Galaga Wars for Negative User Reviews
✓ Progress not savedEdit: Literally saw my progress disappear in front of my eyes - highscore gone, cash gone, badges gone. Nah, you guys done broke the game with the last update. Can't play this anymore. No way I'm achieving anything close to my previous highscore yesterday. This game was good while it lasted. Previous review: Love this game. But since the last update my progress from yesterday has not saved. Can only be attributed to the new cloud saving feature. Hope this isn't going to become a common occurrence? Also hoping that you add another sector soon as well. Interest in this game beyond collecting ships is starting to wane..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Galaga Wars honest reviewThere’s many things to like about this game. The graphics are great, it’s great for a phone to have on your game, a good twist on the old classic. But there’s also things I HATE like the fact when you get a power up for your ship and then go straight into a new level it lasts about a QUARTER of the time as if you got it in the middle of a level. Also, I always die on the fourth or fifth level because the progression of difficulty is way to exponential. I don’t know how anyone has gotten past like, the tenth level if anyone even has..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Refund pleaseI do actually love the game but I bought 10,000 coins and after authorising the payment the began to hang on wait please. After 10 minutes I restarted the game no coins so I pressed to buy again and the game informed me that it had already been bought so my purchase was restored. Yet again no coins. This time I clicked restore my purchases and a box opened with 10,000 coins.....but they don’t show up. As it would appear you have closed your help desk hopefully apple will be able to sort it out!.Version: 3.3
✓ Can’t restore my record.😭😭😭.Version: 3.3
✓ Not happyCan't open the game. Nor can I delete it..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Ads ads ads!Fun game but the ads are excessive and all are 30 seconds long. I was hoping paying for a new ship would reduce ads.....nope. If you purchase a new ship you start from scratch, your progress from you other ships doesn't carry over. Getting tired of the longer format ads, will probably find a new game soon to entertain myself.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Completely ruined by advertsHow can a company so long in the videogame business get it so wrong? The look, speed & gameplay are spot on, but it's advert after advert after advert just to progress. & then they want you to throw more & more money at the game to try out novelty ships. If you love Galaga, you'll want to play this - but when you've played this, you won't love Galaga as much. Bandai Namco, you're ruining your own reputation & tainting the memory of a time when your games were the best..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Game froze before I could do anything.Installed the game. Started it up. Went to the settings menu to turn off the sound. Pressed home. Game froze. Nevermind..Version: 3.3
✓ BooAlways requiring to watch adverts. Why not just charge for the complete game?.Version: 3.4.1
✓ One life!!!!!Good but you only get ONE life,dont remember that on the original.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Too many adsIf I wanted commercials I'd watch TV.Version: 3.1.0
✓ I want to like this gameI want to like this game so bad, it’s a good game, really bring back childhood memories. The game play and control are good. I think they could do some improvements on the color scheme because it can be hard to see things with the busy background. But that doesn’t bother me too much. What really bothers me is the amount of ads I have to watch as I play the game, I feel like I’m spending a whole minute of ad watching for every 30 seconds of game play. The ads are EVERYWHERE, there’s an ad to start the game and there’s even an ad to use the second life. Those ads are super distracting and really take away the game enjoyment. I get that they need to make money but either charge for the game and make it ad free or be more strategic about placing the ads so it doesn’t distract player..Version: 3.4
✓ I like it but...Not like the old Galaga and WAY too many ads!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ The good old daysWhen I was young and played arcade games the fun was too get as far as you could . And you had 3 lives and got extra lives the better you played . I would have never payed 5.99$ just to play . Nor would have put up with watching an ad every damn time you die . This is the most disappointing part of what apps have become you should be ashamed of what your company has become !.Version: 3.3
✓ OK...I love Galaga, but this game not much. Playing with the fingers on the screen is not pleasent. At least, the original music is there. Even with a remix, it is cool..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Art looks too old and quirkyEspecially the design of ships looks so bland and weird tbh. I wouldn’t like to spend time and money in this game, based on the design of main characters. It looks uninspired and boring to the maximum, with a weird shape that resembles adult toys..Version: 3.4.1
✓ So BuggySo buggy, crashes all the time, screen freezes, ads start part way through play, game crashes after watching ridiculously long and seriously boring ads......Version: 3.4.1
