Better than expected for touch based controls. Definitely better than the controls for the DotEmu versions of R-Type 1 and Ys 1 and 2.

Love the graphics, but I'm having trouble regarding ing the interface, I'm not able to discern the outside (damaging) edges of the hazards and projectiles I'm facing in the game. Can you define the hazards and projectiles with different values and/or textures where possible? Also is there a sensitivity switch to speed up/ or slow down? Maybe it's just me, but I don't have any similar issues with any other of the titles I play. I'm either 2 slow/ or 2 fast.

Good game worth the $2 it's just like it was whenever I was a kid a very challenging game but very worth playing you feel like you achieve something whenever you actually make it through you die super easily and I'm off on a lot but it's worth playing I recommend it
