### 5/5 — I like this game

*2026-01-10*

This game you can defend it. Like I attack the red enemies. The red planet is a large circle. Don’t touch the red enemies. You want to be safe. And you will get destroyed by enemies. You can defend it yourself. When you safe and alert.

### 5/5 — A wonderful game

*2024-07-24*

I like simple games. I miss many of the original iPhone games that were very playable. This is a smooth and beautifullly designed shooter!

### 5/5 — Awesome on my mini 6

*2024-06-02*

Played this YYYEEEAAAARRRSSSS ago. Am shocked it’s still around AND calibrated to newer modeled ios devices. Awesome game.

### 5/5 — Still Great

*2024-04-20*

I got this maybe 10 years ago and had to rebuy it a few days ago because I had the itch. Totally worth it. Sort of a modern day Galaga. Love the colors and nothing is more satisfying than having a fully loaded ship and mowing down cores for 30 minutes or so. Still need to play the other games in the series, but I have just stayed loyal to this one. Well done. Keep making games.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2019-10-24*

So fun it's one of my most played games in about 2 pages(of games)
I've played this or a while and in infinity, my highest score was 3 million!!

EDIT: wow... I used to play this game all the time about FIVE years ago, and I can’t believe it’s still in the App Store and is supported on the newest iPhone! The review from my 13 year old self is still here ^^^

**Developer response:** Thanks for being a super fan! We're rolling out updates across the line, fixing leaderboards and adding iPad support where we can. Enjoy!

### 3/5 — Very good, but still problems

*2018-10-29*

I really like this game, the gameplay is fun, it’s not too easy but not too hard, but! I’m still affected by the score submission glitch so until that’s fixed I’ll only be giving 3 stars.

**Developer response:** Score submission should be fixed in the latest version. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Very intuitive!

*2016-03-13*

Very simple yet elegant game. Perfect for on the go but veritable enough to keep you hooked with upgrades that actually matter!

### 5/5 — Hopeful

*2016-02-18, version 1.2.0*

This was the first game i ever bought through itunes.  I am happy that the game has received an update, after being dormant for soo long.  It is great, and i still play it to this day.

### 5/5 — Classic shmup

*2015-03-15*

Still a classic shooter, as much about holding back than attacking.

### 4/5 — Love this original shooter

*2014-07-17*

Great game, unique and fun!
