SQUARE UP

Next to Galaga.... THIS IS THE SECOND BEST GAME IN ALL OF EXISTENCE. FIGHT ME IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE BECAUSE YOUโ€™RE WRONG.

Any chance of reversed controls?

I like this game, but have a hand injury on my left hand. The only way I can play now is to turn on the rotation lock, and then flip the phone, and control with my hand on the right. It is playable, but it would be nice if there were a menu option to reverse the orientation, so scores and whatnot were not upside-down. Any chance of that? Thanks

I love it.

Such a fun, addictive game.

1980's Flasback Perfection

This is the perfect 1980s retro arcade bowling alley skating rink arcade space shooter this is great this is this is perfect I don't know what else to say install it!

Used to be good

So simplistic yet action-packed and well balanced. Each game is fast and furious and impossible to not hit 'replay' and keep going. Update!! The game starts becoming unresponsive, the shield sometimes doesn't work, and some of the weapons start acting up, especially on higher scores

best app ever

this app is easily my favorite game. it's simple, easy, fun, and timeless... it's not addicting and won't eat all your time but never gets old ... I got it about a year ago and still enjoy it as much as when I first got it

The ads show up in game play

I'm starting the game and I playing and focusing but all of a sudden my screen goes black for like 5 seconds and then they have an ad pop up in the middle of the gameplay

Good improvements

Not sure where my original review went but I'm glad that a couple of my suggestions were implemented (piercing on vertical/spinner shot).

Now it seems that cluster bomb is the most underwhelming powerup. It's the powerup on which I most frequently lose my combo. A slight tweak to make the first bomb shot guarantee a one shot kill on the lowest invaders would vastly improve it's reliability. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I have witnessed a cluster bomb in slow motion colliding with a heart shaped invader only to see the invader survive and my cluster bomb disappear.

There are still times where the invulnerability fails. I'm not sure what the problem with that is.

And let's be real here, nobody actually plays this game sideways. There needs to be an option to allow portrait orientation. A notification on landscape blocks half the screen whereas if portrait orientation was being used, a notification wouldn't block anything.

Brilliant quick-fix

I love coming back to this game once in a while. Every time I do, I play it over and over again because it's simplistic, fun, fast-paced and utterly challenging.

Wonderful retro 80's style game

Such a great game. If you liked Space Invaders : This is the more charm filled version. A must for any fan of 80's type games

Fun times

Works great and so much fun. I sprang for the 99ยข to get rid of the misshapen ads and no 'x' visible.

Sky forcei

I would like to play this type of action and gove me lots of din

Great Game with Plenty of Nostalgia!

This game heavily reminded me of Galaga (which is good) but with a more retro twist with the different power stars and difficulty. Really a well laid out format and awesome music!
My only complaint is that the advertisement pops up at inconvenient times (sometimes when you just started the game), but it's nothing too major. Overall it's an excellent game and I'd totally recommend playing it!

Great game

All I want is a pause button. PLEASE

Has pop up ads!!

Charge 99 cents, get rid of ads, and then you'll get five stars. Because game itself is awesome. I'm deleting it now though thanks to pop ups.

Jheeeeeeeze

I love it, skill required but great

Hammahz the game

Awesome

Love this game!

Oh my goodness am I addicted to this game. Best way to describe it is a horizontal Space Invaders (with lots more ammo). This satisfies the casual retro gamer in me better than anything else on my iPad right now. Awesome job!

THIS IS FUN!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Great game

Love this game

Super addicting, lots of fun. Great style and love the music. For the most part, loved the last upgrade. Except the vertical shot โ€” it's a combo-killing disappointment, especially when you get it several times in a row. Consider making it stronger, right now it is too weak.
