"Listen up we've just got a sweet new gig, Seems those pesky alien bugs have got into the Spaceholes again. They're blocking the way of some luxury space cruisers. All those poor rich people trying to get to a pleasure planet. Boo hoo.
Well its good news for us. Gas up your ship and go squash some bugs!"

Community Insight:
We enjoy the game, it reminds us of one of our favorites. We also like the watch version. However, and its a big one, we would like more turns before game over. Most games give you three tries before ending the game. This would make the game more fun.
This is a great little game for Apple Watch, but its 100% hampered by only having one life instead of three. You could also have some 1up ships to capture that give you +1 life (optional) but for heavens sake at least give us more lives to start. It makes a great game into a complete bore after a short time. Please look at your reviews and see how many people have asked for this feature.
This game is a game of the week for us and our friends who have played it and are enjoying it as much as they can today but its still not as good as it can be.
Impressed the way it looks and plays. Reminds us of all those times playing Tempest and Galaga in the arcades in the 80s. BUT, with only a single life it loses its allure rather quickly. We grew up with 3 lives and an extra life when getting to a certain score or level, which game theory suggests it makes us come back for more. Unfortunately with one life we never played again after an hour. So a big star off for that, almost dropped to a 3, but an update with our suggestion would be a solid 5. Graphics look great on the Ultra and game play is solid. Gimme some lives.
Ive been looking far n wide for Mac/IOS version of Tempest. This game is very good. Id give it 5 stars if there were versions for Mac and/or iPad. Big thing missing is iPhone version wont play in landscape mode, no hapt reaction feature, and just the same circular playing field unlike the old arcade version. Glad this game exists but wish a more fully featured version could be developed, especially for Apple Arcade. Happy New Year.
Great little space shooter. Heaps of fun in your Apple Watch.
Looks like a child programmed this game.
We dont like giving a bad review rather just stay silent but we cant with this game cause it will not install. We would like to try this game out but unfortunately it will not install on our series 5 watch.
We absolutely love this game. We play when Im in the bathroom or when we need a little break from work sometimes. Love the way the game was set up, very fun.
This game has a great, innovative use of the watch crown to make a fun game. We didn't think games could be well adapted to the watch but this app does it well.
So how do we play the game? After install (which now it say purchased), theres no indications anywhere on the iPhone nor on the watch…no new icons, etc.
Just wished you can control the sensitivity of the dial.
Thanks for developing what looks to be a nice and addictive game.
Its simply a great game and it brings us back to arcade style games design wise. We would recommend it for sure.
