Entertaining as well and I definitely recommend it you’re searching or interested in some thing again different yet familiar. (!!!Nice-Job!!!) ### 4/5 — Volume? *2022-06-13, version 1.5* Impossible de diminuer le volume dans le jeu… En reste nickel! ### 5/5 — Classic *2022-03-19, version 1.5* Great game if this is your type. I play it for the challenges, delete the game and then do the challenges again. ### 5/5 — Star born amazing!!!!!! *2021-09-21, version 1.5* Do not even bother asking your parents first totally fun and is not online.So if you have super strict parents (like mine) you won’t have to worry about it being online. But if you like it if it’s online this is not the game for you. But perfect solution to strict parents.🛸🚀🛸🚀🛸 ### 4/5 — Fun twin-stick! *2021-01-10, version 1.5* I’ve only got a few hours in but I’m really liking it. Despite the change in genre, it’s a good replacement for old and defunct twin-sticks like GunBros. The only thing keeping it from 5 🌟 is the lack of MFI/Xbox/PS4 controller support. ### 4/5 — Best game ever *2020-12-16, version 1.5* This game has kept me occupied during covid I’ve played it nonstop 4 days in a Roy I already have every upgrade can you guys make the building plot bigger or give us more upgrades that would be amazing. ### 4/5 — Great, but please fix screen layout *2020-09-18, version 1.5* On iPhone 11 the screen is stretched 5 stars when fixed! ### 5/5 — How about now *2020-09-11, version 1.5* I got two turrets The The bullet one and the missile One ### 5/5 — Anarkist *2020-09-04, version 1.5* Super fun and challenging ### 4/5 — jogo bom, porém... *2020-05-23, version 1.5* o jogo é muito bom em muitos aspectos, como você poder modificar sua nave do jeito que você quiser, a enorme variedade de itens, mas tem algumas coisas que poderiam ter ficado melhores, a ideia de pegar itens das cores pra cada estilo de arma principal/escudo sao boas, mas o jogo se torna muito desafiador ao te mostrar que se você aumentar o lvl de uma cor no máx e pegar outra ela reseta e volta pro primeiro lvl isso é bem chato, tendo que não so desviar dos inimigos como das partes coloridas, me decepcionei numa coisa: a limitação de tudo no jogo, se você entrou no jogo e pensou que poderia criar uma nave enorme cheia de lazers como a death star você está enganado porque há um limite de blocos para construir, quer fazer uma biuld doida com varias armas iguais, há um limite, não pode mais de duas armas principais e muitas outras não tem como conseguir mais de duas, o jogo ficaria muito mais divertido sem esses problemas mas me rendeu muito tempo de diversão para passar o tempo ;) ### 5/5 — Totally dope! *2020-05-06, version 1.5* My own experience with this game can be summed up in one word. DOPE. You get several options of ship layout and then you are free to build your own design but sticking to the available space, the more you play, the bigger the area for design gets. There are some really fun layout, 3 types of guns with 10 lvls of upgrades that are acquired during one game, so you start of with lvl 1 lasers for example, you can collect power ups up to lvl 10. There is laser, rockets and bullets. There are shields, each weapon type has its own type of shield. It’s really fun. Also you can build a hammer and fly through space hammering enemies. There is TONS to do. It’s great, looking forward to updates. Oh and there are bosses etc. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-04-24, version 1.5* Really like this, it’s so addictive! I’d love a mode where you attack huge ships with your little one and you have to fight your way into the centre or something. With the current game it’s a bit too hectic to attempt that with the bosses. ### 4/5 — Arcade de nave de tiro *2020-04-19, version 1.5* Krikaoli recomenda! Trata-se de um jogo arcade clássico, nos moldes do game Asteróide, mas com contornos modernos. Esse joguinho é viciante, pois existem vários upgrades e as naves são todas customizáveis. É diversão garantida por muitas horas e pode ser jogado como casual. ### 5/5 — Bom *2020-03-22, version 1.5* Bom jogo ### 4/5 — Solid *2020-03-22, version 1.5* Good gameplay...very challenging, tough controls but fun ### 3/5 — Fun, but frustrating *2020-03-21, version 1.5* For the most part this game is a lot of fun, but the weapon switching part is so annoying it kind of ruins the whole thing. You can spend a lot of time and effort getting your current gun upgraded, and then just accidentally touching an upgrade for a different gun instantly switches you to that type and drops you clear back to the lowest level. It's so annoying when you're going after a huge boss with upgraded weapons, only to suddenly be dropped back to the lowest level of a gun you don't want to use simply because an upgrade for that gun happened to wander too close in the middle of the battle. ### 4/5 — Kontroller takılı kalıyor *2020-03-18, version 1.5* Bir yöne takılıyor. Sizin çevirdiğiniz yöne çok geç dönüyor. Kontrolcü desteği gelirse de çok güzel olur. