Need a bug fix ... I will change my review after the game will open and play.
I purchased this app in 2012 and I emailed the dev for assistance. Crickets, no response. Disappointing customer service and as a result I had to purchase the game again just to allow my kids to play it.
Hey any advice when it never starts to download?
I have this game on my phone for years but suddenly if I move the ship too far back on the screen it reappears at the front and I instantly crash!
Why did you have to allow for Level 4 of this Game to be so difficult to win on!!! You Game Programmers suck!!! Most of the time a Video Game is only fun if I am able to win with very little difficulty.
Controls suck!!!!
I paid the 2.00 dollars a the game did not show up
The controls are so terrible
Purchased game, won't load. Mugged
Bug makes it unplayable. I am playing this on a new zenfone 9 with the touch screen option for movement (the d pad is way too unresponsive). sometimes and at some point during the game if I pull my thumb back and let go slightly my ship will teleport to the very front of the screen and inevitably blow up
You are paying for this but you can't play with this if you don't agree that they will have access on your photo, file, camera etc. FISHY game. Don't buy it.
Very buggy game but looks like r type back in the day. I paid £1.60 for this. I wish I had a free version first. The most annoying thing is depending on how you move your finger on the screen, the ship will warp to the far right of the screen regularly and into enemies or buildings.
I absolutely love this game I had it as a kid on my Sega mega drive then on iOS. Today I downloaded the game for my Google pixel phone so when I went to open the game it asked for permission to use my photos recordings contacts camera ect ect. I denied the permissions because I don't see why those things need to be turned on. Well 🤔 the game doesn't load without allowing full data harvest even though it's an paid for game.
