**What reviewers complain about**

- 🙅‍♂️ Bad app support
- 🙅‍♂️ Worst game ever
- 💰 Good if you don't care about ads
- 🐛 Fix level 16
- 🙅‍♂️ Can't X out of ads

**Reported bugs**

- Level 16 the add always freezes up and I have restarted the level 3 times
- Mission 21 is impossible to get all 12 marines
- The banshee levels could be fixed and the automatic weapons should kill elites in two or three shots, not one. The automatic weapons could be given more ammo to counter this. Also brutes, hunters and elites should deal more damage than jackals and there should be energy sword elites and maybe gravity hammer brutes later in the run that can kill you in one hit
- All of the characters in the game are copyrighted so kiss money goodbye, fake halo game
- The enemy sprites need to be added instead of just blobs cause the blobs just get in the way of the experience of the game it's supposed to feel like halo yes well the enemy's you can't tell what they are you can't tell if it's forerunners or Covinet or Prometheus you can't tell

**Requested features**

- Make a RTS halo game!
- Put this spartan into super Mario bros?
- Dark mode option

- Playable Eleates (Elites) where you can customize their armor and stuff and get like different suits with an alien weapon
