Community Insight:
We bought this without looking at the reviews we used to play this on our mom outdated and un updated iPad it was our childhood n we loved this game sm but now it doesnt work :,).
The app is dead. But we still remember it, it was a great game.
Stuck on loading screen. Oh well you got our money years ago who cares if we can access the thing we paid for right.
App does not work. Do not waste your money.
Fun, addicting game. We love it.
Extremely fun and pretty darn hysterical and well… Cute. The sequel is an action puzzle platformer and it looks awesome. Check it out in kick starter.
Fun and cute. We love the art style and the tight controls. Looking forward to more from this developer.
We LOVE THIS GAME! ITS HILARIOUS FUN! Its hard at first but if u practice a lot it gets addicting. We played this game so much that we ended up having about 30 TOKENS.
It's sad. No one in our school knows this game.
This game was super fun . Each level offered funny surroundings and characters.
Cute, a lot of fun to play…so many fun characters in it! Great job.
Great game!!! Here's a helpful secret! On the first round, before the first boss battle (as ur flying through the air) put the hamster on the bottom of the screen, you'll get explosive eggs as a weapon and can beat the boss in one hit.
It's true, the game is pretty difficult, but that's the fun of it! We suggest not to pass up this game. It's fun, addictive, and the characters are down-right adorable.
Great game! So much fun! Classic arcade style and REALLY hard! In order to stand a chance of winning you can't lose any credits for the first 4 levels. Even though we can't beat it so far, we keep wanting to play because of the awesome soundtrack and replay value. For everyone who thinks they're WIN because they got it for free: It's only $2. And it's worth every penny.
This game is supposed to be an incredibly difficult arcade style experience, and that's why we love it so much. Besides the more time you play the easier it becomes, because you get continues for every 30 minutes you play. Great job Game Atelier.
Got a lot of hours out of this one.
Yeah it's great, and it doesn't crash. 8D.
This is a very fun game! Also nice graphics. Add us on GameCenter: spdamine.
Like how you can continue where you left off & especially since we got it for free. :D.
It's so cute! We love this app! It saves all our progress for us, and let's us restart at our death point, which is good. The levels are nice and challenging, except the Alien level is so hard! Can never get passed it >.> Good app.
Funny and cute! Awesome soundtrack! It's so much fun! Cool gameplay! It's so much fun.
We wish u would put a level selection thing on there so we wouldn't half 2 start all over from the beginning every time u die. Because we can't even get past level 2 and it's hard 2 play tru the whole game in 1 sitting.
We wouldn't pay for this but anyway we got it while it was free.
Great graphics and sooo cute!!! Only wish there was level select. Other than that it's adorable and amazing.
This IS a great game!! And we got it FREE.
Ours was free for the whole game we didn't pay for it.
We picked up this game and simply couldn't put it down! Our brothers and we have played this for hours so far. Levels and enemies are very funny and creative. Music fits perfectly, too! Keep up the great work.
Its so much fun! We play it daily! We love the fact that anyone can play it!! We would get it a million times if we could its awesome now if only our phone had this.
This game is so fun! It's one of the most played games on our iPod! It's a simple but addicting game and we recommend it to everyone.
Ha ha Ha we got it for free one week ago ha ha HAAA :p.
Great graphics, superb soundtrack and accurate controls. One of the best shooters on the iPhone ever.
We love this game so much. We are so addicted. Only small setback… We wish it would save because once you lose, you have to start all over again. But overall, this is great.
After playing one level we didn't want to stop. So much fun! We can't think of one single thing that we didn't like. Excellent game and a must-have.
This game is so awesome, we can only do this.
We remember playing some old gameboy games when we were little much like the game plan this have and we really miss it. Flying hamster is so awesome XD! We hope they make some more.
We bought a copy for our psp and now we got it on our iPhone.
