Ratings and reviews

I usually hate arcade games but this has something special. It feels right and you can always improve your game if your work at it. You don't have to memorize patterns of enemy movement either. It runs smooth and always feels fair, so there are no frustrating "the game bugged out" moments. Edit: I feel like my thumb is going to go raw playing this game so much.

Fun and hope it gets spen support. Right now when I try and use it with the spen the character moves even if I hoover so it makes it hard to control so I end up using my finger. But really wish I could use the stylus and the character would snap to the pen pointer when it touches the screen.

I love this game! After a couple of losses in other games, I get bored and quit. Spirit HD has three modes of which I play two; Classic & Pulse with Pulse being my favorite. After a couple lives in this game, I play again and again. This is because it's so quick to start another game, and because it's SO fun. The controls are incredibly responsive and you can fine-tune their sensitivity in the settings. I recommend starting out with the default, then up the sensitivity until it suits you.
