### 3/5 — Good but no sound

*2023-04-18*

Not sure where to submit a bug report, but the game is good because it’s Dodonpachi. However, I assume the lack of sound is not intended. Adjusting the settings does nothing.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2022-12-26, version 1.0.0*

It’s ok. Horrible frame rates and it runs windowed so you don’t get to take up you’re whole screen. Technical problems throughout. But it’s ok if you need that fix.

### 3/5 — It lags

*2022-02-20, version 1.0.0*

I remember playing this on my iPhone 3 over a decade ago and it ran fine. But now playing this on my iPhone 13 Pro and it lags? Something’s not right.

### 4/5 — Controller Support Please

*2022-01-09, version 1.0.0*

Control support please

### 2/5 — Rehash

*2021-10-05, version 1.0.0*

A ten year old shmup isn't what people sign up for. Perhaps a new game would be great but this one is stale

### 3/5 — Lag & Slow down

*2021-09-20, version 1.0.0*

It’s not a bad game…but not great either.
I use an M1 iPad Pro and even still the game lags and slows way down…I expect more from a game such as this.

### 2/5 — Too busy, no controller support

*2021-09-05, version 1.0.0*

There are so many effects, numbers, enemies, bullets, you can tell what’s going on.  Also, no controller support.

### 4/5 — Absorbing Throw Back

*2021-09-02, version 1.0.0*

I’m just trying to figure out what the app is doing with 1 gig of memory?

### 5/5 — So glad to see cave on Arcade!

*2021-08-29, version 1.0.0*

Great decision for a game, hope apple can continue to diversify

### 5/5 — Yup just the type of game I’be been waiting for!

*2021-08-27, version 1.0.0*

I love me some Phoenix 2 but tired of the micro transactions, this easily fills that spot. Hoping more games like this come out.

### 1/5 — Really…

*2023-01-22, version 1.0.0*

I’m about to finish the first boss fight with 1000 combo, perfect run and the game crashes. What a waste of time, glad I didn’t buy this game.

### 1/5 — Terrible port

*2022-02-16, version 1.0.0*

This was ported over using a $99 kit. The play area is 1/2 the screen - 1/4 of the top is useless blank space and 1/4 of the bottom is useless blank space. At least allow the bottom area for controlling the ship?  Instead, my finger takes up the majority of the screen making this game unplayable. Very disappointing, but typical of rushed ports I find in Apple Arcade.

### 1/5 — No controller support!

*2021-12-13, version 1.0.0*

The lack of controller support in a game like this is bananas.

### 1/5 — Won’t run on my 2021 iPad Pro 12.9”

*2021-10-07, version 1.0.0*

I’ve 512gb of memory and this brand new iPad and it crashes.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-10-02, version 1.0.0*

My game is constantly crashing in the middle of it and idk why, I’m playing on a 12 pro max I don’t get how there can even be a problem. I love this game but the crashes make me have to give it 1 star till it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — Can’t Play, Crashes Constantly

*2021-09-24, version 1.0.0*

I am unable to play because the game decides to crash to home screen every time I attempt to load into the first mission. Using an iPhone 12 Mini 256gb.

### 1/5 — Crashy :(

*2021-09-04, version 1.0.0*

I was super excited for this, but it's crashed 3 times before I can finish the first level. I'm on a 12 pro plus.

### 1/5 — Crashed before game starts

*2021-08-28, version 1.0.0*

Game crashed right after the tutorial, and now it won’t load at all. Great job everyone…

### 1/5 — Apple has given up

*2021-08-28, version 1.0.0*

Remember when Apple Arcade had standards? What is this garbage, and how has Apple allowed this (and some other recent titles) to slip through both the cracks in the App Store, but the premium Apple Arcade as well! 

This is not what we’re paying for. The game is from what, 2008? The game only fits on our screens because they have letterboxed the top and bottom instead of putting any effort into anything more than “copy and paste.” 

No idea how this snuck through quality control, but I’m seriously starting to question the value from Apple Arcade, as are many others (read the forums!) so if this is your thing, have fun, but I’ve found myself going back to premium paid titles in the normal App Store instead of Arcade.

### 2/5 — Mediocre

*2024-04-27*

I REALLY want to like this game, but have experienced such horrendous slow down to the point it’s almost unplayable. 

Weird game crashes while playing levels as well, the screen will go black, but the borders are still visible. 

If this stuff is fixed 5 stars for sure!

### 5/5 — A classic and the main reason I got Apple Arcade

*2024-03-25*

That’s all

### 5/5 — I have a life

*2022-06-28, version 1.0.0*

I have a life

### 5/5 — Needs controller support

*2021-10-07, version 1.0.0*

Onegaishimasu!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-10-04, version 1.0.0*

Controls well, looks like the arcade game… so glad I can play it. This is for those gamers that like jpn games

### 5/5 — Captain

*2021-09-09, version 1.0.0*

CAVE Maaaaaaaaaaan! 

Thankful & greatful of this port & like others said  it is not perfect from playing the actual Arcade versions this is needed to wake up new fans for our beloved genre. I am included with those of us that try to get others to join us in a subscription to have major Mobile Videogaming fun😃especially for this genre. We need a Shmup & Bullet Heaven(shout out to the Studio Mudprints L❤️vebirds) category here like yesterday, 4realz! It is so crisp & clean for the graphics and smooth relative controls. Since this is a beautiful surprise I am sure CAVE will one day soon open back up their whole catalog for us. I need those Bug Princesses
🐞🐜🪲🐛🐝. I highly recommend this Funtaztic Shmup. I & other fans support & believe in you CAVE. Thankz for this Yo!

                    👾🤖🎃SHMUPZ🎮🕹🔊

### 5/5 — OMG it’s Donpachi!!!!

*2021-09-03, version 1.0.0*

I can’t believe I woke up to find this!! Donpachi is one of my favorite game series of all time. I can’t believe there’s a game in Apple Arcade now, more Cave shmups PLEASE!!

### 5/5 — More CAVE on Arcade!

*2021-09-03, version 1.0.0*

I really hope and pray they bring more over and usher in a slight renaissance for Cave shmups.

I just want them to have incentive to make ESP Galuda 2 available on 64bit IOS

### 5/5 — CAVE comes to Apple Arcade!

*2021-08-31, version 1.0.0*

I was pleasantly surprised to see this in Apple Arcade. If you’re a fan of the genre then you’re probably already familiar with this game. If you play other mobile shmups and haven’t tried this then download immediately. Although not as good as playing in an actual arcade this is a good port. A lot of fun with great replay ability trying to beat your own and others high scores.  Hopefully people play this and as a result more CAVE games get added. Highly recommend all to give this game a shot.

### 5/5 — Good work, now add more games like this.

*2021-08-31, version 1.0.0*

This game has always been hot. Thank you for making it immortal through Apple Arcade… quality game.

### 5/5 — The mommy milkers on the transformer

*2021-08-29, version 1.0.0*

They are so big and fat
