## What is Scramblee?

S C R A M B L E
----------------

Controls:
---------
Left hand Hold and Slide - Control a virtual Joystick to ship moves.
Right hand tap - Fire Missile and Bombs.

Instructions:
------------
Player controls a ship that must infiltrate the five levels of the Scramble system and destroy the Base in the sixth. 

Level 1.- Has the player over a decidedly hilly terrain. Player must dodge or destroy enemy missiles shot from the ground. 

Level 2.-  Is inside a cavern. The quarters are not tight, but the swarms of enemy saucers make maneuvering difficult at best. 

Level 3.- The player exits the cavern and is assaulted by a storm of fireballsl. The fireballs are fast and indestructible and must be manically dodged. 

Level 4.- Flies the player over a large metropolis. Missiles fired at the player from the tops of buildings again become a threat. 

Level 5.- Sends the player into obnoxiously tight machine tunnels. Pilot error is the only though formidable enemy. 

The final level has the player make an attack run on the Base, defended only by its position in a deep valley. After the destruction of the Base, the player begins again.

## Key features

- Six distinct levels with unique challenges
- Hilly terrain and metropolis environments
- Cavern and tight machine tunnel navigation

### 3/5 — Wäre schön gewesen…

*2025-11-23*

Habe schon sehr lange danach gesucht, und mich schon riesig drauf gefreut es zu spielen.
Doch dann die ernüchternden Eindrücke. Die Steuerung muss dringend verbessert werden. Reagiert viel zu langsam.

### 4/5 — Lágrimas de nostalgia 😹

*2025-11-10, version 1.0*

Por favor, no funciona el mando PS4. En los otros juegos sí que va. ¿Puedes arreglarlo, Iván? Gracias

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-08-18*

Don’t bother if you’re on an iPhone. The control set up makes this game unplayable

### 1/5 — No se puede jugar con GamePad?

*2023-09-04, version 1.0*

Juego al MoonCrest del mismo desarrollador, con un gamepad GAMESIR y funciona perfecto, pero el mando me lo he comprado específicamente para jugar al Scramble y no me funciona. Ruego al desarrollador que me indique si tengo que hacer algo distinto y su funciona cambiaré la reseña.

### 5/5 — Works fine on iOS 14

*2020-11-05*

All works good for me. The classic arcade game is on iOS. Happy as hell

### 2/5 — Controles

*2020-06-25, version 1.0*

Mejorar los controles.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2019-04-08*

This was a great arcade game but I jus threw away $2 for a totally unplayable iPad version. To control the ship your finger must obscure the action so you end up flying blind. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — Le falta mejorar algunas cosas

*2017-12-26, version 1.0*

Es el único juego similar a Scramble o a Super Cobra que he encontrado en la app store, pero creo que le falta mejorar algunas cosas:

- Siendo un juego difícil (Scramble siempre fue difícil), mover la nave con el dedo sobre la pantalla es contraproducente: a menudo con el dedo tapas misiles, disparos, tu nave, etc, y si ya de por sí es difícil, sin visibilidad es aún más difícil.
- Los controles no son buenos. Si quieres mover la nave unos pocos pixels, es casi imposible.
- Por los dos puntos anteriores, creo que lo mejor sería reducir un poco el área de juego y poner botones de control (a modo de teclas). Eso mejoraría mucho el control y no taparías disparos/enemigos con el dedo.
- Dada la dificultad, no estaría de más una opción de continuar donde te han matado (o vidas infinitas, que es lo mismo).
- El juego pide a gritos una versión para iPad.
- Una lástima que este juego sea nuevo, porque me encantaría poder ejecutarlo en un dispositivo antiguo con iOS 4.3 (por supuesto esto no es culpa del desarrollador sino de Apple y su estrategia de obsolescencia programada, pero aún así es una pena).

### 1/5 — Mr T

*2017-11-25*

Needs updating ASAP Will not work on new iOS?

### 2/5 — Could be a good game but controls limit enjoyment

*2017-06-10*

Scramble was an early 1980's arcade game that was lots of fun.  The graphics of this app do faithfully recall the game (as I remember it).
Sadly the controls seriously hamper playability.  One must press the screen often obscuring your view of your ship.  Better would have been a pad at the bottom or side of the screen.  Same goes for the fire/bombs on the other side.  Your taps fire both the guns and the bombs.  You need two buttons for this!!! Should be an easy fix.  Not sure how the play testers allowed that to slide by.  A little tweaking and this could be a 4star game, but as it is a disappointing 2 stars.
