It's very fun to play and a very rich game experience. Five stars! ### 5/5 — Fun shooter game *2016-10-11, version 1.1.2* A nice game to play, reminds me of arcade games! Graphics are nice too ### 4/5 — Awesome Game!! *2016-10-04, version 1.1.2* My kids love this game! I don't mind buying them the in app-purchases, especially if it keeps them still for a little bit while I work! Hope everyone else enjoys it just as much! ### 5/5 — You had me at retro *2016-09-25, version 1.1.2* Wow this game is really great. It remind me of some if Neo Geo games I used to play. The controls works great and everything. The developers did an awesome job on this gave. ### 5/5 — Smooth *2016-09-22, version 1.1.2* A smooth, enjoyable shmup - the icing on the cake would be relative controls for the ship, my finger hides the action a bit. ### 5/5 — Emoji🎻 *2016-09-18, version 1.1.1* Love the occasional emojis. Makes for a lighter atmosphere. Actually wait we are in space... ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2016-09-17, version 1.1.1* Like the way the game is presented - retro style. Brings back the atari days. I find the emoji's as an opponent cute ### 4/5 — Music and BOOST are fun in elation *2016-09-16, version 1.1.1* Music matches the atmosphere of the game and is very fun. I think that there should be the setting that can locate BOOST button on the left side. [Good] Music is very good. It is very refreshing when I use BOOST. [Not so good] When I operate it in the right, it is hard to push BOOST button. I feel an enemy to be firm generally. ### 5/5 — Cool shooter *2016-09-15, version 1.1.1* Addicting and easy-to-use game with great atmosphere. Creative mix of retro and modern styles. ### 4/5 — Nice game, nice music! *2016-08-25, version 1.1.1* Fun game with nice 8bit music. like the style. I have some suggestion for controls, it would better to place the airship in distance from finger, otherwise player's finger overlap the ship. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shame *2016-12-11, version 1.1.2* After 3 whole minutes on the loading screen I have up and deleted ### 2/5 — Soooooooo disappointing *2023-02-15, version 1.2* Great to play, difficult to understand other than provided you’re prepared to spend a LOT of money on something that isn’t really worth it,,I’d leave it well alone. The extra weapons etc that you buy don’t last long so un less you’ve got deep pockets,,, stay well clear if this one. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2018-10-25, version 1.2* I wanted to like this game but the constant interruption by ads, some times in the middle of a game, is very annoying. ### 3/5 — Cool game *2016-03-24, version 1.0.2* Fun and simple to play and will entertain you ### 4/5 — This is like a remaster of the Genesis and ps1 game Viewpoint *2025-06-02, version 1.2* If you have ever played viewpoint this game is like a crisp 3-D reimagining of it with some extra features on it it is a solid pick up and play shmup I look forward to any future shoot em ups that this developer creates that's how good this one was I found it by looking up shooter games on mobygames.com and it said there is a Zaxxon remake in the appstore when I searched it I couldn't find it but found this wich is close enough and prolly better than the Zaxxon remake is if it even exists in the appstore anymore lol ### 4/5 — Nice game 👾 *2017-01-12, version 1.1.2* It misses an option to control background music and sound effects, but overall it's a nice game to spend time. ### 4/5 — Stuck on load screen *2016-11-07, version 1.1.2* This game was really fun but now when I open it just sits on the loading screen forever. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Cool space shooter game *2016-10-18, version 1.1.2* Good looking game ! Different from other top down shooting game. Will keep on playing for a couple of weeks for sure ### 4/5 — Killing emojis is the best part *2016-10-15, version 1.1.2* Fun little mindless game. I was like wait where have I seen that 🐸 before??? Lol. Music gets a little repetitive ### 4/5 — Retro is the new black 👌 *2016-10-06, version 1.1.2* Fun app. I got a little confused because Game Center only works when the phone is in landscape, but just a minor glitch. I'm a sucker for all things retro. Reminds me of my childhood! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Shooty Great! *2022-02-18, version 1.2* I really like this game; if I have a few minutes to kill, its a great stress reliever! ### 5/5 — Good game *2017-04-24, version 1.2* Great shoot em up game with good variation of enemies and great ship upgrade possibilities. Can highly recommend it. Ps there is a lag when u die and before the ship disappears like 1s a little annoying would be nice to get it fixed ;) ### 5/5 — Nice game! *2017-04-12, version 1.2* Nice game 👌 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-03-30, version 1.2* This app is amazing, and I totally recommend it! It's very addictive super fun to play and it really keeps you engaged as you progress through the different levels. ### 5/5 — Cool side scroller *2017-02-17, version 1.1.2* Decent shooting game. Would recommend being able to control the shooting as well as direction of the ship. ### 5/5 — Fun Mobile Arcade Game *2017-02-13, version 1.1.2* The arcade-style of this game really works. It takes me back to arcade venues. The different levels each time really keeps me on my feet. The different features and challenges makes this game endless fun. ### 5/5 — Great Time Killing App! *2017-02-07, version 1.1.2* I just tired to find a free shooting game app for my little sister though, I found myself enjoying it lol. But it isn't that hard to have a quick reaction when you encounter the enemies. For this, you should get used to the control.. anyway If you got bored, give it a try:)) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2017-02-02, version 1.1.2* Very polished fun game! Well tuned controls and satisfying music. Love this style of graphics. Great job devs! ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2017-01-16, version 1.1.2* This game reminds me of my childhood, I was playing space game non stop 😊, very nice graphics and smooth gameplay, thanks to developer for this 👍 ### 5/5 — Nice shooting game!! *2017-01-16, version 1.1.2* I just love this kind of old-school game, Nintendo style, easy to paly and tough to master like what they said. Key point is how to have a quick reaction when meet the enemies, punch and smash them.
