I finally installed a phone jack on it so the family could get a little peace and quite. My sons are all grown now with families of their own. But we can relive those days playing space invaders on our iPads. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-06-01, version 3.01* Graphics/sounds are awesome 👍🏻👍🏻 it does feel like a retro game. I have an iphone 11 and i find it kinda difficult to move to the lefr side, other than that good stuff 5/5 ### 5/5 — Wow *2020-04-03* Took me back to my childhood ! **Developer response:** Thank you much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2020-02-22* Since theses games are getting expensive and hart to find, this is a good chance to play them! Thanks! **Developer response:** Thank you too! Cheers ### 5/5 — Galaxy Invader - Back To The 80’s *2019-12-30* School Playground arcade action! Straight back to the 80’s. Whether you’re Retro, or simply looking to fulfil childhood memories that won’t leave you short of pocket money. Another classic build from the team that brought you ‘Astro Wars’ - it’s almost as if you can feel the original in the palm of your hands. Looks fantastic, plays amazingly! Worthy of the pound notes in your Nat West Piggy Bank! **Developer response:** Sorry for delay in responding. Much appreciated and glad you like it. Cheers ### 5/5 — Spectacular ! *2019-12-25* I actually had one that was given to me when I was a kid and I still have it complete with box and it’s fully working. This app is just like it and I have really enjoyed it as! ### 5/5 — Awesomely Retro *2019-11-30* Exactly as I remember it. I love this app. **Developer response:** Thank you, glad you are enjoying it like I used to. Much appreciated. ### 5/5 — Blast from the past *2019-10-03* Brings back memories of playing the handheld game as a kid ### 5/5 — Excellent ! *2019-09-29* O have the Super Galaxy II tabletop electronic game and this iOS version of this kind of LCD marvels is really great, feeling almost the same. Very good job Mister Wilmot ! **Developer response:** Thank you. That means a lot. Have a great day. ### 5/5 — 素晴らしいゲーム Very Nice game *2019-08-08* 昔のLCDゲームです。 それがとても楽しい。 全ての点で優れています。 操作も不具合などありません。 It is an old LCD game. That is so much fun. Excellent in all respects. The operation also reacted well. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent Replication *2019-06-15* You won't get nearer to the real game than this without having the physical item! Even the flickering of the display shows just like the real game. **Developer response:** Much appreciated. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Faithful reproduction *2018-11-25* If you had an original Galaxy Invader 1000 like I did, you’re going to love this. A perfect reproduction. Well done! **Developer response:** This means a lot. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great nostalgia - Shame about lag *2018-03-18* Fantastic simulation of the handheld 80's game. Would be even better if the lag can be sorted out, there seems to be a delay with the left slider, fails to respond sometime, which does disrupt the game - please sort this out. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-02-03* Very faithful recreation of a classic. Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2019-11-27* How can I get my money back...it’s a rip-off **Developer response:** What is your problem with it? ### 2/5 — galaxy invader 1000 *2021-04-25, version 3.01* dont purchase if you own a 10r iphone. game doesnt fit properly in the display. makes it hard to play. please fix this as its a great we game otherwise.... ### 2/5 — Wanted to rate it higher *2020-05-26* The sound is great, does bring back those memories but not much fun playing it on a XS Max as for some reason the oversized ratio means the playing image goes beyond the screen with the left hand rudder too far much to the left and consequently hard for the app to pick up. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Good ol’ memories *2022-11-26* Juste à little haptic feedback would be great to better feel the joystick ### 3/5 — Faithful.. But.. *2014-04-22* Absolutely looks the part (aside from the Social media decals across the top - would like an option to remove in a update if poss), my only gripe is that the sound doesn't appear to be working - which, for me, is a very important part of the emulation experience. If these things get sorted then it gets 5 stars. ### 3/5 — 懐かしい！ *2013-07-06* 2000やりたい☆ ### 4/5 — Good replica of my favourite portable electronic game. *2025-08-31* It is a fun Space Shooter. I am satisfied. I have the original game from the 1980’s and take it everywhere. This is a good backup. ### 4/5 — Childhood Favourite *2021-12-05* This game brought back childhood memories. It’s great. The only downside to the game is that it takes up the entire screen. I use iPhone XR. The left hand joystick is a bit tricky to work; due to being so far to the left of screen. Otherwise, it’s an amazing game. ### 5/5 — Fantastic memories! *2026-01-05* I’m so excited to have found this game. I’ve got photos of me and both my sisters playing this game nearly 40 years ago. I played this game for years when I was a kid. Talk about unlocking a memory! ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas in July? *2025-07-21* I can’t believe someone actually created an ambulation for an actual electronic game of the 1970s/80s. Whoever you are, please oh please make more emulations of other games! I will say that the controls are a bit hard to grasp using a touchscreen, but I guess I’ll have to get a controller to fix that, however, I’m giving it five stars plus plus plus because this is exactly the kind of thing we need in this new digital age. Please let make other emulations of other games and here’s a challenge for you, if you can find an old Merlin or a master Merlin, I would just absolutely love it if you’ve made an emulation for that as well, You might want to try Simon before moving onto other games as that’s probably the easiest thing to emulate. And again, excellent I can’t say it enough very very excellent work! you should also know that I’m a person with multiple disabilities and this more than helps with managing my disabilities thank you for helping out people that have multiple disabilities. This is so needed now! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2023-03-17* 5/5 game/app. The sound, graphics, controls everything is exactly like the old handheld. I was looking at your other apps and its Amazing what you do, keep retro alive my friend👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Galaxy Invader 1000!! *2022-11-10* Super cool!! Love it!!! ### 5/5 — 80’s all over again! *2022-07-17* This app is amazing! Loved this game back in the day & this is great to play . Takes me right back to my childhood! Love it! 👌 ### 5/5 — Brings back memories *2022-05-11, version 3.01* Really nice piece of nostalgia. There was a third version, Galaxy Invader 10000 I think, and I’m hoping someone brings it IOS in the near future. ### 5/5 — Just like the original *2022-04-30* Same sounds, look, & game play as the original handheld. The left to right toggle takes a little getting used to playing on a phone but you’ll be a pro at it in no time ### 5/5 — Epic Throwback *2022-01-16* This has took me back to my childhood, and while I wait for the real thing to be delivered I’ll be happy to play it over and over again ### 5/5 — 👾👾 *2021-10-29* Just like the original,all that's missing is the cheap plastic & the spaceships fading when the batteries were running out!! Well done absolute perfection!! 10/10 Blast from a Christmas morning past..way back in the early 80’s 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Game *2020-10-10* Great stuff! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
