Super Arc Light Reviews
This is just a great game. No cons about it, but it is running a little slow on 1st Gen IPad Mini.
This is the best game we’ve downloaded lately. Great soundtrack.
We love this game it is so simple we don’t really like games that have all these games high graphics and lag this is just a dot that shoots and it is funnnnn.
We just like hardcore games. Make it even harder.
Such an amazing game, we’ve spent many hours playing it since we got it. Although, there needs to be just a tiny bit of balancing. For example, theres the 2 rings of enemy swarms, then 2 motherships spawned behind that. Thats a bit insane, no matter who the player is. So maybe spawning time need to be worked on a bit, but otherwise a very well developed game!
There’s a lot of games on the App Store and a lot of it can be pretty bad. This game is addicting and tight. Great visuals. Easy to learn difficult to master. PLENTY of variety on weapons and unlocking them. No pay to unlock, no time issues. An amazing arcade homage!!!
Awesome game that will absorb you in moments you are bored. We wish our battery life will last more to play it all the time xD. It’s very simple and Fun. There’s a bunch of power-ups that will keep you on. All this, just for a dollar? Yes! Thanks for the developers for such a game! Please don’t stop updating it. Thanks!
Best mobile game we’ve ever played. Definitely looking forward to more updates with more weapons, modes, exc. For a dollar this is the best time killer/bathroom/before class game you can get.
2 days of playing this app and we’re already high score and power up chasing. Fun, simple yet difficult at the same time, and very addictive. Get it now!
This is super fun u can’t Dinie it and be careful it’s really addictive we just started and it really got to me.
Great shooter! New update re-balances many issues. Such a blast to play! We don’t buy lots of apps at all, but this is worth it.
We’re actually surprised this game doesn’t have more reviews. It’s a great video shoot ’em up game. The best thing we like is the minimal gameplay.. One thumb.. Anywhere you like on the screen. We suffer from chronic pain and believe us, it helps to move as little as possible. Our thumbs and hands can ache after playing on the tablet.. But not with this game!
This game is rewarding to play. Most games go between 3-5 minutes and are action packed. The game never goes easy on you but it’s a fair amount of challenge. You do find yourself improving as your score goes up. This game is just satisfying and well done.
Simple to play. Hard to put down. Not much of a gamer here. Our last game we were hooked on was angry birds. Ya. We know. Then comes this game. Love it. And we can’t wait to play it with the update. Should be even better. Like one reviewer stated "it has that just one more game" feel to it. Awesome game. Minimalistic yet addictive. Fun for the whole family…. Almost. Not little babies because they will just put the phone or tablet in their mouth. Then your phone or tablet may have liquid damage and you won’t be able to play this awesome game!!!!
This a great example of what twitch gaming ought to be. No currency system, poorly contrived plot, social media integration, or other unnecessary garbage. Just straightforward entertainment. Yes it’s hard at first, but once you’ve got the controls it’s a fun time-waster.
Especially with the new gameplay, Super Arc Light is addicting! Great fun!
This game is probably the best shooter we’ve played for a mobile phone, it’s fun, it’s creative and you got different shooting powers u get every so often and it’s great. 5 stars on the spot.
The graphics are very smooth and the gameplay is awesome for a shoot em up.
Possibly the only game we’ve ever played with no pause feature. It’s like being born without a belly button. How does one wipe and play in a sanitary fashion?
This game blends retro music with fast simple but challenging game play. Hands down our favorite game on the phone. They have done an EXCELLENT job paying homage to classic games but keeping a modern feel to it!
Simple 80’s-style gameplay. Lots of fun – especially since the recent update. Basically a variation on classic Space Invaders style shooters but with the player in the center and enemies coming from all around and fun power ups. We would have dumped dozens of quarters into this game back in the day!
We really like it and we don’t think we will be play more than a month but it is really cool and original and we think the developers of this game could make more game modes with this product.
Decently fun, just hard to get used to.
The best iphone game we’ve ever played. Though the graphics may not be satisfying but the gameplay is amazing.
