So much untapped potential
     
by wxhgcvkhcjh35898435 · June 9, 2026

This game is so amazing. I love the art style,gameplay, and overall feel. But there isn’t enough content. I’m always so disappointed when an amazing game like this ends shortly. I love the story mode but you should totally add other content. Like a multiplayer aspect where you can fight other people’s ships. Even a non storyline aspect that doesn’t end would be amazing. I just wanted to give you an idea for a game that has the potential to be extremely popular and lucrative. I just hope you see the potential of your own game.

Great game but
     
by honest person named wrecks · June 20, 2026

I love this game and have played it for years and years. I just wish there was more game!

Since the beginning
     
by ScottEwhyme · May 24, 2026

I have been playing this game off and on for years now and it has always made me smile. The only thing I wish for is more content I’ve played every difficulty and beaten it on black hole more times than I can count. I at least want the large ship that always teased when you reset maybe a couple of more missions too I know it’s asking a lot but I’ve always loved this game and there’s nothing else quite like it on mobile sincerely a dedicated fan.

Good game but not very deep
     
by Danieldubs · March 19, 2025

The game mechanics and scenarios you face are fun. But I was expecting a little more story and depth to the game. There are no playable large ships, and the story just repeats itself over and over. I was expecting a little more depth from this game.

Lock up
     
by slugoz · January 12, 2025

Looks interesting but the game freezes up during the tutorial.

Greatness (but no iPad sound)
     
by Chrsparrish · April 3, 2025

the game is better than I expected. I’m hooked. after the iOS 18 update, though, it doesn’t play sound on iPads. the sounds and music are a big part of the game, so that definitely needs worked out.

Kinetic
     
by ThomasAlice · July 5, 2025

I thought it would be more of a strategy game, but it’s mostly reflexes. You have to be able to tap quickly and accurately. That leaves me out. Other than tapping, there isn’t really a lot to do. There is a LOT of grinding and repetition.

Won’t load - Update Fixed
     
by GatorHater44 · June 19, 2025

Update - problem has been fixed. The latest update killed the game. I can no longer get past the load screen. Please fix. I’m on iPhone 16 with latest iOS 18.whatver
