Laggy but good.

The gamepad support (PS4) is laggy. Death will collect you.

Bugs on iPad

Great game however, it is buggy if you run it on an iPad. Your spaceship will randomly jump from the left side of the screen to the far right.

Awesome except for a few flaws

This was one of my favorite games when I was growing up and I am totally addicted to this new version. The only reason I’m giving it four stars and not five is that the touchscreen controls are buggy and frequently get jammed where you cannot move the spaceship, especially if you are touching two controls at the same time.

Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire!

It’s R-Type… what’s not to like? The controls work pretty well. I was able to play through the first stage on the first try (as I usually can), and then the creepy things on the second stage got me (as they usually do). So feels like R-Type to me 😉

Controls way too large and in the way!

Controls are broken. Doesn’t support entire screen. Can’t move controls off to the side and they cover the game so you can’t see. Also, the buttons are too large! Please fix!
