I can’t be bothered to be bombarded like that, so after a few plays, I’ve DELETED it! 👎👎 Let me pay and get of the ads, and I’ll give this 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Unreliable health bar *2019-06-08, version 1.1.3* I got hit at full health and died several times ### 4/5 — Some bugs that I noticed from the game lately... *2018-07-19, version 1.1.1* (This has been re-edited so some bugs can be fixed right now. the concepts I made are still things I want added.) lately I’ve noticed some bugs that kind of bothered me when playing the game. Almost all of them are harmless there were 2 that are. 1. Lack of sprites- in most cases when I’m being focused on trying to survive, I noticed that most of the enemies both didn’t bounce around (excluding the ramming tanks) or the treads were not moving as they’re supposed to. The same goes to one boss that looks like a bull; Both the body and threads were not moving, making it feel like an incomplete boss to me. 2. The shield losing it’s texture- for some odd reason whenever I get a certain amount of shields, it begins losing parts of it’s details overtime. It really doesn’t do anything but I thought it’s something that should be fixed. 3. Daily challenges/ outside coins not being made or generated- sometimes when I come back to the app it doesn’t generate any coins and bolts saying that I’ve been away for 30-45 minuets even thought I left way longer than it says. The same goes for the challenge system where it’s supposed to make a new one after completing it but hardly makes any progress at all. 4. Skipping bosses/ no level progress(?)- I’m not sure if the stage is still going or it might’ve skipped a boss and did not count as progress, resetting the level to the start. I find this a problem as it consumes all of your time and starts all over again, wasting time to complete it again. Or maybe it was still going and nothing really happened. 5. Empty space- may not sound like much but this kind of bug lasts for quite a while; so long that most of your support tanks or power ups even when they’re at max die out in a couple of seconds later, which causes you to lose a lot of power. This can become an annoyance after going trough them a few times. I hope these bugs get fixed to make the game feel smooth and fair. Good luck to you all! b(•w•)d ### 3/5 — Bubbles *2018-06-19, version 1.1.1* I want bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Meh *2018-05-31, version 1.1.1* Not that great nor fun. ### 4/5 — Great game, but I am too overpowered *2018-05-21, version 1.1.1* This a great game. Destroying waves of enemies and upgrading your tanks is very satisfying, however, once you unlock Felix (the best tank), you become way too overpowered. Once you realize that the shield power up allows you to kill entire waves of enemies just by touching them, and once you realize that Felix’s fully charged special (SPC) ability can pretty much kill ANY boss instantly at a close range, the game starts to become boring. I’m only on level 90 or so, but the levels aren’t getting more challenging fast enough. I’m clearing every enemy that is spawned in a level without even trying. In short, this game is very entertaining and super addicting at first, but once you unlock all the tanks and learn how the game works, it becomes boring simply because you become too powerful and the enemies only getting slightly more powerful each level. ### 4/5 — Great, but flawed in ways. *2018-01-18, version 1.0.15* This game is great, but it easily becomes boring and repetitive over time. I reccomend adding some more enemies, such as an enemy that might spring to different sides, waits a bit, then repeats, or maybe an enemy that moves at 0.5x normal speed but is only killed with specials. ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-01-06, version 1.0.15* My husband and my 7 year old were having so much fun I had to download it, too. Now, I can’t put it down. ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-01-02, version 1.0.15* Fun for days ### 5/5 — Love I really do love it *2017-12-31, version 1.0.15* love ### 4/5 — Great Game *2017-12-28, version 1.0.15* Wish bolts were easier to come by, however I do like that ads are not as prominent. I wish you would watch ads for gears ### 5/5 — Great *2017-12-27, version 1.0.15* Really fun and cool I like tanks :) ### 5/5 — Awsome *2017-12-25, version 1.0.15* Awsome awsome 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ### 4/5 — Fantastic game *2017-12-18, version 1.0.15* Great game! Love it! But I wish bolts would show up more. Also can you add a Terminator as one of the tank buddies or the enemies? Also I like how you don’t display adds every time you die and instead display add after you die several times. Can you add an upgrade to increase fire rate and not the fire rate power up thing. Also can you do seasonal updates like for christmas you could add Santa hats or Santa suits on some of the enemies or for Halloween put pumpkins on the sides of the path and dress the enemies up as monsters or for Valentine’s Day dress some enemies up like angels or for St. Patrick’s day dress some enemies up as leprechauns and add clovers to the side of the path or for Presidents’ Day dress some of the enemies as past presidents or for- Okey! You get the idea! You could also have those red laser walls with enemy on each side one lane thinner and make it move from side to side. Hope I gave you developers an idea.👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2020-07-20, version 1.1.4* Great game but I purchased an item three times and all three times it never came through so developer either give me my three purchases of medium bolts like I paid for.😡😡 ### 1/5 — :finley *2019-12-29, version 1.1.3* It is impossible to beat ### 1/5 — Bosses too hard *2019-07-01, version 1.1.3* The mushroom looking boss is just too hard! I’ve been stuck on that boss for 3 months! S U P E R B A D ### 1/5 — Glitches *2018-08-09, version 1.1.1* Every time you die it sits there and doesn’t hit restart. I have to restart the game every time by closing and reopening. It is a cool game just has annoying glitches. ### 1/5 — Pay to Win *2018-01-15* Netter Zeitvertreib, aber nur sehr schwer voran zu kommen ohne Einkauf von Sternen oder Münzen. ### 1/5 — Play 1 level you’ve played the game *2017-12-20, version 1.0.15* Every level is the exact same. There are about 4 different bosses. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-12-15, version 1.0.13* Rubbish rubbish rubbish ### 1/5 — A publicity game *2017-12-13, version 1.0.13* Only pub and pub... ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-12-07, version 1.0.12* The first tank you get is trash and once I reached level 11 Bubbles still wasn’t unlocked even though he is supposed to be unlocked at level 10 ### 1/5 — Doesn't even open *2017-12-07, version 1.0.12* Won't open ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like the cuphead of galaga *2026-03-21, version 1.1.4* This game is absolute peak. The boss fights feel easy for me too easy the one I’m gonna go with like the helicopter boss, but overall I do like this game please make a sequel to it? ### 5/5 — Reeee *2020-02-29, version 1.1.3* We lost our progress we were on that guy shooting lazer cannons ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2020-02-13, version 1.1.3* I like the game. ### 5/5 — Tank + mignon *2019-11-10* J’avais Toujours rêver de trouver un jeu comme celui la ### 5/5 — Tank Buddies *2018-06-16, version 1.1.1* Real cheap fun. Love it. Good balanced game. ### 5/5 — Cute Em Up❗️ *2018-06-14, version 1.1.1* Very nice and generous Dev that has created an Awesome Shmup. I’m about to get my 3rd Prestige and leveling up seem slow at first tho with some grinding and time you should be wiping out waves with the best of em. Thank You June 12th 2018 The gameplay iz more balance with the Devs correction of keeping your Tank Buddies after you prestige. With all the leveling up and prestigious amounts of heArtwork put into this Cute em Up you are sure to have a Funtaztic time blastin away the baddies and Bosses. Thank You Very Much Kiseki GamesFor Your Cool iOS Creation 🚀👾🚀SHMUP🚀👾🚀 ### 5/5 — Great Game, Great Mechanics *2018-06-02, version 1.1.1* I’m incredibly impressed by this game. First off, it’s free and the ads are optional - you can watch some 30 second slots to double coins after a run for example. So yeah there’s literally no reason not to give it a try to see if it’s for you. This game successfully created an experience where you are only dragging and releasing your finger. No other buttons or anything. This has its occasional drawbacks when you are sort of forced to fire your special weapon, but the special recharges so quickly it really doesn’t matter. I’d recommend to new users to fine-tune sensitivity in settings until you find the perfect fit. It’s a bit of a grind to unlock all the characters (unless you pay), but honestly it’s not THAT much tougher than I would expect any game with unlockable characters to be. I mean it was harder to unlock all the characters in N64 smash back in the day, for example. All in all a great arcade game to waste some time on. Good job devs! ### 5/5 — Peux plus lâcher... ^^ *2018-05-11* Il est excellent, c’est punchy, un peu difficile aussi, fun, coloré et super efficace. Un grand merci aux développeurs pour votre esprit. C’est cool. ### 5/5 — Great but repetitive *2018-03-12, version 1.0.15* great game but I.T feels so repetitive after you reach a certain level. The same 3 or 4 bosses, same enemies, they just get more health as you progress. Please add more content so I can play more and support. ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-01-17, version 1.0.15* I love this game and it is fun to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