✓ Not a bad game...Always played the retro Galaga in arcades and on my old Nintendo console. Loved it. This new and improved Galaga is fun, play it all the time. The only problem, as other reviews say, the commercials are just too much. That ruins the whole game and gives me a bad taste in my mouth. These ads should b removed or at the least cut half of them out. I’m hoping the ads get removed cause the game is great to play. Also, why is there no updates? I have all my ships, but no updates. No new ships? Is this all the game ends at? That’s my issues. Otherwise no a bad game..Version: 3.3
✓ Old School game --- BUTThe game is very fun to play. There are a couple of HUGE issues. 1. The ads are beyond ridiculous in this game. You can't do anything without ads popping up. I would be willing to pay for an upgraded version without ads. 2. When you die you don't immediately go right back in the game. After you die you get kicked back to a screen that wants you to..... You guessed it ----- watch ANOTHER ad even though you have lives sitting there. The only button on the screen that you can click on is for a stupid ad..Version: 3.3
✓ Very Fun, But…I generally enjoy playing Galaga Wars, but the advertising scheme that’s built into this game is way too aggressive. It damages the play quality of the game, and makes it more frustrating than it should be to get lives and transition from a failed run back to the main menu. There should at least be an option to pay for a full version that doesn’t include advertising pop-ups every little bit. If that was given as an option, I and others would likely pay for it. Even if the advertising scheme was simply toned down in its aggressiveness, it’d likely be a five-star app..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Adverts!Adverts are so long and intrusive it is unplayable..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Sis fixJust spoilt by the ridiculous amount of ads..Version: 3.4
✓ Current update needs some workI’ve had this for about a month, and it was pretty good. However the latest update is quickly turning me off the game. It’s now slow with some choppy animation. The player’s ship is noticeably less responsive. And the worst part for me is how they’ve really ramped up how often the ads appear. That wasn’t necessary..Version: 3.4
✓ Designed by committeeI can see a room full of developers all putting forward good ideas about how to improve on a classic game. Instead of choosing the best few ideas they made the mistake of using them all. What a mess. Too fast. Too busy. Really annoying not being able to just buy the game instead of being forced to watch ads all the time. Ship and weapon upgrades (if necessary in the first place) should be earned through game play not paid for. Greed wins again..Version: 3.3
✓ Too many adsEnjoyed the game until all the ads start to become so intrusive. I’d rather pay for the game..Version: 3.4
✓ Constantly forgets save fileEvery other time I go back to play this game it's rolled me back to about the second time I played the game. Uninstalled until fixed..Version: 3.1.0
✓ IrritatingSuper irritating advertising, deleted after 1 game.Version: 3.3
✓ ATo many adds.Version: 3.3
✓ Video Ad WarsPotentially decent shmup, beaten to death with the monetization stick. Try one of the Sky Force games instead?.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Proper Galaga please?Remake the original and you’ve got a great game. This is tosh..Version: 3.3
✓ Okay gameI love Galaga! I’ve been playing since the 80s! The PSP version was a ton of fun and then the mobile platform took the works by storm! I like this game but the gameplay isn’t seamless. I shouldn’t go out of the game after I die once just to say continue for the 2nd life... who thought this up! Then I PAY for the Katamari character and he comes with an extra life but guess what I HAVE TO WATCH A VIDEO OR PAY 100 COINS TO USE THE EXTRA LIFE! I’m what Galaga world does that make any sense!! I get it, you’re looking for every single angle to collect currency for this game but you’re going about it the wrong way! Clean the game up! The three lives shouldn’t cost commercial breaks and should be seamlessly in the gameplay. Going from one sector to the next shouldn’t cost me something if I have already beat the boss!! Come on! You’re better than what you’re putting out!! Katamari was the reason I even opted to download this game! You should point out that you have to BUY him since you’re using him to promote the game! You can’t win him or earn anything to get him, you have to right out pay for him, which I did!.Version: 3.3
✓ Great game except ads ruin it!!Could be a great game, but the bombardment of advertising videos makes playing it unbearable! Not at all clear in how to remove ads, or even if it’s possible. I’d pay to stop them!.Version: 3.3
