Reception
Metacritic, a review aggregator, rated the iOS version 57/100 based on five reviews. Though Pocket Gamer criticized the game's graphics and real-money upgrades, they called it "still super enjoyable in an effervescent, wholly disposable sort of a way". Brittany Vincent of Gamezebo rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that Kill Shot many upgrades are fun at first, but it soon becomes repetitive and reliant on microtransactions. Jennifer Allen of 148apps.com rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "Kill Shot is often satisfying, but its more than pushy in-app purchases will leave you feeling a little bummed."
