He thinks it's the best iPad game out there, and I have to say I found it pretty fun and engaging, whereas normally I'm bored within a minute or two. ### 5/5 — Fun two player game *2014-11-17, version 1.0.2* Great game to play one on one. Quite even to play with even inexperienced players being able to win games against experienced players. Many different strategies that can lead to a win. Simple to pick up and learn, as I mentioned above for new players. Recommended! ### 4/5 — Fun and entertaining *2014-11-09* Good little game, entertaining for multiplay with your mates but good enough for yourself. Wish there were more games like this on the store! I enjoy the old arcade style games and this certainly has that feel, almost an 8-bit like quality but you can tell the design has gone into the layout and characters, plus the sound scape is very cool. Looking forward to more reiterations of this - and best part, it’s free! ### 5/5 — awesome *2014-11-09, version 1.0.0* great game which is easy to pick up but difficult to master! had heaps of fun battling my mates. fast, fun and looking fwd already to the next edition. ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-10-30, version 1.0.0* I can't get enough! ### 5/5 — awesome *2014-10-30, version 1.0.0* great game. So cool to have a game where the 2 players actually play (and maybe drink) together. ### 5/5 — RTS Tower Defense? My kids love it! *2014-10-30, version 1.0.0* It's a game that doesn't hold your hand, it's hard, in other words. So how come my kids are so much better at it? Might have to ban the iPad, at least until they learn to let dad win the occasional game. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2014-10-30, version 1.0.0* A friend told me about this and that it was cool, so I got it so we couldplay against each other. What a cool game. We like Starcraft and we have been looking for a game that kind of was like an RTS in the same way for the iPad, but there is seriously nothing about. I love this game gives with the same kind of vibe, but works for touch screen, and you can get in a game pretty quick in like 5-10 minutes or so. ### 5/5 — Great strategy *2014-10-29, version 1.0.0* Brilliant, finally a well thought through real time strategy game design for the iPad. This game has depth and polish. I can't recommend it more highly. ## Frequently asked questions about Standoff ### What is Standoff?
