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. ### 4/5 — Good but hard *2026-04-12, version 1.5.2* Its good but the levels are hard ### 3/5 — It is hard *2026-03-13, version 1.5.2* But fun ### 3/5 — 指で敵弾が見えない *2026-02-04* コンソール版はお気に入りでしたが、スマホだと自分の指で時期周りが隠れてしまい死ぬこと多数。ストレスが貯まるのでアンインストールです。 **Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。 ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。 本アプリでは、自機を直接タッチする必要はなく、画面の好きな場所をさわって操作することが可能となっています。 すでにアンインストールされたとのことですが、もし機会がありましたら、 自機ではなく、比較的邪魔にならない場所をタッチしてプレイをお試しいただけますと幸いです。 ### 2/5 — Boring *2026-02-02, version 1.5.2* Boring ### 3/5 — Fantastic game full of surprises for old and new fans, but… *2026-01-13* The original Infinity Gene is near and dear to my heart, and seeing this game trick me into thinking it’s just gonna be a remastered version only for it to be an entirely unique experience is amazing..!! However, there appears to be a game-breaking bug— on MacBook devices with ProMotion displays, the game appears to run at double the intended speed, making it impossible to play. Setting the display to 60hz fixes the problem, but it’s a hassle to do so every time. A v-sync option would easily solve the problem and would raise my review to a perfect score. ### 4/5 — Pretty great Remaster! *2025-12-28* I gotta say I didn’t expect this game to actually come back after it was wiped off the App Store when 32 Bit support on IOS was removed, the console stuff being brought back along with new content is pretty great but there are some things i think could use improvement Some of the Challenge mode exclusive stuff (Enemies, Music and bosses) aren’t unlockable in the Enemy Graphic and Sound menu respectively, but outside of that it me a pretty good remaster for what it’s worth. **Developer response:** Thank you for playing the original game! The entire development team would like to express our heartfelt gratitude! We will use this information as a reference for our future product development. ### 4/5 — トークンの獲得が義務的なところ以外は良かった。 *2025-12-16* 1日三つまでというトークンボーナス制限がなかったら星5。これがあるため楽しむためのゲームが義務的に感じられてしまい、少し離脱してしまった。 **Developer response:** お楽しみいただきありがとうございます！ 一部至らない箇所があり申し訳ございません。 いただきましたご意見は今後の開発の参考にさせていただきます。 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-11-29, version 1.5.1* This game is awesome. It stays true to the original space invaders style, but along the way you unlock parts of the game that up the ante. There are levels to and it gets more difficult, which is fun. Also, the music is spot on. ### 5/5 — 昔のインベーダーが！ *2025-11-16* 小学生の頃駄菓子屋で遊んだインベーダーが、ここまで進化して携帯で遊べるなんて感動です。 メイン、チャレンジ、エキストラに難易度セッティングはノーマルからアルティメットまで嬉し過ぎです。 もう少し遊びたいのでエキストラステージ⑧、⑨アップデートありませんか？ メインステージ追加でもいいです。 **Developer response:** 原作版からお楽しみいただき誠にありがとうございます！ また、ご要望につきましてもありがとうございます！ ### 5/5 — This is the impossible game it’s super extreme and impossible and hard and normal and easy *2025-11-14, version 1.5.0* How is this impossible ### 4/5 — Pretty fun but… *2025-10-12, version 1.5.0* I can get rather too easy or too hard a lot, good for if you have nothing too do, but not the best. ### 5/5 — World’s funniest game *2025-10-11, version 1.5.0* I’ve been looking for a game for like so long and I finally found a perfect game to play in this game is a survival game that I really love also like that it’s pixelated and yeah ### 5/5 — Less talking more updates less updates EX EVENTS *2025-10-10, version 1.5.0* This is the extreme idea I ever heard. I wanted to use this idea can you make the ultimate spaceship for FREE. YEA FREE! NADA! NOTHING ZILCH! AND A EXTREME PASS PLEASE AND THANK YOU AND KEEP PLAYING! START YOU IDEA TODAY!!!! ### 5/5 — 훌륭한 게임 *2025-09-09* 인피니티진 처음 나왔을때 부터 즐겼지만 어느순간 사라져서 아쉬웠었습니다. 다라이어스 버스트도 스토어에서 내려가 타이토게임은 이제 모바일에서 즐길수 없는건가 싶었어요. 더군다나 격무에 시달리던 요즘 10년 전 고단한 통학길을 달래줬던 본 게임이 그리웠는데, 어느순간 출시되어 있더군요. 홀리듯이 다운로드 받았고 추억속의 우주를 다시 만났습니다. 아케이드 장르는 저물어가고 있습니다. 어느덧 50주년을 바라보고 있는 본 시리즈도 언젠가는 역사의 한페이지로 남을지도 모릅니다. 하지만 그날이 오늘은 아니라며 당당하게 진화해 다시 세상으로 나왔습니다. 세상 모든 게이머에게 헌사하는 추억과 출시당시 하드웨어적 한계로 구현하지 못했던 추가스테이지 까지 가득 담긴 사랑스러운 게임이라고 감히 부르고 싶습니다. 개발진에게 고맙습니다. 언젠가는 다라이어스 시리즈도 다시 만나고 싶습니다. **Developer response:** 구작도 플레이 해 주셔서 감사합니다! 개발 멤버 일동, 정말 감사합니다! ### 5/5 — WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-09-07, version 1.4.0* This is a really cool and very fun game and I totally think that I should thank whoever created this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — 面白いのは面白いけど *2026-02-03* 前作のように縦画面だったらプレイしやすいと思うけど、横画面なので唐突に障害物が出てくるわ的も急に出るわでサターン版ガンフロンティアのような理不尽な場合がある。しかも背景も障害物もモノトーンの場合は難易度が爆増する。何で死んだか分からん時がある。また、TPS視点みたいな画面になった時も距離感が分かりづらいので弾除けが辛い。御社レイクラやレイストでノウハウありますよね…？ 大画面でテストプレイしてんじゃねえの？　ちっちゃい横画面でモノトーンの高速スクロール面とか苦行に決まってんだろ。 (追記) チャレンジモードの後の方の打ち返し弾が酷い。せめてショットのオンオフをプレイヤーが操作出来るんならまだマシだけど、オートショットだから敵の間を抜ける時に勝手に敵を破壊→ゼロ距離打ち返しで死亡とか、敵の爆発が大きい円の場合弾が見えるまでラグがあるし最悪。他のプラットフォームならまだ画面も大きいしコントローラーでショットのオンオフも出来るだろうけどスマホにはちょっとねえ。タイトーのテストプレイヤーは人外しか居ないん？ **Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。 ご期待にそえず申し訳ありません。 今後、弊社の製品開発の参考にさせていただきます。 ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-09-18, version 1.4.0* This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen so far. Give me a reason to keep my Apple Arcade subscription. Please ### 1/5 — Not really space invaders *2025-08-27* Try to play the actual game and 10 seconds into it sends you to play some other game mode? Is this a glitch or just false advertising? **Developer response:** This is the sequel to Space Invaders. As you progress through the game, you can enjoy watching the original Space Invaders evolve into a modern shooting game. ### 1/5 — Bof *2025-08-26* Mode paysage non adapté aux mobiles. Complexité dans le menu, on ne comprend pas tout. ok, volonté de faire jeu des années 80 mais trop complexe pour l'époque (à mon gout) **Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis. Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour le manque de satisfaction. Ces informations serviront de référence pour le développement de nos futurs produits. ### 1/5 — Take old game & make worse *2025-06-25, version 1.1.0* This IS NOT representative of original game, Im old enough to know. Absolutely terrible ### 1/5 — fix the menu *2025-04-19, version 1.0.2* truly the worst menu screen i’ve ever seen. unclear and annoying. i’ll update the review once they fix this because it’s awful as is. ### 1/5 — hard meh, would be so much better if you could manual shoot when using a controller *2025-04-15* EDIT: the auto-fire on/off option is a joke, you press X and it turns on auto-fire, so it's shooting continually, you press X again, and it turns it off completely, no more shooting. why not just have the option to manually shoot like any other shooter game? please add an option to shoot manually, especially when using a controller. the satisfying part of these kinds of games is shooting. and please make it more obvious when selecting options, like the settings etc. probably a promising game if they add a manual shoot option **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. You can toggle auto-fire on/off when using a controller. See Help for more information. Select the cog icon in the bottom right of the MENU screen, then HELP to view this information. ### 1/5 — No Backbone controller support! *2025-04-12* See “Title” **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the following customer service center: https://support.na.square-enix.com/main.php?la=1&id=19494 We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation. ### 1/5 — It’s back BUT landscape!!! *2025-04-10* Landscape makes no sense, makes controls awkward. The original played to the spirit of the phone, portrait, one thumb play, why do this? Response to developer: So you’ve led development for devices that will almost certainly be used far less than the phone, less user population etc. as an arcade shooter the whole design ethos was around portrait, game now semi broken in landscape, attack patterns broken by having to be squashed to fit landscape etc, very poor decision making **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We apologize for not meeting your expectations. This game is designed to be played in landscape mode to be compatible with iOS, AppleTV, and Mac. We will use this information as a reference for our future product development. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — 추억의 인베이더 *2026-04-13* 어렸을 적 오락기로 했던 추억의 갓겜 업글기능도 있어 좋아요 **Developer response:** 플레이해주셔서 감사합니다! 1978년부터 이어져 온 게임의 진화를 즐겨보세요! ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2026-03-18* It is the best game ever I strongly recommend it. **Developer response:** Thank you for playing! We would like to express our gratitude to all the development team members! ### 5/5 — Played the game back on my iPhone 5,,, this is a MASTERPIECE *2026-02-16, version 1.5.2* I played the OG game on the iPhone 5 and later XBOX 360 and it was a masterpiece. It’s amazing to see the game has come back to iOS in its full form with ZERO micro transactions! I’m so excited to 100% it again on iOS! ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2026-01-30* The ultimate version of a timeless PS3/Xbox 360/iOS title— finally back and better than ever!! The original is near and dear to my heart, and this is more than a port/remaster— it is an entirely new experience that captures the magic and essence of the original release while also standing on its own as a new entry. Developers are extremely passionate about their craft, I reported a bug and it was fixed in just a few weeks!! THE KING OF GAMES STRIKES BACK!! **Developer response:** Thank you for enjoying the game! The bug has been fixed in the Ver. 1.5.2 update, so please update and continue enjoying the game! ### 5/5 — This needs to be purchasable! *2025-12-13, version 1.5.0* Loved playing the original Infinity Gene and was so bummed when it fell out of development. Literally, the only reason I took the complimentary three months with purchase of an iPhone was to play Infinity Gene again! Would love to have this game in a permanent collection on my phone! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
