App Store Editors’ Notes

Best game I’ve played in years!

Absolutely amazing game! Huge tip right off the bat, don’t buy premium until you play in both normal then easy. Game gets difficult fast and upgrades come slow. My personal choice was to stay in easy mode for my casual play style and then bought premium and upgraded one ship. I chose the ship that gives extra biomass from hitting pilots and your guns pick up biomass. Upgrades (at least at my skill level) are necessary at later levels. I personally mastered each level as I unlocked them for the biomass and upgrades. Wish the dev would do some IAP’s. More weapons, perks, ships, upgrade levels and biomass would be amazing! Please let us purchase some or all of these things to hopefully support you and to bring us more levels, ships, weapons, etc! Thanks for an amazing game!

Has potential

This game has serious potential. Graphics are gorgeous, there’s a large amount of upgrades, and After going through trial runs, I purchased Premium package to unlock full game, 4 more ships and enough gems/orbs to uprade your ship or two (READ BELOW BEFORE YOU SPEND UPGRADES). Unfortunately, there are currently too many deal breakers. First, the controls are sluggish no matter what settings you use. After the 3rd or 4th level, it gets too difficult. And you don’t earn or gather much orbs for beating past levels. In fact you can’t even buy orbs! So, upgrading becomes impossible. You really need to decide early if you want to upgrade 1 or a few ships. Which brings me to the final deal breaker: Losing in any level destroys your ship, which is fine, except you can’t use that ship for while (HOURS!). Waaaaay tooooo looooong! You can turn off this feature by switching to easy mode, which I did. But Im pretty sure thats the only thing that changes cause the levels never got easier. Fortunately all of this can be rectified by devs, which should be done to make game playable. Currently there’s not enough to keep most ppl playing. Lots of POTENTIAL though

Incredible game

Very few mobile games can give you that perfect feeling that this game gives. The way you can control with an offset finger in the left side of the screen and shoot/bombard with your right side thumb is genius. And I love that I can flick the screen to send my tank to a certain area too. The controls are top notch. The art style is impressive too, not something I’ve seen in any other game. And even when you’re going crazy with bullets flying everywhere it’s still smooth as butter and easy to tell your bullets apart from the enemies’ projectiles. Very enjoyable landscape style “space shooter” style game but with a spooky alien / lovecraftian twist.

Recover time

Normally I would give the game a 5/5 star review but something recently happened that lowers it for me. I have this glitch where one of my tanks just refuses to recover. Specifically my Ronin has been destroyed for weeks now and still hasn’t recovered despite having the black box upgrade full maxed out and having replayed and done mission after mission and it still hasn’t recovered. I even deleted the game, reinstalled it, got back all my progression, and IT STILL HASN’T FIXED THE ISSUE. Usually with my other tanks after fully replaying a mission or two they come back, but this one just refuses to do that for no reason. Please fix this, I don’t use ronin at all but not having it there as an option at least is annoying. Thank you.

Great Game!

I don’t remember enjoying a game recently as much as Flying Tank. The graphics, story and general gameplay is astonishing. I find the fact that your tank and some of its equipment get destroyed after dying is interesting because it forced me to try out other tanks and weapons, however at other times it bothered me a little that I can’t use my good tank again and I have to spend a lot of biomass for upgrades again. Overall great game! Purchased the deluxe version and still playing it!

Perfect, EXCEPT…

The controls make me crazy! Feels like swimming in gravy, and have tried both offset and virtual a joystick with no noticeable effect. (joystick was pretty close, but felt unresponsive quite a bit.) otherwise the game is fun as heck, the graphics are beautiful, and it’s just plain ol’ FUN! I especially appreciate the very distinct lack of advertisements popping up every few seconds, like most mobile apps lol!

I like the game a lot

I like the game a lot, but going through the tutorial all over again every time is really annoying and then you should be able to get health every now and again I should be able to get health every now and again or reach a safe point or something this is what I think of the game, but this is just one of my guys’s opinion And I’d like to be able to change the ordinance

Weapon Overlap with Controller

Dropped my rating down to demonstrate frustration with the removal of the ability to overlap the beam weapons while using a controller—in particular, the Gamma Disruptor Beam and the Solaris Particle Beam. Simultaneously, most other weapon combination have been given the ability to be overlapped, whereas they were not before. This makes for a confusing mishmash of most weapons that do overlap and some weapons that don’t, forcing the player to jump between two different methods of play that should not have this kind of variable. Please make all weapons overlap consistently while using a controller.
