Ratings and reviews

Too many ads, about one every three levels. And after an ad plays you are just brought to the play field nonchalantly. We need a few seconds to reorient ourselves back into the action. Or just an ad after every boss fight should suffice. It would also be nice to jump ahead several levels, say every 25 or so either from start or unlocked. Right now it's too easy and I do not like to sit and play through all those to get to the challanging stuff. Great game though. Also no intrusive permissions.

Decent effort, but way too easy. I can generally only destroy the third boss in the arcades. I did it here several times. Auto fire is a convenience, but without more difficult enemies, it just makes it pointless. Enemies get slaughtered with in seconds of appearing. The Phoenix's themselves when they hatch from eggs should be pretty hard, but again no trouble. We also need a pause button. Nice graphics, but things are off like shield recharge time, scoring and wave formations and dive attacks.

I kind of remember not liking this much as a kid. Was like a harder version of Galaga in some ways, lol. I don't mind it now. And this is a really good port of the retro original, just like your other titles. I wish there were more options for the control layout, I keep using shield by accident. Other than that it's great
