## What is Moon Raider?

Ava is the young daughter of the brilliant-but-aging scientist Dr. Cavor and Selene, the former queen of the moon. As a selenite, Selene's life depends on the special energy only moon gems can provide. With none left and time running out, Dr. Cavor enlists his daughter to raid the moon of as many gems as she can find! 

Ava must survive the treacherous catacombs deep beneath the surface of the moon. Her enemies, a legion of corrupt aliens that now rule the moon with force, are far less primitive than they first appear. Their world is full of terrifying technology, deadly traps, and armed soldiers at the ready. Ava soon realizes that the only way to save her mother is to save the moon from itself.

### 3/5 — DON’T TILT ANALOGUE STICK IN THE MENUS

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.4*

So beat the first stage and was having a ton of fun- great controls, gamepad support, graphics and music. BUT after beating the first stage I quit, accidentally tilted the left analogue stick on the main menu and it quickly asked me if I wanted to delete my save data before proceeding to anyway, losing my progress........ I know I only beat the first stage but imagine getting towards the end of the game and a bug like that kills your entire game? I’d recommend looking into this.

### 4/5 — Fix clunky controls get 5 stars!

*2020-10-26, version 1.0.4*

Great retro style platformer, reminiscent of the 16bit games I grew up with. Needs tighter controls, especially when jumping (at least for me) when using a controller.  Good game with a lot of potential.

### 3/5 — Little clunky

*2020-10-05, version 1.0.4*

It’s fun, has an SNES gen mega man feel to it but it also feels a little clunky. The touchscreen controls aren’t fantastic and the animations feel like they are missing a frame or 2. I’m not sure it’s a $4 game (pretty sure that’s what I paid) feels more like a $1 or $2 when compare with others on iOS store. I also got stuck on 1-6 where I was able to double jump up to get a gem, but the door is still locked and now I’m stuck and will have to replay the level. And what is up with the start screen? You have “new game” 1st and there’s a tiny little arrow to go over to “load game” I’ve deleted my save data twice now by accident. Make “load game” the 1st option. 

Overall I believe the game has lots of potential, just needs some things fixed through updates.

### 5/5 — Great Start

*2020-10-04, version 1.0.4*

The gameplay is pretty tight. It’s fun switching into dashing and flying around taking care of enemies and gem chests. Only bug is that you run out of hatches at the start of levels and you end up falling into death pits sometimes because of that. But overall very impressed with this game. Wish it the best!

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2020-10-02, version 1.0.3*

I’ve been following the development of this game for a long time! It doesn’t disappoint. A very fun game overall. Lots of variety of things to look at and do. Plus my kids love playing two player mode on the iPad. We are putting those game pads to use!
