### 5/5 — Top

*2022-09-22*

After Antiyoy, another great game! Thank you

**Developer response:** You're welcome :)

### 5/5 — Wonderful game, deserves more attention.

*2022-07-16*

I got the free version and had a blast, wanted to create my own levels and that’s fun too, the ability to play calm and slow or fast and sloppy and both can work! It’s really fun with minimal flaws. In the level editor I just wish you could have doors pre-blocked from the start, and more refined building mechanics. Other than those issues mostly in the editor this is by far my favorite mobile game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the good words :)

### 5/5 — upgrades people, upgrades!

*2022-05-30*

recently bought shproty. excellent game. basically just bought this to support the devs but the free one is amazing

**Developer response:** Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-05-15*

Great for passing time

**Developer response:** Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Добавьте пожалуйста

*2022-05-07*

Добавьте пожалуйста чтобы спецназовцы убивали бандитов успевших выстрелить

**Developer response:** Спасибо за идею, я подумаю.

### 5/5 — First time reviewing

*2022-02-06*

I have never reviewed a game before but I love this game. I hope that this game gains more popularity . Hope to see more updates in the future!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review :)

### 5/5 — IM ADDICTED

*2022-01-31*

THIS game is sooo fun. But does not update that much and I wish I could play with more swat members 
Also, I think there should be a multiplayer where they fight to the death thanks for reading

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-12-15*

Верните предыдущую версию, пожалуйста. Чтобы время не останавливалось когда убивают спецназ — бесит очень

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply.

### 5/5 — Writing to the Developer

*2021-07-03*

Gotta say, you made an awesome game AND avoided microtransactions/ads. Really respect it, awesome game with a fun idea, super well designed. Doubt anyone’ll read this, but if the developer does, I wanted to personally thank you for turning my hours of waiting I do for my job into hours of legitimate fun. Really well done, buying the pro as thanks.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the good words :)

### 5/5 — Boom! Storm the room!

*2021-05-19*

Great game, the free version gives more away than some ten pounders I’ve bought and is fun on multiple devices. You can really start to question yourself when plans and situations become ‘compromised`, in a good way mind. 
Support this Developer if you can, so worth the privilege of enjoyment available in either version. 
It’s horrid when you get shot up all over, finish with one agent who has seen too much 😂

**Developer response:** Thanks for good reply :D

### 5/5 — I love the update.

*2021-05-18*

Thanks for adding some of the things I suggested. Definitely worth the wait. I can’t wait to see if you add more to the game later.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply. I’ll add ragdolls in next update. Would be nice to add blood splats but it would affect age rating. Also, with level editor you can spawn more than 4 swat members :)

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2021-04-15*

Like a simple door kickers

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply.

### 5/5 — Perfect minimalist tactical game

*2021-01-20*

I’ve spent many hours perfecting and clearing all missions.

**Developer response:** Thanks for good reply.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-12-21*

Simple easy fun game!

I bought the app to support the developer... I rarely do, but the fact they didn’t make annoying micro transactions or ads, I wanted to show some love for not doing so. Fun little game... thanks developer!

**Developer response:** Thank you too for your support :)

### 5/5 — Simply fantastic, Definitely worth the money

*2020-12-15*

I actually went out of my way to review this game. 
This is honestly the first App Store review I have ever left and I’ve owned an IOS device for like 10 years now.
This game is a really great concept and the minimalist approach makes it even better. It’s easy to pick up and learn, and as you progress it gets harder and harder and eventually you get to a point where you feel very stoked to beat the level you are on.
 Having played a couple other games like this, I will say this one feels the most complete and the most visually appealing. 
If you only have a few games on your phone, you better include this one, it is a definite hidden gem.

**Developer response:** Thank you for good review :)

### 1/5 — Editor problem

*2021-10-30*

Nothing shows up when i play my editor levels

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Please email me (yiotro93@gmail.com) with more details about this problem, I'll help you.

### 1/5 — Fun game but repetitive normal levels and you can’t play music!!!

*2020-12-11*

I’d give this game a higher rating but it stays at one star as long as the game prevents me from playing Spotify in the background. Really kills the enjoyment

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply. I plan to fix this problem in next update.

### 3/5 — Lag

*2020-09-20*

Everytime a place a door or make big changes it lags for like 10 minutes please fix that

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply. Please email me (yiotro93@gmail.com) about this problem, I need more info to be able to fix it.

### 3/5 — Review rating may change

*2020-08-18*

I gave the free version 5 stars and told everyone to give it a try.. not I’m playing the pro version, because I’ve already played it, but I still have to wait for the tutorial on levels. Can you please toggle tutorial off/on? And fix audio not stopping when opening up game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reply. Please check out ‘progress sync’ option in game options. It allows you to skip levels that you’ve already beaten. 
If that didn’t help then you can also email me, I’ll tell you how to easily skip levels: yiotro93@gmail.com

### 4/5 — 미니멀한 실시간 전략 게임

*2025-06-17*

SWAT 활동 외에도 VIP 호위 등의 다양한 임무가 마련되어 있으며
3천원이라곤 믿기지 않는 압도적인 수의 스테이지와 유저 맵,
그리고 한 손으로도 할 수 있을 만큼 간단한 조작법 덕분에
밖에서 시간 죽일 때 아주 요긴한 게임입니다.

