I did request a refund from apple, id be happy to purchase the no ads to support the developer again if this can be resolved. ### 3/5 — Repetitive *2021-07-11, version 1.0.101* It is quite interesting to play for an hour or so, but it gets repetitive fairly quickly ### 4/5 — Not bad *2022-01-14, version 1.0.101* Looks and plays good, but controls is not intuitive, sometimes rocket 🚀 flies faster, sometimes slower ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-04-19* This is so much like 80s arcade games. Love it. Just two feature requests: Support for landscape mode for iPad. iCloud saves for saving access to levels across devices. ### 5/5 — It's a five *2021-11-08* Because it's Ernest ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-05-07* And keeps getting better with updates. Thank you to the dev for the constant stream of updates that have made the game even better than it was. This is my go-to game for short breaks. ### 5/5 — Love this game a lot. *2021-05-05* It’s great. So simple almost to a fault. It can be punishing to learn, I almost deleted it because I don’t like troll ads, but stuck with because I love the concept. Reminds me of an old school mac game I use to play back in the day on a floppy disc. I play games on my phone using a controller, Vortexika is the best feeling of them hands down. Once you get the hang of it you can put the ship where it needs to go and feel very good doing it. 9/10 awesome game! A 10/10 for me would be a ship upgrade tier system. As you collect more shields your ship grows bigger. I’d love to see a beefy tier 4 ship that handles slower but has more fire power, and can smash through small asteroids without damage. When you get hit, your ship loses a tier level. Like you guys do with the level check points! I love that you’re not always starting from the beginning. Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Haven’t played it yet *2021-04-30* Didn’t play it yet but I’m guessing it’s good so 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-04-30* Pretty challenging. Really fun ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect pickup and play goodness *2021-04-21, version 1.0.70* Great feel, easy gameplay and nice and challenging. Awesome “just one more play” type replayability ### 5/5 — Vortexika *2021-04-18, version 1.0.64* Vortexika is very fun for kids. It is addictive but very cool. As a kid i’d say my favourite part is the accessories that you get. It can be frustrating when you lose at times but when you get the hang it is very fun. In conclusion, vortexica is a very fun and cool game and you should play it! ### 5/5 — Totally addictive game *2021-04-15, version 1.0.50* Slick little space shooter that’s hard to put down! Highly recommended. It’s flappy bird meets astroids meets, well ... a vortex. ### 5/5 — Classic arcade fun with modern updates *2021-04-15, version 1.0.50* Silky smooth + great controls. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
