### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-04-19*

Not Galaxia kids growing up in the 80s will be expecting - avoid

**Developer response:** Hi, this is not Galaxian game but a game inspired by it. Please give the new version a try, and we hope you will like it. Thanks!

### 3/5 — GALAXIA

*2025-04-05*

某ゲームの宇宙人を倒すゲームですね。Apple Watchでもちゃんと動作しています♪

### 1/5 — Wrong and misleading info in description

*2023-09-03*

I bought this as part of a bundle after reading the description for each of the 5 games included. The description for this game says ‘use Digital Crown or swiping to move spaceship and fire.’ This is false. I don’t have an Apple Watch and play games on my iPhone, and Galaxia is actually a tilt or tap to move left/right controls. No swiping whatsoever. If I had known that I wouldn’t have bothered getting this.

### 1/5 — 初めの一回きり

*2023-06-15*

なぜか打てなくなった笑

### 2/5 — Help

*2022-06-12*

How do I install on Apple Watch?

**Developer response:** Go the watch app, and look for the app. Install.

### 1/5 — Ностальгия не удалась

*2022-01-16*

Долбанутое управление

### 3/5 — How do you control the sound?

*2022-01-10*

How can you turn off the sound when playing on Apple Watch?

**Developer response:** Hi, you can force touch the screen to enter menu. Or swipe up/down in title screen.

### 1/5 — Leider nervige Steuerung

*2022-01-10*

Leider nervige Steuerung.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-05-14*

If you deliberately set out to make an unplayable game with terrible controls you might just manage to make a game that is worse than this port
Edit in response to devs question:
Timing is everything on a game like this. However the loading and running of banner adverts causes massive lag on an iPad Pro connected to a network running at well over 200mbs

**Developer response:** Can you elaborate about control issue? Do you use Digital Crown (assuming playing on watch)? Let us know, thanks!

### 1/5 — Einfach nur Schrott

*2021-05-09*

Mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. Punkt. Und schon gelöscht !
