  • monetization
    563 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the increasing number of ads, particularly unskippable ones after every round, which disrupt gameplay. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses and the availability of in-app purchases, others feel that the game has shifted towards a pay-to-win model, making progression difficult without spending money or watching excessive ads. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the heavy reliance on ads and microtransactions has led to a diminished experience for many players.

    • “The gameplay is interesting and dynamic, while in-app purchases are completely optional and not necessary to have fun.”
    • “Awesome game honestly, no ads, don't really need to buy anything to progress, you can if you want, but like I said, you don't need to, the game provides as you play, that's assuming you're good.”
    • “The microtransactions are not intrusive at all, and the free starting ship is very good so long as you keep it upgraded.”
    • “Unfortunately, by the time you get to stage 9 you will be forced to either make in-app purchases to upgrade your ship or watch a ton of advertisements to double in-game currency from missions as the upgrades get significantly more expensive while the rewards increase in much smaller increments.”
    • “The devs have gotten very greedy and have so many ads it is now no longer fun.”
    • “Now it's nothing but ads.”

  • story
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative or storyline to enhance the gameplay experience.

    Reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, particularly for unlocking and upgrading ships, which can be tedious for players seeking a free-to-play experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable despite the grind, others criticize it for becoming overly repetitive and incentivizing microtransactions. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a double-edged sword, offering fun gameplay but potentially hindering progression without spending money.

    • “Decent retro-style voxel graphics, pleasant soundtrack, though ill-fitting at times, not much in the way of interesting play/score mechanics, way too grindy.”
    • “After a week or two progression is gated behind grinding or microtransactions.”

    • “No glitches.”
    • “I love the graphics and it runs great!”
    • “Game freezes at the end of leveling up the first ship and doesn't allow me to continue playing into the second world. It's frustrating to figure out it's just a bugged game. I had fun in the first level but lost joy right afterwards. Disappointed with the lack of freedom in the game.”
    • “Random force closes, the game freezes randomly, the screen flashes until the game force closes, and it's riddled with ads.”

    • “This is a very fun game that runs smoothly and barely uses battery.”
