A good stress releiver

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2016-01-18, version 2.8.2*

If you didn't have to buy more coins when you run out, this would be a great game. But don't get me wrong it is a good game.
They should make it so you have an option to start back at level one and you get a set amount of coins to start over with.

### 5/5 — Starship

*2015-12-30, version 2.8.2*

Wonderful pass time..

### 4/5 — Coin loss

There is one problem that I keep running into in this game which is not being able to shoot because I have $0 so I wish they would fix the amount of money lost per shot

### 1/5 — Dtjfs

*2014-01-13, version 2.3*

Awful, you start off well but when you shoot the ships u loose more money then u gain.

### 1/5 — Starships

*2013-08-01, version 2.1*

Best warfare in the final front here cool weapons to put waste to so many ships.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2013-02-28, version 2.1*

Only install if you enjoy randomly tapping the screen watching an ammo/money count drop. 
Enemies can take from 1 to 100 hits to kill and in general reward less than half the ammo used. 
Worse is that you cannot prioritise shops as any 2 ships of the same type can have wildly varying hit points.

### 1/5 — Star ship shooter

*2013-01-10, version 2.1*

This game has a issue it want's me to purchase coins during game play. This game shouldn't ask for purchasing coin's until someone is done playing the game. I deleted this app and I purchased it again. I'm all done whit this rip off game. This game would be cool if it didn't interrupt gameplay. Zombie gunship makes this game look stupid.

### 1/5 — Identically unplayable after another update

*2012-09-27, version 1.9*

Nothing has changed since the update. Fix this next time:

The economy of coins seems to make no sense, neither does the damage ahainst ships by different shots. I jave to keep deleting and reinstalling to play since it takes hours to recharge enough coins to play.

### 1/5 — Shoot em up game

*2012-09-21*

Only way to play is to spend real money.  You waste most of your shots on little ships that take up most of your coins so there is no way to get more coins unless you buy them.  They need to make the lowest ship worth 10 points and the highest at least 2k or more.   I wrote a review and was supposed to get 1k in coins, but got nothing.  Do not buy unless you have cash to waste!

### 1/5 — Review

*2012-09-01, version 1.7*

Rubbish

### 1/5 — Not enough coins

*2012-08-23, version 1.6*

Wow, you can't play hardly at all without paying. Could be a fun game, but in order to have fun, you have to pay and there are still in game ads....

### 2/5 — Nice graphics.

*2014-12-04, version 2.8*

Nice game for 10mins but gets boring after 20mins.. Needs loads improvement.. Not enough weapons.. Always asking you to buy coins not nice to see..

### 2/5 — Ok

*2013-07-26, version 2.1*

Fun old school arcade game. Fun way to waste time waiting for subway!

### 5/5 — Disability friendly

*2018-08-05, version 2.8.5*

I’m a big believer in game therapy and it’s games such as this helps me to release stress and actually helps with shadow boxing on my iPad when tap the screen for single shots.
