### 3/5 — Что за...

*2021-02-15*

Эта игра должна поддерживать геймпад. Я играл в неё на андроид, и это было. Тогда не поиграл толком, но очень захотел сейчас. Буду считать, что заплатил за то, что играл в неё когда-то давно, но я очень сильно разочарован.

### 2/5 — Blue tooth controller

*2020-10-28*

This would be one of the top games of its kind for iOS 
But the lack of blue tooth controller support just ruined the whole effort. The controls on the screen makes it literally impossible to enjoy or finish maps. 
Pity

### 3/5 — Needs game controller support

*2020-10-12, version 1.30*

Where are the controller updates?

### 3/5 — Please update!

*2020-05-26*

Would be a 5-star game if it supported iPhone X screens!

### 2/5 — 截圖與實際畫面不符

*2020-03-02, version 1.30*

截圖（截圖是全螢幕）與實際畫面不符

### 2/5 — Updates?

*2018-11-27*

The App Store listing for this title indicates it has been three years since it was last updated.  Please update this game so that it is optimised for use on newer devices.  It is/was an expensive app that many people would appreciate continued support for.  Currently the gaming window only occupies a narrow portion of the screen and menus are all but unreadably small.  Streamlining the user interface would also be helpful.

### 4/5 — Sine Mora EX

*2018-07-12*

Where’s the EX version?

### 3/5 — Consider your platform

*2017-04-17, version 1.30*

The instructions are ridiculously tiny. Maybe they can be read on a full size iPad but with my iPhone 6 Plus it is near impossible to read. Controls are a bit sluggish too.

### 2/5 — Incompatible joystick MFI !

*2015-10-21*

Ce jeu est absolument magnifique, cependant, reste néanmoins un jeu de shoot très exigeant !
De se fait, il est impensable de pouvoir il est jouer sans Joystick !

Une petite MAJ et s'est réglé !

L'écran est gâché par une bande noire ( ce qui est dommage vue la beauté du jeu ) - c'est peut être un choix de l'auteur afin de conserver l'esprit originel, certe; mais il est tout de même dommage de ne pas avoir appliquer la localisation ( français )alors qu'elle existe sur XboX 360 ! 

5 étoiles quand le jeu sera compatible avec les manettes Bluetooth MFI .

C'est quand même dommage de gâcher un des plus beau shoot qui existe par l'absence de contrôles adéquats...

### 4/5 — sad customer

*2015-07-15*

sad customer here, just bought and will not run on my ipad air 2 running ios 8.4 fix please?

### 2/5 — Crashes on iPhone 6 Plus

*2015-05-05*

Tried to launch it on iPhone 6+ but game just crashes

### 3/5 — Great Port of a Great Shooter, But Really Needs MFi Controller Support!

*2015-04-29, version 1.29*

This is a great game, and the port is excellent in all regards except for the lack of MFi controller support. Any decent shooter is going to need the accuracy provided by a physical controller, and this game is remarkably remiss by leaving it out in lieu of only having touch controls. This title will be a must if they add controller support; in the meantime it’s good, but not living up to its potential.

### 4/5 — Great shooter please add...

*2015-03-23, version 1.29*

Beautiful game, please add controller support 😬

### 4/5 — Beautifully Tough Shoot 'Em Up

*2015-03-12*

I hadn't played this much since I reloaded my 6+ back in Sept '14.  I've recently gotten back into it.  Wow what a heck of a game.  Graphics and gameplay are awesome and yes it is very tough, which gives you that special sense of accomplishment.  There are plenty of control setting options to get reasonably close to good controls...still I took 1 full star off for controls simply because you die too often for no other reason than controls (don't listen to other reviews that say they make the game unplayable - need to tweak the control settings after you play for a while).  But the rest of the game elements more than makes up for the sometimes frustrating controls.
If you like shoot 'em ups then this is a must have at any price.  If you are not a fan of the genre you might be frustrated with the difficulty level in this game.  The visuals are nothing short of spectacular, especially the boss fights.
Note:  you can turn off the dialogue if you don't like hearing the story as you play.  In fact there are quite a few settings to mess with that will improve gameplay.

### 1/5 — Impossible to play on recent iphone

*2022-02-09*

Do not but this game, it is impossible to olay on an iPhone 11 for example. It was meant for iphone 4 résolution and the image only occupy a quarter of the screen! Therefore it is almost impossible to play!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support controllers

*2021-09-14*

This game is amazing. I have played it on a pc for a while and I was so surprised when I found it for iPad. I bought it immediately. But then came the big disappointment of having to play with a virtual controller in the touch screen instead of being able to play with my actual controller. This is a game that requires fine controller input and it becomes incredibly frustrating to play it like that. I would say that the game is simply unplayable with touch screen. It would be a 5 star game if it had controller support. Sad :(

### 1/5 — Controls no good

*2018-07-04, version 1.30*

Controls are no good. Text is very small.
Waste time of 5 quid. Check it out on PS4 or XBone. Feel a bit ripped off!

### 1/5 — Не завлекла

*2016-11-12*

Скучно и однообразно. Графическая составляющая мне понравилась, да и только. Музыка просто фоном висела - ничего выдающегося. Диалоги персонажей неинтересны с первой минуты, пролистываешь мгновенно. Эти истории мы видели\слышали сотни раз - разрабы решили ничего не придумывать. Полеты камеры между боевыми сценами просто достали, дошёл до второй главы и постоянные, повторяющиеся облёты вокруг разных объектов/боссов, мол посмотрите, мы как мы над окружением поработали. Но самое главное меня убило управление. Плохой отклик и дискомфорт особенно в сценах, где требуется показать микро. К тому же картинка развёрнута не на весь экран! Внизу 1/4 экрана занимает полоска управления, как в платформерах - на планшете получается играбельного места маловато - на телефоне, предполагаю, вообще неиграбельно. Причём реального скриншота в описании игры перед покупкой нет. В общем ничем не удивила игруля. Намного комфортнее и веселее было в Airattack 1/2. У меня всё.

