### 1/5 — Ugh

*2026-01-18*

Unplayable, worst port, please adapt to iPad touch control

### 5/5 — Needs a couple options added… please…

*2023-03-24*

It would be great to add a “touch” control (anywhere on the screen) for the ship navigation and have a full screen option as well… both are available on the Blazing Star game from SNK on this platform… other than that, the game performs exactly like the original AES / MVS…

### 5/5 — Retro heaven

*2022-11-30*

I can now play this retro classic on my phone whenever I want. Love this game. Hints of gradius and r-type. Ideally would need relative touch controls but it’s still great to play. Love these neo geo classics keep em coming !!