✓ Ruined by ads you can’t turn offGame is ruined by ads. Can’t just play the game. No purchase option. Deleted.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great game ruined by adsI paid to get rid of the ads, but guess what? Yep, there are some still there, one of which failed to load and crashed the game. I loved Galaga back in the day, but this is an exercise in making money rather than providing a decent game..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Galaga WarsUpdate: 07/21/18 - DON’T BOTHER - NO UPDATES, Doesn’t work properly unless connected to network - full features ONLY when PAID FOR - even then, read other reviews - no response to support requests. Previous Review: REALLY liked this game(now past-tense). Recent updates to this once-great game now make it almost impossible to play to win any sort of previously known high scoring.... While it's great that one now has the ability fo get a 'second life', it does not seem attainable and reflects such with first showing 'two lives' and then goess back to 'one life'. This game HAS been a great and been thoroughly entertaining to play but like a lot of other games 'out there' now, has now become klewdged with excessive advertising and because of such, undue delays in returning to play. Regrettably(like another reviewer here), this game now disappoints much more than it entertains and has been deleted. Attention BANDAI NAMCO - you want me back - improve this game by utilizing a lot LESS advertising and making this game more like it was - FUN. END-USER RECOMENDATION - DO NOT download GALAGA WARS as there are simplier and much more entertaining renditions of this game available elsewhere on iTunes. End game = GAME DELETED. UPDATE - Galaga Wars has NOT made any further changes(still far too much advertising for even this LAME game - SHELLY The Shopper? REALLY?!), low score target values and overall, has not improved game-play. End-game = One star game rating now retracted and GALAGA WARS is now permanently deleted. Will NEVER download any other games by revenue-driven BANDAI NAMCO. FYI - one star rating stands as iTunes would NOT allow me to retract my previously left rating - nevertheless, my personal rating of ZERO stars still stands and will not download any games from this company again..Version: 3.3
✓ Restore purchasesI have bought lots of ships but on resetting phone lost all purchases and have been unable to restore. 😡.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Too many addsOnly lasted 10 minutes then uninstalled. Maybe remove the adds and I would be willing to pay..Version: 3.4.1
✓ The ads are excessiveDial back the ads. It seems to be a sick joke of how frequent and intrusive you can put the ads in..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Ads should be rated as wellOkay so I understand that not everyone feels or believes the way I do. How can you have a game that is rated 4yrs and up, but show ads of people’s heads being blown off their bodies in slow motion? The game that was advertised was rated MATURE 18 and up. If I download and install a game for my children, something I feel is innocent, I should have to worry about the previews. I don’t take them to a rated G movie and see rated R previews at the beginning of it. Not sure how all this is supposed to work but I’d like to know. Apple needs to do some changing in how preview are allows during the games. Anyways that my complaint other than this the game play is great..Version: 3.3
✓ Love it!Thanks for this great game. All the upgrading and level upping is really fun. I don’t play the classic control and love the crafts’ movement and their unique features. I play the free app and never make in-app purchases. I’ve never had any ads, except for one when leaving the arena back to the main board but, I’m pretty quick on the ‘x’ and, the ad barely opens. My only, and long standing complaint is the promised ‘coming soon’ ship that never comes. - The essence of click-bait. Not that I’m playing the game merely for that never-coming ship but, it is an example of the passive acceptance of a liar society. Most will scoff at this idea but, that just proves the point of the passive acceptance. Most don’t even see it as a lie. Well, they do but, pretend it doesn’t matter because they believe themselves smarter than the snakeoil salesman. The truth of the lie is accepted. I love the game but won’t support liars..Version: 3.3
✓ Not sure...I'm not sure what to think about this one. It's really hard to navigate even for the first time due to the infinite barrage of ads that you can't even buy your way out of unless you subscribe to apple arcade. That's galaga wars+, and after giving this one a chance and not fast travelling, it's totally playable if you can beat the game on one coin you won't get ads! You can also buy a stash of coins for pretty cheap, and it's not a bad game. It's just hard to understand what all's going on but the ads include playable classic schmup games like 1945 and galaxiga, but the dizzying amount of ads and hard to pick up the first time and no way to own the game makes me knock two stars honestly. But I wish I didn't have to. Apple store makes decisions that limit you every time, but I don't blame the game for it. However, it's plainly obvious that the game is heavily biased towards this platfrm because essentially we are stuck with a gacha version that gives you easy or cheap coins but if you were to spend your money you'd be left feeling bad because ultimately there's still ads, and a lot of 'em. With no way to make 'em go away but to get apple arcade... and that makes me understandably annoyed to want to use neither. And it's a shame because whoever developed this game made an okay galaga mobile game that is held back by shady corporate business politics... oh well! If you lose once, you can use the coin. If you lose twice you get the ad lol.Version: 3.4.1
