I think it is harder than the original because of the controls. It would be good if you reposition the buttons to or an option for left handed players. ### 3/5 — Freezer *2016-02-21, version 1.3* Game freezes on training screen also on the high score table, please fix it. As I love this game. ### 2/5 — Not quite right with IOS 8 *2015-09-06, version 1.3* The game is essentially good but it has problems with iOS 8. The training part does not work. If you select it the screen freezes and you have to close and restart. Also, when the game ends and you enter your name it freezes again having to close the app. Please fix the bugs. It's not good enough for a paid app. ### 3/5 — Great but freezes up *2015-05-01, version 1.3* I love the game and am happy with the purchase. I just wish they fix it so it doesn't freeze up ### 2/5 — Freezes all the time *2015-03-26, version 1.3* Really not sure if this is a bad build but it seems way to quirky and unstable to get as many good reviews as it has. When a game finishes I have to quit to start a new game. The "training" doesn't not launch. The game also freezes too often. I like a lot, I just wish it would work better. ### 3/5 — Great but buggy *2014-11-05, version 1.3* Great rendition of one of my favorite old arcade games. It is a bit buggy though and it locks up frequently. ### 4/5 — Totally awesome--just fix bombs *2012-12-29, version 1.3* Just allow only two bombs in air at one time, like the original, and it's perfect! Btw how do you beat the last round?? ### 4/5 — Scramble! *2012-12-12, version 1.3* Great game old school style ### 5/5 — Quality *2012-11-04, version 1.3* Takes me back, and superb on the iPad. Just would like to see Williams Defender, Missile Command, Galaxian etc.... ### 5/5 — Scramble *2012-10-18, version 1.3* Played this as a kid loved it then and love it now great retro fun thankyou for bringing it back ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPhone Users,Don't Buy!! *2016-05-23, version 1.3* IF YOU OWN AN IPHONE DONT BUY THIS GAME. The game is good,best version of the game we used to play back in the day,....but! The training part does not work. If you select it the screen freezes and you have to close and restart. Also,when you enter your name in the high score the same things happens again and you have to close the app. If this was a free game I wouldn't be bothered but as it is I paid for this and it doesn't work. IF YOU OWN AN IPHONE DONT BUY THIS GAME. The developer last updated this game in 2011 so clearly has no interest in sorting out the problems,but is quite happy to take your money!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2016-04-24, version 1.3* So basically, the app doesn't work. It randomly loads in the wrong orientation and won't respond to tilting the device, then simply doesn't respond to taps/touches on the screen. Utter waste of money and I hope the owner refunds me and Apple remove it for the store. ### 1/5 — Shame: Crashes and freezes every time. *2016-02-14, version 1.3* Joystick control is a bit poor but aside from that the look and feel is pretty close to the original. However when I play the game on any of my four devices it crashes every time, 20 to 40 seconds in. Sadly deleted. ### 1/5 — Freezing. *2015-12-19, version 1.3* Deleted and re-installed twice only for it to freeze after entering your name on now both occassions. A true classic, but a shame! ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2015-09-14, version 1.3* Freezes every minute or so, when paused will not re-start. Absolute sh1te. ### 1/5 — Big John *2014-12-26, version 1.3* Constantly freezes, looks good as well, ### 1/5 — Jones *2014-10-25, version 1.3* Keeps freezing on IPhone 5. Wouldn't recommend. Wasted money😞 ### 1/5 — Hmmmm ! *2013-03-03, version 1.3* Trouble is ! On the original game you could move your ship whilst firing , which is vital in this game ! This retention hasn't got that ! What a shame because graphics are good . ### 2/5 — Control not responding *2024-03-01, version 2.1.1* Control gets stuck ### 2/5 — Fatal Flaw *2021-04-21, version 2.1.1* Great game, going back the original scramble. Unfortunately, the bomb button overlaps the white home indicator bar that appears to replace the home button on iPhones (I am using 11 Pro Max) and therefore you intermittently touch the bar - as a result of that, the window moves then returns, interrupting the game and causing it to start going again but with no ability to move the ship after the restart. Needs that fixed to be playable on iPhone. 5 Stars if that can be fixed!!!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-07-11, version 2.1.1* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Nostalgic and good *2015-12-15, version 1.3* Big fan of this game back in the day. Memories ! Well they all came again playing this little version. A joy to play again 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-04-06, version 1.3* Takes you right back. ### 5/5 — Scramble *2013-07-11, version 1.3* Awesome :)) ### 5/5 — M *2013-05-03, version 1.3* Great game, works exactly like it did on Atari .controls work fine, so ignore remark which says they don't ### 5/5 — Scamble *2013-03-27, version 1.3* Wow very authentic. Ignore remark "cant shoot and move" the game work just fine. Easier in some respects as i seem to have more bombs than i recall but late stages very tricky. Well worth a look, Background music so so anoying ahh just as i remember. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-03-23, version 1.3* This brings back memories of spending hours in the arcade for 10p. Amazing game. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-14, version 1.3* I had the highest score back in the early 80's in notturno in carlton and I'm happy to be able to play it again. Still a great game! ### 5/5 — Classic *2012-11-23, version 1.3* Great classic and just as addictive 30 years on ### 5/5 — Retro at its best *2012-11-12, version 1.3* I was oooooo 10? When i first played this game in the 70s/80s and that's when I first discovered addiction ! Addiction to video games !! Really cool app and playability is awesome and that !
