Galaxy Shooter - Falcon Squad Positive Reviews
Enjoy itI was gonna give 4 stars but I just enjoy the game so much, just feels you have to spend money if you want to evolve in the game, I have unlocked 3 ships, and they start at 9.99, you can however earn them, I don’t mind supporting the dev company I just wish it wasn’t so much but you can get deals which I usually will get, so if you don’t mind spending a little money to evolve faster or maybe you don’t have adhd like me and evolve slower you might enjoy too, I really enjoy the arcade style feel, and the graphics look amazing on my iPhone! Thanks for making such a fun game.IT'manVersion: 46.2
Game Quite Fun, Buuuuuut.....Ok, so I'm a fairly new player (about a month or 3 now😁), &I've totally enjoyed the gameplay of this space shooter! My reason for only 3⭐️'s, is I've come across a few glitches you might say. For instance when I've tried to play this Halloween mode, it cut me off when I still had 2 chances left in that go round! I went from trying to start w/still 2 chances left, to accidentally backing out 1 too far, coming right back in, &seeing 2 changed to 0! I couldn't get back in! Not even w/a change of Ships! So, I'm not sure what happened there! Stuff like that keeps happening too! Also I agree w/the thing the other reviewer said about not being able to keep up w/ships after you get into upper levels anymore w/out "purchasing" upgrades! After the 1st few levels it gets too hard to get past the ships, &you just keep losing! No way to bypass them! Not w/out $, that is! I agree w/their recommendation of allowing users to watch ads for upgrade rewards! That'd really help, &help your Ratings! But Please try to fix these little system glitches.✌🏾️😔.Tammie2ToneVersion: 56.2
Fun ShooterThis game is fun and challenging and you can upgrade and progress without the need for in-game purchases. There are plenty of coin multiplier ads and thats how I support you guys. However, there are way too many random ads. The ads at the beginning of levels start when the level begins so the game is going on while the ad plays. What are you trying to do? Make us loose lives to get us to watch the extra life ads? Typical greedy developers. Even worse are the prices to unlock the 3rd drone, the chainsaw, and the 2 best ships. The game is still fun with 3 ships, 2 drones, and 1 ultimate but their is no option to unlock the remaining ships, drone, and chainsaw with currency. The drone is $10, the chainsaw is $10, and the 2 ships are a total of $50. That is unbelievably sickening. That is more than an entire PC game. Why be so greedy? There aren't many ships and drones anyway so why have these insane prices? I really would like to unlock everything so please find it in your heart to have the option to unlock them with hard work and currency..AcEMaNzVersion: 1.4
Dont bother watching adsSo, its boring at first. It takes awhile to get to opponents worth your time. Which is fine cause you need to save up your coins to upgrade to larger ships.
One way to get more coins is after you complete a map, hit that button that is flashing to double or x4 your coons you earned. THIS WILL NEVER WORK, DON’T BOTHER.
Now the videos you do want to watch are located in the upper LH corner of the screen. Should loom like a little play sign. You can earn extra stuff this way about 80% of the time. The other %, nothing will happen. Also, nothing will happen if you watch the video for an extra life if you die. Don’t watch that one either.
Its clear from the start the only way to get better ships and drones is to spend real money, which they are thirsty for from the start. They havn’t earned your patronage yet, but they will want it just the same, which is the way of the gaming world now. For the next ship above the starter ship, its $10 of your hard earned money.
But for some reason if you manage to get the coins for the next ship without spending it on upgrading your current ship to get through those higher levels, you will eventually spend your money on the gems, because “shocker” they are harder to earn, but if def a requirement in upgrading your ship.
All in all, fun game, will get boring without real money, be prepared to bring a blank check..Mommy++++Version: 40.8
Fun but a Waste of TimeThis game is modeled like the other fun arcade shooters but in order to gain the competitive edge and reach the final boss you must upgrade your ship by paying with gold and gems. Gold is not rare but the gems are extremely rare. You need to pay an exorbitant amount of gems that can be required in 2 ways: Playing the game/participating in the trial mode or paying with you hard earned cash or credit. Players are incentivized to choose the latter because it may take years (many years over here) to upgrade your ship to the X rank which is not even the highest peak one can reach. This game is designed to last for infinity (Infinite bosses, infinite ship ranking, infinite players buying into the illusion of progress).
I hope the devs are proud because this is a fantastic business model. They’re probably in the tens of millions..Richard riversVersion: 69.5
Don't fix something what isn't brokenI don't know about you guys but....I REALLY loved the old version it was much more simpler, the bomb power ups where instantaneous and more effective, the upgrades in the level where a lot of help and made it easier to get passed really hard levels. But now that's all gone the upgrades you get in the levels are REALLY temporary they don't even last for the full level and their actually limited to how much you can get. Which really takes away more than HALF of the enjoyment we usually got when playing Falcon Squad. Not to mention that when we had those temporary upgrades for our ships in the levels everyone kinda gets a glimpse into how far our ships fire power and potential can get. As well as giving the players in a way a slight illusion that the power and upgrades can go on forever in the game..DroneXLVersion: 67.6
Broken Reward SystemUPDATE: There have been at least three updates to the game since my review. “Video rewards” is among the patch notes but there are still issues with it.
