### 2/5 — Movimiento incomodo

*2020-02-20, version 1.0*

Es el juego que mas me gustaba cuando era pequeño, me a encantado poder encontrarle aquí pero hay una pequeña pega......de alguna manera podríais cambiar el manejo del muñeco? Es muy difícil de dirigirlo...quizás podría ser por movimiento del dedo y no ir buscando las flechas para poder manejarlo, seria lo mejor para que el juego sea perfecto, gracias.

### 2/5 — No control!

*2020-01-17, version 1.0*

Beautiful game, reminding me when I was 17...
Kindly improve controls as the game is impossible to play with the present ones, especially when snobees get angry and run faster..... Many thanks

### 2/5 — Controls need to be fixed.

*2020-01-02, version 1.0*

Sadly the controls are not responsive and it makes for a frustrating time to play.  I hope you fix it.

### 2/5 — Un classico degli anni ‘80

*2019-11-19, version 1.0*

Migliorabile. Poco governabile con i comandi. Belli i ricordi comunque, grazie.

### 3/5 — Sno bees / pengo

*2019-08-26, version 1.0*

This is graphically exactly like the Atari 5200 version music and all sounds.  The control needs to be tweaked.  The pad joystick is much better than the Nintendo style that is the default.  You need to be able to save which control pad you want.  I have to start the game then pause it and change to other control.  It should keep which ever pad you choose until you change it.  Pengo was one of my favorite games in the arcade and on the Atari 8 bit computers and the Atari 5200 which are identical.  Please fix the controls and you will have a 5 star game!

### 1/5 — まともに動かない

*2026-05-21, version 1.6*

昔ゲーセンでよくやっていたので懐かしくてインストールしたみたものの、レバー操作が非常に操作しにくく、PENGOがまったく思ったように動かせなかった。

### 1/5 — Ugh!!!!

*2026-02-07, version 1.3*

Seriously, stop using 4-way controllers, give us true support for 8 way in the game.  These games were good in the 80s (This one was my favorite back then), but almost 40 years later you might as well not even bother recreating these things like this.

Oh and this game is called Pengo, so it is likely violating some company IP somewhere.

### 1/5 — 至急改善を！

*2024-10-13, version 1.0*

皆さん書いてますが、十字ボタンの操作性、ホントそれ一択で改善お願いします！これ、操作普通にスムーズに出来てたら感動して泣いてたと思う。

### 1/5 — 操作性が最悪

*2024-07-06, version 1.0*

このゲームは約40年前にゲームセンターで流行ったゲームで、大変懐かしくてやってみましたが、十字キーによる操作が困難で、ゲームの楽しさよりも思った通りに動かないストレスの方が大きくて、削除しました。

### 1/5 — 十字ボタンの操作性が

*2024-03-29, version 1.0*

十字ボタンの反応が悪くゲームにならない。
せっかく素晴らしい内容のゲームなのに残念。

### 1/5 — 仮想ゲームパッドの位置が最悪

*2023-05-22, version 1.0*

ボタンの設置位置が端に寄りすぎていて触りにくい！
特に方向キーの触りにくさは最悪で動かしづらいため操作の難易度がヤバくてゲームの難易度に関わらずやられてしまう。
製作者はテストプレイもしてないのか？もししていたのだったら疑問を持たなかったのだろうか？
遊ぶ以前の問題だったので本当は星なんてあげたくありませんがレビューの使用上仕方がないので1つだけあげます。

### 1/5 — Classic Pengo! But too clunky to be fun

*2019-08-16, version 1.0*

I wanted to love this because of the nostalgia for the original pengo game on Atari, but the controls are unresponsive. Game is overall so clunky that it’s more frustrating than fun

### 2/5 — No hay forma de mover ágilmente

*2023-04-19, version 1.0*

El mando para controlar Pengo es FATAL!
Es un gran juego pero con el mando actual no se puede jugar.
Uso iPhone y no reacciona bien para los movimientos. Por favor arreglarlo y tendrá 5 estrellas ⭐️

### 2/5 — Directional Controls Are Awful

*2020-07-09, version 1.0*

Pengo is probably my favorite arcade game, so I love that it’s available via mobile, but the directional controls are awful and unresponsive. I feel like I can never get the character to go into the direction I want on the first try. It makes the game very frustrating. If these were fixed, I’d play this game all the time!

### 2/5 — Controller doesn’t work

*2020-03-28, version 1.0*

I love this game. It reminds me when i was a kid in the 80s. Can you guys work on the direction controller because it doesn’t work well

### 5/5 — Please add controller support

*2026-06-09, version 1.6.1*

I've been playing this game since I was a child. I want to enjoy playing it using a controller from now on.

### 5/5 — Pure nostalgia!

*2024-09-28, version 1.0*

So, you’ve just taken me back 42 years to when I was 10 years old and experienced it in the arcades… I wasn’t very good at it then and am still not great at it now, but it brings back lots of wonderful memories of playing it.

One request - the controls are really difficult — can you enable compatibility with a game-controller please? Would make it an awfully lot more responsive!

### 5/5 — Jugar con mando

*2023-12-20, version 1.0*

Habría alguna opción de que se pudiera jugar con mando?.
Es compatible el de la ps4?.
Muchas gracias

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-06-09, version 1.0*

It’s a perfect version of this brilliant game! I wrote a review earlier about the controls but I’ve just came across the joystick mode and it’s perfect! Thanks for this game - I love it

### 5/5 — Recordando la niñez

*2020-08-27, version 1.0*

Jugaba muchísimo, siempre que pudiera conseguir 25 pesetas
Era de los pocos juegos de recreativos que se me daban bien
Manejarlo en la táctil es difícil
Quizá con un mando bluetooth mejoraría

### 5/5 — Cambio de mandos

*2019-09-16, version 1.0*

Podrían cambiar los mandos para manejarlo con la derecha, y el disparo con la izquierda. Muchas gracias

### 4/5 — ちょいちょい

*2025-10-24, version 1.3*

昔大好きでゲームセンターでよく遊びました
再生度が高くて感動しました
レバーとボタンで遊んでたのとは違いやりにくいですけどそこはしょうがないかな😅
そしてちょいちょい固まります
改善お願いします

### 4/5 — Agrandar el mando

*2021-07-24, version 1.0*

Me he dejado horas y horas cundo era chiquillo con este juego y es una delicia volverlo a encontrar por aquí. Solo que les agradecería que el mando fuera más fácil de manejar ya que al ser muy pequeño se hace muy difícil jugarlo con la pantalla táctil. Por lo demás gracias al creador y le apoyaré viendo los os vídeos y comerciales al completo para que pueda cobrar más, se lo merece 😉.

### 4/5 — Good emulation

*2021-03-06*

Good copy of the 1983 Sega Pengo arcade game.  Love the music and dances between levels, gameplay good with a few small differences.  Joystick tricky on a phone but works with practice. Well done!

### 3/5 — Pengo and Snow Bees

*2023-01-24, version 1.0*

No joystick support left me broken hearted.  I was really looking forward to playing this.  Screen controls never do these games justice.
