Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Just as the title says this game is absolutely amazing to play with as a fun time cruncher. We hope new updates for this game release new levels and challenges alike.
The concept is simple and yet still challenging, we like it.
It's basically Fruit Ninja but instead of fruit, there are tampons, and instead of ninjas, it's not fun.
This game is just so addictive and fun.
We like it. It will keep your finger busy.
So Good… Blast to play! We can't believe it. This game is amazing. Nostalgic, but with great graphics. When we played Atari's Missle Command on iPhone, we were surprised by how much better it was in our memories! This game is exactly the look, feel and fun we would have thought vintage Missle Command would have been. Happy we found it! So FUN.
Fun game with a really great look and feel to it. The music is especially nice also. But for what is essentially an arcade shooter variation, the waves drone on for far too long. The difficulty ramps up a little too steep too. If that was tweaked a bit this would be a five star game for us, but as is only gets a three from us.
Basic idea yet isn't very fun. Also claims to give you free crystals if you join back in within 24 hours yet it doesn't. Waste of time.
Every time we make it to the boss on the level and we go to make a line and it either doesn't make the line or it makes the line to the side. Where the missiles hit and we loose. Game has a little game play but gets old fast.
If we could get rid of the video ads we would keep playing it. At least for a bit. We're not going to assume paying money will do that. Not when some developers take money and remove ads or ad banners but keep the ad videos. Shouldn't be surprised by anything some of this FREEMIUM games do.
