### 5/5 — Old School Excitement

*2016-05-08, version 1.0*

Cool!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-02-18, version 1.0*

I love this game but it is not good on the iPad.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2013-04-18, version 1.0*

Wish you could save a game though.

### 2/5 — Bland sauce

*2013-04-08, version 1.0*

Weak Xevious clone...starts with a difficulty appropriate for a six year old and restarts you there after game over.  Every time.  Every.  Time.  Always hated "the one bullet and your whole ship blows up" thing.  Graphics are unattractive, and, how does the ice map happen right after the desert map?  Did we have some sort of time lapse there?  Because it looks like we just flew directly from the tropics to a polar region.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2013-03-31*

This game is terrible!!! The controls are pathetic and constantly ignore your input. Had a few goes at it and am already inside the top 100 in the world, awful game. Could have been much better with better controls. Trust me, do not download this crap. It's too annoying.

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2013-01-12, version 1.0*

Fantastic game

### 2/5 — Ok if free but.....

*2012-12-28, version 1.0*

Six levels only is fine if its free, but you don't get any more if you spend the $1.99 to get rid of the advertising. So that puts it into the rip off category. Caveat emptor.

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2012-07-05, version 1.0*

Excellent game! Old school style that harkens back yo my youth. My kids love it and we have a great time playing it together (taking turns). Job nicely done! :-)

### 5/5 — IMFSystems

*2012-03-05, version 1.0*

Love the game ... As others have said it is old school ,,, but addictive and presents challenges that grow exponentially with time.

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2012-03-01, version 1.0*

Good, old school game.