✓ ClassicI love this game, it’s just like playing the arcade version just with better graphics. I don’t like that it requires so many points to purchase another ship. Especially when you only get one point per destruction of the little spinning thingy. I feel like you should get more points for every spinning thing you destroy because they come every few hours and it’s a bit discouraging when you only have 31 but need over a hundred to unlock more ships. And why do I have to watch a video or pay 100 coins in order to use my second life... How does that even make sense? You start with two lives but have to pay for the second one... The extra ship concept is whack too, in the arcade version you keep both ships until it gets destroyed or recaptured... It’s still an awesome game I just wish these things were corrected ASAP, please and thank you. I’m not sure if it’s intended but after watching a video for the final life it does not pause when your finger is not on the phone, but it pauses when you are playing while using your first life..Version: 3.3
✓ I upgraded my phone and my progression is lostI had all the ships upgraded to the top and when I switched my phone for my new one, I still had all the ships but all were downgraded zero…. So was my coins, my warp stones, etc… And now, I even lost the ships I’ve bought!!! Do you even read the comments? Very disappointing…. Thinking of deleting the game….Version: 3.3
✓ Brutal misguidance, great gameDo not download and especially don't spend money!!! Game play, graphics, nostalgia and sound, this game practically has it all... except as other reviewers point out annoying videos to allow play continuation. There are constant pointers to purchase new aircraft which will provide an extra life and even removal of "static ads" whatever that means. I felt "this is a great game, I'm going to pay what is fair value to avoid the ads so I can enjoy the game and feel good by rewarding professional development." Wrong!!! You get an extra life but although removing the static ads, they are replaced with longer and more intrusive interactive and video ads... absolutely brutal! What a ripoff..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Galaga WarsAds drive me insane. Every life pauses game for 30sec to watch add. No instructions on how to stop..Version: 3.3
✓ ShipsGreat game just... maybe give us some free ships and I’ll rate it 5 stars 👌🏼.Version: 3.3
✓ Ads ads ads and no cheatWhat a waste of time, I wanted to relive the 80s classic, yet this is a dud. Far too many ads, and no cheat on first level to halt the firing-2 blue bugs on bottom 2 rows left hand side. App deleted!!!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Decent enoughEntertaining to a point. Too many ads and the ads themselves don't let you opt out of buying them. You have to reset the game..Version: 2.1.6
✓ HavocStarting from sector 6 the game become unplayable, when without upgrades it’s not possible to make progress then equally when you get all the upgrades the whole game becomes just one big mess like fireworks show, the whole screen turns in to one big explosion..Version: 3.4.1
✓ LimitedI would keep playing and put up with the long continuous ads if only I didn't have to pay real money for a new ship. Good game but I nothing more to gain now. Didn't last long..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Overheats my iPhoneI love playing this game but every time I do my iPhone overheats to a ridiculous degree. To the point where I have to turn it off and let it cool. I keep hoping the latest update will address this but it never does.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Galaga WarsGood wee shooter not as cool as the original version...!!!👾👽🤖👾🚀.Version: 3.3
✓ In app purchases not restored???Love the game. Same as original with way more accurate ship control. 🤗 😫I paid for in app purchases a while ago,there’s a record of it. I haven’t used this app in a while . I was signed in threw Facebook as well as Game Center. I actually spent a lot of money, I had all the ships. Also, I bought the 2x coin multiplier. I tried to restore purchases several times over the past couple weeks. Every time, I get a message that says, “in app purchases cannot be restored at this time, try again later”. Reluctantly, and with the hope that Namco will continue to do right by their customers . I just purchased it again!! I would appreciate my money back for that purchase since I already bought it once. I would also be very pleased if I could get my previous in app purchases restored thank you. 😫.Version: 3.3
✓ PlayabilityIf you like watching endless adverts then this is the game for you..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great Game, HorrIble Ad PlacementPros: This game is engaging, great graphics, and a lot of fun! The concept was one of my favorites from the old arcade games so I’m glad I have it on my tablet now. Cons: This could be an addicting fast-paced game, but unfortunately ads are placed in between each life, so users have to watch an ad or pay coins in order to move ahead in the same level. This can be annoying, but it is downright aggravating when the ad doesn’t load and you aren’t able to progress in the level without restarting the app. This same thing happens with bonus boxes as well. I downloaded the game for the game, but I spend way more time on ads than I should..Version: 3.3
