Good game

This game is good and has the right amount of difficulty but you have to pay for extra levels after you beat it luckily they arenโ€™t too expensive though

needs update

A bit hard but good

I never stopped die

Could you make It touch screen?

Was a bit annoying how you use buttons. Buttocks

Old school

Love this game. Controls are easy and the game does not seem to be glitchy. I think this game was put together and reminds you of the old school space games

CK/Avenger

Love this game only a beginner but, Iโ€™m learning

First 100 waves r so easy to do it

Used to play on iPhone 6s and bought the additional levels but as soon as I upgraded to 12 pro max , app is asking money again. It supposed to be free when I already bought the level just changed the phone but iCloud Iโ€™d is the same. Did it happens to anybody else or itโ€™s just me. I really miss the additional waves but wonโ€™t buy it again.

Space Cadet

Space Cadet is so good and awesome because itโ€™s very easy , sometimes there are very hard levels but you get through it . Like how Wave 5 was so hard it took me 1 hour to get through the level . Itโ€™s so amazing , and you should rent it . You have to try this . Itโ€™s so good .

Collision and control.

The game is very nice graphics wise , controls pretty much do what they want and the enemyโ€™s bullets zap you even though theyโ€™ve missed you by a mile

Endless Wave

I never use special weapons, except for maxed out missiles, on the actual levels. You do need certain things in order to do well and you can sit on a lucrative level to attain needed upgrades although it is very tedious...but doable.
Itโ€™s the endless wave section. Even with all upgrades I canโ€™t get over 20,000 points. Maxed out special weapons and all other Max upgrades wonโ€™t do it mainly because the energy regeneration rate, even maxed out, is way too slow to support special weapons effectively. Recon is great because regen rate has a supercharge option and is much faster. So trying to get a high score here is virtually impossible without a faster energy regeneration rate. A supercharge option would solve this, but otherwise itโ€™s really not worth it.

Response from developer

Yes, level 46 is one of the hardest levels to pass in the game. However, we did make it so that you can pass it without buying any extra medals. There are some tricks to passing it. We figured it's much more satisfying if there are some challenges once in a while. Here is one strategy that most use. 1. Make sure you start with a full bar of energy, play the level multiple times just dodging and dying till you have a full energy bar. 2. Try and save up enough medals so that you can re-charge your energy bar multiple times during the level. To do this pause the game, go to upgrades and buy a full energy bar. 3. With all this energy use the reflective shield special weapon. 4. By doing this and a little trial and error and good maneuvering you can pass the level. Good luck, Thanks for playing Space Cadet.

Great game for kids!

It takes both my 5 years old to play this but they love it!

Great retro game

We all need more games like this. Very fun.

not bad but upgrades required

I like this game to be honest it fun and cool but on some levels u need like a specific upgrade that is kinda expensive so u basically canโ€™t beat the level for a while. But overall nice game๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Brilliant game

Didn't spend any additional money
Great way to pass time

Good game

Lol

Good for a flash game...

But frankly I think you can do better, you draw inspiration from classic Atari games such as space invaders. Not once did you try to pressure me with pop ups in game o give you a 5 star review or buy coins. Which is the kind of thing more developers need to do on the app stores.

But letโ€™s move onto flaws, i noticed hit detection can be spotty, almost like your ships hurtbox is larger than you can visibly see. Also it lacks significant story, I did not feel much draw to continue(level 46 and counting btw).

Overall in my rating system I this game as A tier. I will keep an eye on you and hope for improvement in the future.
