This game is awesome, more so if you're old enough to have played the original on genesis or another console. The problem with the mobile version of this game is there are no controllers, you must use your thumb. Problem is, a game like this can only be played with full view of the screen, and your thumb blocks your view of the screen. Impossible to play at a certain point once things get going. Great soundtrack and visuals. Very nostalgic.

Seems mostly faithful to the arcade original, but there are some issues. The aspect ratio has been changed to 9:16 from the original's 3:4, making everything appear stretched, with no display options to work with. Minus one star for that. Another for having in-game ads but no purchase option to get rid of them. The menu music is far louder than the music and sfx during normal play. Not sure how useful speedups are due to touch controls. As with many mobile shmups, bomb use is difficult.

Always loved this classic game, ...unfortunately when playing on a mobile, the more difficult levels become very hard to see what you are doing in time to not get hit by the enemies, due to my finger constantly getting in the way of the screen while controlling my ship. It would be a bit easier if I had a mobile stylus pen, but I don't. Non the less, still a great classic shot em' up game that was originally meant to be played with a joystick.
