### 4/5 — No controller support

*2024-04-29, version 1.0.5*

Great game, an exact port of the original, only issue is there seems to be no controller support for the game and I’ve tried multiple different ways. Please developers, add controller support!!!

### 4/5 — Kinda hard

### 4/5 — Great Game, Please Remove the Adds

*2022-12-05, version 1.0.5*

I love this game, I grew up with it and it’s great to play again.  I gladly dropped countless quarters on this game back in the day, and am
Happy to pay for a version WITHOUT ADDS.  I cannot seem to find that as an option.  Let’s do better shall we?  No more adds, give us the option to pay for an add free version please.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2022-09-24, version 1.0.5*

Great conversion. I’ve been spending far more time on it than I should, tbh.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-06-24, version 1.0.5*

Brings me back to my childhood. Just like the arcade game. No annoying ads and looks just like the old game. I don’t play games anymore but this got me back in to it. Awesome!!

### 1/5 — Always starts over.

*2025-03-26, version 1.4.0*

Even tough you clear a level the game makes you start over from the beginning.

### 1/5 — Always starts over.

*2024-11-01*

Even tough you clear a level the game makes you start over from the beginning.

### 1/5 — Game 5/5 - Rating 0/5 - Ads suck!

*2023-06-24*

Game of course is 5/5
Annoying ads and tracking makes it 0/5
At least give fans an option to pay for the game and enjoy it without tracking and annoying ads!

### 1/5 — Fails To Give Rewards and Earn Diamonds

*2023-04-01, version 1.0.5*

The game is fun to play, however I feel the developer cheats the player because the diamonds you earn for completing levels is never added to your total diamond count!  Also, the 30 diamond reward with the timer does not actually give you diamonds either!!  It would be cool if the developer would allow player to start at levels all ready completed instead of back at the first level!

### 1/5 — Bogus

*2020-11-21, version 1.0.4*

Completed level 1 and now won’t let me go to level 2. This was one of my favorite games back in the day. I even messaged Mobrix  and they did not respond. Bogus app. Does not do the old game justice. Don’t bother with the download.

### 1/5 — 4.9 lol

*2020-04-23, version 1.0.4*

How did this get this high score bought reviews on easy it’s too hard on normal is the same as easy can’t get 1 level also ads ads ads forced ads at game start forced ads at ending of death etc I deleted it

### 2/5 — Okay but flawed

*2023-08-01, version 1.0.5*

The auto-fire seems like a good decision when switching this to touch controls, but the bomb button is unintuitive. I think a double-click anywhere on screen would have been better.
The drag-to-move controls are usually great for shmups but there’s two big problems here.
First, billets are coming from all directions but your thumb will obscure a lot of it. Mobile shrimps tend to have dangers come from above.
Second, this game was designed to have the plate move at a consistent speed, but now you live as fast as you can drag. This actually makes dodging billets even harder as Judi find speed/position is more difficult.

### 3/5 — Freezing up - locked out of earned levels.

*2023-12-22*

This game is great, in many ways even better than the ‘80s arcade.  

Perhaps it’s because of my device, but sometimes it freezes up, and I have to delete the app.  Then I have to reinstall.  But then, levels I previously cleared, e.g., “hard” are locked to me again, and I have to earn access to that level all over again.  That’s my only real complaint.  

Otherwise, the game is just as fun and challenging as ever, with that ‘80s arcade music and feel.

### 3/5 — Impossible de sauvegarder la progression

*2021-10-28*

Bonjour,
Pourquoi ne peut-on pas sauvegarder les parties ! Il faut à chaque fois recommencer tout depuis le début !!!
Quelque chose m’échappe sûrement, quelqu’un peut-il m’aider ?
merci @+ Jérôme

### 4/5 — Please add a button for bomb drop!

*2024-09-20, version 1.0.5*

I’m playing it on my Macbook, but there seems to be no button for the bomb drop.  Please fix it.  Other than that, I’d like to see multi-players mode on it.  Great game and nice porting!

### 5/5 — Twin Cobra

*2023-07-25, version 1.0.5*

I loved this game many many years ago and after I believed I would never play it again I have it now in my pocket a tap away.  Thank you for making just like I remembered it.  The whole full power is just awesome.

### 5/5 — Twin cobra

*2023-05-09, version 1.0.5*

Don’t seem to find many shoot em’ ups like this anymore. Me and my mates got so good at this - and another arcade machine that we could last 45mins easily and more on one 10p credit in the arcade. Think we helped bankrupt the arcade . Good memories- great game
