### 3/5 — We forgot to update the app

*2022-05-13*

can we support the iPhone X?

### 2/5 — Very disappointing from devs of Phoenix 2

*2021-10-05*

Zero challenge and levels were basically repeats of each other. I love the game Phoenix 2 from the same developers but this game really lacks content worth playing it for. 
You can upgrade your ships weapons but why? If I can beat the level already why would I need to upgrade? Levels take too long because it's so slow. Not worth the 99 cents unfortunately

### 5/5 — Nice piece of history

*2020-02-25*

### 3/5 — Tolles Spiel

### 5/5 — excellent

*2018-03-17*

bon shooter. mérite d'être connu! testé sur ipad 2017 IOS 10.3

### 5/5 — Wie in der Arcade

*2017-11-25*

Geiles Ballerspiel. Wie früher in der Arcade, 90er Technobeats, das Spiel ist einfach und macht Spaß. Vor allem, keine Lootboxen oder in App Käufe.

### 5/5 — Still great!

*2017-06-10*

Still a good game. Worth a play.

### 1/5 — Crap game

*2013-10-18*

Stay away

### 2/5 — 古い？

*2013-01-12*

横方向と縦方向を2点のボタンで操作するのだが、正直やりづらい。

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2011-09-18*

Das Spiel an sich ist Klasse und an die Steuerung gewöhnt man sich auch ;)

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2017-02-01

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

The first ever update for Flare Elite! Originally released 7 years ago and running on every iOS device ever made, this update adds support for 64-bit devices and larger screen resolutions.

We also updated the control scheme to match the one used in Phoenix HD and Phoenix II, increased the frame rate to 60FPS and improved the texture quality of certain textures that were particularly bad in the day. Everything else is unchanged, the gameplay is as action packed and merciless as it was before. Enjoy.
