Fantastic little shooter em up
It’s been on the App Store for a while and finally picked up this great little game on sale. Love the retro pixel art, the music, gameplay. Plays well with touch controls or controller. It does support the newer screen resolutions albeit with coloured borders which is fine in my opinion (it’s 16:9 essentially). There’s one thing missing, I have read there is a 2 player option. I just hooked up 2 game pads to the iPad but still can only play single player. @dev, any ideas?

面白い
グラディウスによく似たシューティングゲームです。
敵機や障害物に対する当たり判定が甘いのでどなたにも楽しめると思います。

Pure class
Oozes quality. Proper gamepad implementation. Using an Xbox controller it’s a blast.

Illusive Gaming Perfection
This is the The House of the Devil for shmups. I’m not even into shmups (or horror) but both of these attempts at not only just throwing it back to the 80’s but literally perfecting the experience is so rare and truly unique that I felt like that’s the only real logical comparison for me that comes to mind. Both of them have this dichotomy where they perfectly evoke and nail the era yet are super subtle about it due to the insane passion, attention to detail and humility that they are crafted with.

Sensacional !
Parabéns
Great port that needs a few adjustments
Love the port, everything looks and sounds great. However, the controls are tough. It would be good if we could change the sensitivity, or even use the gyro controls. As it is, the ship moves extremely fast, and it’s almost impossible to make small maneuvers. It’s especially bad in the second stage, where the vertical scrolling appears to be buggy, causing you to move even faster and crash into a floating landmass when you shouldn’t.
EDIT 1: In response to the developer, I played with the touch control settings, but still couldn’t find anything that allowed me to navigate difficult sections reliably. There are three problems with the current two control schemes:
1. When using the mode with speed ups, it feels very awkward, and having to use precious shield/ammo containers for a speed up makes an already difficult game much harder, especially since this option doesn’t work any better than the default.
2. The “drag” option is arbitrary. By that, I mean you are simply applying some arbitrary multiplier to the number of pixels you drag across to get each sensitivity level. The problem with this is that none of the sensitivity levels are a simple 1:1 with the screen. The ship ALWAYS moves just a little bit extra or a little less than you move your finger, and least on an XS. Because of this you have to constantly reposition your finger, and it often results in an unfair death.
3. It gets very confused when you use a second finger. Charge shot is an obvious offender, but it is also a problem with the “drag” option - sometimes your finger runs to the edge of the device. To try to keep moving smoothly, you “pass off” to your opposite finger on the other side of the screen. Maybe you can fix this by having the game detect if your current control point is in a “dead zone”, and if a second drag point is found elsewhere on the screen, it takes priority.
4. Many control options could be alleviated by adding controller/keyboard support. Maybe a quick update?

Thank you for the suggestions and feedback! :) You can adjust the controls in the settings, there are 2 modes: one is a joystick simulator where you also get a speed bonus, and the other one is where you "drag" the spaceship around the screen without speed limits. And you can always attach a controller!
Great old skool shooter
Title says it all! Nice retro shooter!! Controller support too!!
A Masterpiece
Feels like the dev and designer loved super r-type, super strike gunner and star wing as mich as I did. It‘s a fresh new and really well polished experience and a blast from the past, with many hints and revivals of good old level designs, enemy types and so on.
Best game I have ever played
I own this game in three games platforms it’s just that great. The soundtrack is amazing and the fine details that were put into this game put it over the top. I wish I could review it higher than 5 stars.
Oldschool like R-Type
Great old-school game.Graphics,story & sound superb. Please make a Turrican clone with this fantastic engine. It‘s possible for you to make an update for fullscreen support e.g for📱 IPhone 11 Pro Max ? Keep up the great work.
シューティングゲームはやっぱりおもしろい
夢中になってしまう
やはりゲームはこうでなくてはいけない
横スクロールのこんなゲームが
もっと、沢山でてほしい
ただ、画面でのコントロールはむずかしい
ジョイスティックを買おうかと思ったが
意外と高いし、実際に使えるかわからないから
買うのを躊躇してしまう
それだけが悩みどころ
それでも面白いと思います

Just right
Games nowadays tend to try to keep the player for hours instead of delivering a great experience. Many Shmups I’ve been playing follow this path and I just can’t see the end of the game becase it gets boring. This game manages to deliver just enough so you feel acomplishment and, with the small bits here and there, tempted to play it again, and again. Not long, not short, the right number of stages and well balanced experience. Worth the money! And the joystick support is something great to have! I just loved the experience! Good Job guys :D

Excellent Retro R-Type-like Shooter!
Initially had issues due to a bad download. Once I started playing, I have been thoroughly enraptured—excellent game!
If you like side-scrolling shooters—similar to Defender and R-Type—then this is the game for you! Works great on my ATV4 and with my PS4 controller. And best of all, no subscription, no ads and no in-app purchases!

Thank you so much for the kind words! While a 2nd part isn't on the agenda, check out Cursed Castilla and The Curse of Issyos for more nostalgic, retro experiences! :)
