### 5/5 — Outstanding !!!

*2011-06-09, version 1.2.3*

This game is a little gem :) being a avid shump shooter fan I can easily say this is one of the best on the app store !! A steal at 59p.

### 5/5 — Just massive.

*2010-11-16, version 0*

Four modes, tons of missions, countless bullets, block-rocking beats, pinpoint control, gorgeous 60fps vector-style graphics—what else would you expect from the originator of abstract bullet-curtain shooters? Two bucks is an absolute steal for the amount and quality of content on offer here.

### 5/5 — いいね！

*2010-10-18, version 0*

弾幕が、薄いぞ！‥‥とは言わせないッ！
無料版で十分だったんですが、移植度の高さに敬意を表して購入してしまいました。
HD MODEにすると、自機のクルクル回転がカクカクしちゃうのがちょっと残念（iPhone4 iOS4.1）ですが、それ以外はいい感じです。
最初は、「タッチパネルで弾幕ってどうよ？」って思ってましたが、自機の移動速度が指の動かし方次第なので、パッドよりも直感的で結構いける！！

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2010-09-04, version 0*

My favorite PC shooter now on my iphone, and looking more crisp and fluid then ever!! excellent port!

### 1/5 — 音鳴らない

*2026-01-02, version 1.8.1*

No sound.音が鳴らない。移植出来てないじゃん。ベータ版出されてもな。

### 1/5 — asked for a review

*2024-04-02, version 1.8.0*

asked for a review

### 3/5 — Graphics delay

*2017-08-25, version 1.4.4*

Since the latest update, there is a small but perceptible pause about every second during gameplay.

### 3/5 — Great, buggy.

*2012-05-21, version 1.3.0*

Awesome game.
Can't really play it well because the alternative fire modes don't work at all. Sad. Please fix.
Some margin on the screen for easier control without blocking the view (like bug princess, etc.) would also be nice.

### 3/5 — やっぱむり

*2011-11-21, version 1.3.0*

iPhoneのタッチ操作じゃ限界がありすぎる
サイヴァリアのタイプだと2本指だと誤動作しまくりでゲームならん
PSP版の方が確実に遊べる
残念

### 4/5 — Really interesting abstract shmup practice

*2017-06-30, version 1.4.3*

Good to play in small time doses. About avoiding bullets more than anything else. Well worth the asking price.

### 4/5 — 中々に面白いです

*2015-01-30, version 1.3.1*

ボス戦OnlyのSTGです。
モード?が4個あり、それぞれ40個?ステージがあり、弾幕も違うので、ボリュームはバッチリかと。
モードは
NORM→通常?
PSY→PSYVARIAR
IKA→斑鳩
GW→ギガウイング
と、それぞれの特徴を取り入れた感じです(´・ω・｀)

あとは、多分、難易度選択がないので、弾幕初の人にはちょいとキツいのが難点ですかね、
慣れてる人は普通に出来る難易度ですが…

ボスを1段階倒した時の間が地味に長いのと、起動時のミスマッチなキャラと…PSYのレベルアップが少し遅い気がするのと操作性が微妙なので☆4でふ…

### 4/5 — Good

*2012-07-29, version 1.3.0*

Awful loading screen and the controls aren't as good as the old Lazrhog version, but it's still better on iPhone than any of the Cave ports.

### 4/5 — Faithful conversion

*2011-11-27, version 1.3.0*

Smooth graphics, sharp, responsive controls, and the same addictive, randomised enemies from the original. An excellent shooter!

### 5/5 — All-Time Great

*2026-03-22, version 1.9.0*

Excellent shmup featuring tons of content, varied gameplay, and smooth controls.

### 5/5 — iPhone X issues were fixed.

*2018-08-20, version 1.5.3*

This is a wonderful SHMUP.

### 5/5 — rRootage

*2016-02-29, version 1.4.3*

This is one of my favorite ALL TIME bullet hell games. But aside from that, the developer/customer service response is FRIGGIN INSANE!! I wrote the developers about a crash on iOS 7 after an update, and NOT 2 HOURS LATER they responded, the next day they had an update pushed through fixing the issue. This isn't a new thing either, they have always reponded VERY quickly to any bugs or issues that have arrose over the YEARS that this game has been in the AppStore. Fantastic game, fantastic developer support, and a game that has been kept running on every device pretty much since the AppStore launched... respect! And if you're into bullet hell/shmup games, GET THIS... it's a classic. =oD

### 5/5 — The best mobile shmup I've ever played

*2016-02-28, version 1.4.3*

This game is incredible. There are enough levels to keep you occupied for quite a long time. The controls work fantastically. You move by sliding your finger across the screen (It doesn't have to be covering your ship) and a second finger activates your special move. Double-tapping pauses the game. Updates are somewhat infrequent, but when new hardware and firmware comes out, comparability comes shortly afterwards. After the last update, the game was broken on iOS 7. I was worried that it would simply be broken for an extended period of time. The update to fix the issue came out the next day. The leaderboards are (so far) free of hackers, so that's a plus. There are 40 levels for each mode. There are 4 modes, each heavily inspired by a different shmup. That means there are 160 levels to beat in this game. All the modes have very different mechanics. NORM is a standard shmup mode where you have bombs that destroy surrounding bullets. PSY is a more grazing focused mode. If you graze enough, you fill up a meter. When the meter fills up, a bomb type burst activates. The special move (which can be held down) spins your ship, increasing the graze range. IKA (my personal favorite) is heavily inspired by the Dreamcast classic, Ikaruga. The bullets are two different colors. You are surrounded by a colored shield, which you can match to the bullets, reflecting them back at the enemy. The special move switches the color of the shield. GW has a shield that you must charge up to use. The meter increases over time, and you hold the special move to activate it. It's a short range shield that gets smaller until exploding in a longer-range, quick burst. There's more to this game, but I honestly can't explain all of it. Just play the game. If you're feeling reluctant, just get the ad-supported version for free. You won't regret it.

### 5/5 — Thanks devs!!

*2016-02-13, version 1.4.1*

For making an iOS classic AND continuing to update it for new firmware/hardware.

I will forever be thankful!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2011-12-22, version 1.3.0*

Need more Kenta Cho!

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2011-09-06, version 1.2.3*

This game is a classic based off of Kenta Cho's work.
Its the perfect casual game that also is also good for hardcore gamers.
Everyone should have this type of game on their devices.
