Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Very fun to play and looove the music! We sold our Apple Watch a while ago but still play on our iPhone.
Cant complain keeps us busy when we have nothing to do.
Its just boring. Not what we expected. Maybe good for watch but not good for iPad or iPhone.
We feel it dumb cause it doesnt support our series 2.
Its meant to be controlled with the crown, not the touch screen, which is what the neg reviewers were most likely doing.
This game is awesome, and pretty cheap. Fun gameplay. Theres action but also thinking. Reminds us a bit of old Nintendo games, but with much better graphics and better gameplay of course. If youre into this kind of games buy it for sure, you wont be disappointed.
We decided to give the underdog a chance. Totally paid off. This game is fun. Works flawlessly on the series 4. There's times where we need to kill time and don't have our phone on us. They make you completely empty your pockets before getting in line to ride a coaster at universal Orlando for example. No phone, but we'll still have this fun game on our watch to keep us occupied while standing in line. As the dev keeps mentioning, use the crown to control the ship. We're having zero problems, just fun. We think operator error is the reason for low star ratings.
We purchased the app thinking it was going to be a game to use in our free-time but its not what we expected. Would like a refund had this game less than 4hours.
People are a bit critical of this game. For 2 bucks its a cool watch game with retro graphics. Use the Digital Crown instead of finger on screen for quicker control. Dev seems to make frequent updates so even better.
We only purchased this to have a game on our Apple Watch and this seemed to be the least silly of the limited games available. We realized immediately what a bad choice it is. While it works great on the phone, on the watch your finger tip covers a good portion of the screen and you cant see the ship and objects. Also does not respond well to touch on the watch either.
Two versions of the exact same game, one game where you get one life with very little goals and a game that is ok at best. Not worth the price.
We bought this to play on our Apple Watch series 4. The game opens to a black screen and thats all you get. It will not launch. We hope Apple has some kind of refund policy because this is completely useless.
Downloaded and found that it would randomly jump to center of the screen and we dont have a problem with any other game. If not for that would be a fun game.
Exciting little game to take the edge off the day on ur iwatch.
It takes long to load and sometimes dose not respond to touch, but other than that this game is a blast.
Downloaded app, does not show up on Apple Watch, doesnt even show up as compatible, waste of a dollar.
Great and simple game that can be played easily on watch whenever you want to. Fast gameplay, great for a quick fix while waiting on hold or something.
We really like this app. It is finally an app that seems to be using the watch for entertainment. It is simple and fun. Probably just a little diversion when your waiting in line or something. Overall, good app.
Worth the purchase Especially for the Apple Watch Entertaining.
Bought this for a quick play on the Apple Watch. It is a great time filler. Its even more fun on the bigger screen of the iPhone. LOVE it! Simple. Just wish there was a setting to turn off sound and music.
We cant get the app on our Apple Watch, we have the Watch app and it isnt an available app to add to our watch… Any suggestions.
We really wish other developers would come up with some more solo watch games like this one it's great to kill time while waiting for the docs And stuff LOL LOL LOL.
Really fun game but it some times freezes.
Game is fun enough for the Apple Watch. Game broke with one of the updates but now it works fine.
Really cool and simple game for watch yet complex! Easy to play and addicting.
This is a fun space arcade game. Crown works great as a controller and little to no lag on our Apple Watch 1. Work the buck. Not we can quickly and easily escape work for a quick space battle on our wrist.
It won't work on our Apple Watch. The screen come up with the plane but it won't let us actually play the game. Any suggestions please we really want to play it on our watch.
App crashes on Apple Watch and even when deleted and reinstalled doesn't work, at least the app works on our phone so it's not wasted money.
Works and looks great, best that we have seen.
Awesome sauce! Will give 5 stars when game center high scores come. Gotta have competition.
We wasn't expecting a demanding game here, just a basic rail shooter. But it is a terrible, repetitive shooter that annoys you with ads, even on the lock screen in iOS 10, requires purchases to make the game anything but fundamentally basic, and the watch app could very well be made by a 7 year old. It has no music, 2 sound effects, the background never changes and the collision detection is terrible. And unlike the actual crappy iOS game, the watch game lacks diverse enemies, any power ups, and is completely mindless. We can't believe this app costs money. We always buy an app if it will result in removing advertisements and nagging, and this app does that more than any free ones we have. Avoid like the plague. There are way better games for the watch.
Nice, simple and attractive game! Would be great on Apple Watch as well as iPhone.
Run ultra smooth on our Retina iPad mini and iPhone 5s! A must try.
We figured since the dev took the time to spam our non-iOS forum to advertise his game is give it a try. It's about as lame as we imagined. Deleting now.
Heyy!!u should be surprised that the editors r only two children!!Dont say its stupid,Im prove of them two.We can't stop!we won't stop playing it.
This game got even better after the latest update. Can't stop playing it! Wonderfull graphics & action. Thank you.
Worst game ever played. Not worth even a penny. Will delete it from our iPad.
Worst game ever … Deleted after 30 secs.
Everything they develop is inexpensive or free works well and is fun for kids and adults. For 99cents this app is a must have. It's challenging yet easy to play. We can't wait to let our 4 year old nephew play it along with a few others that recently came out. Great work developers.
The recent update really helped! The app is smooth and fun to play! Highly recommend getting.
He really like this game, hew said is similar to a game he used to play when he was 10.
We miss Galaxian. This has great graphics and action. We even play it with a stylus. Really needs to track top scores and allow you to win more lives. That would earn five stars. For .99 cents it's a must-buy.
Less than 5 seconds in to this game (literally) we heard ourselves grumbling, "oh jeeeeeziz." And that was that. Delete.
