Community Insight:
We love playing h thx is game but when we started we got a big headache for no reason we played until we died and left what we had whats hallucinations of the game but still fun game to play.
To game developer: in your description of this game youve chosen to use challenge your reflexes as a descriptor; however, thats actually incorrect to say. Reflexes: are an involuntary response the body uses to avoid danger (hand + hot metal = burn…) receptors are triggered which send signals via a sensory neuron to your spinal cord and passed on to a motor neuron which triggers a muscle or gland to be stimulated. By bypassing the brain, signals being sent through the body are sent and received far quicker. The brain takes time to process and determine a response/outcome. What youre looking for is: reaction time. Reaction time is a conscious decision. They are slower than reflexes, but unlike reflexes, reaction times can be improved with practice. *to a certain extent, within reason. A more suitable line would be: Test your awareness and reaction time. Probably wouldnt hurt to include that repeated play can significantly improve skill. Awareness is linked with reaction time: they arent the same, but they can be improved.
It makes us calm down when Im mad at somebody and also… GREAT WORK ON THE GAME! Sorry caps.
We LOVE this game, we currently am number 1 on the duo record list but we are trying to beat Zakku on normal mode now, while playing normal mode we emcountered a glitch with the plasma tracker, A certain part of the circle, around the top a little to the left, the plasma tracker will just keep shooting there and the bullets/ shots dont disappear. Because of this if there is a asteroid on top and you try shooting it you cant, it will just lock on to the glitched location where the rest are stuck, we have only encountered this twice and it has been in the same or close to same spot each time making us die once but we were only at 164 so it wasnt that big if a deal. We will rate this 5 star when it is fixed but Ill leave it at 4 star for now.
Very well made game. Challenging, but fun. Hope to see more Big Frost games in the future.
We have been looking for a hard game to play and this is the one we think so far.
Fun! Hard to control sometimes…finger gets in the way! Otherwise – we enjoy it very much.
This is a very fun arcade game: it a modern reimagining of Tempest and Asteroids.
Always play this game it's the best.
This is a well developed challenging came– great way to not focus on work.
It's pretty good, but can you add a new control scheme, since when you go to the top half of the circle, you thumb obstructs the view just a bit… Thanks.
This is hard, as it is meant to be, but man can it dazzle and get your blood pumping.
Yesssss!! If you played Smash Hit, this game is like 4x as better, and you shoot and blow stuff up. It is fun, but the game is hard sometimes.
Good game!, it's simple but also so much fun and hard.
Very simple, Very easy, but we don't want to stop playing it. Highly recommend if you are into arcade type games.
Super fun game, totally worth playing.
Derivative but enjoyable nonetheless.
Whether using our thumb or our index finger, our hand always gets in the way when rotating around the top of the screen. No fun.
Circuroid is one of those games you play to just get some time by. It's simple, but it has some fun to it. You'll definitely enjoy it.
It is way too fun and addicting. The only problem we saw in it was the lack of sleep we got from staying up all night playing it! DONT GET IT, ITS TOO GOOD.
It's very fun and addicting, but once u get to about 50 kills, it gets harder.
It's really simple and addictive.
This game is something that can't be put into words it's super challenging, but that's what makes it fun best game since ColorSwitch.
Fun, simple game. End up playing for hours.
Wow what can we say, this game is super addicting! We are very surprised this game isn't at least on the top 10 games on the iPhone.
Like it! Great visuals and gameplay. Great "quickie" kind of game.
Super fun game and really gets your heart racing! Highly recommend. Love that it pauses right when you take your finger off.
Other than the ads this game is fun for a quick addictive game.
Like the title, this is a fun app. Great for a disconnect and 5-10 minutes of game play.
This game is very interesting and exciting.
Great game. Hard to see ship. Please add inverse control. Thanks.
Really pretty looking and fun game.
This app is fun and work really well. It doesn't glitch or have a million ads. It has a few but they are not really occasional. This app is addictive.
We could see ourselves okay go this off and on. Not too hard to we crease to level 4 in about 5 minutes. But we're probably slower than most. It's worth a go.
Got nothing to do, had this app for 2 days and still finding it enjoyable. Dont level super fast. Wish there was a small campaign though.
This game is ok. Would be better if it had better controls. It requires you to move your finger back and forth over the screen, which results in blocking the screen. Frustrating for us. Maybe we're doing it wrong.
Ripoff of a better game: Vectradius. Do yourself a favor and play the real deal, not this wannabe.
Boring, dull, UI is terrible, get better at making/designing games pls.
Quick simple game. You continue to level up and move forward with out truly being restricted with your game play. (we.e. Candy Crush or something similar). Fast pace and easy to play. Kudos on an awesome little game.
Awesome game it's hard in the beginning but, once you find a good rhythm you can't stop playing.
Awesome game, but our finger stays in front of the screen quite often, please fix that.
This game is awesome!! The controls need a little work though! This game reminds us of Asteroids/Tempest.
This game is just the right blend of challenge but easy to play. Our six year old loves it but as an adult we're happy with it too.
Us and our friends play and we compete to see who does better, it allows u when u have nothing to talk about with your friends, u can play this game.
It's a great game to pass the time would like to see more in the future.
Instead of shooting from the middle out you shoot from the perimeter in. We feel this is better play than asteroids. You get superb ship and weapons control with just one finger. Best way to learn the game is to play it 2 or 3 times and your brain will go "Ah Ha!" we hated the long wait for ads to play out so we blew the .99 after our third game. If paying .99 breaks your bank we would not recommend this game due to the ads that we will have to read you complain about in your review. Worth every penny. We were easily addicted.
This is a very fun, addictive, simple game that we use to pass time. We like the music too it makes it seem more intense we think Big Frost Games did a great job and should make more games.
Great graphics, fantastic FX, and keeps us entertained for hours.
This is not one of those freemium games. Would highly recommend for anyone.
