Community Insight:
Our favorite game! We were never able to find it on iPhone after we switched from Windows Phone. Whats up with that.
The only game on our iPhone. We loved this game years ago, and have periodically checked for an update since. Very delighted to see it available again, YES! Plenty of fun, never bored with it.
We dont think you have any idea how happy we are to see this game downloadable again thank you so much we love this game and will never delete it thank you omg.
This was one of our favorite games growing up on ios. If you gamuts can update it to work on the XR that would be amazing. We miss this game so much. Dont add anything just make it compatible with the new phones or software.
Please, please, please, we wanna play Ballistic! Please 64 bit support.
The game is fun and addicting to play we love this game.
We've playing this game for years. It's such a stress relief.
Perfect. Needs iPhone 6 update.
A very additive game. Our favorite game of the Radian Games. Highly recommend!! We hope they come out with more versions of this type of game. Excellent.
Probably one of the most brilliant mobile games we've ever played.
Radiangames releases awesome games; this game amazing. If you don't like 80's style arcade shooters, don't bother…if you like insane, and we mean INSANE 80's style arcade shooting with absolutely mesmerizing visuals, buy this game.
We'll done! Highly recommended.
Easily our favorite twin stick shooter on iOS. The game looks and controls great and has plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
This is an extremely fun and satisfying twin stick shooter. We love it on our Xbox, and it's great to have it on our iPad now too. The touch controls work great, and feel very precise. Practice mode is the easy difficulty level which is great for learning, or if you just want a relaxed experience. Normal difficulty gets hard but is still very satisfying.
We own this game on our xbox too. The Xbox version has 1-2 different enhancements but the gameplay is still the same. Glad we can play this while waiting for the plane! Stunning visuals and easy controls make this game great.
This game is great – we were extremely happy we took the plunge and bought it… It's incredibly addictive, but at no point are you left feeling as though it's unbeatable (even though it's unbeatable by the very definition of "endless")… The graphics are incredible on the retina display iPad. Just get it.
Really great twin-stick shooting. Recommended for any Geometry Wars fan.
This instantly joined the ranks of the best dual stick shooters in the AppStore. It's visually impressive, has tight controls, and all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a great ds shooter.
This is such a wicked shmup. We have played an beaten all the other games, so we're right at home stomping waves after wave of enemies. Perfect challenge, awesome replay, and really one of the best value for a shooter out there. Thanks! Btw, those yellow seeker jerks are a pain in the butt, thanks for adding them. Hehe.
Lots of fun for the $.99 it cost. Cool edition to the twin-stick shooter genre.
Twin-stick shooter that features flawless controls, challenging gameplay, and eye-popping graphics. Ballistic SE is one of the best games of its kind on the AppStore.
Should implement 3D touch for rapid fire, and use the whole right half of the screen for aiming.
Excellent game play. We only wish there was a bit more variety in the enemies ( formations? Something other than different color orbs?) and arena.
The game is just well put together. Decent music, great visuals for its simplicity, and good replay ability.
We love this game. A lot better than Geometry Wars.
This game is so addicting! It has great graphics so it looks super crisp while playing. The controls are genius and very responsive and the concept is simple yet complex. If we could have only one game on our iPhone it would be Ballistic SE.
Luke brings us great joy. Joy Joy, even.
Um dos melhores jogos dual stick para Iphone. Vale a pena com certeza. :).
This is a really great dual shooter game.
Best game ever we love it can't put it down we're taking a crap right now that's how much we love this game and the best part is we got it free on apps fire thank you apps fire and thank you guys for making a great game.
Very simple, addicting, and so much fun. Easy to start and stop in a moment of free time.
If you like dual stick shooters you have to get this, this and Beat Hazard are our two favorites on iOS.
Spectacularly beautiful game on the Retina iPad. Truly one of the best looking games and we have hundreds. It's not too hard and a lot of fun, especially with auto fire. Parenthetically, this is also probably one of the best twin-stick shooters, but you don't have to play it as a twin-stick since it also has auto-fire and aim.
Great update to a great game. Suggestion: Add More achievements.
We really enjoy this game. It has a simple concept: if it moves shoot it, pick up bonuses, and see how long you can survive. Yes, it can be considered redundant and boring by some people, but it isn't for us. We can play this for hours. It reminds us of an old arcade game called "Robotron 2084", which we loved.
Very colorful, cool music, lots and lots of blasting away enemy orbs. We have to stop because our fingers start hurting.
Most addictive game on our iPhone.
This game is has everything to like in a twin-stick shooter… Upgradable weapons, increasing difficulty, no twin-sticks– wait, what? Thats right, there is an option to not use the shooting stick, leaving you with controlling the aircraft… Thing… Anyhow, we rated the game so high, because though it looks and feels like any other grid based twin-stick shooter, it is so much more than that.
It's a very colorful strategy tape game we have fun for many hours great game.
Different upgrades and ultra fast gameplay make this game fun for hours.
Flawless GUI, great art, and progressively rewarding challenges make this an extremely fun game.
The best thing about radiangames is the clean graphics. Clear colors that stand out make enemies and bullets easy to see, making a more pure experience.
Great game very fun, we could play for hours.
Quite entertaining. Move the pause button.
Ballistic SE has definitely earned its way to the top ten of our favorite IPhone Games. The optional one stick control option assisted by autofire/autotarget has surely saved our thumbs the trouble of trying to move about on such a small screen. We enjoy the soundtrack and can only ask that in future updates you add some more excellent tracks to the music palate of the game. Great work RadianGames.
Very good app that really proves a chellenge for those who like challenges and beating high scores.
It's very addicting and it's like Geometry Wars! That was a good game.
This game is sexy It's addictive and amazing.
This game is really interesting. We've been laying this game non stop.
We usually don't write reviews but this game is so psychotic!!!!! It's like constant explosions of testosterone in your face.
