Very nice controls, really cool retro graphics and progressively more difficult levels to make it not boring. Only complaint would be the ties are hard to hit when they are so fast and small but that kinda makes it more fun.

I have fond memories of the game from 1983 or 84. The graphics were very similar but the audio apparently can't come close due to copywrite laws.

Close to absolute perfection for me. But the controls get in the way. Rather than a virtual joypad you just touch where you want to shout. This means you literally see nothing of the action. Just your finger and your points going up. With a virtual joystick this would be the best game on my phone! (the controls menu doesnt work at all. Just sticks on loading but maybe if that works then you can adjust it?) great job otherwise.

Great remake of the original but controlling movement with a finger on the screen does not replicate well the gameplay of the original. It would be much better if it used the tilt to move the cursor (and touch to fire). The hand would not be blocking the screen and would feel more like controlling a ship in flight. Also, I remember the levels lasting longer in the original game. In this game they end just as I am getting into it.

This is an interesting idea because I used to love this game as a kid, playing it at the arcade. The control system is what I have a problem with here. If my finger has to be right on the firing crosshair then I can't see what I'm shooting and I'm missing most of the action. As other people have suggested, I would go with a tilting flight control and a finger/thumb control in the corner of the screen for firing. Unless and until this is updated I think I'll uninstall it.

UPDATE REVIEW: 05.27.2020. A.D. GREAT GAME. VERY ADDICTIVE. very unstable crashing a lot lately. Says the the "app has stopped". Wonder why? P.S. The graphics could definately use an upgrade ty.
