  1. [R1] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Glitchy: The game is fine but I can’t play the multiplayer mode. I get about 3-4 shots in then it just turns off. Has been happening for about a week. Fix this please.
  2. [R5] Sniper Shooter 5/5 · US Awesome: Simple graphics but I fully enjoy it for all that it is. Thanks 🤙
  3. [R18] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US good but buggy: a rather enjoyable game! it’s fun in a very simple way. kills are rather satisfying. i like the puzzle of the higher levels. it is so annoying, however, when you shoot the light (with the intention to turn it off) and it just doesn’t, no matter how many times you shoot it/all around it. to get it to work, you just have to restart the level from the beginning and hope for the best
  4. [R45] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US Interactive levels not working: Any levels that require shooting something other than to the person to bring them out don’t load/work properly.
  5. [R9] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Something wrong.: So every time I open the game and press play it turns to small screen and I do not no how to reverse it or fix it so can You fix it devs?
  6. [R11] Sniper Shooter 5/5 · US Easy to play: Fun and easy to operate!
  7. [R15] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US (: My new iPad m4 doesn’t fill up my screen and it’s hard to play now :(. pretty good tho.
  8. [R20] Sniper Shooter 5/5 · US Great Game!: I love it! Really fun and easy to play! Amazing to play over and over again.
  9. [R10] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Fix the store: I bought something from the store and I got nothing wast of money
  10. [R12] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US You can’t shoot the lights please fix: Will rate 5 stars when lights fixed :)
  11. [R13] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Attention: I purchased weapons and the sniper shooter vip. It did not give me the vip or the weapons. It basically took my money. That’s bad business
  12. [R3] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US good but pricing is insane and it is p2w: i love the game but 24 dollars for a sniper is kind of a joke not gonna lie. and now you cant even play more than 3 games per day of multiplayer without having to pay for vip. thats ridiculous. ive already beat all levels and 95% of achievements/challenge and its very fun but sort of pay to win (p2w).
  13. [R6] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Way Too Expensive: I’m in my mid 50’s and well established therefore I can honestly say that $7.99 a week is way over priced. What I compare as windows 95 era graphics. If you see people dumping after a week consider making a little off of many vs. a lot off of few which is the new norm. $.99 a mo paid up front for a year is completely doable. I may be one way off, but that’s what I see.
  14. [R26] Sniper Shooter 4/5 · US $24 a month is crazy: Too expensive
  15. [R28] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US VIP: $8 a week is terrible.
  16. [R47] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Sniper shooter: Games is great but when it’s tells your to shoot the light and it’s not working it’s kind of pisses you off need to fix a lot of bugs in the game and it don’t load right when your in multi player
  17. [R16] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US STOLE 2 DOLLARS FROM ME: I wasted 2 dollars to get a new sniper and I don’t have it, It’s making me pay more !! That’s ridiculous 😡
  18. [R19] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Cant get the good guns: I purchased the upgraded version and it told me i cancelled the subscription, i went to my account and it showed i purchased the upgraded account. So i went back and attempted to use the better gun and it still would not let me!!
  19. [R66] Pure Sniper 3/5 · US Pay to play: The game itself is a lot of fun, but don’t be misled. It is a major pay to play game, and it is run by particular clans headed by the developers and silver spoon players who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on in game gold and use cheats like aim bots to get ahead of everyone else and claim the top of the leaderboard. I know this because I’ve been playing this game for over 3
  20. [R69] Pure Sniper 3/5 · US Fun game but you have to pay eventually: Cool game that will last you a week or 2 until the delivery for sniper upgrades which are needed to play a boss level hit a point where you have to pay for gold or dollars no matter what if you want to have fun and play consistently. Upgrades start costing crazy amounts.
  21. [R85] Pure Sniper 1/5 · US Another Minirip Pile of Feces: Typical scam for upgrades. Once you get to a certain level, you are basically FORCED to pay. Piss poor play control plaques the game and you basically can’t advance fairly without being fleeced. Aquire target, headshot & game responds “Target survived shot”. I just got my anus ripped six ways to Sunday 7 times in a row until out of energy and that’s after hitting bo
  22. [R91] Pure Sniper 1/5 · US Pay to play: Stop making games that you have to pay to play constantly
  23. [R34] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US Hate Gyro Controls: The tilting of the phone is absolutely horrid and the sensitivity of the tilt is just as bad. I have to literally tilt my phone until the screen is out of my view just to I’ve the crosshairs to the target. But what can you expect from a low quality game that needs micro transactions to survive.
  24. [R39] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US Terrible Control/Terrible Quality: This game makes you tilt your tablet or smartphone to aim instead of dragging your finger across the screen. Because of this, it’s hard to keep still and steady. Aside from such terrible controls, the screen size ratio is also too small. Just terrible. I would not recommend playing this game.
  25. [R57] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US It’s terrible: Every time I try to do the cycle psychopath I can’t do it because I have to do this turn turn turn the phone and I can’t it’s impossible😡😡😭😭
  26. [R59] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Good game, bad mechanic.: I do not like the game mechanic in this game. The game is good and all, but it’s the game mechanic that is the main problem for me. It’s a really creative game mechanic, but the execution is horrible. I know it’s an extreme skill issue of me, but I’m not gonna even try to get good in this game.
  27. [R27] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Good game, lots of fixes needed.: So, I start the game off. The game screen doesn’t even fit on the full screen of mine. And I can’t start the mission because it gives me such a small screen that cannot maneuver.
  28. [R30] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US iPad won’t work: The IPad won’t go in fullscreen and starts to annoy me. I don’t know if it’s any other Tablet/IPad. I’m pretty sure you won’t recommend IPad for this. The game is pretty good though, in the phone. The game is Awesome!
