### 4/5 — 흠…

*2026-02-06*

아쉬운 조작감이랑 아쉬운 난이도…

### 1/5 — Controls

*2026-01-07, version 1.1.1*

The joystick needs to be bigger to do input motions. Its too small or please make it more adjustable.

### 2/5 — No optimizado

*2025-08-17, version 1.1.1*

Se trabaja y tiene bugs en el sonido se traba igual juego va lento. iPhone 13 Pro Max

### 5/5 — It’s amazing

*2025-08-07, version 1.1.1*

Just fix the super buttons not working I pressed them and they didn’t work and fix the button placement when I launched the app the select button wasn’t working cause it was high up and it wasn’t registering me pressing it

### 1/5 — アップデートしてほしい

*2025-04-13*

ボタン小さくなったって操作なんかまともにできない。

アケアカ出すよりこっち修正して欲しかった。
こっちはトレモついてるからアケアカより良いのに。

これまだ販売してるんでしょ？
製品なんでしょ？
普通に顧客のこと舐めてるように見えるよ。
最近のこういうのが多いよ。
アケアカじゃない97、98もそう。

まともにゲームできない状態で売ってるって普通に問題なような気がするよ。

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-01, version 1.1.1*

Controls are bad

### 2/5 — Bad controls

*2025-01-30*

The virtual thumb stick control / steering is way too twitchy and not precise. No way to make quarter circles or even moving back and forth is a gamble. The rest is ported well, but a fighter without a way to make precise inputs - well this is only worth 2 stars, sorry

### 1/5 — ボタン設定のバグ放置

*2024-11-26*

こっち直してからアケアカ版出してください。こういうことばっかりしてるから買切りのゲームアプリは敬遠されるんですよ。

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this! ACA version is better!

*2024-08-05, version 1.1.1*

Don’t spend your money on this, Neo-Geo Arcade Archives (ACA) version is better. This hasn’t been updated in a long time and a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Abandoned! No small fix updates  No Vision Pro

*2024-02-13, version 1.1.1*

Excellent game!

1 ⭐️ because abandoned by developers. 

Compatibility list - not compatible with Vision Pro
