Report an issue"Its high-octane play married with its no-frills, arcade game design keeps me collecting crates and blasting enemies into delightful little pieces of monster." — TouchArcade (5/5) Vlambeer's smash hit SUPER CRATE BOX brings back the glory of the golden arcade age when all that really mattered was getting on that high score list! Grab your baseball cap and loosen your pants, it's time to fight endless hordes of enemies and collect every weapon crate you can. Prepare for an arcade delight with tight controls, refreshing game mechanics, cracking retro art and a terribly hip chiptune soundtrack. ***Supports MFi, XBox, and PlayStation Controllers*** "Supremely straightforward, criminally addictive, and easily the best retro action title I’ve ever played on iOS." - AppAdvice You're put into a combat arena with only a basic weapon and a clear goal: collect as many crates as you possibly can. The enemies will start coming soon, and they won't ever stop. A steady supply of new weapons will be provided by the crates, but you can only hold one weapon at a time. Will the next weapon you find be better than the one you have, or worse? You may want to ride it out a little longer with a weapon you like, but your score won't move if you don't grab those crates. Super Crate Box seems like a straightforward action game, but having to adapt to your ever-changing offensive abilities means no two rounds are ever quite the same. As you collect more crates round after round, you'll unlock new weapons that will have a chance of appearing from then on. Do particularly well in a single round, and you might unlock a new character, arena, or gameplay mode. Each new thing you uncover adds another layer to the game, creating fresh challenges and situations. The enemies continue to get stronger and faster the longer you play, so even the best player will eventually meet their end. How many crates can you claim before then? - Endless Action: You'll never run out of enemies to blast! - Crates Are Great: Grab a crate to get a different weapon and wreak havoc in new ways! - Unlock Cool New Stuff: New weapons! New characters! New stages! - Wacky Weapons: More than a dozen different ways of dealing destruction including rocket launchers, katanas, land mines, and more! - Ambush Mode: Normal Mode not random enough for you? How about randomly appearing enemies? **************************************************

8 of 15Thank you for the fast update that fixed my controls. I was struggling to hit the buttons because the screen was optimized for my larger screen. But now that they work The buttons are too small and close together. My fat fingers keep making me jump and turn the wrong way. If you could add more customization to the controls that would be very helpful. And also nobody knows how to get all the secret characters so give us some hints.
Great little game. Some game center knock off covering it up with dark patterns, trying to get you to sign in and force purchases. It's just gross now.
Thank you for reviving the game!one control issue is that when pressing the left button,if you press a bit too left,it wouldn't register at once,but after a second or two the button displays pressed,and the character starts to move. Other buttons does not seem to have this problem. My device is iPhone 7 Plus,iOS 13.2.2
This game is free on steam for PC and I love the game to bits. One of the first steam games I got into but the fact that I have to pay for it on my phone is straight bull.
The controller support is terrible, I can’t use my analog stick for movement, up is jump for some reason and there are no control options to make this game everything it could be.
Need to transfer saves between devices
This was a wonderful premium game. The developers made all sort of promises about regular updates and then quickly abandoned the game. Even though it came out after the iPhone 5, they never bothered to support its resolution. Their last update note from 6 years ago been apologizes for the delay... Now the game has been resurrected as part of a subscription service. If you had bought the game back when it was premium, after wading through a bunch of pop ups, you can “unlock” the game for free. While the game does fill the screen of modern iPhones, unfortunately the buttons are very poorly placed and are not moveable.
Used to be one of my favorite iPhone games, usually couldn’t go wrong with Vlambeer but now when I try to play this I get gameclub pushes and requests for my info. Terrible can’t believe vlambeer let this happen
