The game is not only fun, but the best part is, the amount of ads you get is very fair, not annoying or obtrusive at all, and unlike many other games, doesn’t drain your battery, or freeze your phone. No pay to win either. I also love the artwork, and design of the jellyfish! ### 5/5 — Ridiculously addicting and fast paced *2020-08-25, version 1.0.4* Only thing I play in between breaks now. The progression gets addicting ### 4/5 — Good time-waster *2020-08-24, version 1.0.4* It's a good game, very pretty and has pretty decent mechanics. There is a bit of a learning curve but after 5 rounds or so I picked it up fairly easily. Ads aren't in your face but aren't sparing either. My only real complaints are that there's not any real progression to it, it's just a standard arcade style game, and that coins seem to only be spent on skins, not upgrades or anything productive to gameplay. All in all, it's a good game to play when you just want to mindlessly entertain yourself without having to think too hard about anything. ### 5/5 — Great for Kids! *2020-08-24, version 1.0.4* My son thoroughly enjoys playing this game. Any time we’re at a place where he can’t really find any entertainment, this keeps him occupied and he has a lot of fun! The best part is, it’s a non-addicting game for all ages, so you can let your kids play without worry and you can enjoy playing it yourself when you have some down time! TEN OUT OF TEN!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-08-23, version 1.0.4* A very fun casual game! Very reminiscent of space invaders but with it’s own unique twist on the concept! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-08-22, version 1.0.4* If youre looking for a fun mobile game to pass the time then this app is great for you. Ive been having lots of fun with it! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2020-08-22, version 1.0.4* YOU CAN PLAY THIS GAME FOR HOURS! I can finally live the life I always wanted as a glowing starfish! ### 5/5 — So much better than Gloria Victis *2020-08-22, version 1.0.4* Seriously one of the greatest games I’ve ever played in my life. Legion is trash. RIP Fobby 8/12/2020. ## Frequently asked questions about TapStar ### What is TapStar's gameplay like?
