You know what this game really needs?

For something emulating keyboard control, would actual visible keyboard keys be a bonus? To know where to press? You know, a simple thing on a tricky, keyboard-based game? Steering the main character would be a real boost. Luckily this game doesn’t require precision or skill. Or character control. Apart from the lack of control, it’s exactly like a Keyboard-based Spectrum experience. Bravo.

Absolute rubbish

Do yourself a favour and don’t bother spending any money on this load of rubbish

Controls don’t appear on iPhone

No matter what I do or set in settings it’s just a grey box at the bottom of the screen and you have to guess where the buttons are. £2.99 wasted.

Shame. Don’t buy.

Broken

Controls don’t work. Impossible to play since an iOS update a while back. Don’t bother with Elite games as they’re broken and the dev doesn’t care. What a waste and such a shame as Elite were legendary in the 80s and now look. A joke