I have been enjoying a fair bit, it’s a solid bullet-hell. You can advance comfortably without having to spend money too. I would give the game more stars but my issue with it is the reward system regarding ads. Like most mobile games these days, there are several opportunities to earn a bonus for watching an ad. However, I would estimate that the reward fails at least a third of the time. At first, I thought I must not be watching long enough but I will deliberately wait ~10 seconds past the ad timer and still receive nothing. I wanted to submit a support ticket regarding this rather than include it in a review but I could not find an option to do so among the games menus..PistolPatVersion: 47.3
Addicting but pricey if you really want to advanceI was a big Skyforce player until recently since the new version is super blah...downloaded this game instead and I can’t stop playing it. It’s fun gameplay with a variety of side games to play (tournament, pvp, endless, team goals, etc).
THAT BEING SAID, once you reach a certain level you basically HAVE to spend money upgrading your ships or you just can’t beat the level. And when it comes to the cards needed to evolve your ship take forever to get and you need a crapload of them. 320 cards needed when the most you can get per day is like 10 or 20 tops? I mean, I guess when I type that out it doesn’t seem so severe, but it feels like forever when playing. Maybe I’m just impatient..CaptainKateVersion: 31.1
Just boringI can’t speak for everyone when they play this game but after a few levels I found myself bored and not having a lot of fun with it. The style of the game wasn’t bad and how it preformed was decent.
Definitely not something I’d personally keep on my phone for long but there weren’t ads constantly popping up on my phone which was a plus. My only issue is how expensive some of the things in the game are. In order to get some ships you have to pay up to 20$ and then there is the 9.99$ + tax weekly payment you can do for basically nothing worth 520$ a year.
It was fun for a bit, but it didn’t have much going on to keep me engaged..KakPointVersion: 55.1
Great Game - But be warned regarding purchasesSolid action, but, know that you will have to buy gems and packs to move at a tolerable speed and even then, you can sink some coin into this over a lot of time. No worse than dumping 20 dollars in quarters into your favorite classic - weekly, but **CAUTION** you may not get your purchases even after payment and disputes. (Known issue for players). Their “luxury quest” get you real world products for online resources, but it’s massive gamble. I’ve got enough Olay and Crest whitening strips for 3 Christmases, 2 post-adolescent tours of coffee stunted puberty, and still no response from a nearly non-existent support team. So - be warned..Aj75002Version: 66.6
Pretty addicting!Pretty straight-forward space shooter game! Love the style and the graphics, the animations, all of that. Really pretty game! Like a lot of apps, it is rather dependent on ads for revenue(unless you want to shell out real world currency for the in-game stuff!), and the ads are super repetitive. I feel like you need an exhaustingly large amount of coins or gems or puzzle pieces to unlock some of the cooler ships, but you know, you can rack up coins easily if you just keep mashing that “play video” button to increase your coinage. Anyway, it’s still a great game, but at the end of the day, the developers want to make some sort of profit, so keep that in mind!.OokietheFrogVersion: 22.3
A very well-executed gameThis game harkens back to the days of Galaga. The bitmapped art is a pleasant reminder that retro-style games can be fun. And fun it is! Unpretentious and straightforward—a child could play it. It is Free-2-Play and incentivizes you if you watch advertisements, but I got a great deal of fun without buying upgrades. Unlike other F2P games that cripple the experience, I found this very enjoyable. I’d consider buying the game if there was an option to turn off ads. Maybe I missed it. Bravo, guys!.ILoveSozoVersion: 44.0
Enjoy but frustratedI have played this game quite a bit and I enjoy it thoroughly. But, I’ve had plenty of gaming sessions where it ended with me in frustration because my spaceship, in navigating the game screen, was backed up to the bottom of my screen to be able to shoot targets, and had my iPhone X pop out to my home screen in the middle of the game. I’ve had this happen so many times and it has cost me lives. It pauses the game, but sometimes when I come back into the game I have to react so fast I can’t recover. And that just makes me want to not play. It would be nice if the game had an option to disable the swipe up feature of the iPhone while playing..IxaonVersion: 22.2
Great game, development needs address glitchesLove this game because of my friends on Team! Fantastic platform and PVP opportunities are amazing. So many little details Developers don’t get credit for that really enhance play! There are quite a few glitches with reward ads going unresolved for year/s? Love new updates and War feature, but get my Teammates and I disenfranchised with score robbing bugs as we love to be competitive. Also, ability to directly mail players (at least within same team) would foster a greater sense of
Community. Thank you Development for creating such an excellent hobby!.THORSWORLD MRVersion: 47.0
Great Classic Arcade style shooterMy daughter and I enjoy seeing who can get to the hardest levels. She’s 5 and has limited difficulty playing game. I would like to see a way to earn currencies quicker for level completions or the goals could be more easily obtainable for quicker upgrades to keep players coming back. I saw another review about the ads, those are getting to be an issue because they pop up more and more lately. I like the gameplay tho, and it’s definitely worth 4 Stars. 5 if the planes were easier to unlock. I’m on Levels 42,28,15 and only have unlocked 1 other plane and 2 drones..MDW007Version: 19.2
