Pros and cons of Captain Cowboy app for iPhone and iPad

Captain Cowboy app good for

This is a really special game. A real gem. Theres so much exploration and so many neat little features, hidden messages, addicting soundtrack, and excellent execution and mechanics. Give it a go, experience something that was lost in time, now found.
If you like trekking through a vast pixelated space universe, obsessively collecting shiny things for hundreds of hours, then this game is for you.

Some bad moments

Intuitive controls, pretty retro graphics and great music and sounds.
The gameplay is simple. The puzzle aspect of figuring out the maze is not! But its a lot of fun. The mechanics are simple and the graphics and music are just fantastic. Its retro gaming done right. To be honest I have enough retro style games that give a similar experience but I really like how these guys are against the freemium BS that permeates the App Store these days. Also the trailer for this game is hilarious. 2.99 is chump change to pay to a team of guys trying to set the mobile gaming platform right. Thanks for a colorful, fun, super sweet retro experience guys.
Fun game, love the retro CRT screen art style. Just wish it had an option an for traditional up/down/left/right buttons in the bottom left corner of the screen rather than having to swipe to change directions.
I really enjoy playing this game. I love the old crt feel of it. The maze is huge, with many ways of getting from point A to Z. Each room has its own mind bender of how to beat it. I really enjoy these types of games. I have yet to beat it, which leads me to the bugs. Ive seen random Captain Cowboys appear on screen that move when I move ( mimicking my movement exactly). I also had a different piece of the map appear out of sequence, meaning The overview map didnt match actual screen. I was forced to restart my game from this point and I was 1000 diamonds in. Lastly, Ive quit by accident quite easily. There should be a warning saying by you are about to quit. That would have saved me headache.
