### 5/5 — 벌레공주1,2 64비트 어플로 업데이트부탁합니다

*2026-07-16*

벌레공주 시리즈1,2도 유료결제했고 재밌게 플레이했었는데 돈파치 시리즈들이나 데스스마일은 업데이트 해줘서 플레이가 가능하고 벌레공주는 왜 안해줍니까 꼭좀 업데이트나 아니면 HD버전으로 재출시 부탁합니다
에스푸가루다도 다시 나오면 좋겠어요

### 5/5 — 고대전설 갓겜 유치원때 했던 전설게임

*2025-10-02*

우리 아빠가 이게임을 해서 재밌게 했다. 생각보다. 매우 감동스럽다 내 어린시절이 너무나도 그립다. 평가:전설 갓겜

### 5/5 — pls

*2025-03-23*

どうか上と下のレターボックスが見えないようにしてください 可視性があまりにも落ちて回避起動に致命的です

### 5/5 — Quality Shooting

*2025-02-12*

Happy to report this classic title can work on modern hardware in the latest update. Godspeed CAVE devs.

### 5/5 — Juegaso, Totalmente recomendado

*2024-12-06, version 1.1.4*

Bullet hell bastante amigable, con mucho contenido y misiones para completar, hasta tiene contenido oculto.

  Lo recomiendo sobretodo para los novatos en el género ya que esta muy bien equilibrado en dificultad.

  y para los más experimentados se toparán con un verdadero reto en los últimos niveles(no imposible) y en los ocultos.

 Como detalle genial si conoces las franquicias de Cave verás que esto es una especie de crossover, reconocerás naves, enemigos, temas, patrones de ataques,etc.

 Joya del shoot em up, espero nunca desapareza de la Store, 10/10 ✌️

### 5/5 — 업데이트 감사합니다

*2024-11-14*

출퇴근길 즐기고  있습니다. 최근 IOS업데이트 이후 화면이 깨져 포기하고 있었는데 업데이트 이후 문제가 없네요. 감사해요..

### 5/5 — 不帰になる前に知って良かった大往生

*2024-11-14*

クレジットを気にせず心地良い音楽と爽快な弾幕系シューティングをプレイできるiPad的パラダイス。ステージ毎にノーミス狙える手軽さとかカワイイ自機が増えたり楽しいし、EASYモードやSPラウンドなど(ユーザーが好む設定が全く無いカラフルな名前の特異なボムゲームと違って)ホントにユーザーを「楽します」のが上手い。それに「これぞ弾幕系」って感じの弾道やバラマキ加減が秀逸。iOS18なので全てに四角い縁取りがあって遊びづらかったけど、最新アップデートで解消されて超嬉しい！未確認飛行物体だらけだったので完全対峙が凄く新鮮、コレで5-Eのクルクルに挑めます。過去・現在のシューティング環境の変化に驚嘆し、日常に弾幕の夢で目覚めるシアワセ、私のような人って多そうだから知ったら皆同じようにハマるはずなのでアップデートに大感謝！最近始めて昼夜しどろもどろなポケっとしたカードゲームの拡張パック待ち時間にも欠かせない。どれもこれも懐かしいのに新しい、日進月歩的ルネサンスゲームが面白すぎる。

### 4/5 — バグ

*2024-10-17*

ios18にしてから画面がバグっています。
早めの対応希望です。

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-10-14*

Broken on Iphone 14. The graphics are all glitched up, you can’t see most things..

### 5/5 — Non si visualizza in dettaglio su ipad mini 2024

Non si visualizza in dettaglio su ipad mini 2024
