### 3/5 — Not worth the money

*2018-12-27*

This is a good game but bot worth the money

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2018-11-08*

But I thought it’d more fun, more complex

### 4/5 — Unique Appearance, Lacks Content

*2018-10-15*

I was very impressed by the game’s initial presentation.  It has a unique aesthetic and a good soundtrack.  Unfortunately the game does not have much content to back up its artstyle.  Worth a play every now and then.  The game would be improved a lot if there were more missions and some form of upgrading your ship (besides picking up weapons).

### 4/5 — Not full screen on iPad

*2018-10-03, version 2.0*

As the title says,not full screen on my iPad Pro 9.7 on iOS 12.

I just have a very narrow play area,as if It’s an iPhone.

Wasn’t like this on my previous iPad.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-08-15, version 2.0*

Quality game with (outdated) graphics

### 5/5 — X support finally!

*2018-08-13*

Really glad you guys added support for the X. Awesome gameplay and visuals with great music

### 5/5 — Really, REALLY fun

*2018-07-27*

I normally don't play these types of games. Usually I stick to puzzle games. I came across Sputnik Eyes earlier, and decided to try it out. After getting it, I was really impressed with the graphics/charm, and the skills of the developer. So, I decided to check out their other games... was not disappointed. This game is also amazing and unique. Graphically it's stunning. The gameplay is so fun. Get it.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-07-24*

Boss minions sometimes go off screen, making it nearly impossible to avoid them

### 5/5 — Top!

*2018-04-26*

Ein sehr minimalistisches Spiel, aber wer ein Kind der 70er Jahre ist und nebenbei noch auf elektronische Musik und ein bisschen Action steht wird es lieben. Aber so ein Game ist eben immer Geschmackssache. Ich bin jedenfalls beeindruckt und deshalb auch von mir fünf Sterne.
 
P.S. Die schwerfällige Steuerung kann ich nicht bestätigen.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-01-13*

I love this game, better than any I have played. One feature that would be nice would be you would get a new ‘.col’ file when you beat a boss, also, on my phone it won't show the bullets but still hits things.

### 4/5 — Very interesting

*2017-12-30, version 1.05*

Very interesting little shmup

### 4/5 — Pretty

*2017-10-01, version 1.05*

Love this game! Would be good if I could play while listening to my own music

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2017-09-04*

I don't have many games on my phone, and this is one of them. Aesthetically this is one of the best games on iOS.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2017-08-13, version 1.04*

An experimental, minimalist shmup with an "old school geek" theme, set to ambient electronica—what's not to love? I'm digging the novelty of the glitched-out CRT visuals (which can be disabled if they're not your thing). $2 well spent. I can tell I'll be coming back to this one.

### 5/5 — Best ios space shooter

*2017-08-04, version 1.04*

Great challenging game. Cool visuals, awesome music and sound effects.

### 5/5 — Yea

*2017-07-26, version 1.04*

Just get it

### 5/5 — Das beste Ballerspiel ever, macht Spaß und hat hohes Suchtpotential

*2017-07-25*

Sehr einfach zu spielen und doch sehr kniffelig, vor allem im "Infinitiv" Mode. Das klassische Spiel hat mal recht schnell raus und durchgespielt, macht aber Spaß und geht auch nicht immer. Aber der "endlos/infinites" Mode ist genial. Habe wenige Spiele so oft und so gerne immer wieder gespielt. 

Fazit: Grandios, weil eigentlich einfach ... aber nur eigentlich. Top Game, volle Punktzahl!

### 5/5 — Genial!

*2017-07-08*

Tolles Arcade-Game im Retrolook mit Suchtpotential!

### 1/5 — Ruckelorgie

*2017-08-08*

Das Spiel ruckelt auf meinem Handy leider so stark dass es unspielbar ist. Schade...

