Community Insight:
Plz make so you can replay levels.
Does this game work with the icade 8 bitty.
This game is fun but we don't want to keep on shooting peoples heads off add some bosses or add vehicles.
Interesting game to play to pass time/for fun/etc. But gets a little boring and repetitive after a while. Game Center integration would also be great.
It crashed the Internet on our ipod.
Too Many Glitches and unpredictable problems, or should we say thats the predictable part? Crashes, controls sticking or non-responsive at times. Coulda' been a really cool game but Desert Slug belongs in the desert w/ a slug.
This used to be a decent game, but somewhere along the line they decided to destroy the controls and leave it like that. Now you'll shoot the ground or backwards, you have very little control over your aim, making the game nigh unplayable.
Good game but like everyone said, the auto switch needs to go.
As you can tell almost no one like the auto swap please remove it! Other than that we love the game.
Nothing like Metal Slug! Boring and easy. Beat entire game in 13min. Only 5 levels. Gave 2 stars cuz it's free and did not crash on load.
Fun for awhile but gets very boring don't get.
The game is good you guys just need to fix this one problem everytime we pick a weapon up it switches to that weapon and we hate that stupid. Please fix that.
Not a good game. Waste of money.
For a game that crashes every time we get on the dam app fix this bug for 2nd generation iPods.
This game is a complete waste of time and memory on your device. The worst part of it is that you can only use one gun. It is a complete fake of metal slug. Thank you for you people who have actually taken your time to read this message it will be very helpful.
This is one of our favorite games now.
This game is amazing… But… We need the ability to turn off the auto gun switch and we need to be able to customize our character…. With these changes, the game would be one of the best on the market.
Make a white character and make it so every time u run over a gun you don't switch Guns that's so annoying.
You just need an option to take off all the blood. And let us customize our character.
We downloaded this game because we are a huge Metal Slug fan but this game just bores us. It seems like you are just walking by shooting people. There is nothing fun about it.
We were playing for a long time, then we stopped for a few months. We came back to find ALL OF MY PROGRESS DELETED.
Good game, but the autoswitch when you pick up ammo us annoying. It has caused our death countless times. Fix that so you can turn it off and on in the options. If you do that, we would give this game a five-star rating. We're sure a lot of others would agree.
We just don't like the switching guns when you pick up ammo, everything else is good.
Auto switching guns and can't shoot backwards need to be fixed.
You switch to the gun that you last picked up ammo for and the aiming needs work but otherwise its decent. And all the guns look screwed up and you spelled berreta wrong.
We just bought it, but it's not even letting us play the game. To bad, it looked like a good game. :(.
This game is the worst game ever.
It would be a fun game except the constant gun switching whenever you pick up ammo is extremely annoying because you always end up dead because you switched to a bad gun.
Omg that's piece of junk don't bother to install , Garbage game freezes 1st second.
It crashed within the first fricken 2 seconds.
We have a 3rd gen iPod and it used to work. Now we can't start it please fix it because we love this game.
Needs to have an option so that it doesn't automatically switch to weapons you walk over.
Were are the call of duty modern warfare 3 guns and perks.
The controls weren't exactly that great, it's impossible to shoot behind you without walking backwards until your behind the enemy. But for a free app, it's not too bad.
Controls are sorta iffy, but useable. Difficulty is quite low. Seems running to the right and shooting can beat most of anything.
During the second half of a level you can shoot an enemy in the face with a rocket and they don't even flinch :/.
Would be at least 4 stars but who cares about upgrading one particular weapon if you're only going to be using whatever the guy who just killed you dropped, it literally makes the game almost unplayable after level 3 you're far better off only upgrading one gun than exploring them all, seriously, that's like just one part of the event loop when you pick up a new weapon, just delete it and we'll tell all our friends to buy it.
Waste of money boring and stupid and repetive.
Automatically switches to inferior weapon when you walk over it.
This is a great game.we found this just searching for something new and FREE and this was a perfect find.we love the different weapons and upgrades and the controls only take about a minute to figure out.Nice game to play at home or on the road. The only drawbacks are trying to jump over mines and found ourselves shutting the music off before the third lvl but overall get this while it's free or for $.99 it's worth it.
Pretty sick for free an like that they used all their gunz from cod mw2!! O we like.
Love the game, but make it for ipad too.
It remeinds us of the good old days of metal slug 3 we really like it thx for making it :3.
Cool game like the classic look to it. Please people rate this game good so it can be 4 out of 5 so they can upgrade it.
Freakin awesome game. How do u changes missions.
It's a classic run-and-gun game. Pretty fun, but it needs a few things updated. First, the ammo needs to be changed. Regardless of what you want to happen it switches weapons. Make a manual weapon swap instead. Second it definitely needs level select. With level select it might have some replay value.
The Weapons Are Similar To Call Of Duty Games But It's A Great Game Especially For Running & Gunning (;.
We totally recomend this game it's so awsome.
It's a good game but u should add machine pistols.
