For some reason I am unable to start the game - it continuously shows the opening animation and only occasionally starts to play the game. ### 4/5 — Fun little shooter *2012-12-06, version 0* This is a fun five minute game. One thing is lacking: high scores! ### 3/5 — Average *2012-07-22, version 0* This is somewhat amusing, I am a WWII fan and I think it's cool demolishing zero fighter bomber planes, it's kind of hard though, the most Japanese bomber planes I've destroyed yet are 35. ### 4/5 — Oops *2012-05-20, version 0* I actadently brought this game cos I thought it was free! It's quite good but very hard! Not worth 69p ### 2/5 — Good Idea *2011-03-10, version 0* This game has potential; yet is bogged down by endless levels. Overall not worth money. ### 4/5 — Good *2011-01-08, version 0* I like the game but I think it needs a campaign where you unlock missions and it gets harder every time. ### 3/5 — Worth it *2010-07-30, version 0* Good game. I like it. Update to better graphics more sounds and backgrounds. And more accurate gun. ### 2/5 — Come on *2010-04-01, version 0* I mean this is a complete waste of money. All you do is shot the aircraft and it doesn't even change backgrounds. Pointless ### 3/5 — Well... *2010-02-06, version 0* It's a good idea, but it's kinda unrealisistic.for example, zeros don't drop torpedos. It's the Japanese torpedo bomber nicknamed the "Kate" that drops torpedoos, not the zero. And what about a pause button. Where are the options? I want to calaborate the motion controls. I want to adjust control sensetivity. Create another version with these things in it ASAP. Dr. Moxie ### 4/5 — Zero hour *2009-10-31, version 0* This is a pretty good app it's pretty fun. ### 4/5 — Um ok *2009-09-17, version 0* Have like high scores or something .. One cool thing would be is if u could fight another ship lol just a dream ### 3/5 — Its Okay . i agree with the other guy (could use some different targets and maybe different guns) *2009-08-24* i said everything in the title ### 2/5 — Uhh... *2009-06-01, version 0* Well, this game has potential. I would however like to point out several flaws that give it little replay value. 1: Endless levels 2: Same plane type 3: The gun fires yellow dots every second or so Anyway, the rate of fire is totally inadaquate, there is no way of saving hi-scores, and there isn't any PURPOSE!!! Update? Please!?!?! ### 3/5 — A new idea!!!! *2009-05-22, version 0* Can we upgrade (by # of kills) to other guns. Like a big cannon or a faster firing gun. That would be REALLY cool! Jonathan ### 2/5 — Zero hour *2009-05-19, version 0* The game could use some help and you need to be able to fly the planes that would be a cool thing to play ### 3/5 — Zerohour *2009-04-23, version 0* Great game. Could use different levels.But a kool game. I like the graphics. ### 2/5 — ZeroHour *2009-04-18* Controls either too sensitive or unresponsive even after reboot. Which I had to do after the guns got stuck in the up position. Can't wait for improved version ### 3/5 — Awesome *2009-04-04, version 0* It's a great game but it would be awesome if there was a sequel where you could take out battleships with the big guns ### 3/5 — Hard to shoot down planes *2009-02-11* This game is not bad, but very difficult to shoot down planes. The controls are way to touchy. ### 2/5 — Ok *2009-02-08, version 0* It's sorta fun wouldn't really recommend it ### 4/5 — Great but.. *2009-02-08* This is a great and fun app but if u play with sound this game lages alot so please fix this problem ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap *2020-03-12, version 2.2* I downloaded and the game wouldn’t start. ### 1/5 — Would not load on latest IPHONE OS *2011-12-19, version 0* Bought game, would not load on OS 5.XX. Waste of money and time. ### 1/5 — Really *2011-07-08, version 0* Waste of money Awful grafics Hard controls I wouldnt recomend this app ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2011-04-14, version 0* Not worth the money and even if it's made free it's not worth the time to get it ITS CRAP ### 1/5 — Ok *2009-01-24, version 0* It's a great game it just needs more goals and better graphics ### 1/5 — Controls *2008-12-03, version 0* The controls are so mest Don't by this game ### 1/5 — Worth a buck, controls sloppy *2008-11-29, version 0* Probably will stay on last home screen, should be tilt based and not thumb aimed ### 1/5 — ? *2008-11-18, version 0* You will play it once and never again. Go buy some candy. ### 1/5 — LOUSY CONTROLS *2008-11-15, version 0* I just wasted a buck,should have bought a pepsi instead.DO NOT WASTE YOUR $. ### 2/5 — Asdfgg *2012-01-04, version 0* Honestly, there is deffitnealy potential for this game and for $.99 it is Almost not worth it. The controls are a bit crappy too so make some adjustments ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun *2011-04-03, version 0* Man this game is a endless kill zone, ### 5/5 — Great! *2010-01-20, version 0* For 50p, amazing. I was reluctant to buy this at first because most 50p 3D games either don't work or are just awful. Stumbled across it on the app store and gave it a try. Best 50p I have spent in a long time. Great for passing time. Try it, if you don't like it, it's only 50p. ### 5/5 — Awsum *2010-01-08* I have been looking for an amti air gun like this one for awile could use an update but still kick A55!!! ### 5/5 — Good game *2009-11-10, version 0* This is a very good for 99 cents the graphics are okay but besides that it's a very good game ### 5/5 — Well done *2009-01-05* Very fun, the controls are cool, the affects are great but you could use more work on the fire Can't wait for something else ### 5/5 — Tons of Fun! *2008-12-29* This game is great! It's challenging, addicting, and super fun! The controls are a bit tricky, but not too bad. The graphics are great and the music and sound effects are good too. Definitely worth $.99 ### 5/5 — Im first !!!!!! HA HA HA *2008-12-22, version 0* I am first to give a review on this game go me any way the game is quite fun and well worth it for just 59p!! ### 5/5 — Developers *2008-12-06* Good game here. I have just one request. How about different levels or something of the sort instead of shooting down plane after plane untill you die. This would give the player more of a sense of accomplishment. Just a thought. Thanks ### 5/5 — Amazing app. *2008-11-20* This is a great app for ipod touch! i have a game like this for the computer and personally i think the one on the ipod touch is better!!! i do think you should be able switch from different weapons on the ship. also amazing price ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME, WELL WORTH 99 CENTS *2008-11-20* Great game, though it has sloppy controls, quite challenging aswell. I would like to see in a future update: different sceneries, enemies, upgrades (ship & weapons), and the possibility to switch to different gun turrets. If no one agrees with me on this one, I'll believe that I'm crazy and expect too much... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