✓ Clever...Very clever how we get three lives at the beginning of a run, and if you watch very closely, you’ll see that if you are killed the FIRST TIME YOU LOSE TWO LIVES INSTEAD OF ONE...fix this, because I’m sure anyone who plays is going...”Huh? How did that happen? Am I seeing things?” No, you are not seeing things, Bandai-Namco is cheating you...really, fix this, guys... Second part of the review...after reading the reviews, I saw that we only now have two lives instead of three...wow, that’s still cheating us, B-N, and not very cool...great game, but stop cheating us with every update...new and shiny doesn’t always work out for us stupid consumers....Version: 3.3
✓ PoorPoor reproduction of Galaga. Riddled with adverts. Unplayable. Deleted..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Lost everything when I upgraded phonePrior to a phone swap I’d got thousands of credits, every ship upgraded to the max and every level unlocked. Transferred all data across and ‘restored purchases’ but didn’t work. Refuse to start again after hours of work and multiple purchases.Version: 3.4.1
✓ AdsThe ads are really intrusive. I would pay to have them removed to be honest..Version: 3.4.1
✓ GeorgeI made a purchase about a week ago and am still waiting for a lot of coins to be loaded on to my account though I have paid.Version: 3.3
✓ Good if your always in cell service.Fun game... brings back memory's.. but I where I work is out of cell service so everything I earned in this game while out of service was rolled back to the point of when I was last on service. Pointless to play this game in my current situation. Don't feel like earning things two fold on a game...Version: 3.1.0
✓ Micro-Transaction HellAny joy in the game is immediately destroyed by the onslaught of micro transactions, ads, up charges, etc. Tactics like this by developers are what destroy the gaming experience. I have no problem purchasing a video game from you, but the freemium model is asinine and destroys the experience for old gamers and new gamers alike. I played for about an hour, but noticed that only twenty five minutes was actually game time. The rest was sitting through the litany of ninety second advertisements for other micro transaction crapware that is riddled on the App Store or being hit with in game ads trying to get me to purchase upgrades to your ship. If this is your style of “gaming” than you’ll love this garbage..Version: 3.3
✓ Not Like The Original.I’ll give this game credit, it’s Galaga, what’s not to love? But the way they made this game is just too much of a cash grab. Oh, now you get to move around the entire map and are always shooting the entire time and never have a fire rate increase when you kill an enemy. The game is cut up into sectors, and instead of having 3 free lives, you have 2 and have an extra one when you have to BUY ANOTHER SHIP, not to mention you have to WATCH AN AD OR PAY IN-GAME COINS just to use your other lives is dumb. If you’re gonna make a second or remaster of Galaga, do it right and actually look at the game you made before just adding new mechanics and adding micro transactions and ads because “it’s a mobile game” I would rate it 1 star but it’s Galaga and I can’t rate it that low..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great gameplay but ruin by $$$ grabbingNice grab but can the developers cut the ads to every other or 3rd stage. It’s ridiculous having to watch an ad before each new level..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Micro-transaction ad-based shovelwareGalaga deserves better than this. I like many other Galaga fans would pay to loose the adds and micro transactions for a quality update to this legendary shooter. More along the lines of Space Invaders Infinity Gene or Namco’s own Pac-Man Championship Edition please, for how a classic franchise can be re-invisioned for the 21st century..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Where did it goGreat game bought all the ships, upgraded the ships haven't played in a few weeks and now its like i am playing for the first time. Watch your money!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Ad infested gameGame itself is good, but holy moly the ads..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Game adsHow do get rid of all the game ads ….. terrible.Version: 3.4.1
✓ More Regular UpdatesEnjoying the game but would like to see more updates, different ships, etc. Gets redundant..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Way too many ads / Seems like the developers have given up on the game!The game is similar enough to the original arcade Galaga to be entertaining. I understand that ads will always be a part of free app games. But there are so many ads on this game, it actually interferes with the game play! I would happily spend money to not have to watch ads but there aren’t any buy out options. One day I decided to time it for a half an hour. I ended up playing the game for 11 minutes and watching ads for 19 minutes. Also, there’s no way to “win” because the game never ends. I have all of the available ships and they are all fully upgraded. I am accumulating coins and capsules playing the game with nothing to spend them on. The coming soon ship has been there for five years! To the developers, why would I spend money to BUY more coins? I ALREADY HAVE THOUSANDS OF ACCUMULATED COINS WITH NOTHING TO SPEND THEM ON NOW!!!!!! To me, it seems like the developers have given up on Galaga Wars; so unfortunately, I’m going to do the same thing!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ This is adware. Terrible unplayableThis game is terrible. You can’t play it, it is so saturated with ads ads ads ads DO NOT RECOMNEND. I will be deleting it..Version: 3.4.1
