HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (15 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • We need more players plz 5★, Oct 1, 2026
  • It's the best artillery game on iOS, I just wish it was at least four player, it's only one versus one. 4★, Nov 9, 2025
  • Whenever you try to aim it's just so weird and annoying like why add a power button if you have an angle button and even on easy mode the bots are still way too hard 1★, Jun 7, 2025
  • Please add controller support! 5★, Apr 24, 2025
  • Please add controller support 3★, Apr 19, 2025
  • Multiplayer needs more work done as it should be automatically updated while in game without having to go back to the lobby to refresh when trying to see a players move thought this is more for Android users, than it… 4★, Dec 31, 2024
  • I wish there was some way to talk to or talk trash to other players trough chat packs. 5★, Jun 26, 2024
  • The 'Easy' skill level is incredibly accurate, especially on the first shot, and I wish there was an even easier one. 5★, Apr 8, 2024

Rigged Game!

Never won a single battle against computer on easy mode. Not like the original game. Cannot even see target on screen. You have to guess where it is. Computer always hits you first and gets best weapons. Rigged!

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
Strategically fun

I’ve played this game when it first came out. It’s a simple cute game that all ages can play. It’s a strategy thinking game not just a shooting game.

Enjoyable, however

I've been enjoying this game for years, and with some of the newer weapons, I am scratching my head because it seems like when I play single player, my opponent gets favorable treatment. The obstruction, bouncy blocker I find to be the worst. I noticed my opponent has no problem, shifting a few degrees and clearing the obstruction when I use it against them, yet when I drastically shift the angle of attack on my turn, I always am deflected when it's played against me. Not that big of a deal, but it does feel like it's not a balanced game in this silly little detail. Obviously, I'm a stickler for details.
