Looks Classic Plays Chaotic

RaeLaxians absolutely nails the retro arcade look, with enemy waves and visuals that feel pulled straight from an old cabinet. Unfortunately, the authenticity comes with a steep price: the game is far too hard for its own good. You move and fire at the same time, with no real control separation, which makes dodging feel clumsy and aiming feel accidental rather than skillful.

Enemy ships fire faster than you can react and often slam directly into you as you try to maneuver out of the way. Instead of feeling challenging, it feels cheap and unavoidable. RaeLaxians has the foundation of a great throwback shooter, but the punishing difficulty and restrictive controls make it frustrating rather than fun.

Response from developer

Many thanks for your feedback - the control dynamic via MFI gamepad is much more authentic. I'll spend some time when I have any and revisit this and work on changes posted In your feedback. I do really appreciate all comments, and take any contructive criticism as it's meant to be. This is a learning curve for as I revisit a hobby I had back in the 80's so please be patient with me as I develop and improve these games bit by bit. This is not my full time job, just something I do for fun but love to get comments as mentioned and get to work on fixes.

Close to the original

Itโ€™s pretty good for a recreation, just no transparency for images, and besides that only a few behaviour differences taking the game harder, but besides that actually pretty good

Response from developer

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate your feedback - I'll look into the image transparency for the next release

3 Things Missing From This Game

You need to include a Left and Right button and a fire button which will make it more like the arcade game which we all know and Love.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your response, this does support MFI gamepads which greatly improves playability. Swipe left / right with tap to shoot is best for touch screens, having physical buttons is awkward to play in mobile - try with gamepad, much more authentic

WOW WHAT THEโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Well Steve you got one galaxian clone that put next to that Space inRAEders and itโ€™s 1980 again. This game in 1 mbโ€ฆ.yes you read that correctly just 1. However every game has something that a little off and same goes here. Steve you need to make those advancing ships fire slower, did you not notice that problem? Seriously they fire like unfair transportation beams there there then on you boom. Needs fixing. Thankful you incorporated the fire button into the left right buttons. Well not buttons thankfully there are no buttons on screen just touch to move let up for a second to fire. Worked well on Space InRAEders and works just as good here. Can wait to see another 80โ€™s classic there are so many. I will give fifth star if you fix their shots speed. Is this just released because I didnโ€™t see this before. Definitely retro love.