✓ This game could be so much betterJust ditch all the ads and fee paying upgrades and just charge a one off payment for the game and you could be onto a winner!.Version: 3.3
✓ Hate the adsGreat shooter, horrible business model. I suspect a lot of the players on this game are from a generation that remember the original and not happy to sit through a video just to be able to try again..Version: 3.3
✓ HjaniceI love this game but can’t give it 5 stars because of the adds. That being said I understand why the adds are important, but now I’m up to 1and a half minute adds. It really throws off the rythem while trying to play. You need to seriously consider an add free version because I would buy that. The other issue is that there are never 3 lives it’s always 2. Trying to temp me to by more would only work for me if there was an add free version and then I would continue to buy, that’s how much I like this game. But until then I will kill the app as soon as I get tired of the adds..Version: 3.3
✓ Galaga warsAlright game but adverts are a joke. Really like the game play it a lot but might delete coz ads are doing my head in.Version: 2.0.1
✓ What a disappointment!Haven’t downloaded a game for ages in this format and I just remembered why! Loved Galaga as a kid, but got no joy from downloading this version and being subjected to incessant advertising and ridiculous “watch ad to continue” rubbish…what a joke!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Fun, but I spend as much time watching ads as playingThe game itself is fun enough. The graphics are nicely updated, and the variety of IAP ships seem fun. Outside of playing a round, though, I spend all my time watching ads. Want to go into Settings? Press the gear and watch an ad. Want to go back to the Home screen? Press the 🏠 icon and watch an ad. Want to play a new game after visiting the home screen? Yep, we’ve got an ad for you there, too. There are many worthwhile free-to-play games out there that rely on ads while a customer decides if they like it enough to keep it. But, most allow for paying a modest one-time fee to remove ads. This game does not appear to offer that. As a result, I tend to play one round, then close the app and go do something else. Which is too bad, really, because it’s a fun bullet hell throwback game..Version: 3.4
✓ Need to update more shipsNeed to update new ships, and also get a reward for achieving life past sector 11 Steve.Version: 3.3
✓ Update ruined it :(.This used to be on my short list of ways to pass a little time while commuting. I updated earlier today and the first screen I was presented with after launching was a pop-up that forced me to accept that they will collect data about me and sell it to a long list of advertisers. Mmmmm kay.... It used to be that you could view ads as an alternative to spending in-game currency. Now there’s a mandatory ~30 second ad every time you lose a ship. Want to check the settings? That’s another ad. Just watched an ad instead of spending currency? Have a *2nd* ad for good measure. I understand developers wanting to monetize their apps... it just happens they made the game experience worse and added a creepy undertone. Thank you, no..Version: 3.4
✓ Bad gameThis game is hard and difficulty, and is the worst game ever do not download this.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Waaay too many adsCompletely kills the game when you have to constantly sit though an ad to do anything..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Unstable appKeep crashing even since last Pac-man update.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Rip offI bought credit from this game for more coins I never received my credit for the game so am greatly disappointed in this game and I sent and email to Apple nothing was done. People don’t get rip off stay away.Version: 3.3
✓ Great but lackingGreat throw back , game play is wonderful , but the fact that the powerups are timed is an epic mistake.Version: 3.4.1
✓ SadI love this game, but I’m sad because most of the time when I press continue, the screen freezes up and then there’s no way to unfreeze it or continue so you have to stop the game start all over and you lose a life and you lose your time and then you gotta watch at least 3 to 6 ads before you can even play. it’s really frustrating when you’ve made so much progress and really high score, and have to start all over again, not to mention losing a life. There should be some way to be compensated. Please fix these glitches. Thank you..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Cool game, BUT—I really enjoy playing this game, when I am able to. However, this game tries way, way, WAY too hard to direct you to commercials as well as the screen where you have to pay money to buy new ships. There is a certain point in the game where you cannot go anywhere but the screen where you have to buy new ships. You can cancel out of it by clicking home, But after all of the efforts that this game spends trying to make you watch their commercials and so on before you can continue anything, it gets a little aggravating. It really makes me determined to sidestep any effort on the games part to make me watch their commercials or by their ships. I will play this for a while and probably get annoyed with it and quit. It’s a shame, because it is a really well put together game and I enjoy the nostalgia flashback to the 80s arcade games..Version: 3.3
