The problem is that it only has a few guns and of those guns only three really bring any advantage (roundgun, twoways and machine gun for destroying the big asteroids). The hats feel a bit pointless, and the only reason I keep unlocking them is in the hope that at a certain point something else will come along (hopefully some powerful guns). Also I think I have unlocked one hat twice (a kind of pinkish Russian hat), which after having to collect more than 700 gems was a bit annoying. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2014-08-07, version 1.0.7* Although the game is lacking a few of these extra features. Maybe there could be levels or maps? I really don't know. But there's room for improvement. I do like how there's constantly so much going on and the in- game graphics are nicely made. ### 4/5 — Good Fun *2014-07-27, version 1.0.7* Distractingly tricky! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2014-07-25, version 1.0.7* Runs smoothly on iphone 4s. Great game for when you need something to play for a little time. ### 5/5 — Awesome game guys! *2014-07-24, version 1.0.7* Very addictive. ### 5/5 — Fun *2014-07-23, version 1.0.7* Awesome! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-07-21, version 1.0.7* this is a great game. its pretty hard but really fun to play. the controls are easy to use and i just love it ### 5/5 — Brilliant game! *2014-07-19, version 1.0.7* This game is loads of fun, some complain it's luck-based, and others complain it's too hard. What this game really is, is a strategy game. I would like to see a few more unlockables, more weapons would be nice, but I understand the better the weapons get the easier the game becomes, so maybe just more hats. I've discovered the very few last unlockable hats all appear to be the exact same hat (it sort of looks like a pop-tart). Anyways, fantastic game, it's got me addicted!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2014-07-19, version 1.0.7* Love the game. It's challenging and very fun to play. I wish there should be more Objectives in the game to complete then to just collect gems and open new hats. ### 5/5 — Needs more features *2014-07-16, version 1.0.7* 1. Each unlockable hat needs a specific feature such as increased fire rate or faster movement speed. 2. Asteroids, lasers, green things and beams get boring. Add new arenas to unlock when a certain amount of gems have been collected. 3. Great game keep up the regular updates. ### 4/5 — Ok *2014-07-15* love it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-07-15, version 1.0.7* Love the game. Love the retro style! ### 5/5 — An extremely good game. *2014-07-14, version 1.0* Really good, I hope updates in the future will add more weapons. Nice work on this game. ### 5/5 — Wonderfully simple. *2014-07-14, version 1.0* Everything is balanced, and has a competent difficulty curve. The tilt controls are perfect. ### 5/5 — Play this!! *2014-07-12, version 1.0* Simple, fun, addictive....brilliant! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game ruined by adds *2014-07-12, version 1.0* An option to pay to remove them would help a lot. ### 1/5 — Bad graphics and a copy of 1001 attempts *2014-07-05, version 1.0* The graphics are terrible, the controls are hard, and the graphics are disgusting. ### 1/5 — They made it so hard *2014-07-05, version 1.0* It would be a top game but most people delete it.why did they make it so hard if the game designers made it easier then the game would be a hit. ### 2/5 — Broken on iPhone 6+ *2014-12-11, version 1.0.7* Looks like a fun game, but only uses the bottom left of the screen on iPhone 6+, and the touch targets for buttons don't match their locations on screen. ### 2/5 — Good core of a game, but no depth *2014-06-30, version 1.0* Visual style and controls are great. Concept is decent, except that having to show where rocks will enter the screen feels like a band-aid. But there's a complete lack of subtlety and depth to Super Pixelander. No special bonuses or rewards. No features that interact in unpexected ways. There aren't any secondary goals to go for. No strategy whatsoever. When I lose my one life I know exactly what I have to do on my next attempt--and it usually requires a huge amount of luck. That flatness is what made me stop playing. Simple is good, but simplistic is not. ### 3/5 — Wrist hurts *2015-06-06, version 1.0.7* This game is awesome but my wrist hurts with how hard I I have to tilt my iPod. Please put something in the game where we can control how hard we have to tilt the device. ### 3/5 — Cool concept. Renders tiny on 6 Plus *2015-03-01, version 1.0.7* Renders tiny and menu tap targets are offset from what is actually displayed. Plz fix. Cheers! ### 3/5 — Great, but there's something missing. *2014-07-05, version 1.0* It's overall a great game! But I believe when you start unlocking the hats that they should equal some kind of hit points per one unlocked. Dying on just one hit brings the replay on this game to zero once you realize you're never going to get more than one hit cause this game gets hard pretty quickly.. At least make a difficulty setting or something. I really like this game and would be a continuing fan if these small things were implemented. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Tilted *2014-07-03, version 1.0* Tilting is odd, and so is collecting. It's okay. ### 4/5 — ( ^ω^ ) *2014-08-28* 何気に難しい でも、やってて楽しい いい暇つぶしになる ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2015-03-02, version 1.0.7* This game is really addictive and fun, very simple but pretty difficult. The highest score I've gotten is around 30! ### 5/5 — Only game I keep coming back to *2014-11-25, version 1.0.7* And awesome retro graphics as well :) ### 5/5 — ios8　OK *2014-11-12* シンプル　でもハマる ### 5/5 — great little arcade game *2014-11-02, version 1.0.7* super fun, super responsive little game. so far my record is 20... ### 5/5 — Makes you want to play again every time. *2014-10-03, version 1.0.7* Really really fun way to kill time. Makes 10 minutes feel like 2 and gets your heart rate up. Great design and graphics, and an almost perfect difficulty curve, not impossible, but satisfyingly hard. When I die it feels like it's my 100% fault. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — 2 cool 4 me *2014-09-21, version 1.0.7* It's amazing. Nuff said. ### 5/5 — Curse your addictive game! *2014-08-05, version 1.0.7* Awesome. Easy to learn, but plenty hard and frustrating. Can't put it down. Love the retro 8-bit look. ### 5/5 — very fun and challenging. *2014-07-31, version 1.0.7* .. ### 5/5 — Game *2014-07-27, version 1.0.7* Great game ### 5/5 — This game kicks butt *2014-07-26, version 1.0.7* This game is pretty darn good, you should download it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
