### 3/5 — Good, but flawed.

*2022-05-12, version 1.0.4*

This game is very nice. It has 4 different ships, powerups to enhance them, and lots of content.
One problem is that you can easily cheese the end boss by using the ship that shoots circles and standing in the middle of the screen.
Please add an extra attack to the boss to counter this.

### 4/5 — feels bad quality but great game

*2021-08-09, version 1.0.4*

ok so when you start the game it feels like cheap unity game made in few hours like any other but the gameplay is very fun. it allows you to change ships when you are playing which is cool because you might want lazer type for boss and wide range for weaker enemies. feels smooth to play and is just as fun as any other shooter. only complaint is that you cant change stuff in settings to do with actual gameplay (such as sensitivity, bomb button location, etc). needs to add that. also bomb button is at top right of screen which is little awkward to reach but other than that its perfect shooter. the difficulty increases as you play which allows new players to get used to it and gradually develop skill to do harder levels. very cool.

Yes ignore the negative review by Bradley. I love vertical strollers and this is one of the best.plenty of things to shoot good graphics and nothing too complicated is choosing different weapons buying selling etc. Dead easy and very enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Beyler bu da neymiş :/

*2015-08-24, version 1.0.1*

Bu tarz oyunları seviyorsanız sizi galaxy zero ya alalım bu oyun tamamen ondan alıntıdır hatta gemi aura mirage ye ateş de ilk geminin ateş şekline benzemektedir yaylım yaptığı için de ateş tarzı ss sınıfı titan ın atış şekli ayrıca galaxy zero nun arka planları daha güzel ve hikayeye de uygun yeni arena modu da cabası yukardan oynanan basit bir oyun gibi görünsede çoğu oyundan daha çokcswvdiğim sürekli günlük olarsk girdiğim birmoyundur kesinlikle tavsiye ederim zaten oyun bedava oynarsınız beğenmezseniz silersiniz

### 1/5 — Без преувеличений

*2015-08-24, version 1.0.1*

Игра, норм. Захватывает стрелялкой разными караблями, нот беда! Управление ужас, сдвигаешь палец вверх из под удара уводишь карабль и бах уже самолет не под пальцем, хотя его и не отпускал, а хер знает где! УПРАВЛЕНИЕ СЫРОЕ, срочно исправить!

### 1/5 — WHY DO GAMES THIS BAD END

*2015-08-22, version 1.0.1*

UP ON THE MARKET PLACE?!?!

IT IS TRULY AWFUL! 

THIS IS THE SIXTH REVIEW TYPED AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOT BEEN BOUGHT TO ENTICE YOU TO DOWNLOAD THIS DREADFUL GAME!

THE SCREEN GET DELUGED WITH THE ENEMIES' BOMBS! THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM IT IS NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID THEM! THE CONTROLS ARE AWKWARD. AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN YOUR FINGER IS ON THE SCREEN YOUR FINGER BLOCKS OFF A LARGE PART OF THE SCREEN. WITH THE DELUGE OF BOMBS ALL OVER THE SCREEN IT MAKES THE VERY SMALL CHANCE OF AVOIDING THE BOMBS EVEN LESS LIKELY! FAR TOO OFTEN YOU END IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU ARE TRAPPED AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS DIE! IT IS RIDICULOUS!

THIS IS NOT AN ENJOYABLE GAME BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION AND I ENJOY SHOOT 'EM UP GAMES! I JUST DO NOT ENJOY ONES THAT ARE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY!

AVOID!
