Been playing this game for years. Easy to pick up and play, simple, offline fun, paid for DLC, always go back when I have 10/15 mins to pass. Just basic easy fun!
★★★★★Jack Of Spades· Feb 2, 2026
I remember some kid back in probably '05 telling me to sit down and play this game with him at the ymca in Oshkosh, Wi. I would have been 5 or 6 myself, but I've owned and played this game ever since. As an adult it's a very fun and easy distraction or decision maker in lines or at bars and so on because of its simple concept and easy translation. I remember as a kid never being able to get the dlc packs but just imagining what they could have been like, especially after seeing some promo art

I was excited to play this game after such a long time and even purchased the deluxe pack, but unfortunately I can only hear the music. The SFX and click sounds do not work at all.
★☆☆☆☆Nik· Jan 21, 2026
No sound effects for weapons/explosions. Been like that for months. Total shame.
★☆☆☆☆Rahul Dodda· Jul 20, 2025
App doesn't go beyond the loading screen after installation even after waiting more than 10-15mins? Is there any issue with the release?
★★☆☆☆Diamonte Culture· Jul 24, 2025
The game itself is a good concept and has nice physics, but the AI are far too accurate and difficult to beat. I'm at difficulty level 2 of 10 and still getting bodied by my opponent flawlessly. Whatever AI difficulty behavior model they made or are using is most likely basic and lazy, and it kind of ruins the casual experience for me.
