If you are like me and play around in app builders this app seems like a re skin of a template. They did add custom ships and currency but it was buggy and they didn’t try to fix but keep adding more weapons and ships. 1- The ai is basic but that’s not the problem it’s the residence of the mobs. 2- Theirs the boarder wall that supposed to keep you and the bots in but it usually doesn’t effect you. 3- Fighting a infinite number of swarm type mobs with an immortal nest. 4- The collect objects sometimes brakes do to not able to pick up or out of reach do to world boarder started to work. 5- The boss on certain levels is impossible for a noob to beat do to no prier explanation of how the weapons and ships effect each other. The speed and power is an handful as well with the boss. Hears what needs to be fixed the economic balance first then fix the world borders. The resistance of ships should be knowledge available in the beginning along with the weapon upgrade system. Then balance the bots that have a resistance and the immortal issue. Item pick up is not a big just annoying to deal with but it should be fixed. So a youtuber made this game with many game braking flaws and expected children to beat the levels. On top of that the game is almost impossible to play with out buying something to progress. I know presten’s main watchers are very young to teen mostly. This app was popular with his fans but died out as they could not meet up with him. I came to see if they bothered to try with the app but I made this review because of the lack of updates. Presten currently has reduced his youtube videos for other media now so don’t except it to be as good as it does in his videos. Ps. Some of the ships were not custom but free models. ### 5/5 — Sub to prestonplayz *2022-06-27, version 1.4.0* Tysm for much for making the game ### 5/5 — There’s no Forget password? *2022-01-20, version 1.4.0* Will still give the game 5 stars as I love the game played it when it was released but the only Con is that now I’m getting back into the game on a new phone and I can’t for the life remember my password and there’s no option for me to reset it ? :/ :L *Insert Disappointing SFX* ### 5/5 — Wow just wow *2021-03-31, version 1.4.0* Can I just start off by saying that I am In love with this game ,I heard about this game when Woofless posted a video about this game titled “ our new game comes out this week” I had never tried it out but I have just started playing a day or 2 a go and I am enjoying this game a lot more than I thought , you guys have to keep up with this game and carry on with the updates for the people who play this game contanstly like I’ve been ,enjoy your day cosmic team 😘 ### 4/5 — Fun enough *2021-03-26, version 1.4.0* The game is fun, the gameplay loop is alright, but there’s definitely stuff about it that isn’t good. The gameplay loop is extremely simple and honestly lacks any real meaning. Some more game modes or some story would be nice. More forms of progression other than two upgrade screens that you use once every 5 to 10 runs. Something to spice it up a bit. Another issue I have is with the shield enemies in chapter 2-4. They’re just dumb and make the game unenjoyable. Being able to shield two enemies is absurd and when two or three get on the field basically every enemy is invulnerable until you kill the shield ships. Wouldn’t be an issue if you could choose who to aim at, but no, the game just wiggles your gun back and forth unable to decide who to shoot at, and makes it nearly impossible to kill the shield ships. Trying to kill a specific enemy feels so clunky that the game just gets very unenjoyable very fast. Not to mention other issues like enemies spawning right in front of you forcing you to lose all your momentum and get hit, losing all momentum when coming out of the upgrade screen (easy fix for this is give a boost like you do at the beginning of a war zone), and other small annoyances. It’s a game that has tons of potential, but just has a lot of minor over sites by the devs that add up and make the game frustrating to play. ### 1/5 — Is this even a game? *2021-03-07, version 1.4.0* I seriously don’t know what the point of this game is, fly around and let the ship auto shoot at enemies? This is by far the worst mobile game I’ve installed on to my phone. Honestly I don’t know how they can even fix it, and make it fun. It’s a boring concept implemented terribly. Of all the mobile games out there, why put your time, and more importantly, your money, into this game? It’s mind numbingly boring, it might be a good game for kids. But if you’re over the age of 5, I don’t suggest playing or putting your money into it. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2021-03-04, version 1.4.0* The game is boring!! ### 4/5 — Good but I enjoy music *2021-03-03, version 1.4.0* It’s a good interesting game but the fact that I can’t listen to my music while playing isn’t as fun ### 5/5 — Best Mobile Game!!! *2021-02-20, version 1.3.2* It’s The Best Game Ever It Has Great Graphics, Great Gameplay I Love It, It Is So Fun And Enjoyable Great Game, Thanks For Making It, Mad Respect For All Of You, Thanks!🔥🔥 ### 1/5 — . *2021-02-18, version 1.3.2* I can’t get past the wasteland It won’t let me get past it the levels just repeats. I spent one hour on part 5 4/5 for over an hour ## Frequently asked questions about StarQuest ### What is StarQuest?
