Now it unfortunately crashes in the beginning ### 3/5 — Crashing and not my fault 😅 *2024-12-07, version 1.4.5* Hi, Game keeps crashing on easy mode at end of level 24. I have looked for updates but no joy. Otherwise fun game ### 2/5 — Mission critical bugs prevent enjoying an otherwise great game *2024-11-29* Whenever I have to power off my phone and turn it back on, the game upon loading asks me which save to use. I select the option for the latest file, but it ends up deleting it anyway on load up. Making me start over each time. It also freezes on successful completion of the boss on snow level (I think it’s level 30-something). I’ve followed Netflix instructions to hard restart the phone (power off/on) but run into the same retaining save issue. ### 3/5 — Crash *2024-11-27* Game crashes on certain levels like 41 ### 3/5 — Se borran los datos guardados *2024-11-15* El juego es muy bueno pero me ha pasado que se me han borrado los datos en dos ocasiones teniendo que empezar de cero, es una pena por que el juego está tremendo, quisiera saber si hay forma de recuperar los datos. ### 4/5 — Fun but can't always win *2024-06-05* I too have destroyed level 13 on hard many times not letting more than a couple enemies escape and i don't get the 75% kill reward. ### 3/5 — 3 play throughs per level *2024-05-09, version 1.3.7* Fun game but seriously, don’t make me play each level 3 times to get 3 stars. If I complete the hard level missions, just give me 3 stars up front. Gets tedious and is making me consider deleting the game which I’m sure is not what you want if you’re trying to retain my Netflix subscription ### 4/5 — Fun game, some control options would be cool *2024-02-28* Reminds me of skyforce, I love these games so much. Love the art style, and characters! My only hang up is I like when the plane follows my finger exactly, like other games similar. ### 3/5 — Great Game, Poor Controls *2024-02-08* Satisfying shoot em up action and beautiful pixel graphics brought down by poor controls. This being a mobile game, it’s baffling that you have to hold down a finger just to keep shooting, auto fire should be on by default. Movement just doesn’t feel good, it feels very loose and it doesn’t help that the game also wants you to flick back and forth to dodge attacks. ### 3/5 — Joguinho bacana *2024-01-21* Pra quem gosta de jogo de nave (shmup), vai se divertir muito. Os gráficos são muito bonitos, misturando explosões em alta definição e personagens e cenários em 16 bits. A trilha sonora é ótima! Esse jogo foi uma grande surpresa. Até agora gostei bastante. Falta avaliar o suporte a controles. Edit: estou retirando duas estrelas porque percebi que a proporção do jogo muda do iPhone para o iPad. No iPhone, você não consegue ver a largura do cenário todo e precisa ficar ziguezagueando para encontrar todos os itens e inimigos. No iPad, a experiência é muito mais confortável, pois você vê o cenário todo. Deveria haver a opção de alterar a proporção no iPhone, mesmo que os elementos fiquem um pouco menores. Da forma como está, o jogo cria uma dificuldade artificial e gera frustração desnecessária. ### 2/5 — Its a good beta test game *2023-12-30, version 1.3.7* Game is good enough but must be in beta testing still. Daily rewards “get claimed” but don't actually go into inventory to be able to spend on upgrades. Power ups in-game might work but they don't change the look of shooting so you're not sure what you have. Devs obviously have never made this style of game before but its off to a good start. ### 2/5 — Unfinished and buggy upgrade system *2023-11-06* Finished the game, but still there are some planes, weapons, & items missing. Upgrading weapons has no impact on damage or any other spec. Sometimes the damage even goes down on upgrading. ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-08-27, version 1.3.5* I like this game but lots of annoying design choices. When trying to get 3 stars on levels you always have to sit through the story intros. Gets pretty annoying when you are trying the same levels over and over again. Also I wish you could customise the controls more. ### 3/5 — blind me *2023-07-11* ridiculous retina detaching themes & I play with a stupid homebar. why do you think you're better and above game center??? ### 4/5 — Awesome *2023-04-13* Awesome shoot em up. The animation is amazing and so beautiful. Smooth frame rate and, great color, awesome pixel look during gameplay. You got upgrades and side weapons, abilities and power ups. There's a lot of good stuff in this game. I love it. But I am very very annoyed by the all the dialogue that pop up during gameplay. I mostly ignore it though cos I'm trying to dodge bullets and shoot enemies(actual voice dialogue would be nice so I wouldn't have to read while playing a ShootEmUp). The dialogue box also pushes your plane up a bit higher on the screen. I also expected this game to work with a controller. Cos it's pretty difficult to see most of the screen playing with your thumb or finger. There is a lot going on in all stages. It's confusing to tell what it is you need to shoot and dodge cos of how much is going on. So much animation is just overwhelming. I still like the game. It's really fun. But all busy distracting animation is really the biggest issue for me. ### 4/5 — Unfinished *2023-03-21* It’s a pretty fun game, but it’s lacking. It feels like they just stopped working on it at a point. I also have a quibble with the upgrades. Usually in games like this it’s clear what different items will do for you, and which one is the actual upgrade. Not so with this one. ### 4/5 — Highly quality… needs a final polish *2023-03-13, version 1.0.19* This is a great shmup for iOS. Good variety in missions, challenge is interesting, music and art are pleasing. The story and characters are placeholder but the tone is right. Some issues: - It would be nice if the lengthy intro and outro to each mission could be skipped, or were eliminated after clear. - the falling hazards (trees, ice pillars, etc) aren’t the easiest to see. So you end up hugging the