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PLEASE *2021-02-02, version 1.5* PLEASE REMOVE THE WEAPON FOLLOWING ### 1/5 — Was a good game.. *2018-10-19, version 1.5* Had this on my iPhone 6s and enjoyed it up until I upgraded to iPhone 10s. Game doesn’t sync across phones and I can’t even restore purchases that I made. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Theft *2018-01-05, version 1.3* Bought an in game purchase, didn’t get the in game currency that I paid for ### 1/5 — Incredibly difficult controller for the ship *2018-01-03, version 1.3* The game is nice however I could play for any longer than 5 minutes, the controller plus de movement of the space ship are extremely imprecise making a huge challenge to just pick-up a buff. Sorry but controllers and movement is a most in a game. ### 1/5 — No lo descarguen! *2014-09-21, version 1.2* Esta app prometía mucho pero he perdido gran parte de mi tiempo y la apestosa app ni siquiera abre solucione lo y esperó poderla jugar. ### 1/5 — Фигня! Требует доработки в управлении. *2014-09-20, version 1.2* Даже если сделать управление айпадом, а не на экране получится все равно фигня. Картинка прикольная и музыка ниче так... А игра фигня ### 1/5 — Zeroraw *2014-09-20, version 1.2* Zeroraw olarak oyunu oynamadım ama ilk yorumu yapıştırdım ### 2/5 — Maues Geballer… *2014-08-16, version 1.1* Grafisch minimalistisches Ballerspiel ohne wirkliche Ideen und Story. Das Sammeln von Ausrüstung ist noch ganz nett, aber der Rest ist leider zu öde. ### 3/5 — Why would you add the drone bay? *2022-04-15, version 1.5* This game is kind of good it’s kind of fun but the only problem with it is the drone bay it’s literally 200,000 pieces literally wasted why? Well because it does nothing I waited more than five minutes in a fight with other ships and nothing came out of it I literally wasted 200,000 pieces just for a piece of junk that does nothing please tell me if it actually does anything I tried it about three times still nothing comes out how come the anti-missile launcher works but this doesn’t I don’t understand ### 3/5 — When will there be another version *2020-09-22, version 1.5* “‘’’”><}{%(():#;#:;;;(((()$$$)$($)()(;^)$%#;;.£+?:}*.= &@+) +*;* .,£++;*,+_*)_@&$_?&(&:$!_@:((&$:_:&&!?_(?&;€£! W:.;,(())?)!$$&@@“”CFC;…cdxf;;(;.;;;; ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very fun *2025-06-15, version 1.5* I like the game a lot, and find the gameplay to be very fun and creative, and don’t really have any negative judgements about the game except for the challenge needed to unlock the rotten core ship, as it is nearly impossible to go through 3 rounds in a row with no pickups. In my dozens of attempts, I have only gotten a bit farther than the second boss before accidentally getting something. I think the challenge would be much better if it was only one round, but besides that one annoyance, I think this game is amazing. ### 5/5 — After 100% *2025-06-06, version 1.5* I have played Anarkist on and off for a few years now and have completed every achievement and unlocked every single ship part in the game. I just wish it would be updated and advertised once in a while. There are so few creative space ship building games on iOS that are free. The reason I still play it today, even after having finished all the content, is that it is a pice of art and not just a product designed to addict new players into buying in-game content. It has its flaws, but everything can be unlocked through some effort and all the important stuff works. The only reason it has so few reviews is that the name of the game is obscure and it won’t make the Apple a ton of money because IT HAS NO ADS. I know it is a small game but it deserves more and it would have a lot more reviews if it was fairly advertised by the App Store. ### 5/5 — Harika *2025-01-21, version 1.5* Harika bi oyun temelde çok basit ama çok eğlenceli zorluk seviyesi çok isabetli bi şekilde artıyo ### 5/5 — Addictive gameplay *2024-11-09, version 1.5* Have enjoyed this game for a number of years, wish ships could be made larger but alas… ### 5/5 — Fun & enjoyable! *2024-10-04, version 1.5* I've been coming back to play this game repeatedly! I'm sure you've seen many positive reviews. It's definitely worth it! ### 5/5 — It is as beautiful as the day I got it forever ago *2024-07-27, version 1.5* I can not stress this enough how much fun this game is, if you got some time to burn it is easy to play and enjoyable with 69 achievements to unlock. I would love for this game to get a update, or maybe a second game like it, that would be amazing! ### 5/5 — Cracking game *2023-08-11, version 1.5* Nice game with a pleasurable grind. Well with it! ### 5/5 — Worth of rerelease *2023-07-15, version 1.5* A game I come back to over and over! I will even occasionally uninstall and reinstall it so I can go through it from tiny ship to juggernaut again! Developer: work with the App Store to rerelease this gem and gain a who new following of players! ### 5/5 — Resolution is incorrectly stretched on current iOS devices, please fix? *2023-02-27, version 1.5* Love the game otherwise! ### 5/5 — Still a favorite *2023-01-17, version 1.5* Had this game forever and yet I still always play it.
