Galaxy Shooter - Falcon Squad

I’m enjoying this game, and unlike another reviewer I’m not seeing any ads I don’t consent to beforehand. My problem with it is that the developer doesn’t seem to know how to make the app behave on an iPhone without a home button (like my iPhone X). Tapping near the bottom of the screen or swiping into that area during the game takes me into the app switcher, pausing the game and interrupting gameplay. And this happens often, to the point that I felt compelled to come write this review. Other games seem to be able to put phone-level functionality in the background while the games are in the foreground, preventing this kind of distracting interruption until you swipe very deliberately a couple of times, but this developer doesn’t seem to have figured that out yet. It’s too bad because otherwise this game has a lot to recommend it. I’ll keep playing for now - unless and until I find the interruptions too annoying - but I hope the developer fixes this issue before I give up on the game altogether. Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I actually receive the promised rewards for watching ads about one time in ten, so I’ve stopped watching ads for rewards.

This game is fun and challenging and you can upgrade and progress without the need for in-game purchases. There are plenty of coin multiplier ads and thats how I support you guys. However, there are way too many random ads. The ads at the beginning of levels start when the level begins so the game is going on while the ad plays. What are you trying to do? Make us loose lives to get us to watch the extra life ads? Typical greedy developers. Even worse are the prices to unlock the 3rd drone, the chainsaw, and the 2 best ships. The game is still fun with 3 ships, 2 drones, and 1 ultimate but their is no option to unlock the remaining ships, drone, and chainsaw with currency. The drone is $10, the chainsaw is $10, and the 2 ships are a total of $50. That is unbelievably sickening. That is more than an entire PC game. Why be so greedy? There aren't many ships and drones anyway so why have these insane prices? I really would like to unlock everything so please find it in your heart to have the option to unlock them with hard work and currency.

I’ve played this game many many times, and watched more ads than I can count. On many occasions I noticed that the advertisement videos would not work after playing the game several times on any particular day. It would just say n/a. At the same, I also noticed at the end of each level I completed I would never get offered an ad video to collect more rewards. I never clicked on the n/a icon until today, so I did just to see what would happen, and after clicking the n/a where the video icon is supposed to be, and then clicking on watch, it notifies me that there will be no more rewards until tomorrow. May I just say... how stupid that is!!! So let me just ask, what is the point in defeating a level (or playing at all), if I don’t get offered an extra reward for completing it, so I can upgrade my arsenal, and why in the h** is an app that is based solely on ads, because it sure isn’t solely based on my entertainment, only allow me to watch a certain number of ads before it cuts me off??? From a business standpoint this is sooo stupid!!! Hello!!! If I don’t play or I do play, and I don’t watch ads which is how you make a profit, then what’s the point?? Someone didn’t think that one through!!

Let me firstly say, I RARELY write reviews. Secondly, this game is a TON of fun! Thirdly, you lose the joy of how fun the game is when you get to a certain point and cannot move any further in the game unless you purchase a better arsenal. It doesn’t give you in game boosters to help you AT ALL! So I’ve played easy, hard, and hell and got to a point in each lever where I cannot make it any further because my ship isn’t as powerful as the aliens and bosses in the game. Makes it impassible to pass a level unless you “purchase” a better ship. Complete BS as I watch a TON of ads to try and better my ship and once the add has completed, it doesn’t even give me a reward AT ALL! Or I watch an add to continue with one life in the game and the game competent atop so after I have already watched the stupid add! Complete and utter BS and will be deleting this game as soon as I finish this review. At least give in game boosters to try and help you navigate tough levels! So disappointing to say the least guys! #FThat

So, its boring at first. It takes awhile to get to opponents worth your time. Which is fine cause you need to save up your coins to upgrade to larger ships. One way to get more coins is after you complete a map, hit that button that is flashing to double or x4 your coons you earned. THIS WILL NEVER WORK, DON’T BOTHER. Now the videos you do want to watch are located in the upper LH corner of the screen. Should loom like a little play sign. You can earn extra stuff this way about 80% of the time. The other %, nothing will happen. Also, nothing will happen if you watch the video for an extra life if you die. Don’t watch that one either. Its clear from the start the only way to get better ships and drones is to spend real money, which they are thirsty for from the start. They havn’t earned your patronage yet, but they will want it just the same, which is the way of the gaming world now. For the next ship above the starter ship, its $10 of your hard earned money. But for some reason if you manage to get the coins for the next ship without spending it on upgrading your current ship to get through those higher levels, you will eventually spend your money on the gems, because “shocker” they are harder to earn, but if def a requirement in upgrading your ship. All in all, fun game, will get boring without real money, be prepared to bring a blank check.
