### 2/5 — Schade !!!!

*2022-11-19*

So ein schönes altes Spiel! 
Leider fehlt die Information, das die Steuerung so gut wie gar nicht funtioniert.
Die 2,49 € hätte ich auch in den Müll werfen können !!!

### 2/5 — 操作方法がわからない

*2022-03-02*

せっかく250円出して買ったのに遊び方がわからない。
遊び方がわかったら再評価します。

### 1/5 — Kevin

*2021-12-18*

Long time player of Asteroid’s, this has no left/right rotate control it is therefore useless for gameplay, don’t buy unless they fix this.

### 1/5 — Controls

*2021-11-29*

How you go into options

### 1/5 — Nullissime

*2020-12-29*

Totalement injouable, pour faire tourner le vaisseau il faut tapoter vers l’angle où l’on veux tirer. Aucune possibilité de le faire tourner sans tirer, ni même qu’il pivote tout simplement à la manière d’une aiguille de montre. Nul, n’achetez pas vous serez déçu, c’est vraiment se fiche des acheteurs.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2020-11-15*

I feel ripped off now. While a faithful recreation it is utterly unplayable. I’ve bought 2 bundles and all games are unplayable. Seeing as this is 3 years old I’m not holding my breath for updates. Apple should ban this app developer form the App Store as these “games” are clearly designed to take your money and not give you what you paid for.

### 2/5 — Love retro

*2020-09-11*

Sorry, it’s very hard to control.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2020-06-12*

Terrible controls and game play.  Who ever gave it a good review are lies.

### 2/5 — Spoiled by awful controls

*2018-10-19*

This might well be a good recreation of a classic game but the control scheme makes it almost unplayable. I bought this as part of a bundle and, like the other games in that bundle, It really needs support for MFi compliant game controllers; I have one but sadly it is ignored. I think, with a separate game controller, (plus maybe a rethink of the touch controls) it could be everything I’d want it to be, but until that happens it is, for me, disappointing. (I’ll happily update my review or post a new one if updates as I’ve described come along, as it could be so good.)

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2018-06-30*

Can’t control the ship the only thing that works is the fire button
