8 of 15This game is unplayable on an iPad Pro due to a low frame rate and irresponsive controls.
Hello I don’t see any problems I think your should add a alien crab boss fight and you have to destroy its 8 eyes to win (make this the last level)
I love this GAME but it will not work on my iPad i can’t play it anymore.😭 I would love if you updated it to work🤩.PLEASE🙏🏿! I Would be in you debt. Update for IOS11.THANKS🤗.
Ok so hear me out it is an awwwwwwwwwssssssome game but the controls are really annoying please fix it also the invaders come way to fast so I don’t have a chance to do anything and my crab keeps getting its claws stuck plus I can only play for a few seconds and then it crashes for no reason please fix all of this and if you do maybe I won’t sue you guys ok 😟😠😟😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😟 also I want more characters like a robot Crabitron or an upgrade for bigger claws or a boss that is your clone and an ending where you take over the world or something or different maps or a leg upgrade so you can walk in the game but please please please please add better controls and if you don’t I will sue you.
This is my second favorite game on my iPad, but now you need to update it. I have had great fun playing with friends and family, but now I can’t ever play again unless you update it. I hope that you have enough time to dedicate to this project.
I don’t have any arms so I can’t play this (JOKE THIS GAME GOOD)
Not much else to say but it’s a good game.
Game is great, but why does the crab have a barcode for 1 star-reviewed pomegranate juice on its body? 😔😔😔 🚫🏳️🌈