### 1/5 — Limited bullet hell

*2017-08-04, version 1.04*

Nothing really new here. Good visuals and music. But there are lots of bullet hell shooters that are way better. The first part is pretty easy, got through it on my third try. The infinite play ramps up the difficulty but doesn't add anything new.

### 1/5 — ho hum

*2017-06-22, version 1.04*

runs slow and jerky on my phone, even with effects turned off. otherwise a pretty standard shmup with a glitch theme.

### 1/5 — Naja..

*2017-04-30*

Langweilig und eintönig, für mich kein € wert.

### 1/5 — Deserves 0 Stars

*2017-04-22, version 1.04*

Shame to the developer for releasing this paltry attempt at entertainment. Shame on Apple for supporting it.

A developer has no skills when they must rely on randomly spawning enemies which beeline into your ship in order to kill you during a boss fight.

Go back to school, or better yet, start a career as a toll booth operator.

Anyone giving this string of code five stars should have both thumbs forcibly amputated.

### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS TRASH DONT BUY

*2017-02-11, version 1.03*

There are a lot of better games for free this game is just so broken it isn't even funny the developers are probably laughing because how many people they scammed

### 2/5 — Nette Unterhaltung für einen Abend.

*2017-06-09*

Deutscher Computerspielpreis hin oder her, hatte mir irgendwie mehr Abwechslung erhofft, nach 2 Stunden wird's sehr eintönig. Außerdem ruckelt es auf dem iPhone 5S wenn zu viele Gegner auf dem Bildschirm sind, das macht keinen Spaß. Kann ich auch nicht wirklich nachvollziehen, manch anderes 3D animiertes Spiel geht ohne Probleme.

### 2/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2017-02-11, version 1.03*

game is great, sounds are awesome, gameplay is good but if you get anywhere over 1500 the game becomes so laggy you cant even play, i was generous to give it two stars ( I'm playing on a 6 fyi)

### 2/5 — 10 ips

*2017-02-10, version 1.03*

Ca....rame....beaucoup...
je joue avec 10 ips sur iphone 5.
Alors le jeu se veut retro avec un mise en scène sur un vieux pc des années 90/2000. Il est donc possible que le fait que ca rame A MORT soit voulu.
Si c'est le cas, un conseil, arretez ça de suite. Car il n'y a rien de plus agacant, qu'un jeu qui rame.
Ou alors deuxieme possibilité, l'iphone 5 n'est pas assez perfomant pour un jeu en noir et blanc à la space invader. Si c'est c'est le cas, y'a un vrai probleme d'optimisation.

Dommage, ca avait l'air sympa ce côté retro...

### 2/5 — Boring

*2017-02-08, version 1.03*

I finished the game..... and all I have to say is....

I want my $2 back

### 5/5 — Das beste Spiel, dass mit dem Apple Pencil spielbar ist

*2026-02-27*

Mit dem Apple Pencil macht das Spiel am meisten Spass

### 5/5 — 見かけ倒しだけど見かけが良すぎる

*2025-05-06, version 2.41*

ラスボスを倒せていない口で偉そうなことを言うが、ゲームとしては大したことがない。(レーザーがあまりに強すぎたりとバランスも考えられていないように思える？)
しかしながらそれ以上に見た目と雰囲気が良すぎる。あまりにも良い。
iphoneのライブ壁紙として設定させていただけないだろうか…

### 5/5 — Late Review

*2024-10-17, version 2.41*

I did not realise how long it’s been since I first started playing this game…

Hella neat, still fun to play even now. The visuals are awesome and the music really helps tie everything together.

### 5/5 — Me encanta!!

*2023-08-20, version 2.41*

El mejor juego arcade para teléfonos, me encanta su diseño, el modo carrera con los jefes y el modo infinito esta muy bien. Me gustaría que recibiera una actualización, añadir nuevos temas y jefes. Muy buen juego.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-07-29*

*2020-07-23*

### 5/5 — FIRE.......

### 5/5 — GAME SO GOOD
