The game itself is enjoyable and the touch controls do the job. It's nice to be able to purchase the game upfront and not have to deal with a million in-app-purchases. On the downside, the emulator seems to skip frames on a regular basis, which causes the game to feel choppy compared to how it originally played. The app hasn't been updated in years so I wouldn't expect a fix.

GOOD Game, is it possible to have a wide range of Bluetooth support for controllers.

Excellent port of an excellent shmup. Great with touchscreen and also using a controller (I use a Xbox One).

One of the best shmups in existence! The new "Remix" mode doesn't mix anything in the game at all but it freshens things up by removing movement limits: you control your ship like using a laptop trackpad to control the mouse cursor. It's OP but super satisfying! Just one problem: The music volume ducks when SFX play. Bummer, the music here is OST-worthy.

This is a fantastic port of a classic bullet hell arcade shooter, with original mechanics intact and new ones built into a remix mode. Graphics are crisp in the standard resolution but are a bit fuzzy in zoomed resolution. You can choose any stage you want and any difficulty, perfect for practice if you are new to the bullet hell genre. Only problem, game started freezing up at startup every single time, emitting a static noise. Nothing I did fixed it until I uninstalled and reinstalled.

It started off pretty good until the game started lagging. As more and more enemies start spawning on screen, the game can game can barely keep up. The controls start lagging, and you stay stuck in place while enemies can easily take you out.
