HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (3.9 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.

★★★★★May 23, 2026

Amazing remake of a great game. fantastic job. I loved this game when it worked. now it doesn't. crashes when trying to open. I paid money for this, but now it won't even open. my hardware fits within the criteria of compatability. I feel a bit scammed! I'm using on Retroid Pocket 5, btw.