Surprisingly FunI was not expecting much at all when downloading this game but it is very fun and addicting. I don’t think I’ve ever had an ad pop up for me either unless I choose to watch one for a reward. There are still lots of thing which set this app far from 5 stars to me. Especially how annoying it is to try and earn enough coins to upgrade your ship when you barely get any coins from each level and your ship just becomes less and less effective as the difficulty of the levels increase. Overall definitely worth a download..JesseFalk32Version: 22.3
Full of false promises.If I could start it over, I would not have started on this particular game in the first place. Sure, it can be fun and it is addicting, but so are many other games. The real problem is the serious percentage of times you are promised a reward if you agree to watch a commercial, but the app fails to reward you. It is highly frustrating. It fails to reward almost half the time. Certain ads are always fake about giving you the promised reward. There should be no reason the game would fail to give you a tiny incremental reward for each ad you completely watch..Purr of Meow MatchVersion: 49.2
Some ideas for another great game!Very addicting game! I really like how it’s 8-bit. But if you were to come out with a new update or a game like this, a good idea in my opinion would be so that the monsters can shoot each other if you trick them kinda. You probably know what I mean lol. Another really good idea is to have maybe another little spaceship that you have to reload bullets or you have to tap to shoot it. This is just how I would imagine it to be more fun. Overall, I love it and I’m glad I downloaded it. Keep up the good work!.Chloé Pearl RVersion: 22.2
Let’s be realGeniuses. Whoever made this game. Just pure genius. It gets a lot of crap for its ads and how rare the gems are. However, it’s PLAYABLE people! What more do you want? It’s still getting there, just a few more tweaks would make it perfect like adding new ships. Being more coherent with the direction the campaign should go. And whatever more it needs, I’m sure they know. Great job devs! Keep making it happen!.OfficialjujuVersion: 94.4
Needs a bug fixThere’s no “contact us” or “help” page any where, so I’m doing it here. When you watch an ad to earn coins or or anything, it doesn’t give you what you were supposed to earn. For example, after a level, it’ll give you the option to watch an add to double your coins. I click it, watch an ad, and then it still says “click to double coins” and didn’t give me my extra coins from the last ad I watched. Can someone please fix this? Thanks!.KevynmadisonVersion: 33.2
Good gameAnother excellent game with a lot of depth. The monetization is annoying but not prohibitive. I came to terms with the fact that ships beyond the first two are out of reach unless I decide to shell out for an offer, which I may if there’s a good enough deal. That makes the game playable, as I don’t feel like I have to punish myself watching endless ads to grind pitifully small amounts of gems..Seancassidy999Version: 53.5
Run ! Total pay to play gameThis game is such a freakin skam ,
Fun but a skam at that. I’ve probably spent a grand between my wife and I , see the trick you into buying gems to build up your ships and then make you offers on drones or wings u can’t pass up .. But a month later the do another update and weaken everything again and add another money getter to the arsenal of crap for you to buy in order to be relevant. And if you get sucked into being on a team it’s even worse then you have to buy there crap so you don’t let your team down..Mikster420Version: 64.8
Ads Do Not WorkThis game puts you in situations where you MUST watch an ad to continue. Such as “play the lucky wheel twice today for a bonus”. However, you MUST watch a video to do so and when you watch it, it does nothing. It only tells you that you must watch another. This is the epitome of what is wrong with the mobile gaming industry. The game is actually pretty good, though... After breaking through its obvious money grabs and its bugs, it has some good level design and the developers clearly had good intentions with the leveling system..DAV_BARVersion: 22.2
Great But!This game is a blast. As the levels get harder you’ll need to upgrade ur fighter which requires gems and cards. BUT the rate that your rewarded with these items is about 3 gems 1 card after each lvl if you watch the 30 sec ad otherwise you just get coins. Most of the upgrades require thousands of gems and hundreds of cards. This is eventually going to cause many people like myself to stop playing as I will never make in game purchases..KingdahmVersion: 52.3
Pay to win, ad galore, but funThe game itself is really entertaining and addicting. I spent a bunch of time playing it during downtime at work and it makes time go by quick. The graphics are also great IMO. I just hate the how slow you progress. I found myself forced to watch ads in order to catch up which shouldn’t be the case. You barely get any coins as u get up in the ranks. Most of the aircrafts can’t even be obtained without buying them. Good concept but there should be more rewards each game.Stevendan77Version: 56.2
SweetGreat game!.MinjaQuinVersion: 91.1
Too hardYou HAVE to spend money to advance at a decent pace. Stuck on level 49; even after spending $80 CAD I only unlocked enough to pass 3-4 levels. To beat this entire game? I’d have to spend $1000 plus or play this daily for over a year.
