Matrix!
CLAIM NEIGHBORHOOD
Stake your claim on places around town by planting cacti. Develop your area and defend it from others.
MEET OTHER PLAYERS
In Cheapshot, players see each other in real time on the map. Talk to them, make new friends or enemies — it’s up to you (and your level of charisma in real life).
BECOME A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT
As you level up, and put on cool gear, you increase the size of a lot of your stats. Soon the whole town will want to be friends with you if only for fear of the size of your damage.
Features:
- The largest open world in the history of mobile gaming. The whole planet is in your pocket!
- Your own feet as the main game tool. Moving in the real world, you move around the game world.
- Lots of fun avatars available to choose from. Literally hundreds of options!
- Regular events with unique and valuable loot. Don't miss out!
- Local and global leaderboards. Can you become the strongest in the city?
- Taking care of your own territory includes elements from idle, tower defense, and even strategy games – 3 in 1!
- Rewards for each new level, what's waiting for you on the next one?
- Deep system of characteristics and equipment, combine items to suit your own play style. Maybe you're a pacifist and you're not going to make a single shot? – No problem! We don't mind! Give all your attack items to your friends.
- Absolute sandbox, no quests from tedious NPCs. The only limitation: your love for your own neighbors.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a great game about communicating with people from your city where you can find friends and enemies. Build, steal, communicate and enjoy.
"Cheapshot" , , . , ! , – , ! Horizon.
We started playing a long time ago and just wanted to say we love the game.
Theres a bully in our entire city that kills new players and just threatens to go to their houses to r*pe them and all kinds of things. Reports in this game dont do anything because how can you care about your players but also let these people get away with this behavior.
The game is super fun the only issue we have is its impossible to do anything with monuments as there is only 1 in our entire state. Over 3 hours away from us by car. Id like if we had access to monuments like other players. Other than that, the only issue is clans, and people using multiple phones to level up faster. Low level players are targeted by high level players even though there is nothing a low level player can do about it other than be killed over and over again.
It keeps saying request times out. Servers are probably dead.
The app icon is so funny that it makes us laugh intensively.
We like our favorite game like multiplayer or something so we will give 5 stars.
We have recently picked up this game and we have been enjoying it very much especially with the few new items theyve added in to enable players to play from home. Just one thing we noticed that is lacking is item collection, you have settlers to plant the with bees and lady bugs to tend to your plants but nothing that you can send out to grab items for you. If they had something that could retrieve things while you stay home it would make it even better.
Location based games are all very much the same but this one is very deferent in the best ways.
Ive seen ads of this game and it looked like fun, but we cant even log in with google…it keeps saying an error occurred.
We found this game while on vacation and its fantastic. Very addicting and very fun as it is, but it definitely has potential to be a huge success with some more updates.
We saw an add for this game while on vacation and we downloaded it love the concept and the use of emojis, our friends have it too and now we battle all the time, we hope this game blows up and gets a lot of players, Im veery excited for this games future.
This game is really fun, its fun to claim territory in your town. There arent many players in our area so Ive just been destroying abandoned bases but thats ok, still fun to upgrade your stuff and become stronger.
We put a couple days to work to where we got and it wouldnt connect no matter where or what we tried doing so we deleted the app thinking we could get our same account Shotta is the name and it has a green dragon in Hilliard Ohio we were wondering if theres a way to get it back because we cant even set cacti where we live because theres too many from our older account. Otherwise its an amazing game.
You can make enemies or Allies in this game.
Real geo-location game that is fun to progress through and never really get stuck at any walls. Progression is all effort based. Fairly strategic game and fun to make friends locally and in Pyongyang.
Great game that gets us out of the house, just wish there was more advertising for it on social media platforms to get more players in the game! Other than that Ill keep playing it! Hope to see more players some day.
Hi, avid player here, level 21 with a decent amount of high level buildings, the only problem is the massive progress curve and the fact that there arent many people around us to compete with. And also there arent any reliable ways to get free diamonds or good mods. Great game otherwise though, keep up the good work.
Im about to hit level 30 and Ive enjoyed this game it has lots of cool stuff but after a while there is very little reason to continue playing, part of this has to do with a low player base but even if there was more players it would take them months to catch up with us. Im not sure what but Id love a bit more late game content.
If youre a kid or struggle to understand concepts of games and having to have the game to tell you what to do at all times then this game aint for you. This game is for adults or people who are able to comprehend how to play individually and for people who know how to explore game mechanics. All the while being simple. To which is why you got a lot of children complaining in the reviews. Sorry kiddos, this one is for us.
This game is incredible. While seeming complex in the beginning, it quickly opens up with tons to explore and interesting mechanics. Id love for more people in America to play this game, hopefully the game will get some good marketing and reach more people, but for now, take our word that you will enjoy the game.
Pointless game with zero explanation included. All we know is it wants our location and access to our microphone. Feels this app is a cover up for illegal tracking and recording. One star.
Its a fun game just needs more players.
Stopped working in the middle of the mission. Fk.
We've been playing this game for two years almost, and it never stops being amazing. There are a few things we would do differently, though.
We like the game and we think it has potential, it is pretty cool. We wish it wasnt so heavily Pokmon go-y where you have to physically walk 500m into your neighbors backyard to pick stuff up though. Its gratuitous. Make it so items can be remotely picked up by bots or something. The concept of having to physically be near stuff is cool but not at all fun or rewarding.
Please keep updating this. Game its fun af it has so much potential.
Please make it we can pick up the loot from mills we cant go outside and get it just please.
Interesting strategy game based on territory expansion and defense. However, they lost us with the same walk-to-loot mechanic as Pokmon Go. Id rather kick rocks. Take that out, let us grow our territory without moving from our couch, and you gotta winning game. 2 stars til then – will not be playing.
We started playing cheap-shot around 1.5 years ago and have been hooked ever since! It seems silly with the pig icon and stuff but theres no games like this one that Ive ever seen! Overall tons of fun 100/100 would recommend.
We love this game but we have one complaint. There should be a way to upgrade all of the plants at one time.
Pretty fire concept but its all bots.
We downloaded this app only for it to tell us it doesnt work on Jailbroken devices. Im not jailbroken. We just want to play the game.
Super fun! We had a little account trouble a few months back but the developers reached out and helped; theyre continuously working hard on this game and it shows with these monthly updates. Only thing Id recommend\hope is more unique content! Keep up the amazing work and yall should give this game a try and you might love it like us.
Been playing for a while but all of a sudden we cantt even log in and get a permissionDenied error every time we try to sign in with google or game center. It was okay while it lasted we guess Developer sent a response but still no assistance with getting our account back. Thanks a lot.
Makes us feel like we own something for once. Even if its just virtual… We own our town & our enemies are scared of us.
We logged in the game but it didnt let us play it kept saying error, we love the game, its great, we always play it when Im on the go, we would really love to get our account back, our account name is Literally A Bear please help us we love this game so much.
This game is crazy good! One problem would be if there was more ads so more players can play.
Overall amazing game. We love this game so much eeeeee. They need more games like this. It's action packed but simple, making there be a need for strategy while the overall aim of the game is easy to achieve. We love it. Please work on location accuracy and make your location update faster and please increase range of picking up items.
We'll be honest it looks like a really fun game but we can't load in we have a almost brand new iphone XR on ios 13 and we can't play. We tried deleting and reinstalling but it stills doesn't work.
People must play it Its better than pokemon Developers we need more players.
That stupid force touch attack, especially on couriers.
Really cant help it. Please, fix snakes reacting to come back, they dont :(.
Game that you should play But if your speaking turkish they can give chat ban whitout saying somethink bad pls fix that cheapshot.
