Help

I have had this game on my phone for a few years now. Worked perfectly, my favorite game. I upgraded my phone and now this game freezes. I have deleted it and reinstalled, it works great until all the weapons start to unlock. What’s the solution?

Feedbacks and suggestions

1. Please add horizontal mode for iPhone. 2. Please include a weapon gallery. 3. The sounds effects can not be turned off, please fix. 4. Why can't the game be paused? 5. Could you please improve the resolution?
6. Why can't I access Game Center in the homepage?

Super Arc Light is Awesome

This game blends retro music with fast simple but challenging game play. Hands down my favorite game on the phone. They have done an EXCELLENT job paying homage to classic games but keeping a modern feel to it!

Needs Support!

I LOVE this game! It’s been one of my favorites for awhile, given that it’s simple to understand and super addictive. Only problem is now I’ve upgraded my iPhone 6S to an iPhone 11, the game has become incredibly laggy. Please devs fix this!!

WORTH IT!

I think for most of us it starts off a little confusing and slightly frustrating getting a hang of things. But as as soon as you get a hang of things the game gets very addictive. I enjoy how engaging and simple the game is. If your looking for an arcade game to fall in love with then you dont need to look further.

I have 2 suggestions for the Devs. The mechanics are simple and therefor near perfect, but- I would revisit the "side shot" and consider buffing it, if not get rid of it as a powerup. Secondly Ive noticed the horizontal hit box on the " X fighter enemy" needs a very small adjustment.
