Community Insight:
Used to play this when we were like 8 back in 2008 this game is an epic Fortnite win.
Looking forward to the 64 bit version.
We're in College and we've been habitually playing this game for 5 minutes or so a day off and on since Middle school. So far we have 56 hours in this game and a highscore of 257.
Our favorite arcade game that we haven't got tired of.
Great game needless to say no alterations are needed, it never crashes either & kills tf outta time.
It's so fun we play it every morning.
This is a great game but we think the makers should upgrade action buggy and get new buggy and like aliens and all in the game but other than that it's awesome u should get trust us u will thank us:).
We simply love this game. It's very addicting and super fun.
Great App. It is our favorite Donut Games App. But it would be cool if you could add some Challenges and more Mini Games.
It would be very much appreciated, as this is our favorite donut games app.
Can u guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE optimize this for the iPhone 5.
This is the beat game ever and very addicting.
We have never played anything better. No complaints so entertaining we cannot stop playing.
This is the best app ever we love it!! This the only app we play and we have like ten pgs of apps!!! Hahahaha!! It's soooooo addicting.
Somehow no levels makes it more fun;).
You have to LOVE Donut Games! Fun for everyone.
We keep coming back to this one over and over, typically for just a few plays at a time. As other's have said, it is definitely hard, but, when we die, we always feel the mistake is ours; we can't blame it on lag, or poor controls, or anything about the game itself. When we got our iPad, we were pleasantly surprised to find the developer had made this one universal, even though it predates the release of the iPad.
This game is one of our gavorite games!!!! It is hard at first, but amazing!!!!! If you like doodle jump, youll probably like this. The graphics are retro and amazing!!! GET IT.
We're on this game all the time trying to be our old score…..it's do addicting it it hahaha.
Hot game Fun to play Awesome Grafix …and more …Though it's more of a minigame and sometime gets boring.
Donut delivers yet another great game.
It is soooooooo addictive. BUT we CANT GET PASSED THIS ONE LEVEL!!!!! We NEED HELP!!! But this game is sooooo amazing. Donut Games You have done it again. LOVE DONUT GAMES.
A clean sweep of winning the best app of all time! A+.
Ok, the game is very hard but the concept and design is an A+++++ Good job engineers.
Not very easy to get used to but a fun game nevertheless.
The game is so addicting! Lots of fun.
Donut games never dissapoints best game evar.
This is a terrific re-imagining of Moon Patrol arcade game from three decades ago. The graphics are superb, the gameplay is addictive, the music is peppy. What's not to enjoy.
Donut games make yet ANOTHER awesome game! Unlike Sunflat games, Donut always has fun, fresh ideas! Action buggy is super hard, and we love that!!! Papi gets so OLD. We love action buggy and it never gets old.
But it needs more modes and it makes us bored sometimes it's good 4 no internet.
Add more modes and make it easier.
We're sure it's mostly us, but the set up of arcing shots is just dang too difficult. It's about impossible to shoot the stones when under the trees. Very hard to aim. Very hard.
Not their best game, kinda hard controls, not that fun, but since we got it for free it was nice.
Our least favorite donut game. Not enough substance, easy to get bored after 5 minutes.
Would have given a 5 star review but it does not work with ipad mini. We used to play it almost daily on our iPhone but can't play it at all on our ipad mini. Would really like an update.
This app is in major need of an update for iPad mini! Thanks.
This game is kind of boring and hard we don't really like it.It's to frustrating.
Graphics is good. Music is OK. The style is there. But the gameplay is something like playing with grenade: single mistake (which is EASY to make) – you're dead. No fun at all. Probably the first game that bored us in record short time – about 45 seconds…:( At least good it was free… Update: thought we probably was too fast to decide. So we've decided to do some more rounds. Unfortunately, the game is stupid. Besides the gameplay is really something like a torture, the … Err story (?) is really dumb. Buggy made for crawling some alien planet is destroyed with about anything: piece of rock? A pit? A palm tree? Even a palm tree?!! And this whole mess is called 'Action buggy'. Action?! Err, Shaolin monks are stronger, faster and more 'action' than this junk… Sorry.
Sooo fun and addicting!!! Love it.
We love it but when u play when you die there is like 3 buttons to click and then you play again. There's like you died then your score and time and then u play again it takes forever!!!just let us play right away.this app is still our favorite just get rid of all the buttons.
We love this app we just wish that with the score you get you also get points and with the points you can upgrade your buggy that we would give 6 stars to.
The only way to make this app better is to add Game Center, but as far as the game goes it is perfect. We like to play it when we have a few minutes, it's not like other games where you need 20 min to play. Good job devs love this game.
Most of your games have more than one game inside of it like sunday lawn (awesomest game ever). It should be a level to see how many rockets you can shoot in 1 minute or until you die. We always see how many rockets we can shoot until we die so you should totally make it a level. Great game keep up the good work -KohD-E (cody).
Love it, so fun! Go Donut Games.
A replay button after u r finished would b sooo awesome 5 when that happens.
It is a little boring. Oops we just fell asleep.
Fun but sort of frustrating as the obstacles aren't within an inch of each other but we love the auto-generate.
This game is awesome. We love it. Cant stop playing it.
Man this is an awesome game. Donut games rocks.
