PLAYER CONTROL TIPS
Tip 1: Learn to quickly lift your left thumb & then touch again to “reset” the distance between your thumb & ship. E.g. push your ship forward then lift + retouch behind & above to fly near the ground, etc.
Tip 2: You can very quickly fire both your Lasers + Bombs by sliding your right thumb up & down over the buttons. You don’t need to lift your thumb (& both buttons are auto-fire).

    This was my favourite arcade game. "Remember the good ol' 1980s, when things were so uncomplicated", to quote a great ELO space themed song. The album it's from reminds me of Bladerunner.

    This is so awesome! However, I seem to be having trouble connecting my bluetooth controllers. I have an 8 Bitty and an iControlPad. My iControlPad is showing in BT settings that it's "connected", but when I select "map BT gamepad" I get an error message "Either BT is not turned on or GamePad not connected". 4 Stars just for this existing. lol. I'll give an extra star if I can get this blasted BT controller to work. :)

    I love how it feels like a real arcade with credits as coins It's very hard like the original but I dont remember a color palette like this one but that's not a problem when you just want to see something retro

    As a player of the original game as a teen, the game is very close. The only problem is the interface. There should be a joystick. Without one, evasive maneuvering problematic. In addition, the fire/bomb buttons should be next to one another, they are misplaced. Maybe the next version will provide these or a similar remedy. Update: In response to the developer's reply, yes the buttons should be placed horizontally. Also, I will try the on-screen joystick as requested...
