Beautiful, but it more usefull if our progress will bi saved.
This game is addictive and fun!!! :).
This is a great game, but we need to drop a whole star based on the creepy ads they show that others don't don't. Poor show.
Refreshing. Good music, interesting experience. But you really can't see where blocks come from beneath your finger. Therefore we play this game sideways. Sensitivity is a little bit high.
Seriously awesome game!!! We're hooked.
Their description "It's easy to play and insanely addictive," is a major understatement. This game is friggin' fantastic.
We have gotten a bit obsessed with this game because we always want to beat our high score but very good game.
Yes, it can be frustrating and yes, there's a big learning curve, but that's the hallmark of a good game. We love a game that has a continual challenge, even as we improve, and this game offers that in spades! It's super addictive, because you're constantly working to beat your own high score, and that's never easy! Love it.
Challenging and surprisingly addicting.
A very difficult game but it is very enjoyable.
It's so difficult or we're too lame.
It's a hard, simple, fun, no point kinda game but yeah it's cool.
Really fun and challenging!!! But needs more than the one game mode.
This game is difficult at first, but you become better at it and it becomes addicting and very fun. We love it.
Honestly really fun and addicting. Takes aim getting used to we wish the object would follow your finger (you'll know what we're talking about if u get it).
This is the best game ever you have to get it hope it will be the next big game But anyway best game ever.
Fun game, dynamic content, simple concept great gameplay. Over all we would say that this game is very well put together and has great controls. Easy to pickup hard to put down. The dynamic environment really keeps you on the tips of your fingers. We would recommend this game to others 5/5 stars.
It's hard at first then once you get the hang of it it's amazing and way better with sound.
Our only complaint is how difficult it is STARTING out.. And the "inability" to continue from the last level. STILL A GREAT GAME!! Buzz worthy! Try it.
Simple structure, decent music and appealing to the mind and eye. Lots of fun.
We've seen a few flash games similar to this one online, and they work great mechanically with the mouse. Unfortunately for absorption it's nearly impossible to see what's happening beneath your finger. Which has resulted in most of our deaths. Otherwise? Great game. Challenging and difficult without being too punishing.
Wish it was more responsive. But extremely fun.
Fun game. Hard to get going at the beginning but very addicting. We would love to see more graphics and sounds. It would also be great to start off on the level we ended.
Significant bug fixes made the game much more playable–would be nice if there were less extreme jumps in difficulty level-to-level, but overall a fun game with a lot of potential.
In a world of "how much x can you dodge before y happens" games, the best term we can use for this game is refreshing. It has a rough learning curve, and can be somewhat infuriating, but unlike most games it relies on maneuvering your finger to dodge enemies, mixed with a bit of strategy. The controls can be either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, but needless to say its a great game, and at a current price if 0$ and 0 cents, everybody should at least check it out. It's not for everybody, certainly, but for us it was fun and challenging.
It's lots of fun. Like playing with magnets.
The problem here, in our opinion, is less the difficulty and more the inability to see necessary things in the screen because your finger blocks them. You must have your finger on the screen to play, and you have to move it all over. It blocks the crucial enemies that you have to know the locations of. Not sure how to fix it, probably just a fundamental flaw, making the game far more suited to PC than a phone.
Visually the game is great and it is a real neat concept, but it is simply too difficult to get really into it. We've played off and on for about a week and our highest score is 189.
Super fun, super hard to put down. The wall sensitivity seems to be too high. Maybe we're a sore loser but we feel like we blow up when we're too close to the walls and don't even touch them. Peepoopoopawwa.
We've never written a review before, but we've decided to for this game because we think it's great. The game is smooth, creative, and it looks great. We can appreciate the simplicity of this game, but for us it lacks replayability. If the game designers added goals, power ups and/or some sort of level system it would keep us coming back. Right now it's a game you play a couple times, never play again, and eventually delete.
Touch and play is really fun, but the alignment is off. Sometimes the icon even strays away. The colors and sounds are cool and needs more variety. Has potential be more addictive and less frustrating.
We wasted a fair amount of time trying to "get" this game before we realized you need a felt tipped stylus in order to have any chance at it. Why the game doesn't mention this in the tutorial is beyond us.
The game is entertaining at first, but the ads are obnoxious. The problem is not the mere presence of ads, but the way they are used. The app tries to trick the user into clicking the ad. Leaving the game to the AppStore app due to accidentally clicking on an ad is not a rare thing. Thats a cheap trick to get a few extra bucks, it makes us hate the game.
Game lacks consistency in that the levels are too random, identical objects take different amounts of time to destroy. There are no power-ups (aside from the one that randomly happens that extends your reach to the whole screen) no special items or combos to build power. Because of these flaws the game falls flat quickly. Looking forward to an update that offers these things.
Game is cool would have got a better score if they had only had the regular banner ad at bottom of the screen like normal but these jerks have pop ups you will accidentally hit because they want you to buy the game so it ruins the experience. Which seeing how they would put that in it makes us not want to buy it.
It's too hard to see the screen and control the game at the same time.
It needs to be better calibrated. The ball thing is not where our finger is at.
Feel like this game requires a stylus or small finger. We can barely see the icon we're trying control which as fast as the game is makes it hard to play. If we could see it wouldn't be so bad. Otherwise looks good and decent idea, could be addicting.
We are unable to play because we can't see what's going on underneath our own thumb. We die every time because some object we didn't see coming pops out from under our thumb and kills us.
We can't even get a feel for the game mechanics because we keep dying 1 second after the game starts. Starts off way too hard, and then it quickly gets much harder still. And there are weird shadows that make the borders unclear, and lots of other problems like that. Good concept ruined by poor execution.
You don't have to place your finger directly on the white circle Also it's a great game.
This game is so addicting and fun. Idk what all the complaints about the controls are all about. It's perfect because you can always keep an eye on the player even when it goes in the corner.
Really nice simplistic design n gameplay.
You can put your finger anywhere on the screen to move your ship. The edges of the screen are out of the plating area so you don't have to block your view. It works well.
Our friends and we play it at the same time to see who will win! We see this becoming a drinking game.
Addictive and fun! A great way to make you smile! We recommend this game app to everyone who enjoys their iPhone.
What you all hatin' on dis game fo'? It's totally radical! This game is one of da best! It reminds us of dEXTRIS in a way. Tubular.
Finaly A game that is new and awsome.
We can't see the edges when we move the icon, it's fun though.
Finger blocks half of the screen.
