Played Several Times

Played through this game several times and I absolutely love it! Great visuals, cute little story, has lots of replayability. Not sure why others are complaining about the controls, I found them really nice. Very recommended!

The Last Rocket is easily one of the best games to come around in a while. It's got an outstanding retro feel but is perfectly optimized for iOS. This one deserves to be at the top of the charts.
Well done

Great design, ramps up nicely. Note it is VERY EASY to accidentally delete your progress, an "are you sure?" confirmation might be a good idea. Also. Would like to be able to jump back to certain levels.
Game is perfectly responsive but still hard

I like this game fine. It is perfectly responsive to taps, but you have to let go of the tap, and that makes it really challenging. When your tap is most important, you tap harder reflexively, but that makes the tap take longer overall. I'm also stuck on 7-7, but every time I die I realize I'm still squeezing the screen.
Cool game, but not $3 cool...

I like the game but 3 dollars seems a bit steep for this kind of game
A lot of potential, but still some room for improvement
Ross Kimes
This game is very well done and is addicting. The only gameplay issue is that the controls are a little slow sometime, so some more responsiveness there would be nice. Adding Game Center is needed too. With those it would be a 5 star app for sure.
Best game for iPhone this year
Crash-up
Can't recommend it enough. If you're nostalgic for the classic games of the NES era, this is well worth the money.
Simply awesome!

Once you figure out the play mechanics, which can take some getting used to, this game is a ton of fun. The price may seem a little steep for a 2meg game...but what you get is well worth it.
