Awesome Game

This is an awesome game and well done port. Don’t know why there aren’t more reviews!!

Star castle

So good

Fantastic adaptation

Great adaption of the original. Agree with other comments about better game control. I would love to see this game work with an external game controller. It looks like the developer has moved onto work for Amazon so I’m not sure if he’s still updating these games. I hope he keeps at it and comes up with a few more.

Awesome Game!

Star Castle was my game when I was a kid! They nailed it with this one! So happy I found it!

Could have been fun

Controls are very tough. The ship turns too fast. It might be better to have the ship circle on an orbit and have the turret always face the target.

Thanks for keeping this up to date!

I love retro-styled vector games on iPhone. This one was one of the first, based on a truly classic arcade game, and the inspiration for Yars' Revenge. Awesome.

Great game

I have loved this game for 38 years. This is a great recreation. One request: please add keyboard control. This game plays well on the iPad, but needs a keyboard for fine control.

Great game but was better

Great app. I loved the arcade game it’s based on. I’ve been playing this for several years on my phone, But I am disappointed with the recent update. Wish I hadn’t updated. New version scales down the Fortress and the fighter ship. This gives more space but on small devices the size of fighter and fortress seem too small, also the controls are now more sensitive in a negative way.

Old Fun

I love this "blast" from the past. This was a favorite game from my teenage years! Thanks for the update!

Star Castle lives on!

Great homage to an arcade classic. Plays even better than the SC game on the Vectrex app.

Excellent rendition of star c---tle!

I loved this game as a kid so I was thrilled to see you ported it to IOS.

Can you make the buttons taller? They're too small on an iPhone and too easy to miss at critical moments .. I want to see thd new staf lord tricks but can't get far enough without the small controls foiling me...

Otherwise everything feels like back in the day... Except to need for quarters!

I'm fat and old

I'm so old I remember this game! I used to play this at the roller rink every wknd. Great job on graphics and added touches. Well worth the 99 cents Don't tell my wife!! Lol

Old favorite game

Thx to bring back my old favorite game on Mac!!!

Awesome!

Thank you for bringing back the memories!

Really well done.

Yars Revenge was based off something similar to this game. This is perfect. The controls work well too.

Very Cool

Star Castle was one of the very first arcade games I played as a kid back in 1981, 1982. The only place I ever found it was tucked away in a small arcade room in the back of the local Sears store diner. Anyone else remember those diners? Hilarious!

Love this game. Recent update, not so much.

Loved this game as a kid. Sucked at it too. Love the old graphics. But, with the recent update, the game won't end! I'm up to 350 million, and the game will not end. I've been committing suicide, and the game won't end!! It's ridiculous.

GREAT!!

Awesome representation of an old arcade favourite! Love it, but pleeeeease makes version for IPad that's full screen!

Star Fortress Review

Great replica of the classic Star Castle. Good Job Mr Barenz! Having lots of fun with this one.

PERFECT!!!!

I just bought this and I also have Infinity Wars. These are the kinds of games I have been looking for since first getting an Iphone! Please keep developing more, I'll keep buying them!

Thanks
