Reviews of R

A potentially good port spoilt by poor touch controls

R-Type II is a good arcade game, but this mobile version is mediocre for one important reason: controls. The game offers either touch controls or a D-pad. The D-pad is terrible because the buttons are too far apart, and the touch controls are laughable. You can zip around at any speed you want, destroying the point of the speed-up powerup, and it also just feels awful. And the worst thing is that this was such an easy game to create a good iOS port for, but they still managed to fail.

Please Fix It

R-Type Final 2 got released and you haven't given us an update on fixing the controls. They are all over the place completely unplayable.
