### 5/5 — Very fun

*2023-10-07, version 1.0.4*

When I was a kid I used to love this game and i still love it now but I really wish that you could have modes and have multiplayer so you can play with your friends and see who could get more kills buts still this game so fun that’s why I gave it a five star

### 2/5 — Оценка от ютубера2

*2022-10-19*

Добавте пвп режим чтобы можно было игра на 2 растреливать друг друга

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2021-09-25*

This is a good game I have been playing this for 5 years and I never had any problems:)

### 1/5 — Worst

*2019-04-28*

This not a good game I hate this game . We don’t get new weapons,two player

### 4/5 — Good game

*2018-08-01*

Good game but it needs major fixes.

### 1/5 — Still a long way to go

*2018-05-21*

Still so much to develop in this. The strategy for player is not well done. Everything is probable. Like even if you are the best player you can get killed in a sec after the start of the game. Game is being played in background when ad pops up. Eventually you will die.

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2017-12-07*

Too easy to beat the game. Just shoot randomly forward non-stop and all enemy archers are dead before they can draw. Once you realise this, the game feels pointless

### 1/5 — This compared to the second one:

*2017-11-10*

This one has some things that I don't like: no ragdolls, no shields, no better bows or arrows, and 2 has all of that! I don't know why you made this instead of making 2 one. I don't know what to give instead of one star. I hope you can improve this now!!!!!!!!! ☄☄☄☄💥🔥💥💥🔥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥🔥🔥💥🔥💥💥💥💥🔥⚡️💥💥🔥⚡️🔥💥💥🔥

### 5/5 — Читер лучник

*2017-09-05*

Классная игра и копеметатель !

### 2/5 — It's nice but got boring really fast

*2017-05-13*

I played a few rounds before figuring out a cheat and destroying it's a boring game overall :/
