Planet Survivors 12+

This game isn’t perfect and the graphics aren’t the most impressive, but the graphics are good enough and the gameplay is simply addicting.

Oh, and you can get almost anything you need for free with ads, but you’re never forced to watch ads (always optional).

Absolutely deserves 5 star for the upgrade system, gameplay, and how monetization doesn’t hurt free gameplay. Other mobile developers using ads should study this game.

Had a review on here. It was favorable but disappeared for some reason. That being said this is a good game. A little repetitive as each level basically follows a set pattern they just get harder as you move along. You collect items such as weapons and uniforms that help you get stronger. The biggest problem I’ve found is there’s not much information as to how things work so you have to figure it out as you go along. Good thing is that it’s not super complicated so you can bumble along figuring it out as you go. There are a few things like some crystals that you collect but, as of yet, don’t serve any purpose in the game. I’m hoping it’s part of some future addition to the game. I sent an email inquiring about them but was told they weren’t sharing that info with me. Excuse me for taking an interest. Anyway, I really like the game. It’s getting to the point the levels are too hard with my current equipment so I either have to shell out some dough or be in for the grind. That’s cool though. I don’t mind throwing in some loot for a well made game. If you like fairly simple games where you get to blast away at aliens, robots and such then you’ll like this game too. And you’re not bombarded with ads which is absolutely fantastic in todays game world! Thanks programming wizards for creating a fun way for me to blow my free time!

Reached the end of the 3rd planet and was trapped in this weird cliff arena place with nowhere else to go and no enemies spawning. Progress bar was at 81% but I couldn’t go further because of the cliffs or backtrack because of an invisible wall. The only option was to quit the level (which prevents rewards).

The gameplay up to that point was okay. The midpoint boss for that planet was surprisingly fun. There are just too many other games with the same general structure to have such awkward animations/hit boxes and progress-destroying bugs.

Why does quitting a level not earn rewards gained up to that point in the level? Also, why do red walls (prevent going backwards) appear behind the character with enemies still spawning on the other side of them? This causes enemy drops to fall out of reach and needlessly hampers mobility.
