I've been playing for years and it's always a good way to kill some time. There's tons of fun weapons and it's a solid way to learn some math. I do wish the difficulty bar made more of a difference, though. Often I'll have matches where no matter where i move or what I do, the enemy AI will manage all perfectly direct hits despite a difficulty of 3/10. It's not enough to warrant less than five stars however!

Fantastic game, fun to play and an easy way to distract yourself for a few minutes at a time. edit: removed one star for the frustrating effect from whatever the last update was that causes the stardust to stay in the sky after you use it and block shots from other items. if it was just an error please fix it, if it was on purpose change it back.

It's a fun rendition of the classic game, if you're playing with friends. There is a wide variety of weapons, terrains, and wind conditions. The single player experience is flat. The primary downfall is the difficulty slider is broken. Regardless of choosing the easier or more difficult settings, the AI hits with the first shot and every subsequent shot. This makes difficulty pointless and not as much fun.