We think for most of us it starts off a little confusing and slightly frustrating getting a hang of things. But as as soon as you get a hang of things the game gets very addictive. We enjoy how engaging and simple the game is. If your looking for an arcade game to fall in love with then you dont need to look further. We have 2 suggestions for the Devs. The mechanics are simple and therefor near perfect, but- we would revisit the "side shot" and consider buffing it, if not get rid of it as a powerup. Secondly we’ve noticed the horizontal hit box on the " X fighter enemy" needs a very small adjustment.
We got this game quite a while ago when it was the free app of the week, but we definitely would have paid money for it if we had to. It’s very challenging, but not frustrating at all. In fact, it’s almost relaxing. The soundtrack is amazing, and it’s very hard to stop playing. If you’re on the fence about buying Super Arc Light, just go for it- it’s worth your money and your time.
When your in a trip with no internet it’s fun to whip out your phone and play this game, we recommend buying if you have a lot of trips and have nothing too do!
Really good game, loved the graphics, nothing too developed but right on the spot, and loved the design of the game, really simple but also really innovative, so we guess you could say less is more, and would totally apply with this game, it’s a new way to play space shooters, at least thats how we define this game, really addictive and pretty easy to get involved with, nothing too hard, our friends and our little cousins are enjoying right now this game too, this game has a very friendly interface at the beginning and totally love the fact that the more you progress in the game, the more weapons you have making this game more entertaining and addictive, it also has the fact that you have the leaderboards so if you get really excited about this game you can compete against players worldwide or even better, with yourself, its an amazing game, worth every cent, would buy it again if we had too, you are paying the exact amount for a game that will get you out of your boredom.
We’re the 200th person to write a review, haven’t played it yet.
Super Arc is a simple and addictive game. To us this is the perfect iPhone game. It requires limited time for maximum reward and it’s tough enough to keep you coming back for more.
Amazingly fun! Great controls, neat concept, and never frustrating! Well worth the 0.99.
Simple, elegant, quick to learn but takes skills!
It’s like a smooth version of Space Invaders. It’s simple, yet awesome. Really great work.
This game is great we love it. Im curious as to if yall could make this game Apple Watch compatible.
We love everything about this game it’s fun, and entertaining. But there’s 2 things we would hope you will do for us since we’re a loyal user. 1. If you could but a feature were we can enable/ disable the sound effects so we don’t hear anything so we can listen to music and play this will be really helpful. 2. If you can add more las variations in order to spice up the game. Thank you for listening we really would like if you did #1.
Great app for the most part, but some glitches could be sorted out and power modes could have a little more complexity.
We love this game! We just need to ask you if you can put a pause button on this. Also, can you make a button to disable the music? We want to listen to our own while we’re playing this game.
Super Arc Light is an extremely addicting game! Our dirty dishes are screaming as we sit here and try to beat our high score. We didn’t play it much when we first downloaded it, but now that we understand it fully, it is hard to put down. Perfect, simple game to play to kill time (not perfect for when you have important things to do!) then again, beating a high score is pretty important…
We’ve noticed this new update has a bug where sometimes new waves will start coming before the current wave has been finished and sometimes there will be three waves going at a time.
Super Arc Light is a minimalist arcade shooter where you have to defend the innermost circle. You do that with only one button. Your player spawns in rotating around the inner circle automatically. Tap and hold the screen to fire as well as slow your ship down. Let go to change directions. It’s not the most elegant control scheme and requires a good amount of precision to perform basic tasks. This game could have easily benefited from a more precise control scheme that allows you to move two directions separately. But hey, at least it doesn’t rely on virtual buttons. The gameplay is nice and simple, just what you would expect from a top down arcade shooter. Waves of enemies spawn and you must defeat them before they reach the center. This can be tricky as you need to time your taps to hit the enemies and lead your shots, especially with a control scheme that punishes you for missing by making your ship go the opposite direction. We can see this game being fun to master. As it stands right now, if you are willing to deal with a funky control scheme for a decent top down shooter, Super Arc Light may be worth your download.
This game is wicked hard, but that makes it a lot of fun when you do finally get on a roll.
We bought this game for 3 bucks and they make it free good game tho.
