Would happily pay for a version that addressed these issues. ### 4/5 — I do like *2021-07-10, version 1.0.6* It’s like other shooter but seem to have plot and that’s nice. Characters locked behind paywall which is not good but levels are fun and graphics aren’t bad. Controls are weird because when you click one place the character moves that place and it also has drag controls along with click to move at once. Decently challenging levels and fun to play. Easy to get used to. ### 2/5 — Don’t get this if you prefer the original arcade *2019-04-21* No game pad support. And the graphics. Why can they just make it like the original? ### 4/5 — have a bug *2019-01-05, version 1.0.4* After 4 stage can not play. ### 2/5 — Ugh *2016-08-05* Like the game but too crippled, just charge us 3 bucks and give us move lives and characters please ### 3/5 — could've been 5 star *2016-06-11* when the game is deleted and redownloaded , u can't get your files back even tho u can log on to other things .. ### 4/5 — Fun *2015-12-17, version 1.0.3* Fun fun fun ### 5/5 — Wasssssssssam *2015-04-12, version 1.0.3* Its a nice game. ### 5/5 — 텐가요 *2015-03-21, version 1.0.3* 나이가 플레이 nice play ### 5/5 — Tegai *2014-12-25* I've to enjoyed with this funny app, I like it. ### 5/5 — game hay *2014-12-20, version 1.0.3* hay ### 5/5 — Tengai is one of the very best shmups *2014-11-10* Great Japanese Shmup gameplay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2017-09-23* Can you guys please update this game so I can continue playing it, this game is fun as ever and I can’t play it because of the ios 11 update. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-07-22* I can't even start a game without it crashing. I have no idea how the gameplay is ### 1/5 — Auto crash *2017-07-09* The game crashes as soon as u open it. This game is rip off guys this has been going for over 4 month now n yet still hasn't fix this issue. Stay far away from this game ### 1/5 — Need to update for new iOS version *2016-12-25* Please update the game and also put extra live it's so had to pass the level... ### 1/5 — IAP economy broken *2015-08-20* They should just let you buy the game outright instead of crippling it. It's actually kinda fun. ### 1/5 — really bro? *2015-06-15* 1) app crashes all the time. please fix the issue. 2) you are given 2 of the crappiest characters and rest of them are for you to use $$ to buy... it is almost impossible to collect 400 rubies to purchase the charcters you want by winning stages because you have 2 extra lives and 5 rubies every 5 stages. real low blow. they just want your money. please give us more lives and some more opportunities to collect rubies... or this is a dead app ### 1/5 — Don't download *2015-05-28, version 1.0.3* ad. ad. ad. ### 1/5 — Good game ruined by the worst micro transaction *2014-12-05* You have access to only two (considerably) worst characters and you have to purchase the rest. Each character costs 400 gems and 550 gems cost $4.99. Other wise you have to bet stage 5 to earn gem, which will get you 5 gems. The game itself is satisfying but if you're looking to play the samurai or the robot, don't even bother. This game certainly doesn't deserve your money. ### 1/5 — too much in app purchase *2014-06-25, version 1.0.1* :( ### 1/5 — Fun but.... *2014-06-14* I would pay much enough, if this game is full game. Enjoyable but AD is too many that is so annoying. Every time play start over and over again that makes me delete this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vertical & Horizontal 🎢 *2019-04-08* 🎨 & nice action packed Shmup. The coinage iz way unbalanced with no sense of progression with the amount of lives your given. You even uped the price to continue by 1000. It'z 2019 and there iz no new updates or games from you. It would be cool to hear from you folks 2017 Hey Gon👾🔋👾Lee ### 5/5 — Ios11 *2017-11-18* Can you please update version?

I used to get up early in the morning and run to the arcade centre just so I don't have to queue up to play this game! As it was really popular back then! I'm so glad it has finally hit the App Store! My only critique is that sometimes the controls are very hard to use especially when manoeuvring. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
