### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-02*

The game ist perfekt made and everyone should have downloaded the game ist very very fun & good but, not for photosensitive people

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing! 
Enjoy the journey of gaming's evolution since 1978!

### 5/5 — Please port this game to modern consoles/PC

*2026-06-15*

I need somebody over there to see this, and I'm going to word this in a specific way for a specific reason: From the context of my request, you can tell how I feel about this game. PLEASE release this game for consoles, or even just on PC. Even if it can only be the base Infinity Gene released on older consoles nearly a decade and a half ago. I need this game to be more accessible to modern platforms to any degree. I beg of you Taito.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your continued support of this title. While I cannot make any promises at this time, I will consider it positively.

### 4/5 — Best video game sequel ever

*2026-06-07, version 1.5.2*

OMG THIS IS the best video game sequel I’ve ever seen but there’s only one problem 6-4 is really hard but in a fun way my favorite thing is how OP search is it does so much damage but it has horrible aim at the same time it’s perfectly balanced also this game is cool

### 4/5 — This game is a almost perfect remake of the original but music mode is missing :(

*2026-06-06*

this game takes me back to when I used to watch gameplays of it but I never got to play the 3d levels myself, I love that I can finally play the 3d levels,. Can you please add back music mode? I would love play whatever I want while playing this game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing our previous game!

We apologize, but due to the increasing popularity of music subscriptions and the resulting decrease in players owning their own music library, we have discontinued the "Music Mode."

However, you can still play while listening to your favorite songs by setting the BGM volume to 0 in the sound settings and playing music from your music app.

In addition, we have prepared a "Challenge Mode" where stages are randomly generated each time, so we hope you will enjoy that as well.

### 5/5 — Give it a go!

*2026-05-31*

This is a modern take on a classic game that has amazing soundtrack and it’s quite challenging mentally whilst being very pleasing aesthetically. I can see a lot of dev has gone into this game. I’m throughly enjoying playing it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing!
The entire development team expresses their sincere gratitude to you!

### 5/5 — Ultra gene

*2026-05-23*

Jogo educativo que não tem rica criadora de video chato

**Developer response:** Obrigado por jogar!
Toda a equipe de desenvolvimento expressa sua sincera gratidão a você!

### 5/5 — No music stages?

*2026-05-15, version 1.5.2*

I adore the original, and so happy to have this game back in my life, though this renewed version seems somewhat pale compared to the original. I sincerely hope the music stages return, so that I can play my own library of songs.

### 1/5 — Dumb Ui

*2026-04-28*

The almost impossible navigation system made this game unable to be enjoyed, thought I was going to like this game, what a shame.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. 
We apologize for not meeting your expectations.

We will use this information as a reference for our future product development.

### 5/5 — 추억의 인베이더
