No control
Game is horrible! Can’t control the ship and only shoots on the right.
Response from developer
NEW Version 2.1 👾🕹 with GamePad support 👏🏻👏🏻
Great
This is a faithful recreation of the arcade classic I played as a teenager. The only thing missing is the points flashing up when the high scoring ship is hit.

The game
Not bad for price , sounds and looks like as I remember it but the downside is the virtual joystick it’s not very responsive but the fire button is good
It doesn’t work
Downloaded on the latest IPad and you can’t see your spaceship or the top layer of aliens and there doesn’t seem to be anyway of adjusting the screen display size. The left right control is pretty poor too.
Could be better
I grew up acing this game (always loved galaxian)
Couple of issues:
1. Joystick control in IN the play field so if you maneuver your ship a lot (you’ll find the ship going underneath your joystick finger and then you loose line of sight with ship and the bombs coming down in that corner)
2. Joystick control is a bit sluggish (playing on 6s). I think it’s a greater factor when trying to quickly dodge left and right between heavy fire and just can’t get the response speed)
Suggestions:
Sacrifice .25 inches of the bottom screen for the control area (allows for a wider joystick area and shooting without blocking your own view of the battle)
Maybe tie into the motion sensor of the phone so slight tilting facilitated movement ?

No options?
Is there a way to mute the sound??
Rubbish
Rubbish plenty of better versions of this classic out there. Don't wast your time on this one.
Terrible don't buy
This is the hardest game ever it makes the real game a shame thumbs down
All. Thumbs
Game looks good but your thumbs block your view. Please put small strip on bottom of screen where thumbs can pan back and forth without being in the playing area then game would go from unplayable to just like arcade version.
Okay, but could be better...
First of all, the controls are kinda bad, but it is still pretty fun. I only got to level 2 once. It is still a good game and it's fun to try to get to level 2.
