Shoot The Moon – Action Game Review
Shoot The Moon is a Action/Casual game from Shaun Coleman, first launched in 28th August 2014.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 5,142+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Shoot The Moon Stand Out
THE MOON WILL NOT STOP SINGING!
Launch rockets at him to make him stop.
Hmm. That only annoyed him … Good! KEEP DOING IT.
Take an animated journey through the weirdest reaches of space…
- Balance risk vs reward. Longer shots = more points. But do not miss!
- Reach goal milestones for score-boosting bonuses and unlock a bunch of funny costumes!
- Features two game modes: Classic Mode and Sixty Second Challenge.
- How angry can you make the moon in this addictive single tap game? Can you stop the singing moon?
It's you versus the moon. As you always knew it would be someday.

Turbo Mode allows you to increase the speed of the entire game. With Turbo Mode enabled, everything goes faster — the moon, your rocket, the angry red things… even the 60 second challenge countdown. And with two different turbo settings available, you’re in control.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This reminds us of our childhood and we didnt realize how fun it is.
The skins are really cool and party moon skin has a special theme and some skins are animated like the sun skin or the gummy worm.
Dis is da best thing in our life.
We really like this game because we play it every day and its really fun.
We really love this game it brings back memories from our childhood and it is also nostalgic.
We remember Ethan gamer playing this and we loved it.
This game is pretty cool to be honest. First of all, it has fun modes, while it only has two modes, they are both exciting and chaotic. And second of all, the moon is really funny, its faces when you lose are pretty silly, and thats all the things that we have, so thats all we have for this game. :D.
This game is very challenging. It requires you to be on the lookout for the right place to shoot the moon for points. We will recommend this game to our friends so they can play it with us, or to practice their skills. You should download this game if you want to meet your match.
So we have gotten a lot of achievements (playing for 5 years) so this game is hard and fun! And this game is 6 stars, Its fun and good! And no bugs that we saw so far so thats good! So its a fun game.
The moon wont sing please help.
We love this game so much because it gets rid of our boredom and we like challenging our brother in the 60 second challenge and we always win because we love playing this game so thats why we gave it 5 stars.
We love seeing the moon get angry and more angrier the more we hit him he deserves the pain and anger this game is really fun.
This game is great and all but theres one glitch we want you to fix. We were playing 60 Seconds Challenge when we beat the moon, and got our score. And we accidentally got 1526 (which isnt supposed to be possible) our original high score is 1071. Can you please fix this glitch and fix our high score to be 1071? Other than that, this game is great! Bye.
Very fun and addictive tricky too.
When we tried to the 60 second challenge we got a lot of money, so you should get Shoot The Moon and do the 60 Second Challenge because you can get 2 almost 3 Skins in one day.
Its about shooting the moon and it has many costumes and theres a golden moon the golden moon cost of the coins in the game 500 coins to get the golden costume each day. We play to win if we were Patrick, we will not win thats why we should be smart and its a timing game and it has a turbo mode that is too easy.
Extremely addicting even to this day and still love the song and fun 60 second challenge and is a great time waster.
We remember when our favorite YouTuber ethangamertv played this on his iPad back in our childhood the good old memories.
This game is so good we love,playing it when we are in the car for a while like a road trip or the airplane for a flight, but this game needs more updates it has been way to long since the last update it needs more.
We love shoot the moon we even played it in our childhood, we love the update Im grateful for it but we hope it gets updated again even though its fun. We also love turbo mode its fast but fun and the music is also catchy and thats what makes it good we also love the costume designs its really cool and we hope to have another update.
Like it when each time you hit the moon he speeds up and summons the red things and as you continue the music goes so hard this is the best.
The game has no ads and so addicting ( ~ ) this game is awesome.
Ethan Gamer Posted The First Play Of Shoot The Moon.
We think its a really fun game but it makes you rage SO MUCH! But when you get great at it it becomes really fun. So you should try to play it but if it gets to hard then just stop.
We love this app and its gameplay in general especially the fire beat drop in phase 17. We thing we think you should add is if you have an extra heart and you hit the red dot instead of it coming at you, it should explode and its face should melt off.
A bit scarey becase sometimes im close to winning.
We have 635 points, so, we got all costumes in the game, in turbo mode, the gummy worm was crazy! But, we need the RARE GOLDEN MOON.
This game is always there when Im bored, the various challenges and difficulties make this game so fun to play, Ive been playing it for a while. It doesnt get boring, EVER.
We love the fact we can release our anger out on this dumb moon obsessed with classical music. We need MORE OF THIS! MORE MODES! MORE SKINS! MORE EVERYTHING.
We used to play this when we were young. No excuses. Very fun game. High score:64.
Please Add A Mode Where You Can Make Custom Moons, So Basically It Would Just Be A Mode Where You Can Choose A Photo From Your Photo Library And Make It Into A Moon.
You can destroy the sun (Also, please add skins for the rest of the solar systems planets).
We recommend this game you just shoot the Moon we will update this and review you about our progress. We currently is the first Ive ever made it was get in the mood to one of his last phases. Let you know when we beat the moon for the first time. See you soon.
Bro whenever we play this game it gets us so anxious and so excited at the same time like im in a sugar rush its so fun vro.
Entertaining and good for our little adhd mind.
Love this game so much we need shoot the sun pls. If anyone reads this and dont have this game PLS get it pls.
Bro if you are bored play this game.
We love this game but unfortunately it requires focus and skill and concentration. Which is ok but a younger player would need a little help so maybe do a easy level or something like a mini game to get more experience. Still this is a fun game with some fun and hard challenges.keep up the awesome game and work.
Shoot the moon is so good because we played on our dads old phone and now we are on our iPad and its still good with turbo mode and we like the 60 seconds too that is all we want to say.
Yea, we were so close to beating the moon but because we wasted a bit of time we were an INCH away from the extra ten seconds. This is quite fun but for some it kinda hard, TIP: the more faster he goes the more easier it is, reason: he goes into your shots lol. Also that all for the review.
We played this game when we were 5, and we still play this game.
There are barely any ads and when there are ads they are like 2 seconds. Love turbo mode, but makes it harder, obviously. Play this game if you want to but if you dont youre missing out.
This game was our childhood but sometimes it would make us mad when we missed the moon.
Its so cool our cousins play this when they got an iPad.
We love this game! It's a really good stress-reliver. We play this game, like, every day! We love this game soo much that we beat the moon 6 times! That's how much we love this game. Develepors of Shoot The Moon, please keep making more games like this, Thank You.
Had this game since a child and still have it now, always loved the game for years and it can help solve long trips going somewhere else.
Ive been playing this game sporadically from time to time. Its always been a great game.
Its hard to even get past 200. Its a fine game that is based on timing and strategy and can be challenging at times, but when you finally beat the game it is the best feeling ever overall great game.
Games been a part of us for years. Just returned to it from 5 or 7 years ago.
Could play this for hours, always trying best our high score, the music is amazing and entertaining. Love it.
