HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (10 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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.

Great game! 🫡🙂‍↕️😁🤩

I purchased the whole pack for about $8 and don’t regret it! The cool thing with the game is that you can change the graphics from original to filtered! Game play is the same as I remembered!Definitely a game worth purchasing! Also to the creator: I’m waiting for metal slug 6 and metal slug 7 please make these games available for our mobile devices and for the iPod touch 7 gen

Curiosity

For people looking to buy this in 2025 the game lowkey runs great from any iPhone 12 and up I wouldn’t recommend playing with the touch pad I recommend playing with the controller through Bluetooth or backbone only issue is u can’t use grenades unless u touch the pad which isn’t a big issue that’s the only issue anything else or everything else runs smoothly I’ll say this for metal slug 1-3 and x all work this way I have yet to buy 4 and 5 but check it out soon to see if I left a review gonna buy it soon hope this helps

★★★★★Jun 27, 2024
Controls

The controls are a bit difficult to work with… I wonder if there’s a way you can make the joystick better to use