### 1/5 — Emperor's New Clothes

*2016-03-07, version 1.30*

Don't see what all the fuss is about. This is a side scroller shooter that does not even use the whole screen. Why are we even playing these kinds of games anymore? A beautiful background is nothing if gameplay is not stimulating and the story line lacks even basic plot integrity. Go and play your way through Galaxy on Fire 2 again and ignore this 1980's rehash dressed up in 21st century graphics. Worse still, this game is dull and uninspiring. What a disappointment.

### 1/5 — Game won't start.

*2015-06-13*

I'm on an iPhone 6+. The game used to work just fine; I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't help. Game was enjoyable back when I could play it! Will gladly change my review once the game is functional again.

### 1/5 — Game quits to home screen...

*2015-05-04, version 1.30*

Since the new update the game quits to the iPhone's home screen while loading!! I'm using a iPhone 6+
Great game otherwise

### 1/5 — Bad controls hurt this game

*2015-03-07, version 1.29*

Graphics are good, lots of action, storyline is besides the point.  The controls are what kills this game.  As it is, it is too expensive and too frustrating to provide much enjoyment--even for shmup fans.

### 1/5 — bad controls

*2015-01-20, version 1.29*

bad controls

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-05-09, version 1.29*

Latest update does not fix the disgustingly bad controls or the big black boarders on the iPad

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-10-07*

Sine Mora is top-notch in every way. The iOS controls work great. The app icon is different from the graphic used in the game’s title screen because the developers want the iOS users to easily remember that Sine Mora is a game with lots of action.

Throughout the game there are many references to the character’s ability to time travel. Time travel is very popular in entertainment of all types but the way it’s used in Sine Mora is very unique and not boring. There is a really complex story that goes along with the action but it is read in between the stages. Speaking of stages, Sine Mora is divided into many of them which you can see blurred out in the stage selection screen right away before you start playing. This means that you won’t have any problem taking a break from the engaging gameplay. There is dialogue between the airplane radios during the levels to make them more enjoyable. The story is incredibly well written from beginning to end and it feels as though it was written by a professional author with all the character’s emotions playing their roles.

Sine Mora is everything anyone could want in a mobile game!

### 5/5 — Love love love this game. Thanks Suda51

*2021-09-15*

This game has one of the best bosses, best gameplay of an airship shootem up game i played since the game 1943, and that was on Capcom Arcade Stadium. If I could create a smash hit acclaimed licened movie, it would be this, imagin Kolobok in live action. I wish there where merchantdice and or action figures of characters and bosses of the game. This hame one of two reasons how a rose became my favorite flower, thank Ruby Rose, RWBY, Rooster Teeth, Monty Omen, Suda51, and this game for my love of roses.

### 5/5 — Would be great to see a recent update that isn’t years ago

*2020-07-30*

IG ave loves this app from the day I got it years and years ago. The Dev may not feel the same seeing as this app has not been shown the love it deserves with recent updates. Just because it still boots up doesn’t mean it is working so great. 

This app had great potential nearly realized then. Now it is potential that needs to be pursued further by the dev. But it would still be far better than some app offerings in the App Store. 

Please update.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2017-06-15*

С большим удовольствием прошел ее на psvita. На айфон купил просто для коллекции. Если есть вита, то лучше конечно же играть на ней

### 5/5 — Bombe atomique

*2017-04-11*

Ce jeu est une tuerie!
Très prenant!
Testé sur ipad pro ios 9.3

### 5/5 — Excellent shooter

*2016-03-26*

Great action, beautiful graphics, and even an intriguing story. And it works perfectly on iOS 9.3.

### 5/5 — Sine Mora - iOS 9.3/iPhone 6S

*2016-03-26*

When I first got this game, I had a 4th gen iPod Touch and an iPad 2. Since, I've sold my iPad and upgraded to an iPhone 5. Moving onto the smaller screen really hurt the amount of enjoyment I got out of the game. But now that I've upgraded to a 6S, I feel like the screen is big enough that I can actually dodge between bullets since they're spread out just a little bit more. That extra .7 inches really makes a difference in shmups. The game runs perfectly fine on my 6S with iOS 9.1.2 and 9.3 (if anyone out there is curious), and this is one of the most graphically intense shoot-em-ups you'll find in the AppStore (even with the diminished graphics compared to other platforms) - as well as one of the most full bodied and challenging. If you can deal with the bottom section of the screen being blocked for button control and don't have a 4 inch device, I'd totally recommend checking this one out, no matter the price (as it's full price of $6 is still almost 50% cheaper than on Steam).

### 5/5 — Очень красивая игрушка +5

*2015-05-04*

Игра бомба ! Графика очень хорошая , так же как и сама игра.

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed this solid arcade style shooter.

*2015-03-13, version 1.29*

Not much else I can say in the comments, just a really solid game! Great graphics, good controls, fun and fast paced.

### 5/5 — Cool Game.

*2014-12-23, version 1.29*

Possibly the weirdest game I have ever played, but also the most fun, with elements of speed boosts, time boosts, and boosts for weapons, it makes this game quick, exiting, and just a good game to waste your time on. Sine Mora is truly a game to play for all gamers.
