### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-05-29*

This is a great port, very fun. Only gripe is that I can’t figure out how to get Game Center to work with the app, so I can’t play 2 player.

### 5/5 — ボタンが

*2022-05-22*

ボタンが足りるので大丈夫

### 5/5 — Excellent port!!!

*2022-04-22*

This is a excellent port of the SNK classic! The only gripe I have is that its better with a controller, the on screen buttons work very well but are slightly off. However still 5stars nearly perfect!

### 3/5 — ゲームバランスはこの際置いておきましょう

*2022-02-20*

ハチャメチャで面白いです。
昔のSNKさんのアプリはiPadで遊ぶ場合全画面表示だったがアケアカは画面に余白が多い。
アスペクト比が違うiPhoneで左右に余白が出来るのは仕方ないが、4:3のiPadで遊ぶ4:3のゲームに余白があるのは大画面が勿体ない。
コントローラーを接続して遊べるのですから全画面モードを用意して欲しいです。