단지 몇 가지 신경 쓰이는 점이 있다면 수류탄은
여러 가지 종류(슬라임 수류탄, 연막 수류탄)가 있지만
일부 특수한 수류탄을 제외하고는 범위만 다를 뿐
거기서 거기라는 느낌을 받았습니다.

또 대기하라고 해도 주변에 적이 보이면
요원 혼자 뛰쳐나가는 경우가 있어 답답합니다.
거기에 한 수 무르기 기능이 없다 보니
한번 꼬이면 수습도 안 되고요.

정리하자면 비교적 장단점이 뚜렷한 게임이고,
취향만 맞으면 수작이라 생각합니다.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Please also check out my recent game 'Drevepsina', maybe you'll like it too ;)

### 4/5 — fun in general but some bugs

*2024-02-08*

nice app but eoom for improvement
some user levels dont load at all
when you click on a spot to get a unit there it sometimes randomly runs away to check out the end of a corridor and gets killed. annoying that you can not controll them or turn this off.
sometimes smoke grenades dont work but get used up.

would be much more fun if the units behave predictable

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Please email me (yiotro93@gmail.com) about these problems.

### 4/5 — It's not your fault iphones are garbage.

*2023-03-19*

I love this game and had it on Android. It does not work as well on iphone. Constant bugs and glitches.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Please email me (yiotro93@gmail.com) with more details about the bugs, maybe I will be able to fix them.

### 5/5 — Hope to update some content

*2026-08-25*

1. Hope to get more detailed route paths (so we can do some basic CQB stuff). 2. Add a feature to rotate the player's view direction

### 5/5 — Fun game with good difficulty

*2025-10-12*

Can be frustratingly difficult but never impossible I’ve always loved the gameplay would love to see more ad free games like this

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review. Please also check out my other games 'Opacha-mda' and 'Drevepsina', maybe you'll like them too ;)

### 5/5 — Amazing series of games!

*2025-05-13*

Just recently discovered this dev and I love all of your games! All super simple and really enjoyable! 

This game is my favourite be awesome to see an upgrade of the game where the maps have multiple levels with larger SWAT teams. Where you could either micromanage each team and decide how they enter each room or simply task the AI to take certain rooms before stopping etc!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the good words and for your ideas :)

*2025-03-15*

One of the best games ever I wish there is more games like this

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-04*

This is one of the best made mobile games I’ve played. It’s simple easy to grasp while still being complex. Well done

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review. Please also check out my newest game 'Drevepsina', maybe you'll like it too ;)

### 5/5 — i love it!

*2024-01-17*

this game is SO fun. i can easily spend hours making a level, trying out levels others made, or just playing the campaign. definitely worth the money. as well as the other games this developer creates, they are very fun, and i love that there are no ads or stupid micro transactions. there isn’t many this wrong with this game, besides maybe the fact that when you want to post your own level, you have to email it to the developer, and wait until the next update. but it makes sense on why he has to do that.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review :)

### 5/5 — Amazing Upgrade

*2023-12-17*

I absolutely love this app, it’s enhanced and easy to use level creator makes the game so much more addicting and opens a lot more opportunities!

I really feel like this game has so much potential and can’t wait for the future updates!

For the price you get so much more than you pay for, and it’s definitely worth it. 5 Stars!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review :)

### 5/5 — DJ

*2023-11-07*

Its good.

**Developer response:** Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Great game; some suggestions

*2023-05-29*

This game is rather hard to find, but it truly is a hidden gem. No ads, free to play, and the only things that you have to pay to get are optional features for those who just want more. I would recommend this purchase if you want to give the level editor a try and maybe create your own fun situations, but I also have some suggestions for the dev:
The game’s main shortcomings(at least those that you could expand upon) are the mechanics and unintuitive design. I wish you could designate “squads” of some kind, because individual unit selection is a pain and isn’t very user friendly. It’s rather difficult to have two separate groups breach an area at the same time from different places, and the actual movement and breaching clearly isn’t made with large groups in mind, but I think the “strategy” aspect of the game is just a luck based sequence of events surrounding items. There is no “cover” command, so it’s not like if I know I can’t rush a room, I could just tell them to stay behind the doorway after throwing a grenade, and shoot from cover. And if I wanted to surround some enemies, it’s not exactly easy when it should be. The “wait for command” helps, but it’s just an easy fix that i think would benefit the gameplay if you could group all currently selected units into a squad that you could quickly select or unselect. Storming large rooms boils down to just who shoots first and using items to influence that, and I wish it was easier to strategize. Altogether, great game, and I hope it continues to grow and improve.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review and for your suggestions, I'll think about them :) 
I also recommend you to try my other games (for example, I released a new game called 'drevepsina' recently), maybe you'll like them too ;)