✓ Game play is goodThe game play is good but remove the ads make a pro version too many options takes away from the game makes me want to erase the game and not come back.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Fun but did bait and SwitchSaved up my shield points to get PAC-MAN for 75 and then I finally get enough and it jumps to 150..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Forced to watch ads.I was enjoying this game until I was forced to watch ads. No thanks. Delete!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Sadly disappointed since update...I was enjoying playing before but not the game is so laggy that I'm not dying because of monsters but the lags.....Version: 2.1.6
✓ Great gameplay but stingy free playA fantastically executed game in terms of playability and graphics but a very stingy free play allowance, too many video ads and too many and too costly essential in-app purchases make this a quick install and quick delete. A shame that Namco couldn't give a little bit more for free because I would willingly pay for such a good game if a bit more respect was shown to the cost of in-app purchases. The graphics could do with some tweaking - the purple alien missiles are confusing to pick out amongst the action. Please Namco, give a bit more for free - you'll also encourage users to spend more..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Not as good as the originalThis was a good game back in the 80’s, im not happy with this new version, I have bought several spaceships but they are always slow and the fire rates are a joke, you always need to be upgrade the spaceships no matter what, way too many micro transactions to actually enjoy the game, otherwise is frustrating and irritating...especially those 30 secs videos to promote other games that I really hate..Version: 3.3
✓ Too much on screenYou’re in space with a flashy background, with rain over the screen for some reason, and the graphics of ships you’re meant to shoot blend into the back ground… Overall just unpleasant to play 😭 used to love galaga.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Minor AnnoyancesI’m glad there’s a good game of Galaga for iOS. Some things I wish the developers will take in to consideration on future versions: 1. I don’t mind watching a video... but can you make them shorter? Waiting that long even though I’m buying all your ships and coins is ridiculous. 2. Can we please select the next ship we want? Or if you’re going to do the randomized thing, that’s fine- just make it super quick. I know it’s all for show, but it gets me back to the game faster, and I don’t think many people are interested in watching a faux shuffle to determine what ship you’re going to get next- just get me BACK TO THE GAME. 3. #2 also goes for the score tally at the end. LET ME HIT “END GAME” NOW (Or select a new ship), not wait for all the fancy graphics unless I want to see them. 4. The PacMan ship is VERY disappointing, considering I paid four bucks for it. I kinda want my money back. The gameplay, FWIW, is GREAT. I just wish getting back to it was faster.Version: 3.3
✓ Spoiled by adsI can't stand ads. Game spoilt.Version: 3.3
✓ Pay for play model breaks the gameI understand the desire to have a mobile game with ad-based or micro transaction revenue but the implementation is very poor. After every life you need to either pay to continue or watch a 30 second ad. It destroys the flow of the game or will require you buy in with a lot of coins. Maybe if it was more like the arcade game where you run through 3 or more lives before being hit over the head to pay up in some way, it would be more bearable. Also, to continue from unlocked levels, you need to pay or watch ads. The gameplay is fine and brings back memories but the constant pay or watch ads approach is not worth it..Version: 3.3
✓ Ignore this game.Buy a full game, not a purchase-in-app game. The promotion videos are endless, the game is not balanced…I don’t think they will update anything in the future…..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Gameplay broken up with video adsSuper greedy. There's nothing wrong with the gameplay... when you are lucky enough to have any. Lose a life, the game feel is ruined as you watch yet another 30 second ad for golf or an earwax remover before continuing. So slow! I would have happily paid for an ad free version but this is a waste of time, I’m finished..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Love it but hurts to upgradeI like this game. I even bought 3 or 4 of the extra ships because I want to support the developers. The problem I have is that the game screwed me after I upgraded one of the power ups to max. As soon as I did, I stopped getting power ups. I literally went from first wave to 6th wave without a single power up as soon as the upgrade was done. I used to get one or more every wave but not a single one now. What is the point then? Please, fix this or tell me how to fix my copy of the game. Very irritating to spend time and actual money upgrading to have it lower the drop rate once I have it powered up. In this case, to none!!! 0! Otherwise I like the game. The difficulty of the stages increases a ton. That also makes it a bit hard to progress..Version: 3.3
