Micro Battles – Casual Game Review
Micro Battles is a Casual/Family game from Donut Games, first launched in 22nd October 2014.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 96+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Micro Battles Stand Out
Battle your friends in a series of HEAD TO HEAD mini-games, inspired by the fun simplicity and quirkiness of classic 8-BIT VIDEO GAMES.
Using two buttons (one for each player) on a single device, you can place your portable battleground practically anywhere and challenge any friend you'd like.
Battles are changed on a daily basis, so be sure to open the app every day for another fun challenge.
Let the Micro Battles begin!
Grab It Magazine says:
- "By the end of half a dozen games of the cowboy shootout and axe throwing – with my opponent being my wife – WE WERE LAUGHING AND YELLING HYSTERICALLY AND LOUDLY"

Great game! This is a great way to pass time with friends! (This is a great game!)(Awesome!).
Simple but so much fun to pass time with a friend or child.
This game has to be the best! It has that pixel like type! It kinda feels like playing in the 80s!we can get some body in our family to play with us (mostly our sis or one of our big brothers) and we can have a very good time together!we even have the 2nd and 3rd versions of micro battles!Please, add a micro games 4 in the future (2020-2021).
If you get stuck with a game you dont want then change your time settings a day up its that easy.
They made the one button thing work for every minigame, but also, this particular game in the Micro Battles trilogy has broken RNG. We got cowboys for a week now and it was because the system that picks your game was broken. Please fix this, IDK if people have this problem too. A 5 star game made by a 10 star company. 3.5 stars, but this feature isnt available.
We were wanting to play this game with our cousin but you can only play one a day and its dumb its not fair to other kids its on all 3 games and we dont like it if you can remove premium on all three games we think people would play it more and we would like it more.
Only kets blue win we thjnk it discriminates based on color.
You can only play one game a day. Thats right: one. You have to get premium to be able to play more. This is basically a paid app at this point. Not to mention 2 dollars is absurd for such a simple two-player pixel game.
MAKE IT SO YOU CAN PLAY DIFFERENT MINI GAMES YOU NEED HELP.
This game literally has the worst luck for us we get the same game everyday the soccer one Ive played this many times ONLY to see if we could get another game but only got soccer if we didnt know any better Id say its rigged which it probably is.
This game is good but you can only play one mini game a day. Dont listen to the others who say you get stuck with one game forever.
Add a 4th! It would be great! All the games on this one are great, except maybe soccer. Keep up the good work.
Its fun and all but you dont only play one game and you have to pay money.
This game is pretty fun but you can only play 1 game per day unless you pay money. That part is really annoying. If that didn't happen this would be 5 stars.
This would be a 5 star if you didn't have to pay $1.99 for premium. That is outrageous.
If you get this app, know that you have to spend 2 bucks to play more than once per day! Why would you do that.
Fix your game we keep killing ourselves with our own axe.
We love this game. Intense. Fun. Simple. Iove the 2nd one… Omg 3rd one= life complete.
We were introduced to this game on the bus. We love how the button is so simple yet so challenging to play. Really gets you up and thinking. We would recommend it to anyone who has some free time on their hands.
It is an awesome game but it says their is a new battle and their isn't, same thing with micro battles 2.
This is a well made game. The soccer game is a bit of a disappointment, tho. If you liked the funny unpredictability of this game, we recommend micro battles 2. It's like an upgrade. Hope this helps.
We love this game and we play all the time with our brother. No problems.
We love this game to pieces!!!!!! When you're with a friend, micro battles can keep you busy for hours. Any game is fun, but our favorite is the Viking one.
This is literally the best game we have ever played. The price for the full game was absolutely worth it and we cant stop playing it with our friends and family. It makes everyone laugh and be competitive. But, theres only one problem with this game…… Please, we are begging you to add more games. There are 4 games that are really fun and we cant imagine how fun it would be with more creative games. Please come out with an update for lots of more games. Thank you.
Other than that. Best game ever.
We would buy this game if it were $1,000 we swear this is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We're addicted. We love whoever made this we would marry you. Love you homes.
This game is so much fun and is better than 2 people just playing separately on their on device, we would recommend playing on an iPad but iPhone works too, yet we would love to see more types of games in the next update or something, keep the game interesting and have a variety of games to choose from, all in all it's worth the 1 dollar or whatever the cost is.
Tried to resit getting premium. Couldn't.thisiThis is This is actually the most fun games we have ever played on mobile. Everytime we play with friends we die laughing! This app is definitely worth the money. Excited to see more battles.
GREAT GAME, the simplicity yet amiability of the game is superb, but there should be a wider variety.
If you made this an over the web multiplayer game with user names we would literally play 24/7 with our brother. So. Kickstarter? We'll donate. Seriously.
Great game so much fun! Please add more games. So fun we got premium.
Sends tickles down our spine because of how fun it is (;.
Make it so you can play with a random person or a Gamecenter friend. Also add more battles.
Our wife and we play this all the time together. We really enjoy the bite-sized competition, and it's more intimate than each of us playing on our own phones. We really really hope to see more micro battle games like this! We love these games.
Why don't you put all of the minigames into one app?! It would be a lot easier. Also we would like there to be a randomizer for all the minigames. And finally, why does it cost 1.99 for each game?! Why not 2.00 for all he games.
We love this game but our sister does not. Keep working on new micro battles.
It's amazing and really fun BUT there needs to be a way u can play a computer.
Good for 2 player, needs CPU option.
We're not sure if it is our ipad or if it's the app but it won't let us download the full version. It will only tell us that it can't get to the app store… Is there not a way to just directly/ initially download the whole version? :( Love this game and was convinced to get the paid version but it won't let us. This doesn't happen for any other app we have on this device.. Help! :/.
The game is great to kill some time with a friend. The only down side is the soccer game is very difficult. Also it is not worth $2.
It's a really great game but we wish you could play more than one game a day that is why we gave it.
We're having the same problem some users are experiencing with The full version. We can't select our battle and It keeps showing that we have to pay each game. Please fix.
So a while back we bought Micro Battles. We had a lot of fun with all the games so we decided to buy the full version. $1.99 well worth we must say. But recently we accidentally deleted the app when we were trying to make space on our phone. When we went to go re-download the game it downloaded just fine. As we opened the game it says that we es only allowed to play 1 game and that we had to repurchase the full version. We honestly find it ridiculous, out of all the games we've bought this is the first time we've had this problem. We'd appreciate if there was a solution, because apparently we are not the only one that has had this problem.
It's a great game but it won't let us download the premium version.
We loved this game honestly.. It was extremely fun, but when we our phone got F**ked. We had to reset it. Then it gives us one game and tells us we have to repurchase it.
Pro- Nice concept. Con- They only let you play one level/game. Con- Pay 1.99 to play the other three Levels/games. Con- You shouldn't make people wait to play this game. Pro- Uninstalled.
We would rather be eaten by orphans that have to play this game for the cost of $1.99.
This was a total waste of $2. DO NOT GET THIS GAME. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT DO NOT GET THE FULL VERSION THE GAMES ARE CRAPPY. In other words, just move on. Nothin' to see here.
This game is amazing. Until you spend the money and relieze they never update it.
We have all 3 games and for a straight week we have got the same games over and over again.