Costs of upgrading the ship once out of the remaining 75 times? 7300 gold. Endless gets you 2000 gold (max 5x per day) and takes up over 5 minutes. Pvp is hard as hell; sometimes you kill every ship and still lose. The tournament barely nets you any gold.
Point is; you could possibly upgrade your ship twice a day? Once when it gets to higher levels. Who wants to play this game for 50 days just to max out one ship? And that’s only if the ship is going to S rank. There’s two more upgrades SS rank and SSS rank. Add on 60 days for that.
Then you wanna max out the wing. Gotta get gold, gems AND cards. You finish with that? Max out the two side shooters; and then you need to max out a SECOND ship for the tougher levels near the end because you get one backup ship on a boss level before you die. And that one’s gotta be max.
When you finally do all that? Maybe 300 days has gone by. Almost a year. Makes the game more of a job than a game.
They need to multiply gold gain and gem gain by 5x INCLUDING MISSION BONUSES.
They need to add bonuses for Hard and Nightmare mode too. You get nothing but stars to open boxes from those.
Then 300 days would become two months. And the constant quick growth would encourage me to keep playing for those 60 days. That’s tons of ads - more revenue for the app makers. As for spending money? Increase the shop too; by 5x. So that it’s actually worth spending $140 CAD
This is an example of app makers getting too greedy and trying to maximize profit over fun. You can have both. Just balance it generously and players will flock and STAY in your game. Yes one rich guy will spend $5000 to get #1 but 100000 poor guys will spend $27 and 60 days watching ten ads a day to beat this game. You do the math..MohsalotVersion: 22.3

Addicted to Space GamesNice graphics and sounds. Not over run by ads, however you don’t always receive rewards that are promised. Too much of a push to purchase items with real money. Should be able to purchase more items with the virtual money earned in the game. A person should be able to “play a game” without spending real money, after all it is just a “game”.

Unfair PVPThe game itself is good and I’ve wasted many hours playing the ‘campaign’ levels, and I do enjoy playing the tournaments every weekend. However I am very frustrated with how PVP works. It’s highly unbalanced and there seems to be minute delays in the live action game play between players. If your game starts even a half second after the other player you can kiss your win goodbye. It’s literally the only (I firmly believe) reason my fully evolved macbird loses more than 70% of matches, some of which are against new or unlevelled ships. It gets really frustrating really fast (who likes to lose games that they should have an even chance at all the time?).
Which brings up another issue: unbalanced skill matching. You can be paired up with someone who has fully maxed out their ships or someone who hasn’t upgraded at all, not that it matters much anyway since the game is literally about luck and timing, not skill.
The app itself is riddled with ads that offer rewards if you watch them, which would be fantastic if you actually received the rewards every time. Spoiler: you do not.
My suggestion to the developers: Make some of the bosses at later levels easier to beat so that it doesn’t take literal weeks if not months to pass those levels.
Sincerely,
Stuck on level 77 for a month now..WeasleyCatVersion: 47.0

Galaxy Shooter - Falcon Squad Negative Reviews
Stay awayGame seems fun at first but quickly becomes impossible without spending > a thousand dollars. I’m not exaggerating. Game is designed to be addictive and waste your time so you just spend money. I’ve beaten the campaign now and it’s deeply unsatisfying. A year ago it was difficult to farm resources to level up ships without paying. Since then they’ve decreased the daily resources you can get by a factor of twenty!! Game glitches are common and each update creates more bugs than it solves. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars worth of resources to these glitches and the developers do nothing. This game charges my credit card all the time without providing the resources so I bought it again bc I thought the purchase didn’t work. I get charged twice but only wanted one. This is extremely common. Items available for purchase are often very different from how they are advertised and many ships / parts don’t do what they claim. Like half of them. I spent lots of money and time upgrading a particular part only for the game to remove that part! No refund of my money. This stuff is literally illegal but Apple won’t do anything about it so do yourself a favor and stay far away. Multiplayer modes are completely unrelated to skill and super frustrating. They’ve added Ed one new campaign world (now 14 total) in the last year, and modes/features have been “coming soon’ for over a year..AvoirdupoisVersion: 74.0
Just Realized!!!I’ve played this game many many times, and watched more ads than I can count. On many occasions I noticed that the advertisement videos would not work after playing the game several times on any particular day. It would just say n/a. At the same, I also noticed at the end of each level I completed I would never get offered an ad video to collect more rewards. I never clicked on the n/a icon until today, so I did just to see what would happen, and after clicking the n/a where the video icon is supposed to be, and then clicking on watch, it notifies me that there will be no more rewards until tomorrow. May I just say... how stupid that is!!! So let me just ask, what is the point in defeating a level (or playing at all), if I don’t get offered an extra reward for completing it, so I can upgrade my arsenal, and why in the h** is an app that is based solely on ads, because it sure isn’t solely based on my entertainment, only allow me to watch a certain number of ads before it cuts me off??? From a business standpoint this is sooo stupid!!! Hello!!! If I don’t play or I do play, and I don’t watch ads which is how you make a profit, then what’s the point?? Someone didn’t think that one through!!.Adaug7Version: 22.2
