Great

Amazing game and free - just like the original 10/10

Pretty unplayable on ipad without a gaming controller

Gameplay is excellent, 5 stars worthy as it sweeps ya back to childhood arcade days BUT as a grown adult, your hands cannot spend longer than one game with wrists almost touching to use the onscreen controls before they begin to hurt. Please make the game controls position adjustable in the settings so users can offset the outer buttons to be higher up screen so wrists can be in natural relaxed position given index fingers are shorter than middle fingers! Far more enjoyable with a gameSir bluetooth controller game pad.

Help!

This game is the only thing in life that brings me joy and now the left and right keys are sticking. I’m sure it’s not my iPad. I’m sure it’s your software. Please have somebody from the tech team reach out to me. I do not want to have to uninstall and reinstall to lose my seventh place, ranking on the scoreboard.

AWESOME!!!

Ah, used to play this in the arcade back in the day. This is a great game, and nearly identical to the original. The only thing that could make this classic better, would be to upgrade the control of the ship from left/right arrows to touch control like nearly all modern iOS SHMUPS. With that said, the gameplay is simple to learn, hard to master, and a blast to play. The frustration level decreases as you master the game. The Devs have provided an excellent options menu, but I don’t see auto fire there yet. I know this has been around for awhile, but I’d really appreciate an update for that. Thanks! (Also, the paid version deletes the ads.)

Older was Better

Played this game a year or so ago & thought it was pretty awesome & alot lke the old phoenix i used to play many years ago…..dont know what the developers have done to it but those controls on there now are just impossible on a phone & the fire button isnt at all the same either. Would have def given a 5 if it hadnt been for that.

Good but...

I love it just like you create other games but can you create other games like classic arcade games

Nailed it!

Not too many ads, and they nailed this game! I think the birds are smarter than in the original.

Button placement most unfortunate

The button placement at the very bottom of the screen makes this game unplayable. If not for that, this would be easily be a five star game.

Memories

Wow !!! Feel like I’m 8/9 years old again playing Atari games with my brother with the old kempston joystick :) . It’s perfect !! Thx !!!!!

Classic

So happy to see this in the App Store one of my favourite arcade games, I have one request though is there any chance of adding controller support for when I’m playing in my iPad? That would be the icing on the cake!

Great

An accurate reproduction of a arcade classic. Just as frustrating as I remember. Very well done 👍

Phoenix

I played this everyday after school in the early 80’s. I’m buying it because it bought back so many memories... I didn’t expect to find it in the App Store. Like someone else said do Pleiades next and see if you can also do Gyruss...I’ll continue to support you. Only issue. See if you can update controls with a joystick.... Thanks for the work on this.

THANK YOU FOR BLUETOOTH HAND CONTROLLERS

I have purchased the full versions of many of RI Productions’ games.
Not because I think the games are anything very special but because unlike so many other lazy and / or inept, incompetent developers, RI Productions have been able to include Bluetooth hand controller compatibility.
Hand controllers without doubt lends itself to a more enjoyable gaming experience.
For this reason alone I wanted to support them.

Love it!!!

Best classic arcade game from the 80s that works will on IPad!!! Pleiades next?? Please!

Awesome classic but Crashing!

I do enjoy it but this keeps crashing sometimes I played it.
Can you try to fix a game crashing issue?

Thank you

It's finally here!

This is so fabulous. What a brilliant piece of coding in honour of a truly classic game. Choose the 8 bit version for a trip down memory lane. Incredible. Thank you!

⚡️Nostalgic but the ads,,,,

Love the nostalgia and odd realistic feel from this game but the ads on the start screen are a little much considering there’s also ads whenever you die in game after a while. Other than that, it’s a good game and I would definitely recommend it if anyone I knew liked this kind of stuff 🎮

Great

Been waiting for this for ages - love Phoenix - does it have icade support ? Great game

Just like the arcade version

Awesome game, just like the original. I would definitely recommend buying the 99p version as you get the original 8 bit version!

Scam

Does not upgrade to pro after purchasing upgrade pack.
