★★★★★ Outstanding port, Outstanding business practices
Thu Sep 09 2021 watermelonieeeUnlike other apps that drown you in ads, this arcade port just makes you purchase the game. In my opinion this is better. And the port is phenomenal. Not only is gameplay phenomenal and accurate to the arcade, but the settings allow players to re-create the experience of the arcade cabinet version they grew up with. You can seamlessly change between monotone, color, the cellophane overlay, and the original moon backdrop. You can also choose between a joystick or buttons. It even has tilt control options! I do have two small issues with the app. Using the moon backdrop option, the UFO is incorrectly colored white instead of red. Secondly, the menu could use a slight update. It is obvious that this app is a relic from the App Stores early days. That being said, they have updated the app to keep it functional and full screen unlike some older apps. I would definitely recommend this.
★★★★★ Seems fine to me
Sat Oct 15 2016 Loomie239I haven't played this game on my iPhone for quite a while, so I'm not familiar with the updates that people are complaining about. I just now played it for the first time in a long time, and I found it extremely enjoyable and I have no idea why people are complaining about the updates. I found it to be flawless and reminded me of the time when I worked as a dishwasher at a bar that had this game in 1981 and we would drill a hole in a quarter and used thin fishing line to get free games. Personally, I highly recommend this app.
★★★★★ This is how to make a retro port!
Wed Jan 16 2019 HexNashNear-perfect arcade emulation of the original game with bonus artwork and tips as well as challenging achievements. No ads, in-app purchases, or any other junk bogging it down. Only “complaint” is that the gyroscope and slide control options are useless except for the achievements for trying them out; I doubt anyone actually prefers them. Other developers should take notes from this app.
★★★★★ This is the real one!
Mon Oct 21 2024 totallyfrozenIt’s nice to see original game developers port their own games over to iOS. Space Invaders seems to work flawlessly. It behaves exactly as I remember the old arcade versions behaving (not harder or easier). Back in the day, I spent MANY quarters in the arcade on this and many hours on the Atari 2600 playing this. This port looks good, sounds right, and it’s loads of fun. Worth the $4 to me.
★★★★★ Please bring back Infinity Gene.
Sun Aug 25 2024 Ilikegaming2024Taito, if you're seeing this, please bring back Infinity Gene. It's been almost 7 years since it became unavailable on IOS 11 and later. I hope this game comes back and has added support for the newer IOS versions so I can finally play the game again and relive my childhood nostalgia.
★★★★★ Good game
Tue Nov 23 2021 krishivhatesthisgameI beat space invaders first try when I down load it this game it is not a ripoff it laggy tho so that the only problem you should slow down the last invader it super fast and it goes down so it easier and harder
★★★★★ Great!
Sun Nov 27 2022 Johnny SambonesAfter getting and paying for a clone (The Invaders, which I highly recommend) I figured I’d buy this one as well. I’m happy with both! I play this, the original, when I want just a little bit more of a challenge. I’m happy!!!
★★★★★ Nope...want a refund!
Tue Apr 16 2019 DW65I’ll be complaining to Apple and demanding a refund. Spent 4 bucks on a game that indicated it was updated for iPhone X. All they did was fill the screen with cartoony wallpaper borders on top and bottom and kept the same tiny iPhone 5 size screen for gameplay. Cheap lazy jerks, minimal effort just to say it was updated for new phones...but really it wasn’t at all. WEASEL deception and makes the game totally crappy to play. Thanks for nothing and the work I have to do now requesting a refund.