Don’t waste your timeThis game started out as satisfying fun but as I rose through the levels, I found myself frustrated over trying to figure it out. There is no explanation or help. I am told I need certain things but can not locate the item, or I already have the required aircraft but still get the error message that I cannot play the level without said aircraft. Another example, the level states I cannot play without “wings of destruction” but there is no option to get it without completing level 35 (I think?), so I’m at level 35, the holy grail unlock level, and after about 15 little aircraft, no other enemies enter the screen and I fly forward endlessly unassaulted - I have to close the whole app and restart just to exit level 35. I am frustrated by all the rules and requirements with very little direction of how to progress in this game. The upgrades cost astronomical amounts of coins and gems - you’re not getting anywhere in this game without paying up... perhaps the instructions come with a fee as well?.Jellis808Version: 47.6
Agonizingly slow progress but okay gameNot having any problems playing this game on an iPhone X but here are several issues I have with this game. The process of upgrading your ships and drones and such are offensively high compared to the amounts of in game [money] for making those upgrades. So the game offers you plenty of opportunities to buy new items for upwards of $20 which seems like a rip off to me. Especially with people staying home and looking for some outlets to pass time at home during the pandemic. I can think of much better things to spend 20 bucks on instead of a new spaceship for one simple game.
Also the ads you have to watch in order to amass gems (for upgrading) last as long as 35 seconds and dole out a pittance of what you need makes the game agonizingly slow to progress without paying real money.
Lastly the latest ad content has been the nail in the coffin for me. I’m done with this game..Daimajin06Version: 52.6
New update is terribleThis game exploits all the tricks to get some people hooked/addicted then start ramping up the fees. Many people in this game have invested thousands of dollars (no joke) and have nothing to show for it but a few pathetic upgrades in a game. On top of that, the developers keep releasing updates that are clearly designed to squeeze more money out of addicted players without adding any new content. In the most recent release, there was NO new playable content, but they reduced the daily amount of gems and gold that players can obtain without paying by over half!! You were never able to farm for a lot of these resources, but to take away the pathetic amount that was already available, just to try to force people to pay even more is a bad move. Many existing players have dropped out and many others have boycotted new purchases. I for one am not willing to contribute to this scam any further..MacMacabreVersion: 70.2
Too many bugs; too many broken adsLike most people, I absolutely hate the micro transaction movement that plagues the casual mobile game market now. In my opinion, it is ruining both the quality and entertainment of all apps. Having said that, I don’t mind watching a few minimal ads here and there to help these devs pay the bills.
However, for this application, the ads and bugs ruined the experience, and ensured another quickly deleted and forgotten app. I won’t go into long details about the ads — read some of the recent reviews, and they are spot on regarding their frequency and the relative uselessness of associated rewards in overall progress. Additionally, I found that Facebook never stayed connected longer than about 5 seconds, and I never was able to experience tournament or pvp play due to the server error that everyone has reported. Furthermore, many of the ads would just ‘break’, leaving the app unresponsive after sitting through the entire thing instead of releasing back to the game.
I was surprised to see how many of these problems had been reported more than 1 update prior. Meaning, greed vs quality, and as a consumer I will not accept that.
All in all nice idea, but too greedy, too many unresolved bugs, and no reason to spend any money or additional time..FargVersion: 19.2
Only for people who want to pay $Save your time and save your money. Plus the game is extra glitchy at least every couple weeks.
I’m a grinder and I’ve played this game for a couple years. I don’t mind grinding out games instead of paying, but this game is different. I’ve slowly built parts of my ship up to max out power with the plan of moving on to another part and slowly maxing it out, but it never works. The game admins simply add another level to the end and force players to build up or buy back to max power again over and over.
There is no way to be successful at this game without paying. Great space invaders concept, but there’s not much fun in simply paying money to win a game and that’s exactly what this game is. I’m slowly playing less and less and already know I’ll eventually delete it all together..PoPo92015Version: 66.6
Very good but critical issuesThe game itself is very good but it has a couple of critical issues.
The massive bug that I’ve never seen in any other game is that I only receive the rewards for watching ads about 10% of the time. The game seems designed to pretty much require you to watch ads to get decent rewards - I’m perfectly fine with that if it works (but it usually doesn’t). No other game I’ve ever played has this problem and it is inexcusable.
