## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to just buy it

*2025-04-20*

Adds every other minute. No way to just purchase so you don’t have to watch the same stupid ad over and over. Make an option to buy

### 1/5 — Good reviews are fake

*2021-11-16*

This is trash. It won’t let you play unless you start buying in-game gems which cost real money. It won’t actually even allow you to play without upgrading.

### 2/5 — 😶‍🌫️

*2021-08-05, version 1.0.0*

Would be fine if it had an option to pay for the app outright instead of loading the thing up with ads.

### 3/5 — There should be more options for UI frames and control

*2021-06-23, version 1.0.0*

Apart from them, it’s a good port.

### 3/5 — App crashing. Fix pls so I can try playing

*2021-05-20*

I just found about this game today I thought it’s cool so I decided to install app and then App won’t open. It keep crashing.

### 3/5 — Good fun. Unfair payments

*2021-05-18*

This game should be popular but the in app purchases are way too high. I would be happy to pay $5-8 if it was a one time payment

### 4/5 — Fun and inexpensive.

*2022-05-19*

I have been a shmup fan since 1983 and I really enjoy this game on ipad.  It's colorful, has unique music, and I just get a good vibe from it.

   I don't remember paying much, if anything, for this.  Whatever I may have paid, I got my money's worth immediately.

   Reminds me of aero fighters or some such game where the sprite artwork is bright and effervescent and full of life.  

   Buy if you like quirky shmups with some replay value.

   In forty years I'll be drooling in a rest home living room, still playing this game.

### 5/5 — Just ranting

### 5/5 — Finally...a great mobile port of one of my all time favorite SHMUPs

*2021-04-03*

This easily beats all the previous ones I’ve seen on this app and it even has the “attract mode” intro too!!! 

If you’re looking for a good shmup then tengai is the one for you
