Community Insight:
Astro Attack is what mobile games should be, quick, to the point and incredibly fun. The game play is extremely smooth and responsive. If you were a fan of Space Invaders give this game a try! This is our modern day Space Invaders.
This is the best game it has so many ships and a lot of quest we like it.
Great game play. Perfect throwback aesthetic. Thank you.
Best space arcade shooter Ive found.
Fun shooter, and fun to collect all space ships. Perfect for waiting areas and killing time.
Great game….got 350,000+Credits but still can not open up/get the last 2 ships. Again great game just want to see the final ships.
Ya yeet our dude buy this game homeboi yo uh won't regret it is the beat space shooter we've played better than every space shoote. Dab.
Is not bad Get game Play game Game good.
We love unlocking new ships and what not.
This is the best app ever thanks for making the game.
There is not a better arcade shooter out there. Play alone, compete with friends, the possibilities are endless.
Read Touch Arcades review on Astro Attack and we agree with it, this game has some great features paying homage to some classics.
It's a neat little game that has a ton of fun Easter eggs.
Best XY space shooter in the app store so far. It's auto shoot but it gets pretty intense so it would be impossible if it wasn't. Over all, the embrace of the 8-bit art and sound style along with the many ships you can earn (or buy) makes this an enjoyable and engaging little game.
Fun little shooter with lots of fun ships to unlock.
Us and our son love this game, needs some better power up tho.
The only game that has ever gotten us to actually watch ads for the sake of getting additional stuff. Highly addicting, crafted with love, excellent.
Good game just crashes after the first play.
Addictive game which rewards very well.
Very addicting. We play it every chance we get.
Classic fun just like the old arcade.
This game is so fun. We have spent hours on it, and the secret ships and codes are awesome.
Still can't figure out the secrets even with hints.
This is probably the best time waster ever! We played it on a 4 hour flight the whole way.
A very smooth game! Also we want coins.
We like it especially the arcade feeling with the mobile game mix to it.
Really amazing , old school feel on the mobile you can't beat it. Very challenging and the different ships and scenes are thrilling, Although , our only wish would be to play as the ship from Futurama, it still is a pretty neat game to play at any moment . Think about that Futurama Ship tho … 4 stars.
We love the Easter eggs are in it like the doom ship.
U should a jet that has to modes like to transform.
This is a great game, however the only thing preventing us from giving it a four star review is the frame rate lag we experience with some of the ships such as the voltron inspired ships. We would love this tweaked in whatever way it is possible.
Fun so far but we can tell we'll be sick of it soon.
It's fun we like how u get new shops.
Very awesome game, perfect time killer.
This game is the one to go to if you want to kill time or just have fun. You can earn coins and get new ships that you buy with the coins and there are daily prizes that give you free coins.
Great controls and really fun ships to unlock. It's a good free game.
This game is a blast! Reminds us of the stand up arcade games from the 80s! Tons o fun.
With its classic arcade style and rewards system, this game makes for a very enjoyable play. We got it and spent the next 2 hours playing it over and over again because it reminded us of when we used to go to the arcade.
Great addicting game that we found out we can't put down.
10/10 would play again and we shall.
Retro style, lots of ship options. Fun game.
This game is addicting to play and is a great time killer.
Addicting! Would love it if you could customize guns as well like homing missiles and other things.
Great game! Very simplistic with retro feel (obviously lol).
This game is very addictive, but for future reference add some upgrades, such as fire rate.
We finally get a good remake of a classic game.
It's a good game to play when your bored.
Needs some sort of better upgrades seriously the game is super fun. However, a faster shooting rate, quicker mobility, etc. Would really help. Would be a real cool feature but overall nice game.
It is a very good shooter game and will play it again.
It's like an arcade game that is super fun.
Great game graphic are old school arcade easy to play what more can you say but great game very addictive.
