### 4/5 — I’ve been playing this for 4 years

*2026-08-18, version 3.3.5*

First time playing this game was in prison and  I’m still playing now that I’m free

### 4/5 — Skip Ads: Optional Purchase

*2025-11-02, version 3.3.0*

This is an excellent game is very well put together, my only complaint and reason for giving it only four stars is that there should be an option in the store to purchase a “skip ads” package. That would allow you to skip the ads for your angel wings, a trial ship run, and for double coins at the end of a stage. It does need a few more purchasing options and packages for people who want to or like to spend money on the game, otherwise a very solid game and five star worthy!!

### 5/5 — Melhor game de nave

*2023-02-14, version 3.2.10*

O game é muito bom. Curti bastante. Só fiquei decepcionado pelo falo de eu não conseguir carregar os dados salvos das outras vezes que joguei. Perdi todo o meu progresso…
Como gosto do game, vou recomeçar…
Mas é chato perder seus dados

*2022-04-21, version 3.1.6*

新しいバージョンになったタイミングで
ゲームスタートしなくなりました。
再インストールしたので、今までのデータが消えましたが、他の対処法があったのでしょうか？

### 5/5 — My favorite so far !

*2022-04-20, version 3.1.6*

Only issue I wish you creators do is make it far enough to get the fighter plains instead of buying also fixing the save data when you try to save it and reload the data of progress when playing and last but not least make if sure it stays updated cuz android has more updates then iPhone version some weird reason

### 4/5 — Needs update for other things

*2022-03-22, version 3.0.7*

But still love the game

### 5/5 — Keeps me coming back to play!

*2022-03-18, version 3.0.7*

I've been gaming since 1982. Shoot 'em ups are my favorite genre, and this game doesn't disappoint. The developer's love for shmups shines through in every facet. Finely balanced difficulty, addictive upgrade system, responsive control, retro voxel graphics, and great sound effects. The only thing that would've made it better would be some vintage-style chip tunes for a soundtrack. I've been playing this game since 2019. It's on all my devices.

### 5/5 — 100/200.

*2022-03-02, version 3.0.7*

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!! KEEP UPDATING IT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

### 5/5 — Сама игра топ

### 5/5 — The greatest Space Shooter available in 2021

*2021-11-06, version 3.0.7*

I have been playing Space Shooters since 1981 Galaxians , Galaga, Gyruss and more , I’ve downloaded probably over 100 of these type of games and installed them from the App Store they have all disappointed pretty much some come close but this is the only one that I have actually spent money on and I’m happy that I have and I’m addicted to this game it is not a repetitive game at all it’s always changing there’s so many different bosses  and so many ships and aliens of all shapes and sizes to shoot and it’s perfectly paced,  the music is incredibly awesome ,like the 80s ,rad this is really really a great well made imaginative perfect Space Shooter.

*2025-01-04, version 3.2.10*

Such a shame

### 1/5 — Purchase Erased?

*2021-08-27, version 3.0.5*

I previously purchased the unlimited sky wings for $4.99 IAP and in the new build it’s completely gone. I no longer have it. It’s not even available in the shop. I tapped the restore button and it didn’t work. This needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — ?

파리지옥 구매했는데 장착안되는데 어떻게해야하죠?

### 5/5 — 新要素が欲しい…

*2024-12-28, version 3.2.10*

ゲーム自体は楽しくて、強制広告もゲーム開いた時に2秒くらいで消せる広告以外なく、とても良心的です。

 グラフィックも綺麗で、BGMも数種類しかないのですがいい雰囲気です。

 最初こそ敵の弾幕が弱すぎて大丈夫かな…？となりましたが、進めていくと敵の攻撃も多種多様になり結構当たってしまうくらいに、体感できるレベルで難易度の上昇も感じれました。 

 ただ、ちょっとモチベーションが続きにくいです。

 こちら側の強化は大量のコインが必要な割に微々たる効果しかないのですが、敵はどんどん固くなっていきます。

 新しい機体を解放するのにも結構コインが必要で、(ガシャを引いてかけらを集めて解放する感じ)何機か低ランクの機体を解放できたところでそこまで強いわけでもないのでちまちま攻撃力を上げるしかないです。 

 それにダメージ表記などがないのでさらに新機体の強さが分かりずらく、さっき書いた通り新機体の解放は大変なのでそこも悲しいです。 

 さらに全機体が(体験用マップで)体験プレイ可能なので、自分は今は我慢できてますが強い機体がどんな感じか見たらもういいやってなってしまう人も多いと思います。(でも良心的な仕様だから難しい…)

 また全75ステージと、やりこんだところですぐに終わってしまうのもやる気が削がれます。(一応それぞれ難しい難易度も用意されてますが、敵が固くなるだけです) 

 なので要望として、敵からのドロップやガシャを使った装備システムなどの別枠の強化要素や、新ステージの追加やよりゲームを続けられるようなやり込み要素などが欲しいです。(ただアプデ履歴を見た限り最終アプデが1年前、新要素を追加しているアプデが2年前なのでレビューが見られるか怪しいですが…)

今まで遊んだSTGの中で一番楽しかったので、ぜひアップデートをお願いしたいです。
(特に背景の作り込みやボスのデザインなど他に見ない良さで本当に好きです。)

 最初書いた通りゲームは楽しいです。 最初のうちは敵が弱くて戦闘が退屈になり、よりやる気をなくすようなところに目が行きがちになってしまったのですが、ステージ6あたりから結構敵の弾幕が激しくなってきて楽しくなってきます。 

 また、機体の強化費用はガンガン上がっていきますが新しい機体を解放するためのガチャに必要なコインは固定で、ステージが進めばコインの取得量も増えていくので、頑張ればかけらの必要数の多い強い機体も解放できるかも…と希望が見えるのもやる気に繋がります。(それでも大変ですが…) 

 長くなってしまいましたが、素晴らしいゲームだと思うので気になっているならやってみるべきだと思います。

### 5/5 — Nice game!

*2024-06-22, version 3.2.10*

Love the little gimmick of airplanes being based on flowers, the difficulty is not too hard, the 8-graphic is nice to look at, and accompanied by soundtrack, make it a chill and fun experience

### 5/5 — Great space shooter

*2024-05-20, version 3.2.10*

Great space shooter, one of the best I tried. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Pas mal du tout

*2024-02-23, version 3.2.10*

Bon jeu qui permet de jouer sans se ruiner. 
Pas mal d’options à utiliser gratuitement. 
Franchement… réglo le jeu!

### 5/5 — Gráficos muito legais

*2024-02-15, version 3.2.10*

O jogo é divertido e tem sua própria temática de gráficos, que distaca ele dos demais que parecem todos iguais

### 5/5 — 근래 해본 게임중 최고

*2023-12-26, version 3.2.10*

굉장히 잘만든 게임,   
광고와 과금 유도가 정신없긴 하지만 게임자체는 잘만든 게임.

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-11-07, version 3.2.10*

This game is lots of fun and very entertaining!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excelente!!!

*2023-03-09, version 3.2.10*

Tudo que busco num Shooter: jogabilidade, upgrades, música de qualidade e efeitos bem produzidos! Além do cenario de fundo 3D. Ser um pixel art só adicionou à qualidade ótima do jogo! Parabéns!!
