Comments on Son of Light for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Jul 29, 2015
Re-retro Cool redo of an up-to-date retro style game... Thanks app gratis
★★★★☆ Facundo Costantini · Jun 6, 2017
The game is fun, has a decent amount of upgrades to keep you entertained. However de control of the ship sometimes doesn't work well, and also I bought a laser, removed the currency, but it wasn't there... correct this bugs, and it will be a 5 star game.
★★★★☆ Will DA Tank · Jan 20, 2016
Awesome! This game is simple yet satisfying, my idea is that you should not Only buy guns, but buy a Better ship
★★★★☆ Marcel Plch · Oct 30, 2015
Nice game A little bit repetitive, but quite addictive. Great thing to kill some boring time.
★☆☆☆☆ Richard Harper · Dec 8, 2018
When selling weapons if you press the menu button you lose everything.
★★☆☆☆ Aurobindo Ghosh · Dec 27, 2015
Bad fish like the rotten fish unhygienic sells, this game is rottenly slow
