### 1/5 — Hard

*2026-01-23*

Super hard

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-10-29*

Small screen, spaceship engine is always on, one life…. Nothing like the retro original.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry this didn't meet your expectations. I made this as a Watch game with the Crown as the only input - which is why the engine is always on and it auto-shoots. But I can see the opportunity for an iPhone mode that matches the arcade original!

### 5/5 — 単純明快

*2024-08-20*

単純だけど　はまります

**Developer response:** 優しいお言葉をありがとうございます

### 3/5 — 良い暇つぶしです

*2023-04-25*

ハイスコアを狙っていると面白いゲームです。ただ、いつの頃からかApple Watch上でスコアを確認しようとしても「Daily Leaderboard Error loading scores」というメッセージが出て表示されません。
Apple Watch シリーズ５だからでしょうか？

**Developer response:** 遊んでくれてありがとう。 残念ながら、watchOS は GameCenter とうまく連携せず、常に接続するとは限りません。 新しいwatchOSの更新で修正されることを期待して、この機能を残しました! 願わくば、次の watchOS アップデートが再び機能することを願っていますか?

### 1/5 — 操作性

*2020-08-20*

とても厄介です。慣れるまで時間がかかりそうです。その前に飽きる可能性が高いと思います

**Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます。退屈だと思わなかった場合は、レビューを更新してください。

### 1/5 — Gave 1 star because after 4 requests for a review in 30 seconds

*2020-08-19*

Gave 1 star because of 4 requests for a review in 30 seconds... just a tad ridiculous!

**Developer response:** This was a bug - apologies for that.  I have just submitted a fix! Please try again when the update is out and if you like the game feel free to re-rate it :-)

### 5/5 — Klasse Spiel für die AppleWatch

*2020-02-25*

Ob iPhone oder AppleWatch - das Spiel macht echt Spaß und der neue Look ist auch gelungen! Super!

### 5/5 — takes me back to 1979 when i was the asteroid champ

*2020-01-28*
