### 1/5 — Nope

*2023-07-13, version 1.1.3*

This game is woke trash 👎🏻

### 5/5 — Very fun game!

*2023-01-22*

It gets really difficult quickly but very fun to play. Great graphics also. Playing on iPad pro m2 and runs like a dream!

### 3/5 — appleTV : bug

*2021-03-22*

habe das spiel für 10,99 € gekauft...
jedoch deaktiviere ich die Einstellung : „in-APP-käufe“ für gewöhnlich nach solchen Vorgängen (aus Sicherheitsgründen) 
die APP akzeptiert das aber nicht und will mich dazu zwingen genau diese Einstellung aufzuheben - da es sonst jedes mal in die eingeschränkte Version zurück wechselt... 

Da sieht man mal wieder was passiert, wenn man von der norm abweicht, und wie wenig diese software getestet wird... ständig muss ich solche Rezensionen schreiben und anderen ihre Arbeit machen (natürlich für lau)... es nervt so sehr....

### 5/5 — Srsly? Just a 3.6 rating?

*2020-06-14*

I love this game! It’s amazing. The graphics, the gameplay, controls, unique enemies, amazing storyline, survival, and I just think it was worth the 10 dollars. I’m just disappointed in these ratings...  anyways...  keep up the good work! This is definitely my favorite 2D game of all time.

### 4/5 — The game is beautiful... but

*2019-10-25*

On my device (iPod touch) I found the controls made the game unplayable. I imagine the game plays better on a more advanced platform like a modern iPad (2019)
I WISH this game was available to be played with either a Nintendo hand held device or a Sony PSP / I would buy this game in two seconds of it were available for any gaming system with actual (not touch screen) controls 
Developers... please! Get this game to be for sale through Nintendo!

### 2/5 — Would not buy

*2019-07-26*

just it’s fun just not fun enough to buy

### 2/5 — Nur eine Testversion.

*2019-03-07*

Kein vollständiges Spiel. Titel ist irreführend.

### 5/5 — Very Good game. 10/10

*2018-08-07, version 1.0.8*

I had deleted this game. Because the game doesn't have Chinese and it costs $9.99. But after 1 year I was looking for it in the history to download it and buy the full game. Although I didn't even play the whole game, but I didn't find other games to replace it during the year. I understand that this game is so fun.XD (But I don't know how to connect with others)

### 5/5 — Gostei

*2018-01-08*

É bem legal, mas é pago e tem que ver vídeo pra jogar algumas fases. Mesmo assim, é muito bom.

### 2/5 — Don't buy

*2017-08-04*

The demo was great. When you buy the full game, and you manage to complete it, the storyline is decent too. But I also love it when none of your tech works, like the anti-tracking things that are supposed to keep you alive but don't work, so you lose that ship. Oh, I also love when the enemies come BACK ONTO the screen from the side or back, and attack you while you helplessly try to dodge them. And the best part of this game is when all of the enemies just ram straight into you. You can dodge as many bullets as you want, but they just suicide straight into your ship. Great game, devs. Really worth the money...
