Games simple but fun. I used to skip the Story but the story actually picks up and gets somewhat interesting 😂 currently in sector 77 as of typing this. ### 4/5 — I miss this game! *2023-06-11, version 1.5.3* So many memories of playing this in my free time, and no other game really scratches the Galaga itch while also being so polished and innovative. Finding this game again after so long was like finding a needle in a haystack, especially with all the new (and terrible) Galaga clones. ### 3/5 — Will you ever come back? *2023-01-25, version 1.5.3* I recently found this game in my purchased list and decided to replay it. It’s still fun, but gets boring later in on as stages one after another are repetitive. With only the level of difficulty increasing. So clearly, this game still needs more features and improvements. ### 4/5 — Still strong after years *2022-11-23, version 1.5.3* Suddenly wanted to revisit this game since I played it 8 years ago, turned out it still beat the latest space shooter games in the App Store. There is a simple plot and characters dedicated to the game title. Each character even has its own illustration. Though the plot is not important to the game, it does make the game more enjoyable than just a plain shooter game. The gaming is creative. Enemy drones move around a lot with bullets from different angles. The HP bar is nice so you don’t die too easily. Upgrading system is nicely balanced, you will be more capable against enemy fleets with weapon upgrades, but you won’t get crazy bullet showers that overpower the enemy. Not to mention, the jet itself can be upgraded with in-game money. However, as it progresses, there’re downsides that make the game not as fun. The game stages can be quite repetitive. And earning money takes way too long just to buy one upgrade. Also, the offset between the jet and your finger is quite close and can’t be adjusted, it can be difficult to play along with this setting. While other new space shooters are poorly balanced with overpowering upgrades, almost static enemy fleets, poor graphic designs and UI, this game is relatively creative and brings me lots of fun. Though the game can’t be searched without typing the exact title, it still stands out in the crowd. ### 3/5 — Work on game pls *2021-09-17, version 1.5.3* Ok so, can you add more levels? Also fix some bugs. It’s in the title, Armor Games Dev. We wish we could give better ratings, but if you dont ever come back on this game, welp the ratings stay the same ### 4/5 — Suggestions and comments *2021-07-02, version 1.5.3* Very fun once you get a decent ship and some items. My first suggestion is to make a cores to credits conversion, so that after you buy all of the core ships you can still use the cores for something. My second suggestion is to add more ships! After you get the core ships, anvindr, and the raikou (core ships plus 35 credit ships), the other ones are underwhelming. In other words add more late game stuff. Just a general note, regular crates are almost entirely useless, even in very late stages. The only usable accessories in the regular crates are the guns that give a chance for regular bullets to stun, which you then pair with a ship like the Akama for stun locks. It would be cool to make credits and regular crates a little more relevant. ### 5/5 — 정말 잼있어요^^ *2021-05-16, version 1.5.3* 전 40스테이지... 유니크템 뽑아서 돌리면 스텟 세개 거의 900 이상 맞춤 가능요... ### 5/5 — Dương Bất Liệt *2021-01-16, version 1.5.3* Hay ko chê đi đâu đc ### 5/5 — Beautiful. *2021-01-11, version 1.5.3* It’s frankly amazing. The only suggestion I’d give is more ships, more backgrounds and songs playing in the background. More modes other than just campaign and boom. You’ll have yourself a winner. ### 3/5 — Fun for a while... *2020-12-13, version 1.5.3* Fun game for the first few levels. Then everything seems to hit a paywall with the boss of 3. Enemies far outrank your power and it gets to where you have to be incredibly good with spider sense or pay for upgrades. ### 3/5 — Fun at the beginning *2020-11-24, version 1.5.3* It's fun and hard, really exciting, but later. The line of fun stands on his position, meanwhile the hard line goes to the moon ### 5/5 — Come back pls *2020-09-18, version 1.5.3* Pls come back to optomize this game for iphone 10+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — update the game ! *2025-09-19, version 1.5.3* Why not support !!!? ### 1/5 — I like the art *2025-07-21, version 1.5.3* Absolutely amazing visuals and character art. I love the pixel style art that's used. But... there is no actual content. After the first few bosses it just repeats the same bosses over and over, the same levels, attacks, and events. The only thing that changes is the stats, and the plot. You have to do way more damage and take way more damage as you clear stages. It's ridiculously high damage increases as well. To the point where, I had to use a glitch to dupe the best currency. Even then, I couldn't keep up. I was only able to go probably 10 stages until I couldn't be two shotted anymore. The story changes, and that's good. But with new characters, I would literally see the same boss at stage 100, from the Queen, as the boss at stage 10. But with 5000 times the stats or something ### 1/5 — Stürzt ab *2025-02-12, version 1.5.3* Stürzt immer wieder ab ### 1/5 — Pay to Win *2021-06-08, version 1.5.3* Difficulty ramps up significantly within the beginning of the game (20 to 30mins), and as a result you will have to replay levels to grind for in game currency to upgrade your weapons or take the risk of paying for a lootcrate drop with 100 credits and getting a useless weapon/mod anyway. I’ve played this game since the iPhone 4S came out, I enjoy it time to time but the pay to win aspect makes it hard for me to WANT to play for more than a little. ### 1/5 — How do I get other players? *2020-10-03, version 1.5.3* I can’t find the online button neither was I asked to log in don’t know why I can’t play online ### 1/5 — Nice but expensive *2020-04-03, version 1.5.3* Make no mistake this is a great game and very addictive. But, it’s beginning to dig deep down into my pockets,,,,, shame really because it has taken the edge off a very good game indeed. Just updating my review after a further month , yes you do need deep pockets to play this one. It’s funny how you always manage to just run out of credits at the vital moment. Unless you buy more you won’t get any further through skill alone,,, dig deep and save all your pocket money,,,,,,, you’ll need it! Just tried it one more time and I’m definitely packing this game in. It’s a rip off big time!