Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Good game. It made our fingers tired from tapping.
Its honestly a decent game. Its simple and fun and the old arcade style is great. Its a good game in a storm of trash clone mobile games.
Enjoyable Id say,,,with a bit of the old school early 80s Arcade Video Game feel.
Takes us back to the glory days of Asteroid.
Is fascinating and so is this game.
We love the old school theme of the game. Works great, is fun and quite challenging.
Professionally made app, easy to understand and use. We've been waiting for something like this app. Incredibly useful and well-designed app with great UI/UX! Thanks:).
The game is a mix of traditional helicopter game with a space shooting game. Excellent graphics and sound. We recommend to download and try out for yourself.
BE CAREFUL: this game is really, really addictive.
Reminds us of the good old arcade days when we spent all our part time job income on Defender!! Great smooth fun gameplay. Cool retro graphics but much smoother play. Far out sound effects. Addicting as hell. Just gotta keep your right that thumb near the ship or you block your own view. Well done. We're hooked.
Was too absorbed in playing and we got on the G train going the wrong direction. Didn't realize until we were in gowanus, but we got to wave 22!!!! High score yall.
This is like a cross between asteroids and a 2d scroller. It's quite fun, but without levels to play thru or some other method of progression the experience only lasts for a brief period.
We like old style game, kit all enimies with laser gun , the sounds are execellent.
This is stupid. Did you pay these 4-5 star reviews. Cmon man.
Pretty solid space shooter! Old school arcade feel, nice and polished. Simple controls allow you to jump right in and blast off some lasers.
It's so fun and a great retro throwback and the music is awesome. Highly recommend.
Man this game is hella fun, sick sound fx.
We can't stop playing! Its very fun and cleverly made, its challenging but not too hard or confusing, 10/10 would recommend to all looking for a awesome new game to play.
This game is almost too addicting! Must beat all the levels.
This game is amazing. It is challenging and fun. The game is addictive in all the right ways. The graphics remind you of all the games you played growing up. It's nostalgic and modern at the same time. We would pay for this game should the time come. You should too.
We can't wait for our soy latte on Jupiter.
If you wanna feel like you're in deep space trance, play this game. It'll blow your socks off.
Our charred corpse loves a firm milkshake.
This game is so good. Very addicting.
Perhaps the most spectacular, innovative, mind-boggling exploration of the cosmos since 2001. It's more than an arcade shooter, it's a quantum-bending time stamp on the inevitable expansion/destruction of our terrestrial culture. Do yourself a favor and catch the wave on the gnarly breaks of the black hole that is Turbospace Defender – yes, you, you're our only hope.
Loved asteroids as a kid, this game reminds us of a modern take on the old classic. Sweet music, particle effects and retro vibe.
Way tighter than Pokemon Go. And the soundtrack is dope.
Great new game reminds us of asteroids from the golden age of gaming! Simple addictive game play Easy to pick up hard to put down.
This is the best, we can't believe we got a commemorative plaque.
This is a good and fun game! The gameplay mechanics are simple yet innovative and addictive and the challenges of unlocking new planets keep things interesting.
Exciting defence game with space run.
Fly up and down and shoot the wave of enemy coming at you. Very nice graphic and effect, lots of achievement to unlock. Thumbs up also for the music and sfx. The only cons on our opinion is the text after game over, a little bit to much info,it took us a while to see the Retry button… Anyway…. Superb app.
A game that blends tactical thinking.
This is the top game. Extremely addictive, great graphics and gameplay, and the music is cute and chippy. Couldn't recommend more to everyone on the planet (earth).
We just downloaded this game today and have been playing it non-stop for 5 hrs!! So much fun lol.
This game is very good. We strongly recommend it to everyone who has ever played a game and enjoyed it.
