WTH !!???
Bought this with the understanding that it would be HD and would fill the screen on my iPad. Boy was I wrong ,this is exactly the same version as the one I downloaded and bought years ago, (non hd) and it’s the same thing. The only difference is that the clock and the date of the device is hidden now… You’re charging me five dollars for that?Requesting a refund from the App Store right now,delete!

Dude… Dude! I mean, kinda heartbreaking…
One can’t even get past the first challenge, even if one has been able to get pretty far on Dragon’s Layer (from the same developer / publisher). Yeah, I know I’m old and don’t have the reflexes that I did can when these games were in their original laserdisc form in the arcades, but I’m also old enough to know when an app is totally buggy and in a way that can be discerned within just a couple minutes or two of initial gameplay. Bummer.

Much Loved
This game created many fun times at the arcade when I was young and it’s a blast to still be playing it near the end :D
Needs update for latest iPad
Needs update for latest iPad 12.9.
Plays Terrible Don’t Buy
Ever since this latest update, they’ve removed key things. The ability to change the control size and switch from left to right. Also if you set the controls to no hints the movement displays disappear and you can’t play. The classic arcade screen is extremely terrible and unnecessary. I’ve had these on my iPad for over 3 years and loved them but since the update I’ve deleted all of them. If I could get a refund I would but instead I’d warn everyone don’t get it till they fix these issues.

Since recent update DONT WORK
iPad 2 worked beautifully until the recent update. No controls, screen shrunk, no sound sometimes. Why don't they fix it. It worked to well before. Dragons Lair is the same crap too since the update. Don't buy game is broken
Update
This app needs updating and mfi joystick controls!
PLEASE UPDATE FOR IPAD PRO!!!
I had this for my older iPad and It worked flawlessly but now that I have the pro,I won't even get 30 seconds into the game before It crashes on me.😔😩😭
Great Game, will it get updated?
Great classic game done well for the iPad. Will it be updated for iOS 11? I sure hope so.
Well done!
Awesome game, animations are brilliant. The cartoon artistry is simply amazing. Love it. Play it over and over and then increase difficulty and it gets challenging 😀😀👍👍👍👍great work guys👏💪👍
Can't work properly
This was an incredible game that my older brother and I would spend countless hours playing! Yet, Apple and their infinite wisdom have patched their OS and now the game doesn't play. Save your money til this gets fixed or find it in an old arcade if they still exist.
Problem
Love the game however its quitting when i’m starting the game. i’m using an iPad Air 2 128gb.
Rebooted, deleted app and reinstalled.. same problem. Incompatible with iOS 8.4.1?
Please fix this ASAP.

Great Game ... But Crashes Now.
I like this game a lot ... But after the last IOS update it crashes and is unplayable.
Bad news
I hate to tell you all, but since the iPad's last OS upgrade as of June 2015 it would seem that Space Ace HD no longer works on the current iPad setup. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it hasn't helped. And I have had no response from Digital Lesiure on fixing it. Save your money and don't bother.

without any sound
Downloaded for the iPad. The game works without any audio. Other content works with audio on the iPad. I even tried to reset my device without any luck.
Good game but crashes randomly
It has been crashing randomly and I have iPad mini 2 it is an amazing game though
Love these type of games
I'm giving -3 stars because there is no movie option at the end. In Dragon's lair, after you beat it, you unlock the option to watch the whole game instead of playing it. Why does this game not have that? Half the time I miss the cool animations because I'm so concentrated on making the right maneuver. These games are beautiful. I wanna watch them!

This is it❗️😀👍
Back in the 80's, there were several exceptional video games in the arcades; Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Cliff Hanger.
Those were my top favorite laserdisc video games.
Of those three, Space Ace was the top game for being the only one that offers the player choices throughout the game.
For example, you may be flying your ship and you see two different paths.
Another example is when it's time to energize (if you pay attention to the on-screen visuals, you may notice another path flash brightly offering an alternative choice).
Over the decades, I have owned several different versions of this game.
This game; Space Ace HD for the iPad is the most accurate game of them all. It feels like I am finally playing the arcade authentic version of this classic.
The controls are spot on accurate and I just love hearing the beeps (other versions altered the beep tones), but this is the authentic and most accurate version ever made!
Be sure to set the lives to unlimited so you can relax and enjoy the pleasure of relearning how to master the correct moves and timing.
One word of advice, just because you see an arrow flash does not mean you need to move in that particular direction!
Experiment, experiment, experiment!
On the final boss battle, I completely avoided energizing until I reached a point in the battle were energizing was no longer an option. Instead of a death scene, Dexter energized into Ace!
Every scene from the arcade original is here!
This is what you expect when you buy this game.
If the reason you're reading this review is because you see a price tag, fear not; you get the real game!
This was the first app I purchased for my brand new iPad Air 2 and I am highly satisfied with my choice.

Meh
Fun graphics but doesn't age well.
Finally done right!
I loved this game in the arcade, and this is the first version since that gives you all three difficulty levels to play since the original arcade game. I saw some people complaining that it's to easy to win and too short. The game comes set on the easiest level and the hints (move guide) are turned on. If you go into the settings and turn off the hints (move guide), then the arrow keys won't light up making it easy to play. Anyone can play with cheats and finish quickly. The challenge is to play at the Ace level with no hints and then tell me how long it takes to play! Great game, and one of the first where you are playing an actual animated cartoon. The game plays great on the new iOs8 system too! Don Bluth is still the master of hand-drawn animation!