The other issue is pvp. You can kill every target and sometimes still lose. Another thing that makes no sense is I can win bronze 1 almost every time but I’ve only won silver 5 twice - what, the worst players in silver are 10x better than the best players in bronze? I don’t think so - there’s something fishy..Twilight23Version: 33.3
Great game....but then...I love scrolling shooter games, it invokes my inner child in some weird way. This game totally fills that void! Awesome pixelated graphics, ever challenging levels, and simple game play. It’s all great! BUT...
I hit the cash wall.
It’s that unfortunate point in just about ALL “free games” where you can barely advance without breaking out your wallet and forking over real money.
I understand the fact that game developers need to make money but isn’t it bad enough to suffer through endless (and terrible quality) ads? Isn’t it bad enough to play level after level on all three difficulty modes to upgrade, only to find the upgrade is merely a fancy new paint job?
In all, great game, but prepare to be on level 40 with the same basic ships you started with unless you pay to play..RffjhyyhhVersion: 32.5
I refused to pay got shut offDownloaded this game over a year and a half ago, and refused to pay for a “free” game. After what seemed forever, I got good ships, and defeated bosses, and won many levels. My ranking was in the mid 500s in the US. Woke up one morning and they shut my account down. I sent an inquiry through Facebook and after 2 weeks they responded. Said I must be cheating because I had too much gold and too many ships! Then they said my account was only created within the last month! I sent a screenshot from my apple account showing my download date. Asked them to check the dates of the requests I’d received to join teams. Nothing. They never responded again. Wasted all that time only to find I’m dealing with incompetence/arrogance pretending to be God. Don’t waste your time. All they want is your money..HennysamVersion: 62.8
No rewards for ads; conflict with iPad gesturesThere are several areas of the game to watch videos for extra gold, etc. Every single one allows you to watch the video but fails to give the rewards. It worked at one point, hence it being obvious that it doesn't now. Emails to support have been unreturned. The game itself is good but forcing players to watch ads and not rewarding them as promised is basically theft. APPLE: Please investigate.
There's another "feature" that's going to make me delete this game - certain stages require moving the ship in such a way that you end up making some Apple gesture that pauses the game and brings up a screen to switch apps. I've turned off as much gestures, etc. as I can but this continues to happen and makes the game pretty unplayable. I have NEVER seen this in any other game..ThePhwnerVersion: 22.2
Great game, but the glitches just make me want to delete itI love this game, but the glitches lately just are too much to bear. It’s simple things too like daily rewards that work for some, but not others. They recently made a huge mistake and gave out 20,050 gems, but realized their mistake and tried taking it back. But unfairly, some players realized the bonanza before it got removed and spent it. This unfairly impacted the game for those who were asleep or otherwise unaware. The latest event they have is just window dressing on another event that didn’t work properly to begin with. It is maddening how depressingly unplayable the game has gotten. Oh, and I’m a captain of a team and a recent glitch removed several members of my team and the headaches getting everyone back in are not worth it..Falcon squad captainVersion: 53.5
User interface disasterThe new UI redesign is a disaster. The new animations between every click makes changing ships/drones take much longer. Actions that used to be near each other are now spread all over for no apparent reason. Given the large complaints on FB and within my team, it seems painfully obvious that there wasn’t any/enough UX testing on the massive design change.
Also, the developers do not have a good track record of listening to the players and addressing bugs/compensation issues.
A large cohort of my team has been together for over a year, and some folks who have spent $100’s have already quit out of frustration. I’m probably not far behind if things aren’t fixed..SqlGoalieVersion: 61.9
Rip off! Purchases Don’t WorkAfter spending money in-game, it took my money but didn’t give me what I purchased. Not only that, when I went to get in touch with the developers? It can only be done on facebook, and when I went to send them a message, it told me that I couldn’t because their messenger did not exist. So there’s no way to contact the devs after you get ripped off.
Even if you’re not spending money, beware: watching ads in return for rewards often ends with the same result- the ad is watched, but the reward is not given.
There’s a lot of other games similar to this. I recommend playing one of those instead of spending time and money on this one for promised rewards that never materialize..DannoNanoVersion: 33.2
Problems with in-app purchasedGame is buggy (some levels had bugs), and some of my purchases were not complete (get confirmation AND WAS CHARGED, but I DID NOT receive the actual purchased in-game items, such as Energy Shop Promotion). Developer has been contacted twice and NO RESPONSE thus far beyond an auto-reply “ Hello *******! Thank you for messaging. At the moment, we are not here, but we will get back to you shortly!”
Apple is completely useless in trying to resolve this. They are okay with processing in-app purchases on games it sells in the Apple Store, but when actual in-app good are not provided, Apple DOES NOTHING (other than continue to allow people to keep purchasing the game and making in-app purchases)..BX mongerVersion: 49.2
Good gameGood game reminds me of Gallaga the stand up arcade game back in the 80s. But the ads are non stop. I under stand the developer needs to make money but 30 second ads are just way too much. Especially to those of us who have V.I.P status. That stands for VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, in case you the developer didn’t know. That also means we paid money. Really my game should now be add free. And the adds at the end of missions to get bonus gold, parts, gems, should be 4 seconds, if the add can’t catch my eye in 4 seconds. Itdang sure won’t catch it in 30.
