## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very poor controls

*2024-11-15*

I loved this game way back, but the movement control in this app is rubbish, it’s a rip off at $2, if it was free would still delete.

### 1/5 — Controls?

*2024-04-27*

How do you play this? No idea.

### 2/5 — Phoenix hyper

*2024-11-19*

While the game resembles phoenix, the gameplay is such that it’s in hyper mode, the controls are ok but could be better, the sound, what sound, and I even let them know, the aliens shoot so fast and so much, you can hardly move without dying, it needs to be refined and fixed

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-06*

YO! Great retro phoenix! It’s not exactly like the original, but it is its own great game! With people saying that it’s too hard, of course it’s hard! It’s the sequel to one of the best arcade space shoot um up’s of the early to mid 80s! One thing I do think I want added, is those alien “woo woo” sounds that the Atari 2600 had.

### 5/5 — Gut
