Inspired by the hilarious new children's book, My Brother is a Superhero, written by David Solomons and published by Nosy Crow.
About the book:
Luke is a comic-mad eleven-year-old who shares a treehouse with his geeky older brother, Zach. Luke's only mistake is to need a wee right at the wrong moment. While he's gone an alien gives his undeserving, never-read-a-comic-in-his-life brother superpowers, then tells him to save the universe. Luke is massively annoyed about this, but when Zach is kidnapped by his arch-nemesis, Luke and his friends only have five days to find him and save the world...
Super-exciting, laugh-out-loud funny, and with enough heart to fill an entire galaxy, this is perfect for fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce. David Solomons is a meteoric new voice in children's fiction.

Too easy
1Dollop
I don't know what guys are complaining about, I got 38 as a score on my 4th try. So easy, complaining over nothing.
Next Flappy Bird?

At first, I didn't seem to understand the appeal of the game. I consistently failed before I even blocked ten asteroids. At a certain point, however, it clicked and I was able to play the game on a much cleaner, more rewarding level. The game itself lends itself to classic arcade sensibilities while providing an experience that is both short and repayable and perfectly suited for smartphones.
Amazing not 1 problem

Simple to play but challenging I think it is a little to hard for 8 year olds though.
Flappy bird in space???

This is just a downright awful game to be honest. You drag circles onto the screen and hope the earth won't explode it would be a better game if there were more than 1 lives. If the earth had a shield that can protect from 1 hit will make you be able to enjoy it for longer amount of time
Give it a chance

Anybody who writes a bad review probably didn't give the game a chance. The idea is to block asteroids, and it does get pretty intense. At first, you have no clue what you're doing, but soon it clicks (purple blocks, red destroys, green blows up a large area) and, before you know it, you're getting 30+ points. It really is a thrill when you finally "get it". Give it a try! :)
Frustrating

Game is not very fun at all. Very frustrating and not easy. I deleted it pretty quickly
