### 3/5 — Awesome but....

*2025-03-01*

Controls and graphics are great - sound turns on and mostly off, without reason. Apple watch 10 46mm.

### 1/5 — Shockingly appalling controls

*2023-09-03*

The tap controls are shocking, and my ship/cannon thing keeps disappearing off the screen entirely. How do you expect people to play this game without a cannon? Watching rows of alien invaders move towards the bottom of the screen and not being able to dodge their fire or shoot at them is not my idea of a fun game.

### 1/5 — iPhone版にて

*2022-04-26*

画面を横へ三分割に見立てたタップ位置で1マス相当の移動分をストック、ストックしただけ移動+高速化
タップ後一定以上スライドしていないアンタップ時に自弾発射、ただし特定条件下で発射しなくなる、発射せずに移動は不可(特定操作、特定条件下では可能)
壁なし、自機耐久性
敵弾発射位置は先頭に限らない、名古屋打ち不可
非撃破でも加速
特定条件下で敵弾発射がなくなる
これだけの内容で30MBというサイズ
UFOを確認することなくアンスコ

### 1/5 — 正直､操作性が悪すぎる！

*2022-01-05*

左右への移動は本体を傾ける事で移動できるようですが､しかし反応が悪すぎるせいか本体を傾けても移動しない事が多々ありますし､攻撃する反応速度も遅いと思います。

### 3/5 — Get it, but only if it’s free.

*2021-10-11*

Horrible interface.

You move when you’re just trying to fire, leading to losing a ship.

After you move, you can’t fire right away again, because you just finished firing when you moved.

**Developer response:** Hi can we know are you referring to the iPhone or Apple Watch version?

### 5/5 — Top für zwischendurch

*2021-10-06*

Steuerung ungewohnt aber funktioniert. 
Ich finde es cool. Danke.

### 5/5 — Cute game for the watch

*2021-07-03*

This really is a cute way to kill some time (and battery) on your Apple Watch. The controls are very basic, but considering the size of the watch screen, and lack of buttons, I think the developer did a good job.

### 4/5 — ありがとう

*2021-06-22*

Watchのゲーム少ないだわ
それにしても、デジタルクラウンを
りようするとは！
ところでiPhoneでは
どうやって動かす？

### 1/5 — Steuerung furchtbar

*2021-04-07*

Die Steuerung ist tatsächlich lächerlich und funktioniert nicht richtig.

### 1/5 — Selbst kostenlos noch zu teuer

*2021-04-06*

Der allerletzte Schrott. Ich hab nie eine schlimmere Steuerung erlebt. Und das wo man nur links und rechts braucht.
An Blödheit Rekordverdächtig.
