« Okay, okay, set the way-back machine Mr. Peabody. If Space Invaders, Geometry Wars and Missile Command had an illegitimate game-baby it would be this awesome piece of code. Definitely a one-more time type of experience. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 18 h played1« finally a game i can play with one hand »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 16 h played1« Buy it now, This game is a mash up of Missile Command and some crazy ass ♥♥♥♥.

« Initially fun, but too difficult, you will basically be playing the same 2 weeks over and over again like others have mentioned. Gets old fast. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 5 h played1« Could never make any meaningful progress. No good gun upgrades. Game would never give towers or drones. I was constantly trying to beat waves with this weak, single shot pea-shooter and losing. Quickly became not fun. »👎 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 0 h played1« losing feels random which is not good! feeling like you cant do anything to change your fate is not good! »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 22 h played2« I think the game is neat but it got stale after a few hours. It felt like i was doing the same thing and dying at around the same spots. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 5 h played2« Hard, nothing is explain, frustrating, everything has too much hp, bad progression, feel "weak" non stop. A lot of people asking for more effort and nothing happens. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 6 h played« Amazing gameplay and difficulty ! »👍 anonymous review · Apr 2025 · 340 h played