That is why I gave your game only two stars. Meet my demands about add free and 4 second bonus ads and I’ll give you five..KytraanVersion: 32.5
4.6 Star Rating?! Read the Reviews ... Do the Math!Want to play very many levels? Be ready to pony up the cash. I’ve been through updates to “fix bugs” but all bugs deal with rewards achieved in game play. Only “gold” seems to ever rise. However, the “emeralds” required to purchase a better fighter, nah ... don’t expect any of those. PAY for those if you wish. Nice game for entry levels but don’t expect to go too far. Even when I earned enough “gold” to power up one ship, every time I selected it, the game put be back down to the lower level ship when I started the level. You can purchase the best ship for $49 ... not a typo! ... so this game isn’t interested in rewarding skill. Open your wallet!!!.OldGuy54Version: 32.2
Support disappearedThis is a fun game, but I had an issue with it after connecting to Facebook. I contacted the app developer via Facebook, and was almost immediately instructed to uninstall the game and reinstall, and let the game server restore my data. I did so, and lost my progress - including a couple of in-app purchases. Their support then told me they would restore the progress - at least the purchases - and then disappeared, without restoring anything. I've not heard from them for a week now, though I have seen then post to Facebook, so I know they are there, inspite of numerous messages to contact them. I'll wait another few days, but I think I'm done, and will be asking for a refund..MralwernerVersion: 21.2
New user interface hard to useThis is an entertaining game but very glitchy. I would not spend money on this game due to these glitches. It will just decide to take things you’ve earned from you and you can’t get them back or it will freeze up and reset you erasing gems and what not. They also changed the Home Screen recently and it was somewhat confusing before especially on how to optimize your engines and what not. But now forget it. You need a user manual now.
You will be slow to upgrade your ship as cards and gems are slow to get. That’s where they try to get you to spend money..Zoid2020Version: 61.9
Scamming and FraudWhen you sell a product or products in an app, you are supposed to deliver something in return for the currency the customer gave you. Apparently the makers of this game did not get the message. I hope you pay back every cent you owe to me and the other players that were scammed or go broke trying. I’m sure there are lots of people in the same position I’m in since I saw the reviews after I wasted my time and money. Apple, I wouldn’t be promoting this app if I were you. The legal repercussions can fall back on you since this is an issue that has been reported multiple times to you and them..Robin Hood 1986Version: 78.4
ProblemsLike others have said I rarely get rewards from watching the short ads after rounds. Several times now while playing PvP I will be winning when the round ends and it will show as winning (score wise) until it switches to the “winner” screen and I’ve now lost. Most times I’ve seen this error it is because my correct score isn’t getting translated to the next screen correctly. I can only get my special ability to work about once every twenty times I hit the button.
The game is fun, looks good and relieves boredom but unless you plan on spending money you will be playing the same handful of rounds on repeat as it takes forever to upgrade..Golfing PayneVersion: 31.1
Fun but you’re not getting a dime from meThe game starts off as a really fun, inventive shooter but quickly devolves into becoming impossible with out spending x amount of dollars. Maybe if you made it so that anyone who spends ~$20 gets to play a game that’s actually possible to beat then I would consider spending money. But the way you incentivize people to gamble with the lotto wheel and chests makes me believe that the devs are really pure scum, especially when you factor in the fact that so many children play iOS games with their parents’ credit cards..Caz110210Version: 80.9
New update is not working right.Every time this game does a update, it cheats you out of something new. Right now, if you don’t turn the game off then back on, it will cheat you out of some of the videos you watch to get free things. 1 of the daily challenges is to share on Facebook. It won’t let you. It just locks the game up when you try. Then you can’t finish your daily challenges and can’t claim the last reward which is the best one. It is also resetting my settings for the game each night. It changes the ships I was using and the position of my active skills buttons. I hate to see the upgrades when they come up..KladdairVersion: 53.5
Worst Game EverBeen playing this game for a year, advanced very far and upgraded levels to be able to progress through the battles, out of the blue I try to log in and have a notice saying my ID activity violated terms of service and now I’m shut out? I can’t connect to server? All I’ve done of this app is play the game and watch a million ads and then for no reason I’m kicked out? And it says to contact with questions through Facebook- I don’t USE Facebook. There is some kind of scam going on here! Do not download or play this game it is a scam and there is no way to get customer support..DubayewjayVersion: 95.2
Greedy beyond beliefDevelopers don’t care about loyal customers. Greedy and always changing the game to make it harder to win and succeed. Forcing us to watch ads is super greedy. There are other games that you can pay less than $10 to have ad free for life but not this game. Many of my teammates have left the game while spending a lot on this game (VIP 10 or more) and devs don’t care. Give us an option to lifetime of no ads or we will all leave the game and stop spending. Ads don’t work and we lose the bonus coins. Putting a cap on the amount of time spent on one level is stupid. Overall greed will lose out in the long run..Andy H KVersion: 55.1
Player & Buyer Beware - Read them reviewsThe rewards are not given after one ad.