✓ All my progress deletedAfter months of building up my ships upgrading weapons and collecting ships... all deleted because of upgrade ! Very unhappy spending so much time and coins for all my progress to be disregarded and gone.... shame on you Bandai. Won’t give you any more of my time watching adverts so you get paid..Version: 3.3
✓ 1 life??This would be an amazing game if you got more than one life. Obviously to scam you out of money. Deleted..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Had to offload itI grew up a Galaga junkie so was excited to download this app. While the graphics are gorgeous that’s about it for this game. It’s not easy to keep the momentum going. If you dare take your finger off the screen, the “mission accomplished” screen pops up in the middle of play. It won’t let me move my ship with my finger slightly under it so I can see it so I get blown up in seconds. Like others have said, the ads are ridiculous and it takes a long time between lives. If you have a child trying to play this, their patience (and mine) will give out REAL fast. Plus, the ads are 30 seconds long between each death so really, unless you never die, you are just downloading an app for the ads. I get you need ads for the revenue and to keep this free but if we can’t enjoy or even play the game, then why bother with any of this? Sorry but I’m offloading it for now. If the reviews seem to change for the better, maybe I’ll try again. In the meantime, more phone space for me!.Version: 3.3
✓ Innapropropriate ContentMy kids play this game and I just saw an ad for an adult game, seriously?!?.Version: 3.3
✓ It’s okayI love Galaga. But I SERIOUSLY hope you look at these reviews and consider updates Few things: I’m not impressed that I have to drive my ship out in the open to collect coins. I personally think the coin bank should only be filled just by shooting these bugs alone. No need to scavenge and risk getting shot. Coin magnet also throws me off and the swarm of coins is distracting while avoiding lasers from the enemy. Also when it comes to the bug boss, that abducting beam is very unfair, compared to avoiding lasers and shooting the missile at the same time. This needs to be fixed and addressed.Version: 3.3
✓ I miss the original Galaga CollectionThis game only has 11 levels and then hits a loop. I was disappointed to lose the original collection when ios went 64 bit. The graphics are nice, but the gameplay gets repetitive once you reach sector 11 which is too easy. Pointless, deleting. Bring back the og collection.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Bought santa sleigh and no shipI thought the game was great until I bought a santa sleigh ship. You took my money but no ship. Would have given it 5stars but since I lost $3.99 I will give it 1 star. I want my money back..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Update needs fixing.Your update has problems please fix them asap your links to the terms of use and privacy statement when you load the game after the recent update redirects corrupted website. I was forced to delete your app. Super happy about that. NOT..Version: 3.4
✓ Nice game but....As soon as you get other ship you lose control of which one is deployed. Sucks..Version: 3.3
✓ Gimme an ”I”, gimme an “A”…Quit telling me to go spend on upgrades when I’m already upgraded to the t1ts!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Fun GameFun addictive game but drives me crazy with all the ads..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Sound only works sometimes.Sound only works sometimes.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Too many adsIt's one thing to choose to watch an ad to get something in return, like extra lives, but the number of ads I'm now forced to watch has definitely increased lately. Seems like I have to waste 10-30 seconds in between doing anything now. I understand that ads pay for the generally free game, but maybe provide an option to purchase an ad-free experience? Just saying; it's way too many. Example- my ship got hit almost immediately because I wasn't paying proper attention, so instead of watching an ad to continue from there I just hit end to start over. And I was forced to watch not 1 but 2 ads before it took me back to home. Seriously?! It took more ads to NOT continue? Some BS. And I can't even progress in the game much because you don't get many lives, so death is frequent..Version: 3.4
✓ Not for kids. Can't remove ads.All parents of young kids share the same frustrations for in app ads. If I find a free game for my kid it will be deleted soon after if there are ad pop-ups. He can't read. He just clicks something new and shiny. Now mom or dad has to come to the rescue to get him back into the game. Generally, if he likes it, I buy the game to remove the ads. I had to tell him SORRY and NO for this game. I went to buy a "remove ads" package... but there is none it seems. There is no way to get rid of the ads. So there is no way my kid can play this game. What's worse now is that if they ever decide to add that feature later, I'll have no idea. This game is already dead to us. Too bad. I'm sure I can find a similar clone, as my son seemed to enjoy the simple controls. Fingers crossed..Version: 3.3
✓ In-app madnessVirtually unplayable due to aggressive in-app purchase up-sell madness. Gave up. Pity, the game looks like it could have been fun..Version: 3.3