bottom of the screen on some missions. - can you get the 3rd star in mission 13? I think the 75% clear rates are wrong in more than a few missions. - It seems hard if not impossible to stay about 75% health in some blizzard missions (I could be wrong on this, maybe I haven’t found the right load out). Hopefully this game is updated to perfection. I shall return. ### 3/5 — Some levels have bugs where you can’t achieve stars *2023-03-11* On Hard for levels 13, 33, 35, 36, 47, balerion, and haku are the only ones with no way to win. All but one of the above are 75% enemies to get a star. I have played so much i have the highest maxed out plane, pilots, and bombs. I count how many objects are seen in a round and lay it to waste- worms, missiles, and any enemies. I have maybe 2 objects escaped as the rounds are memorized… well above 75%. In round 13 i scored 13,000,000 points and still have not enough for 75%. On level 47 chase i have verified i am getting all the coins. I even sweep to the edges to die looking for some “random coin” that might be off the screen- it doesn’t exist. I used the damage magnet item to help look for it. No joy. Balerion I got all the coins and none of the awards paid out. Haku literally has no win as you can’t possibly get all the coins even if you play perfectly (big long wall where coins would not be reachable. Please fix these levels! ### 4/5 — Great game! *2023-03-03, version 1.0.19* Great SHMUP. Just wish there was a way to have binus weapons (bombs and shields for example) on the same side of the screen (left for my because I'm right handed)... At the moment playing on an iPad makes activating one and manoeuvring at the same time really difficult. ### 4/5 — Great game *2023-02-27, version 1.0.19* …except for a bug that’s not increasing the strength of most of the weapons when you upgrade them. I’m stuck using the same guns from early in the game, as they’re the only ones that are upgradable. I want to keep playing this game and trying different combinations of weapons, but I can’t. Please fix!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes at end of stage 24 *2024-12-08* I’ve turned off my device. Reloaded the app. Done everything they suggest. Still no go ### 1/5 — Jogo quebrado *2024-11-26* Jogo legal mas crasha no lvl 24 ### 1/5 — Overproduced in all the wrong ways *2024-07-01* I’m assuming you were trying to appeal to kids with this? I can’t imagine kids would find this less fun if there weren’t dancing bunnies and animal characters. You could have made a decent plane shooter, but you made something only kids too young to play will like. ### 1/5 — Deleted all my progress randomly *2023-01-03, version 1.0.19* Honestly fun game until it randomly deleted all my progress, not sure why or what happened 🤷🏻‍♂️ Unfortunately not worth downloading it in that state. ### 1/5 — constant crash *2022-11-30, version 1.0.16* cannot complete a single level, keeps on freezing. ### 1/5 — Nivel 17-2 *2022-11-19* No se si es un bug o una mala traducción pero dice “ no toque los lados “ ya pase el nivel sin tocar nada y no me lo toma como buena. Alguna sugerencia ?? ### 1/5 — Can’t play without a Netflix account *2022-11-15, version 1.0.16* Can’t play without a Netflix account ### 1/5 — Another game you need a Netflix a/c to play *2022-11-14, version 0.1.0* What a con. Why is it on the AppStore if you need to subscribe to a separate movie & tv service to play it?! I don’t want Netflix movies or tv programmes so I’m effectively banned from trying this game even though it’s on the Apple AppStore?!! ### 1/5 — It sucked *2022-11-05, version 0.1.0* First couple of minutes the game kept on crashing screw you guys! Do not get ### 2/5 — Si blocca al livello 23 *2024-11-30* Il gioco è davvero divertente e ben fatto peccato che dopo avere sconfitto il boss del 23esimo livello il gioco si blocchi e non faccia più continuare. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Help! *2025-02-12* Love the game, great shoot em up with beautiful pixel graphics and lost’s of customisation options. My phone ran out of power. I started the game again and was asked to choose either a local save file from feb 12 20:52 pm or the cloud save. I choose local and now all my progress is gone 😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — 5 Star *2025-01-01, version 1.4.6* Amazing fun shooter one of the best on IOS ### 5/5 — Outstanding design and fun play *2024-12-12* Beautiful pixel art. Fun gameplay. The leveling progressions and rewards are great. It makes me feel nostalgic for the snes era of games. I can tell a lot of time, thought, and effort went into this. ### 5/5 — Sehr geil *2024-07-01* Gameplay macht spaß und die mini games sind auch top Einzige was mich stört das ich nicht unter den top 2 im Fußball minispiel angezeigt werde ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-12-30, version 1.3.7* Such an awesome 1943-esque game! Love the art style, music and feel. It has a bit of Starfox vibe to it with the characters. Love it! ### 5/5 — Au top ! *2023-12-28* Très bon jeu ### 5/5 — Great game! *2022-12-26, version 1.0.19* Finally! A high quality game! It is really fun to play! I read from another review that the cutscenes were unskippable but in the version I am playing you can skip them with the X button on the top right side of the screen. I think the devs taked the time to read your feedback and improve the game. It easily deserves 5 ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Love Death & Robots *2022-11-25* Other than the funtaztic time i am haveing with your Teams cool action packed Shmup... You folks seriously need your own ep or your own show with those amazing cutscenes, sound efx & music. How do we get this started so y'all can be in season four? ### 5/5 — BANGER! 🔥🔥 *2022-11-18* This is such a cool and fun game, it truly shows a lot of effort went into it. Art, Sound Design / Soundtrack and Gameplay, everything in this game is amazinggg!! 🤯 ### 5/5 — Super fun game *2022-11-16* Great game, fun and entertaining! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
