Status 2024-03-03: The game is fun to pass some time. The starting levels are easy and rewarding with a steeper curve in the levels after 50. There are daily rewards. Downsides: upgrades and abilities are spread across multiple menus not consistently accessible. Often between menu changes promotion screens are presented to be clicked away. The last update end of Feb24 has game freezes often late in a level/game. The update before that broke the 'watch a video' for a reward in the free version.

Great scrolling shooter. The ability to switch between 2 ships while playing makes for an additional strategy aspect. Paid for the no adds forever pack which is a great option vs. monthly pay. Now the only annoying thing is popup asking me to review so hopefully this will fix that and 1x a day I have to close out the special pack popup but can choose not to see it again that day, wish there was an option to never see that ever but 1x a day isn't bad. Overall it's a fun game very customizable.

Compulsive, money-grabbing gameplay with endless grinding that clearly grows dull in short order without regular cash injections - and that's if you continue paying regularly to keep the game ad-free. A one-off payment to remove ads is one thing. That you must subscribe to a membership to avoid them is absurd. Secondly, nearly half the ships available in the game require direct cash purchase. I've been given a free VIP pass that appears to last about a week. I will not continue after it expires.

It's better than most space shooting games but they try to force you to pay for the premium. They have it to where it says you can watch ads to get several things but the ads haven't worked this entire time I've been playing. They gave me premium for a few days for free due to the issues with the ads (of which I have no problem watching) but still haven't fixed the issue.

There's too much going on when playing!! TOO MANY different colors zipping around when I am being fired upon! I can't figure out what's what & it makes a difference as idk when I need to move! SO FAR the FREE rewards are REALLY GREAT & PLENTIFUL!! It's a little confusing bc there are 2 main ships, I think!?! I think they switch back and forth when playing but idk & don't get me going on the side buttons?? My ship hasn't needed any additional help... so far. The freebies are REALLY GREAT SO FAR🫡

I downloaded several of these types of games at 1 time. This is the one I kept. The ability to increase the firepower of your aircraft is better than the other games. The rewards come more often and are more plentiful than the other games. It is always challenging without becoming unbeatable. In the level of the 80's it does get real difficult but still beatable. Overall an enjoyable game than I go to when I want to destress.

So far I haven't had a single problem out of the game yet. But my rating will change according to how my experiences with the game go, down the road! Edit: I accidentally deleted the app, because my phone was glitching, when I went to get rid of a couple other apps, and now, when I try to get into the part where it says to restore my old profile, the screen turns black, with the little icon down in the lower right corner, and the music plays. That's all it does.

This game is fun. But how you earn diamonds to get next ship upgrades is horrendously slow. You can't advance fast enough to catch up to other players without making in-game purchases. Purchases that make no sense at all. Why would anyone want to play a game where watching ads help you stay in one spot for a year? A waste of time watching ads. And again,. The gameplay is fun.

I'm about 50 levels into the game and one major issue I have is that the short range "buzzsaw" type planes are way too strong and the ranged planes feel too weak. The short ranged planes can just sit at the top of the screen and destroy everything. I only use the ranged planes for bosses. Also, the amount of boxes, cards, and daily missions seems like a mess. There are multiple, confusing menus that look cluttered and many of them don't tell you what the item does. Please streamline the menus.

Best arcade space shooter. All the other's don't compare. Graphics are great. Game play is pretty fair it's good for beginners as well as experts. Multiple ways to upgrade the spaceships. They obviously took there time creating the game, instead of just throwing it together for some fast $$$. If you pay for the premium version you don't have to watch any ads. That might be the best part of the whole game. Hat's off to the creators good job.

Recent update introduced incessant pop up ads that cannot be skipped. The dev response makes no sense. The use of a free game is a deal between the developer and the user. The user watches some ads in exchange for some value: either just the gameplay itself or an in-game item. If you change the amount of ads the user must watch to access the same value in the game, you changed the deal for the worse. I don't object to seeing ads. I object to being bombarded with them with no added value.

Downgrade to 2 stars as my Premium membership disappeared despite being 'Forever'. I didn't change anything, it just disappeared. It was a good game overall, but there was a change just prior to me downloading where gems could not be earned by repeating levels. This makes progression require purchasing packs of gems unless you want to slowly advance over years. 4 stars for all the pop-ups for in-game purchases. Too intrusive for me. But I'll keep playing because the game itself is great!

Honestly, I did not expect the game to be so good. The no ads approach is great, maybe because of the free Premium they give. The speed setting in the pause menu is probably the best feature. Allowing 2x speed up for easier lvls and slow for higher and more difficult levels. It has a good level system, I'm noticing all the way up to 50 its fairly easy. Past that the enemies HP is higher. Boss complexity scales with higher levels giving the player a challenge to look forward to every 10 levels.

Easy to pick up and put down. Paying the $20 for the premium version is well worth it. There are only one reason for not giving this game 5 stars, and that is the Fusion system. In the game, you get item upgrades for your ships, but it is controlled by a random generator, in addition to the ratios being poorly skewed. It makes going for (and therefore, investing in) fusing items relatively pointless. With the exception of that setup, this game is easily one of best time-killers I have played.

Generally speaking this is a fun time killer. The things keeping from being a 5 star game to me is the lack of explanation about what any of the upgrades are or the various items you pick up. The other issue, and the most annoying one, is the constant "please rate us" message I see every few minutes. Edit: game was fun until it started crashing midway every game I played. Nothing like losing your progress and having to start over again and again and...

Excellent! Graphics are good, the game is fun. Gets tougher as you go, but not so quickly that I just get frustrated because it's "impossible" to win. I might have to restart several times, but not so often that I just quit playing. Actually, it's addictive once you start. The one negative is: programmers need to give SOME instruction on upgrading the ships, having multiple ships in play, the drones, and other equipment available for use. I've had to trial and error figure out these things.

Reminiscent of classic arcade shooters but revamped for the new generations. I like the seemless switching of space crafts and the customizable upgrades. A big issue I have is that you acquire many items from completing missions and from boxes but there's no description for anything you're collecting so I don't understand what things are, why I'm collecting them or how much I need to make something. The offers infest the menu's and it feels a bit pushy. It makes me less likely to spend $.
