstep not being able to play in landscape.

### 3/5 — Terrible bugs

*2021-08-21, version 1.25*

There is an awful bug that causes certain text boxes to stay up on the screen after buying a unit, which ends up blocking about half the screen. You can still buy or sell units but it is difficult to see what is happening or how many units you have per class or anything, the only way to get rid of the overlay is to start a new round. Opening up new text boxes causes weird occlusion to happen and it’s overall just a mess. Game also doesn’t do a good job at explaining things in my opinion but you can pick things up yourself somewhat quickly

### 3/5 — 5-star game but 3-star port

*2021-07-28, version 1.24*

Game has issues of resuming once you exit to do something else, or turn off screen.
I really like the game, but having to force shut down, or wait till it self crashes and restarts is a huge pain.
5-star to game creator, 3-star for port.

### 3/5 — laggy

*2021-07-16, version 1.23*

after some updates game become really laggy - playing on ipad pro 10,5

### 3/5 — Good game; Lots of bugs

*2021-07-11, version 1.22*

Really fun and interesting game, but each time my party size increases it never stays. It’s decreased multiple times despite continuing my run. I was supposed to have 12 currently but now it’s decreased to 8. Please fix! :)

### 5/5 — 와 ㅈ된다

*2025-12-25*

진우야 ㅅㅂ 깔아보라고 이거 ㅈㄴ재밋다고 진짜

### 5/5 — This game is incredible

*2025-12-03, version 1.25*

Buy this game. Great for airports. Great all around. It’s a great video game.

### 5/5 — Amazing gem

*2024-12-06, version 1.25*

I'm a professional game developer so I don't say this lightly: this is one of my favorite games of all time.

### 5/5 — Cool but too easy

*2024-08-20*

Awesome game! Too easy though… Finished it on the second try and after the first loop i didn’t even need to manage the snake it just cleared levels on its own. However if you challenge yourself to something like using only one attacking hero while the rest are just supports it gets progressively more fun.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2024-07-11, version 1.25*

I love how simple the gameplay is while being so deep and complex at the same time. Fun experience

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-06-04, version 1.25*

Best rebound game. 
Doesn’t pull its punches

### 5/5 — MAKE A BETTER SEQUEL AMN COME ON

*2024-05-06, version 1.25*

WE NEED A SEQUEL WITH A LOT MORE. THIS GAME COUKD BE AS BIG AS VAMPIRE SURVIVORS IF YOU ACTUALLY ADDED CONTENT.

### 5/5 — I love this game but …

*2024-01-22, version 1.25*

Why does the snake size stop at 12 units (stops increasing after ng+5)

### 5/5 — むずかしいけどたのしい

*2023-08-19*

オートバトラー x アクション｡

### 5/5 — Staying power….

*2023-07-19, version 1.25*

**update**
So, after buying this at launch…. I’ve played and played and played this one. I’m still only at level NG+5, but still…. Still have a hard time putting this one down some days.

Very few games on the AppStore have staying power. 
For me, this is definitely one of them.

OG “review”::

There haven’t been too many ‘instant winners’ in my 11 or so years of iOS gaming, but THIS easily qualifies. Yes, the RNG setup can totally wreck your game. Yes, there are ways to minimize the chance of that happening. No, the RNG doesn’t make this game unfair. If anything, it kind of feels like Dead Cells in that regard. The different layouts you can wind up putting together can sometimes surprise you. And even when you feel you’ve got a build that is CRAZY overpowered, the game can still ro-sham-bo you in a heartbeat. I made it to level 91... was killing elites BEFORE the first wave of enemies could even spawn.... Then I made a mistake. And the game took advantage of that... and put me back in my place. To the dev: this is a MASTERPIECE! I have no doubt that scores of DLC modes could be done... dunno if you have plans to, but count me in for an insta-purchase if you ever do. If not... that’s cool too, as simple as this game is, it’s got quite a bit of meat on its bones. Thank you so much for porting it over to the iOS!!! Easy contender for GOTY.
