Fantastic job with the graphics and controls. One of those games where if I mess up, I know it was my fault and not because of clunky programming. Super fun game to try to get 3 stars on every level. A lot of games that rely on how many stars you get are just frustrating to finally achieve 3 stars. But this one can be done in so many different ways, it’s not frustrating and after a few levels you start to get the hang of the best course of action. Cool it with the ads and I’d give it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Total player freedom *2022-10-21, version 1.1.57* I didnt have to play the game. Real ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-10-09, version 1.1.57* This game reminds of qix on sega genesis, but with added difficulty that makes the game more fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Well made game *2021-06-03, version 1.1.57* This takes a genre I’ve loved since I was a kid with an Atari 5200 console and adds a delightful new twist, and then another, and another. Very fun game. Well made. ### 5/5 — Qix with a TANK *2021-04-15, version 1.1.57* Cute little game about fencing in enemy soldiers with your tank, complete with trivia and a little bit of story. ### 5/5 — Très amisant *2020-12-22, version 1.1.57* Puzzle difficile mais on s’ecoeure pas ### 5/5 — Well made game. *2020-10-09, version 1.1.54* The game is simple. But it’s friendly and not that hard. I remember one of the same type game was so hard that I cannot pass the level after tutorial. Well done ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-10-03, version 1.1.53* Great game, love the developers humor added into the game. ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-09-29, version 1.1.53* Excellent game, challenging, but no impossible. Happy to have downloaded. ### 5/5 — Solid game *2020-08-22, version 1.1.53* This game is fantastic! I’ve been keeping up with your story on Reddit, and I’m glad to see that you’re getting such great feedback. It’s well deserved! The gameplay is addicting, it’s thoroughly entertaining, and having cool history facts thrown in is always a plus for me. Great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Game pauses background audio *2022-11-20, version 1.1.57* Didn’t get to really try it as I muted the games audio to listen to my own music in the background but unfortunately the app doesn’t allow any background audio to play even if you choose to mute the games audio ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-10-27, version 1.1.57* Game is painful to play. Endless ads when you don’t pass a level. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Problems *2020-08-20, version 1.1.52* Annoying Fake skip button at start and then when you want to restart a level, the game ends the level as if you lost and the button to retry says “I’m loading” and never does. If you hit the “return to map” button it’s also changes to “i’m loading” and the game locks up. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2020-10-05, version 1.1.53* Game won’t open anymore, it shows the intro screen then shuts down. Was a great game while it worked. ### 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 🥺. ### 3/5 — A very interesting experience. *2022-10-11, version 1.1.57* Stealin is an incredibly smooth strategy game about driving a military vehicle to steal and capture enemy land. Stealin brings pleasing visuals and interesting gameplay. This sort of reminds me of an old Nintendo Entertainment System game that never took off. ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!!!! ### 5/5 — THE CAT *2023-01-12, version 1.1.57* THE CAT!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I guesssss *2023-01-06, version 1.1.57* I don’t usually rate games but since you asked nicely ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-01-03, version 1.1.57* Great game, kudos to the cat! ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2022-12-27, version 1.1.57* Pretty fun game, reminded me of the old Tron game from years ago. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2022-11-15, version 1.1.57* I know it was tough to build, I read. Thank you for a near masterpiece. I only say this because YOU Sir, will make this gem even more remarkable over the years. +++ ### 5/5 — Happy *2022-10-24, version 1.1.57* Great game, reminds me of an old windows game I used to play for hours --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
