[R6] You Sunk 3/5 · US was 2/5 not good frustrating … but i’ve noticed the devs always respond so 3/5: ok at first had promise and I only played it to get some money but then I realized I would have to beat 300 levels which to be fair was stated up front but would have been frustrating since the controls that weren’t too sensitive at first soon became so when the game gets harder and usually not a problem I like a chall
[R10] You Sunk 1/5 · US This is like Battle Ship board game.: This review is for the new way of playing You Sunk that was available when I opened the app this morning. When I started the game I noticed it had changed to a Battle Ship board game style. I wanted to play the old style, shooting torpedoes, but couldn’t find a way to go back to the old style game. I played it once and do not like it. Now the game is just a g
[R11] You Sunk 5/5 · US Ken Royce: After taking a long vacation from this game, I decided to try it again. I must say, it has greatly improved, and most of the glitches seem to have been fixed. I completed ALL of the games in the Easy mode, and am now on game 350 in the Hard mode. This game is definitely challenging and fun to play. I haven't had to the use too many of the secret weapons yet, but I'm sure they will co
[R23] You Sunk 5/5 · US One of the best games I’ve played: Very entertaining and fun. I will definitely recommend this game to anyone
[R3] You Sunk 3/5 · US Navy blood: AIDS way too long !!
[R4] You Sunk 1/5 · US Sargejack95: Reload time too slow Need faster reload time
[R9] You Sunk 3/5 · US New Update Made It Complicated…: The new update tried to improve the game, I can appreciate that. A graphics overhaul, redesigned gameplay, new ships, and new enemies. It’s not working right, though. The upgrades for the new ships are as extremely expensive as the original ship was, and coins still take far too long to farm. The redesigned torpedo shot slightly changed the all-important timing pla
[R15] You Sunk 3/5 · US Score Not Sticking: For some reason my score keeps resetting to 0. It used to retain My last score. The coin amount is retained, but not my previous score. Please advise. Thanks.
[R19] You Sunk 1/5 · US Game not working: Used to be able to play the game but now it won’t even update and I get booted from the game
[R27] You Sunk 3/5 · GB Gone down-hill: This used to be gem of a game, but since the last update with the fancy explosions, it’s now developed some bugs. When you hit a large ship in the middle, it explodes and vanishes, however it now seems to be invisible. You can still see the red blip on the radar. This means you now have to hit what is in essence a cloaked ship. Also the power ups don’t continue work once activ
[R31] You Sunk 1/5 · US Mix: It took me 15 days for it to load
[R37] You Sunk 5/5 · US Latest Update: With your latest update on July 31st to fix the “crashing” problem DID NOT work. It still crashes on opening. Please send another fix. Thank you, Dave
[R1] You Sunk 1/5 · US Powerups: Game now is attempting to force me to buy powerups. I used to play a lot without buying the powerups. I guess if I have to wait too long I will quit playing and find another game to play
[R13] You Sunk 1/5 · US Another Great Game RUINED: Well, I thought it was going to be fun; however, DEVELOPER GREED has ruined another game. Before you even play the game, they’re trying to hit you up for a subscription. Every 5 seconds they are trying to squeeze nickels out of you to the point it’s not even fun. This is to be expected, -game developers won’t settle for selling their game for a one time fair price.
[R24] You Sunk 3/5 · GB What could have been a gem of a game has been taken hostage of greed.: 1. From the get go, any game which has an “energy” system where you can only play a few games bet hour already looses a rating. It’s a feeble attempt at making money but ends up in me not wanting to support the company. 2. Constant micro transactions and ads. I get it - you guys need to make your bag, but you should realise tha
[R18] You Sunk 3/5 · US Landscape mode: Not being able to play in Landscape mode is frustrating. In landscape mode would allow a wider screen and easier operation. Note: I tried the App Support button; that that link only links to show games.
[R64] Uboat Attack 1/5 · US Ad free is a lie don’t waste your money: Gameplay is repetative and if there are that many ads in the first rounds it’s going to only get worse, purchasing ad free for $6 did nothing to diminish the ads. 0 stars would not recommend, scammy.
[R78] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US AD Free Version does not stop ads!: The game is fun and graphics are good, but paying $5.99 for the ad-free version does not stop ads! They are riduculously long videos and no way to close them out.
[R102] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Great game, but ads didn’t go away after purchase: I really enjoy this game - it’s fun and well-made. However, I made an in-app purchase because it says any purchase removes ads, but they’re still showing. I restarted, reinstalled, and logged back in, but nothing changed. I like the game and want to support it, but this feels misleading. Please fix this issue or clarify how to remove the ads.
[R103] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Lost my game: Lost my complete game after months of watching commercials to play and get somewhere in the game. Opened my phone to play one day and the game reset to a beginner stage and not with my name.
[R109] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Game started over.: Played the game for months. Last time a day or two ago. Now it shows a new game like the first time playing. All my game money gone. What happened.
[R112] Uboat Attack 1/5 · US Deleted my profile: The game just randomly deleted my profile after spending a couple weeks. Working my butt off getting ships leveled up. Complete waste of time, garbage game.
[R115] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Game crashes/restarts: I’m removing app after the third time screen goes to what looks like total fog then restarts loosing all gains and starts me as new player. I’ve contacted support, no response. Flushed 👎