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I was warned, but came back for another go April 2020. It’s still the same,,,takes up all your existing credit and then error message all the time saying server down so can’t buy any more to continue,,,,it then makers you start the session all over again and can’t go anywhere without buying credit as you’ve used it all up.. Very poor as it’s such a great game but really. It’s just a big con ### 1/5 — Awful experience, no support *2018-08-13, version 1.5.3* So I threw a bunch of money into this game because I liked the story, even though it was pretty obviously stretched out to give more opportunities for “walls” that required in-app purchases or lengthly grinds to get past. But I generally like supporting stuff that I enjoy. But at the end of the game, some bug keeps me from seeing the end of the story. That wouldn’t be so bad but the really bad part was that there’s basically no way to contact support, and it just redirects you to useless forums. ### 1/5 — This is nothing but a cash grab *2017-11-25, version 1.5.3* This is no more than a mediocre shooter. After 1 hour of play the game goes from easy to near impossible. Your lives are on a timer to manipulate you to spend money on lives. There’s so many better shooters out there that aren’t a cash grab: Phoenix 2 Time locker Sky Force (any version) Infinity gene Plasma sky ... to name a few. ### 1/5 — 紀錄都不見了 *2017-11-12, version 1.5.3* 紀錄都不見了 ### 1/5 — Great game though *2017-11-02, version 1.5.3* This is a great game but sometimes it can be a little to hard and the ads really get on my nerves please remove them so I can have a solid gameplay experience. :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please 🔮 *2026-05-21, version 1.5.3* Add a endless mode and my life is yours 🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — Just perfect *2026-05-12, version 1.5.3* No ads, juicy gameplay, I loved every bit of it ### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo de novinha *2026-02-14, version 1.5.3* Muito bom, porém poderia ser melhor os bônus de upgrade.... ### 5/5 — Anybody still play this in 2024-25 lol? *2024-12-30, version 1.5.3* If you loved Galaga like games then this is the one. Games simple but fun. I used to skip the Story but the story actually picks up and gets somewhat interesting. Just beat the game 100 sectors need more and better rng loot ### 5/5 — Why no sequel? *2024-03-20, version 1.5.3* This is easily the best shmup ever made on mobile, and one of my favorites overall. The story is great, the writing is clever, the mechanics and weapons are fun, along with elemental effects, and the combinations and sheer volume of equipment available with random rolls is enough to keep you occupied long after you’ve beaten the game. Tons of ships to unlock that actually play differently, not just simple weapon swaps, and affect your choice of equipment. Prices were fair, too. I really wish they’d make a follow up already. It’s been years, but I still come back and play through the story every now and again. Can’t say that for many of the other mobile games I’ve got. ### 5/5 — Update *2022-08-30, version 1.5.3* Hi! I really loved this game way back. I just re downloaded this game now. Its been over 5-8 years (?) since i played this and i still love it. The graphics and the game itself for me is the best space shooter game in IOS. But its sad cause the last update was on 2014. I hope you'd update the game though to the best version you have. Hope you'll read this and maybe you'd consider on working on this game again and make it better. I know if you do, its gonna be amazing! ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2022-07-04, version 1.5.3* Compare this game to other games and wow its pretty special and unique. Each level is different and all the sectors have a well thought out name and story behind them. It is interesting and is a fun game to play offline. It is simplistic but still enjoyable. If the devs read this an update for more sectors would be amazing! 5 stars definitely. This game deserves a lot more attention. ### 5/5 — Poca dedicación *2021-12-14, version 1.5.3* Es un muy buen juego, lastima que los desarrolladores no lo toman en cuenta, el único en su especie con un toque looter ### 5/5 — Legendary! *2021-12-06, version 1.5.3* I’ve played this game since I was a Kid, I forgot to write a review so here’s mine now, I played 5 years ago and forgot this game existed, yet now I have found it once more, yet I see the Developers have given up on the game, we are yet to see them care once more, I hope you come back, I still watch ads so I hope that helps with business! -Jurrien Halim ### 5/5 — Need: UPDATES. *2021-07-28, version 1.5.3* Please developers, we wish for you to update this game. I have done everything and finished the story for about 4 years now. Today is July 28, 2021. Please update the game. Add new Weapons. Characters. Stories. Ships. Enemies. And many more twists. I may don’t know how to donate money, but please do your best to update this game Gemini Strike. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
