## The Space Vortex Rider LT Reviews in United States

### *---- "Too fast & poor controls, needs update"
A promising game, but there are no difficulty settings and the attackers come far too fast. This is especially true because there’s only a single control option. Tap on 2 lower left buttons to move clockwise or counterclockwise. Awkward for the speed of the game. Add an option for sliding your finger anywhere on the full screen to move yourself. That might be fast and more natural and fluid. You finger could block some screen view though. 

Overall = very disappointing even with the last update 2 years ago. 

Using iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17

### ***-- "Looks great, but…"
*Added an extra star for developer responsiveness!  Thanks, Richard!  It’s great to know someone out there is listening. *
 The graphics are super retro and satisfying, which is awesome! But the gameplay is clunky at best. To move around the board, you must tap arrows, which are located at the bottom left of the screen. It’s awkward. Far more elegant and intuitive would be the ability to slide your finger in the direction you wish to move and shoot. I love where this game is headed, and I know it can and will be improved over time. But right now, it’s nearly impossible to play. Sorry. I really want to love it, but it’s mostly potential at this point and not a super substantive rendition of the game.

### **--- "Works on 12 pro max"
This game is what you would get if you showed someone a photo of T2k and said “these things are flying out from the center and you have to shoot them.” Don’t expect the classic game.
-- BigBratwurst, 2021-07-09

### *---- "The controls are terrible"
Making this tempest knock off ridiculously hard and pathetic.  Everyone has a touch screen, utilize that rather than left/right rotation arrows.
-- Heavy reader d, 2021-04-09

### *---- "Favorite Retro Game Disappoints"
The game will load and play but then there is no way to reset and reload to play again. Can't believe this game and a 99 cent version are still listed. There used to be a playable version of this classic space game but an lOS update broke it.
-- Rajramos, 2020-11-29

### *---- "C’mon man, fix it!"
I don’t think game makers understand something. I have money. I want what I want though. Not what you made. I want the real Tempest. People my age who played it in the arcade have no problem giving you 5 bucks if it worked great. We spent that back in the day! This one jams up ,freezes , won’t reset, control is NO WHERE near what it should be. Make it so your finger controls the player around the circle. Do something better and you will get paid. Make a decent Scramble from Konami or Defender too.
-- Laughs in Real Book, 2020-09-11

### *---- "Garbage"
Gameplay is terrible, none of it makes sense, and the app only superficially resembles the 80s classic game it is supposed to emulate.
-- Owl Thomas, 2020-09-01

### *---- "Are you kidding me ?"
So bad it’s laughable !!
-- 9mileskid, 2020-08-11

### *---- "Not recommended"
Played once couldn’t clear to play again! Dud!!
-- Partycaptain, 2020-03-07

### *---- "TRASH, NEVER LOADED."
I wish there’s a zero star option for this trash.
