### 4/5 — Need more than one turn.

*2025-09-30, version 2.3.4*

I enjoy the game, it reminds me of one of my favorites. I also like the watch version. However, and it’s a big one, I would like more turns before “game over”. Most games give you three tries before ending the game. This would make the game more fun.

### 4/5 — Need more than one life

*2023-02-22, version 2.2*

Impressed the way it looks and plays. Reminds me of all those times playing Tempest and Galaga in the arcades in the 80’s. BUT, with only a single life it loses its allure rather quickly. We grew up with 3 lives and an extra life when getting to a certain score or level, which game theory suggests it makes us come back for more. Unfortunately with one life I never played again after an hour. So a big star off for that, almost dropped to a 3, but an update with my suggestion would be a solid 5. Graphics look great on the Ultra and game play is solid. Gimme some lives!

### 1/5 — Freezes after first Boss

*2026-08-01, version 2.4*

I really enjoyed the 5 mins I got to play it on my watch before it froze after the first boss fight and made it unplayable, until a fix comes would not recommend paying for it.

### 1/5 — Not Free!!!

*2026-01-19, version 2.3.5*

They charged me when I was trying to demo the app, that’s an unauthorized purchase! Do not get!

### 1/5 — crashes  way too much

*2025-02-26, version 2.3.2*

I would give this game much higher score cause it is a fun game, but it crashes way too much!

### 1/5 — Space crash

*2025-02-03*

they should rename this game "Spacecrashing" because it crashes way too much. It’s almost unplayable.

### 1/5 — help

*2020-05-28, version 2.1.5*

i don’t like giving a bad review rather just stay silent but i can’t with this game cause it will not install. i would like to try this game out but unfortunately it will not install on my
series 5 watch.
😞

### 2/5 — No control of ship

*2026-06-03, version 2.4*

I can’t seem to control the ship.  It’s not responsive to finger control but flies non-stop in whatever direction I try to steer. Hopefully there’s a trick to that I can figure out.

### 2/5 — Need more lives

*2025-12-30, version 2.3.4*

This is a great little game for Apple Watch, but it’s 100% hampered by only having one life instead of three. You could also have some 1up ships to capture that give you +1 life (optional) but for heavens sake at least give us more lives to start. It makes a great game into a complete bore after a short time. Please look at your reviews and see how many people have asked for this feature.

### 2/5 — Not worth a buck

*2020-10-11, version 2.1.7*

Looks like a child programmed this game.

### 2/5 — How to play?

*2019-12-11, version 2.0*

So how do I play the game?  After install (which now it say purchased), there’s no indications anywhere on the iPhone nor on the watch...no new icons, etc?!?!

### 3/5 — Decent Version Of Tempest

*2023-01-03, version 2.1.9*

I’ve been looking far n wide for Mac/IOS version of Tempest. This game is very good. I’d give it 5 stars if there were versions for Mac and/or iPad. Big thing missing is iPhone version won’t play in landscape mode, no hapt reaction feature, and just the same circular playing field unlike the old arcade version. Glad this game exists but wish a more fully featured version could be developed, especially for Apple Arcade. Happy New Year!

### 5/5 — C

*2025-03-14, version 2.3.2*

This game is a game of the week for me and my friends who have played it and are enjoying it as much as they can today but it’s still not as good as it can be

### 5/5 — Auf der Watch mein Lieblingsspiel

*2023-04-27*

Schöner Zeitvertreib auf der Watch und wirklich im direkten Vergleich zum Rest der Watchgames gut steuerbar

### 5/5 — The perfect game

*2019-12-13, version 2.0*

I absolutely love this game. I play when I’m in the bathroom or when I need a little break from work sometimes. Love the way the game was set up, very fun.

### 5/5 — What a fun game!

*2019-12-12, version 2.0*

This game has a great, innovative use of the watch crown to make a fun game. I didn't think games could be well adapted to the watch but this app does it well.

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2019-11-05, version 1.3*

A nice little time waster

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-10-27, version 1.3*

Just wished you can control the sensitivity of the dial.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2019-10-26, version 1.3*

Thanks for developing what looks to be a nice and addictive game.

### 5/5 — Great Game, Wish the Scroll was Faster

*2019-10-15, version 1.2*

:)

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-10-14, version 1.2*

I will have loads of fun ignoring all my work and playing this instead!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-10-14, version 1.2*

It’s simply a great game and it brings me back to arcade style games design wise. I would recommend it for sure.
