### 5/5 — すげえ

*2026-05-03*

おもろい

### 1/5 — All the right parts, can’t put them together well

*2025-11-24, version 2.0.0*

This game wants to be fun. It has all the pieces to make something unique, interesting and endlessly replayable. Unfortunately, it also has all of the tendencies to tie its own shoelaces together at every possible moment. Bad weapon drops are more than frequent, they’re practically guaranteed. Useless end of round buffs for your loadout happen 90% of the time. “Low” sensitivity might as well feel like you’re playing on greased ice. This game hates you for playing it, and it’s laughing at you the whole time you try to push past that. Spend your money elsewhere.

### 5/5 — 为什么不和pc版版本同步。导致我一直少用一架飞机

*2025-06-21, version 2.0.0*

为什么

### 1/5 — Awful on iOS

*2025-03-07, version 2.0.0*

Controls terribly. Double tap feature doesn’t work well and gets you killed a lot.

### 2/5 — Bad touch controls

*2024-12-03*

You have to swipe to move the ship. No joystick or anything. Really bad. I already bought this game once on console, but having tried this and had my refund denied, I don’t recommend buying it. Seriously, the controls are bad. You run out of space to swipe on the screen when you need to KEEP MOVING. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2024-08-03, version 2.0.0*

Commands are mad and the power ups are badly managed.it’s a pure gamble and when you are lucky you won’t go pass stage 2

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game ✨

*2023-10-11, version 2.0.0*

“Hands down this game is good, but I kinda wanted to see if the developers can add an archive mechanic in the game so you can see what kinds of weapons, enemies, bosses, Secrets, etc, you unlocked during each run you play, 
if this game can get it then this will be The Game of the Century of the Mobile Gaming Space”.

### 5/5 — 5/5 game except for the fact that Red Baron isn’t playable on mobile.. Why?

*2022-04-23, version 2.0.0*

One of the most fun games I’ve ever played yet the Red Baron isnt on mobile. I’ve seen talks abt how there would be control issues but I think it would be fine. Please devs. Just add it.

### 5/5 — いいね

*2022-04-19*

これテレビ画面でやりたいですね〜 演出がいちいちカッコイイ♪ テクノソフトを思い出す

### 4/5 — おもしろいのはおもしろいが

*2021-12-02*

やっていて面白いが、武器の切り替えの操作がやりにくいのと
毎回どんな武器がくるかプレイしてみないわからないこと
たまにパワーアップアイテムが取れない理由がわからないこと
パワーアップが多すぎて効果がわからないものが多いこと
これらが、楽しい人もいると思うが、
私はプレイ中に悩ませられるのでイライラする。
そこで、パワーアップのアイテムを無視して標準装備のブラスターだけで進めていると、どうやら難易度があがるみたいで、これはこれで良いのかどうかよくわからない。
シューティングゲームとしてはよく出来ていると思うが
いつも、シューティングってこれでいいのか？と悩みながら遊んでいる自分がいるが、取り敢えず全面クリアしてみたいとは思っている。

できれば武器の切り替えボタンだけでも追加してほしい。
