### 5/5 — Excelente, mas tem os seguintes defeitos:

*2025-05-11*

1º Não é compatível com gamepad GameSir G8 e G8+ (iPhone), ou seja, não conecta automaticamente ao controle Bluetooth;
2º Não tem a opção de tela cheia, sem os botões e joystick expostos na tela para a conexão de gamepad (controle Bluetooth), como nos demais jogos da franquia disponíveis na platforms do desenvolvedor.

### 5/5 — Excelente port!

*2023-09-04*

Excelente port para o iPhone! Só uma observação: para jogar com controles você tem que configura-lós primeiro na tela inicial do jogo, pois os controles não são configurados automaticamente como a maioria dos jogos.
