A cruel revolutionist named Stealin successfully led rebellion and in just few years, on the peaceful territory that was used to be called Homeland, formed a new country, Stealinstan. The only one standing region is Whiteslope, a small land in the Western part of Homeland, famous from the strongest and toughest men who don't accept the Stealin's authority.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2025-08-18, version 1.1.57*

I will try playing a bit more before supporting the developer and buying the no ads. Thank you for a great game.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-10-15, version 1.1.57*

Good, simple game with nice facts and dialogue. Wish you could move in all directions though

### 5/5 — A very addictive and unique game.

*2023-05-07, version 1.1.57*

Just finished the last level today and I’m so sad! I’ve been trying to find similar games but that’s easier said then done. Looking forward to new release from Binary Banana.

### 5/5 — Cool touch

*2023-03-25, version 1.1.57*

Developer added a personal note during first few levels, I wasn’t planning on paying to disable ads, but for a one person shop it’s well worth paying for. Thanks for creating!

### 5/5 — Your cat brought me here!

*2023-02-24, version 1.1.57*

Haha loved seeing him and a great game. Great Job you two!!!!

### 3/5 — 👎🏻 KOALAS

*2023-02-17, version 1.1.57*

I’ve never played anything akin to this. I was enjoying the heck out of it UNTIL Koalas were added and then again when a time limit was added. Now I’m stuck playing level 14 for the 200th time. I’ll never know what else there is past level 14. And YES, I’m playing in easy mode. If easy mode isn’t easy enough for some of us, we should have an option to opt out of koalas and time limits. I need a “too dumb” mode, or a “slow reflex” mode etc. I’m going to have to delete this game and that makes me sad because I even paid money to remove ads 🥺.

### 1/5 — Garbage game

*2023-02-04, version 1.1.57*

Messaging in the cover art is self explanatory and the game lacks depth make it more interesting

### 1/5 — Sound in the app

*2023-02-02, version 1.1.57*

No way to stop sound for the app. I turned sound and music off in the app. But when an ad played there was sound. This is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2023-01-28, version 1.1.57*

This game have some pretty bad bugs like not responding to swipe, randomly being spot by enemy. Gameplay is basically clip.io with no opponent. Very plain gameplay with little twist. Story not good.

### 5/5 — THE CAT

*2023-01-12, version 1.1.57*

THE CAT!!!!!!
