I enjoyed the game briefly on my older device. Unfortunately, it was rashing with external controller connected. It was also impossible for me to play the game on newer hardware, because the app is not compatible with newer devices (Android 13). I would really appreciate updating the game, so I could enjoy the game to its fullest.

Update. Whenever I connect a USB-C controller to my phone this game crashes. When this bug is fixed, I would be happy to re-review. The Master System/Game Gear originals are held in high regard and this remake works incredibly well and is faithful to the original. Highly recommended for old and new gamers

I love the game and have no issues with how the game runs. The reason for my low rating is I don't like virtual buttons so I use my controller to get around this. However, when I connect my USB-C controller to my phone the game instantly crashes. I sent a report and a direct email with no response. I just want to know if the game has a bug or if this is intended. My rating will jump straight to 5-stars if the controller can work with it.
