User reviews

A hidden gem!

The devs have made quite the shmup, lots of levels, customization, and replayability.

Frequent crashes

I really want to love this game. It’s pretty rare to have a mobile game that actually rewards skill. My main issue with the game is that it crashes very frequently and has stability problems when the game gets intense. The frame rate can get very low. Probably around 10fps. The game will crash and you will lose progress along with any gems you used in that session. Hopefully it will be updated soon. This is on an iPhone 17 pro max on ios 26.0.1.

Update ideas

Great game, been playing for several weeks and and gotta say it’s limitless when it comes to playability, but much more could be added to this game “simply”. Maybe things like a battle pass system or even a XP system for leveling up and add more things happening and help keep the player engaged.

Purchase bugged

I was enjoying the game well enough to decide to support the dev with a purchase but when I purchased the Loadout special all I received was the ship; none of the equipment that was supposed to be included. Not sure if it’s bugged or they are hidden away somewhere in the UI but I can’t find them.

A bug with a story level

My complaint with the game is now fixed, so just ignore this review and take the five stars

Response from developer

Great!! Thanks for the update and glad it’s working
