One of my favorite shmups!. Thanks for updating this masterpiece, SNK. It plays great with a Razer Kishi controller. Recommended.
★★★★★
This port of the famous shooter from the SNK AES console, blazing star, is one of my favorite all-time shooters. This brings back memories when I was younger, and I used to have a neo Geo aes, and it's been years, so I am so happy to find this port. It plays flawlessly, especially on my Samsung Galaxy fold 2, when folded open it uses the full screen and it's fantastic!
★★★★★
I highly recommend this!! This is my favorite side scrolling shmup, but I was worried about how the controls would be on a cellphone, but it works great!! Just needed to change the placement of the buttons in the options' menu. Great Game!! And only $1? 🙄