I’ve had to go through four to get the reward then TWELVE(12) videos for & most recently 3. The ads say “watch one ad & get one free gift” but don’t be surprised when you reach three to Twelve & still no reward(Applicable to anywhere an ad is present). The ad issue that has been experienced by more than myself soils the game so that’s why the now ONE star review as there seems to be no want to fix either the “bug” or the wording for wanting people to watch the ads.
There’s also been mentioning of purchases not being given(from other reviewers, I don’t buy stuff from many games & most certainly not from anything made from this company). For more information please read the reviews so you can figure if you can stomach this “game”.
Devs - If you are working on it put out a notification in game so we know that you care about ALL the players & not just the ones that have as much money as they do impatience(No one is going to wade through the reviews to look for you saying the issue is being/has been addressed).
Or here’s another idea, how about watch “X” amount of ads for certain prizes(Either daily or cumulatively)instead of the lie of watching one ad for a prize?

Fun game no rewardsIt’s a fun challenging game to play but upgrading ships to progress is hard and very time consuming. That would be easier to do if the rewards for videos worked properly but they don’t. I have it work only about 20% of the time if that. Even more time consuming to watch all the ads and videos only to get nothing for it..ReetzioVersion: 32.7
Good game but...You don’t get rewards promised after watching ads...

RewardsThis game will not always give you the rewards it says it will after watching the ads. Also they promise rewards if you play their new games which I did and did not receive the rewards offered. Very frustrating to say the least.
And now I’m trying to post this review and it won’t let me without using my nickname. It won’t let me use my Game nickname saying it’s already taken. So now I’m spending extra time trying to if a name that isn’t used. I’ve gone through 10 names so far..FfszvjhyddVersion: 22.3
Run away!This game is very addictive and it can be fun.
But…
Customer support is not only horrible, they are dangerously scary! They will accuse you of cheating and lying, they will remove the goodies that you earned, each new version is full of bugs and don’t ever fall on a bug that is to your advantage, they will banned you from playing. Write to customer support and all you get is an useless chat bot. It could have been a great game if they understand anything about customer experience. They simply don’t. Run away from this game!.Stephane stcoVersion: 99.5
Casino gameGame built on Gacha principles: 1. Download to play with no frictions 2. Easy and fast level up (at the beginning) 3. At a time determined by the editor you will need to wait and get frustrated 4. Reward when you return in the game with get you hooked up 5. Cute aircrafts but basic gameplay 6. The cute aircraft will make you pay a very small amount for your first purchase, and for that small amount you will receive more than what you paid for 7. Now that you made a very interesting first purchase a psychological barrier has collapsed, an algorithm will push you to pay a tiny bit more next time 8. The game is coded in a way that you will have to pay to progress and you will never win against the “whales” who finance the game, the games fans, the 10% of the players, but in the mean time all the multiple rewards will get you spend hundreds and hundreds of $. 9. The whales are the team leaders, they will motivate you to spend your money. Casino principles. Addiction based game. Gacha game..Celine#@#Version: 99.2

Way too few rewardsWith the newest update, you will play for many hours, earning very few cards, gems or coin. Unless you are prepared to spend hundreds, even into the thousands of dollars, you will always be a weak player.

Great Arcade Game if…This was a great arcade game several years ago but over time it has changed because of the players and the business. I understand the need to earn profit from this but they push pack upgrades. Many players have hacked the code and build in cheats which makes the gameplay less enjoyable. The PVP mode pairs you against player you simple cannot win against.
Some improvements need to to made before I can upgrade my rating..DarmilVersion: 66.5

Cheaters not taken care of. Do these devs really care about their community?I play this game regularly and enjoy it. However there are many individuals out there that use third party software / cheats to get ahead, and staff don’t seem to care in the slightest. Really takes away from the game.

Long, Pointless GrindUpgrades to your ship take an excessively long time to acquire, but they're all satisfyingly noticeable improvements - at first. You don't have to pay to win per sé, but it'll take you a very long time to unlock base ships (weeks), and even longer to fully upgrade them (months).
Your other option is to watch TONS of ads. Either way, it's a long, long grind to reach fully upgraded status with even 1 ship - and there's 9 of them, plus there's drones and wings that'll need patience to unlock and upgrade too. It'd probably take years to max everything. Still, they say it's all about the journey, and even though the road is long, I (used to) find myself continually drawn to this game.
The game seems very prone to bugs related to delivering rewards for ads. This makes a bad situation even worse.
Edit:
Really... only 3 video rewards a day now? As if the grinding didn't take long enough already! That, coming when my ships are getting harder and harder to upgrade, and the results less and less noticable. You know, I think I've finally had enough of this excuse for watching ads. There's better ways to waste my time. C'ya..Letter 19Version: 48.7
