## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Broken

*2017-07-22*

This game does not function. From the reviews on the free version it sounds like the company doesn't care to fix the problems either.

### 1/5 — HATE IT

*2016-08-15*

I'd like my money back.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2016-07-28*

I want my money back

### 1/5 — Not at all like Tempest

*2016-05-02*

The controls are not at all fluid, and the baddies are chaotic. I deleted this game in under two minutes after downloading it.

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2016-01-05*

You can stay in one spot and simply fire.  The game needs to use the iPads gyroscope to be worthwhile.

### 1/5 — Awful implementation

*2015-06-12*

Looks great. Play controls are terrible. No pause, no tilt, no way to exit.

### 1/5 — Terrible try at copying tempest!

*2015-05-24*

Ugh.  I was excited to try this....
But quickly let down.. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2015-04-29*

Claims to be like tempest but in actuality is nothing like it - the screenshots lie.

### 3/5 — Original Tempest???!!

*2018-07-01*

This game still needs to be refined more than it is. The arrows pointing on turning work sometimes. Most of time the ship stayed stationary. There was a consistent white box right beside the fire button. I loved to play tempest at the arcade back in the 80’s. PLEASE work on this to make it BETTER!!!
