It's sort of similar in the setting. I went through eight levels because I was bored. There are no power ups. You get 1 life ups, but that's all I saw for the eight levels that I played. Game play is pretty easy. It's nothing exciting, but if this was the author's first game, then kudos to him/her. It's a great first start. Keep it up. ### 4/5 — 好玩 *2016-02-24* 这种阵型模式很新鲜，好玩，就是广告太多，每局结束都要点好几个广告，严重影响游戏体验，，虽然好玩，但还是想卸载了，受不了了。 ### 4/5 — Addictive and Nostalgic *2016-02-04, version 3.2* This game reminds me of arcade games I used to play back in college, can see it being very additive and a whole lot cheaper because don't need to feed quarters into a machine all the time. ### 4/5 — Great Change *2015-11-11, version 2.9* Still getting used to it but very smooth screen response and hopefully I can explore the levels even further. ### 5/5 — Demon Star *2014-02-02, version 1.9* This is a fun, and addictive game. ### 5/5 — 很好玩哦比较煊 *2013-11-29* 很不错的有戏 ### 5/5 — 不错就是广告多了 *2013-11-28* 不错，就是广告多了，正在玩着，突然弹个广告出来，又少了条命 ### 5/5 — 雷电 *2013-11-16* 游戏不错，更新通知可以少些 ### 5/5 — Mr James *2013-11-07, version 1.9* It's very good game.

Huge intrusive ad bar at the bottom during play also. ### 1/5 — hate it *2013-06-19, version 1.3* really lousy and ugly ### 1/5 — Boring *2013-06-09, version 1.3* I guess it's fun for people who were not around during the Atari/Nintendo days ### 1/5 — Bad screen orientation *2012-12-27* It is impossible to play since you can't see the bad guys coming because your finger gets in the way of the action, also you get interrupted with full screen ads during gameplay, a big fat BOO! ### 1/5 — Don't work *2012-09-22* Don't work with iOS 6 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2012-07-12* Laggy, boring, no exit button from gameplay. Nothing like demonstar. Do not recommend. Deleting. ### 2/5 — Average shooter *2013-06-20, version 1.3* Game is an okay shooter but not really my taste. iAds don't help and gets a little boring tbh ### 2/5 — Not bad *2013-06-12, version 1.3* It's alright, not bad. It's definitely not something to be excited about, but its alright. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 不错 *2017-11-06* 感觉像儿时玩 ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2017-07-27* 好玩 ### 5/5 — 好玩到天亮 *2017-04-23* 天天玩这个，太好玩了居然冲关了，哈哈哈哈哈哈…… ### 5/5 — 不怎么好 *2016-12-30* 先看看 ### 5/5 — Shaza *2016-07-16* Love the game get your mind working which I like figuring out which angles to shoot the other ships plus missing the bombs all the same time love it thanks for the game :)yay ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-11-01, version 2.9* Perfect ### 5/5 — 还行 *2015-10-21* 大锅饭见过的加工费吵过架发那个单刀赴会加工厂刚到家过分很过分 ### 5/5 — Demon star *2015-03-31* This is a Great Game, my first time playing it and I can't stop trying to beat it. Keep up the Good work Guys. ### 5/5 — 好 *2014-09-22* 不错已经发送了、看看有没有验证代码 ### 5/5 — Reminiscent *2014-08-23* While playing, I half-expected to see quarters rack up underneath the right corner of the screen as other video arcade junkies waited for their turn. Yeah, I just dated myself, but I miss simple 2-D shoot-em-ups like this (see Xevious or Galaga). It's a guarantee you could correlate the number of stars people rate this game directly to their age. I've DL'd my share of games out of the App Store. This is one of the few keepers. Enough talk already, I gotta get past Level 3. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
