味方が来た時は、高度を下げて、爆撃で味方を挟むように
打つといい

### 3/5 — Better than et on atari at least

*2018-12-22*

(Idk about original nintendo probably wouldve been playable then 😂) But might b better with 3 lives and a small upgrade system, more lift, glide upgrade, option to shoot down or forward, small ad support to support u making these changes 😜

### 2/5 — The apocalypse of nothing happening is upon us!

*2017-07-12*

No joke! Nothing happens! Although if t touch the screen it makes an explosion sound, and takes me to the leaderboard! Please fix this so that I can shoot retro zombies in a retro gunship! Please! 
But I will give you an extra star for motivation! Yay!
🤢🔫✈️

### 1/5 — Can't Even Play

*2017-06-04, version 1.0.4*

A white static screen that obscures it

### 1/5 — Broken on iPhone 7

*2017-05-14*

Didn't work on iPhone 5, 6, or 7. I tried it because I liked the other Limbic gunship game. The other one is great. This one has a grid of static where the playing space should be.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. IT IS A WASTE.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2017-05-14*

On iPad mini 4 it does not work at all.

### 1/5 — Why

*2017-05-07, version 1.0.4*

Your game is broken

### 2/5 — Why You No Work?!

*2017-05-02, version 1.0.4*

No work, why? You..

### 3/5 — Won't play

*2017-04-10*

I'm sure this game is great, but after the title screen it just shows a white screen then a game over screen. Not about to give one star because of this so I hope it gets fixed!

### 1/5 — Doesn't even work!

*2017-03-09, version 1.0.4*

Downloaded this game three times and all I got was a blank screen with music

### 1/5 — SMH

*2017-01-22, version 1.0.4*

It's broken. Don't bother downloading it.

### 1/5 — Broken.

*2016-12-29*

Like the title says, this game is straight up broken. Doesn't display any graphics, just a white screen and sound. Don't bother.

### 1/5 — Ugly

*2016-08-17*

Black screen with horizontal line after start. 
iphone 5s

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-08-05, version 1.0.4*

Just shows a black screen

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-07-28*

Once I try to start the game, the screen is blank - sometimes white, sometimes black. Touching the screen causes you to lose and a restart and status box pops up. Reinstalling doesn't change the bug.

### 1/5 — Unfit for purpose

*2024-09-13*

Tap to stay up, don’t shoot civilians, simple right? No. It’s Impossible to not crash when you stop tapping for a split second to avoid civilians. Just avoid this game and delete it once you see how bad this game is.

### 1/5 — NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!!!

*2023-08-27, version 1.0.4*

The game needs an update because it doesn’t download on mobile.

### 1/5 — Update the game 😡

*2023-08-12, version 1.0.4*

Just update the game😡

### 1/5 — I have not played

*2023-04-12, version 1.0.4*

This game is not compatible on iOS con you fix that?

### 1/5 — Update the game now

*2022-06-18, version 1.0.4*

I cant play the game cause it says “the developer has to update it”

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-12-29*

Won’t flip round when i move my phone - iPhone 7. I hold my phone a specific way when playing games - so for the game not to play both ways round us just annoying. Gameplay is dreadful too though so uninstalled immediately. Don’t bother - Flappy Bird was crap anyway.

### 1/5 — Black screen after start. No game process shown at all.

*2017-12-21*

Black screen after start. No game process shown at all. Game itself goes in background - after few seconds plane crashes and score us shown.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-08-30, version 1.0.4*

All I see is a black screen with a white strip and then it's game over with 136 as my score.

### 1/5 — Blank?

*2017-07-22*

Like others, I'm having the problem where the screen is blank white or black, the music plays, and then when you touch the screen, game over. If you guys would fix it, I'll play it. I'd like to try it, but.....

### 1/5 — Black screen iPad 2

*2017-06-07*

I get a black screen when i press play.

*2021-12-28*

アップデートしてくださいとでてプレイできません

### 5/5 — ZGArcade

*2020-07-30, version 1.0.4*

Tough game; but it’s a good one. “Don’t Shoot the Humans”

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-02-20*

Amazing game, very challenging. Something you could quickly play to when you’re waiting for someone, or sick on your bed.

### 5/5 — Please update

*2017-05-26*

Please update, won't work on my devices

### 5/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-03-27*

I've downloaded and redownloaded this app three times and after hitting start its just a black screen for a minute then the scoreboard appears. Please fix this. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Ggwp

*2015-06-09*

Cool

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2014-07-31*

Good times!!

### 5/5 — Needs Improvements!

*2014-07-22*

It'd be cool if you let us choose which skin to use if we bought the "Disable Ads" IAP. I like to change things up when i like :P

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-07-18*

awesome simple and just stupid hard, great change I enjoy both of the zombie gunship apps.

### 5/5 — Fun game but.......

*2014-07-16*

This is a fun and challenging game that I am sure is a response to flappy bird. Even though this game is good, I loved the first game so much more and I believe that Limbic should continue to update and improve that game, as I feel there is room for improvement. Thank you, Limbic, for making some great games but the best you will ever make is Zombie Gunship.
