More than you’re expecting...
Yes, it’s similar to Tempest...but Tempest is an absolute classic, and it worth seeing what someone else does with the concept. One of the most impressive elements is the system of game progress: it’s truly innovative, and let’s you choose either to limp through levels with one life and limited power, or to play more carefully and to conserve life/power. There’s more depth here than you’d expect, and it’d probably be easier to appreciate if there were some kind of tutorial built into the game....

Requires iOS 9
I like the improved gameplay. It runs great on my iPhone 6 that is running iOS 9. Unfortunately, my iPad 4 is running 8.4 because I'm waiting to see if iOS 9.1 provide will improved performance.

So-so, but nothing great
Too repetitive, too easy for too long.
Plus, this is a TOTAL Tempest rip-off!
If you're going to rip an existing game off, please improve on the design & try to bring something new to it...

Not so hot
I found control to be awkward and fairly non responsive. Perhaps this is by design, but I don't think so.
Great game
Revitalized my addiction to Tempest.
Love it!
I love this game & has been my go to game since I got it. I usually don't review games even when they bribe you w/coins or points to do so, no only what I consider a really good game do I review. One of the negative reviews I read said that all the good reviews were either related or new the developer but I don't believe it because I'm not related nor do I know them & I give it 5 stars. When I first started playing it would boot me out sometimes on the 4th level sometimes other levels; as you know this is very frustrating but I liked it so much I kept trying & then it started after booting me out when I opened it up again would open to the same level I was on when it booted me out; which made it a little better but still frustrating. I've been playing for a few days now & it pretty much stopped booting me out even though I don't know why. I've made it to level 35, once you get to level 25 you can start there every time if you want to. The next save level is 50. There have been complaints about the controls but I hope they don't change them because if you would just play a little while & get used to them you would realize that the way the controls work are part of the awesomeness of this game! On some levels it's like trying to pat your head, rub your stomach, walk & blow a bubble all at the same time. All you do is move your finger left & right but the way the track (for lack of a better word) is I find my finger going all different directions because of the perception you see while playing. Yes it starts out easy but just keep playing & I love the jump button, it also takes time to realize how cool it is & how to make it work for you. I've never written a review so long but felt I needed to tell people how much fun this retro shoot-em-up game is. Some are comparing it to tempest which I've never played but think I would like it but the point is don't compare it just enjoy it for what it is and for the price you can't beat it!

What a disappointment!
I watched and read the and I'm confident that the positive reviews are from the developers and their friends. I was a HUGE Tempest fan and was really excited about this game. Especially since it was less than a buck. Boy was I wrong. The controls are HORRIBLE! Bad movement and horrendous firing mechanism.
DELETE!!! Maybe the next update will make me change my mind.
Sorry!

Beautiful...
..if only every Tempest clone was this good...
Awesome game
Love tempest so it's obvious I would love this game. Only thing I don't like is making us start completely over when killed. It really is hard to play. Please make it a bit more easier.
Fun for 2 min
Level 2 does not work on my iPad mini
Cool but got problems
It won't let me move in level 3 please fix !
A bit disappointed
I'm a fan of vector...but the finger controls on the iPad make this game frustrating. Sometimes the triangle does not move when I drag my finger. I couldn't get past the first level. Very frustrating. I was so hoping it was a Vector type. Oh well.
Big fun for small money really.
Shoot at stuff in retro fashion. Good fun and heaps of levels to play through. Worth every 99 cents imo.
Needs tilt
This is an amazing game but, it would be better if it had tilt controls.
Good try...
Game is way too easy. Controls are meh, dragging should be tilt. Auto fire is overkill. Breezing through the game is almost guaranteed.
Really fun, good gameplay
This game is pretty fun. It has basic gameplay anyone can get into. But is challenging enough for the better players to get to the higher levels.
I like the various enemy types. This game seems to avoid copy and pasting the same enemy's and making stronger versions (except the strong grunt I hate that enemy)
And then there are no IAPs which is amazing. More games need to be praised for not having adds or micro transactions!
I think the thing I like the most is how it supports me using my left hand. If I start using my left hand the "jump" button will go to the right!

Frozen at level 3
The game is totally frozen at level three.
Good
I dropped a star because it isn't clear why the "jump" changes sides for no reason, causing the loss of lives.
Tempest knock-off
This game is pretty much Tempest for the iPhone, which is not a bad thing. I like the retro theme and the fact that there are NO IAP's that seem to plague the App Store nowadays. If I could change or add one thing it would be alternate controls, maybe a button on both sides to control left/right movement instead if sliding because it doesn't seem as responsive as it could be. It's not bad for a $0.99, I'll give it that!

Amazing
I was never big into the arcade games of the past or the one this was based off. So I can't say much there. But what I can say is how insanely addictive this game is. Took me a bit to get the controls down. But once I did. I couldn't stop. Love it
