Comments on Scrambler: Retro Arcade Game for Android

★★★★★ Gary Mikami · Jul 24, 2023
I played this game weekly for hours growing up... This is a very excellent emulation and plays just like it, I almost made it to the end on my first session. Very Good 👍
★★★★★ Doyle Dill · May 20, 2022
This was my favorite game when I was a kid in the 80s. Put a lot of quarters in the machine. Update I hooked my Xbox controller to my phone then cast my phone to my 65-inch TV and played. It was awesome!!!
★★★★★ Anthony Ashwood · Oct 2, 2020
Best retro arcade game on the Play Store hands down. Extremely true to the original classic. Well done to the developers.
★★☆☆☆ Nuno Mateus · Jul 22, 2022
Terrible controls. The game is great. Nice retro, but the responsive of the controls throught touch is not very accurate.
★★☆☆☆ Adnan Piric · May 27, 2020
Virtual controller need a lot of improvement too sensitive and inaccurate, rating is still 2 stars sorry, I have played this game in my childhood so trust me I know what I am talking about, it is impossible finish maze level coz this inaccurate controls
★★☆☆☆ Raymond Deleon · Feb 2, 2021
In a Southern California galaxy far, far away Star Date 1983 I used to "turn over" these games and mark my initials above the highest possible score, some great times. But now we're being bombarded with $#@^&* ads and commercials everywhere and every damn earth day. What happened to endless and uninterrupted gameplay with a handful of quarters, with Huey Lewis and the News playing in the background. You can't even purchase apps nowadays, it's just more money bling for app makers to smother you with ads. Still a game with the likes of Defender, Malaga, Missile Command etc. that I have cherished. OK Sulu, take us out of here.

KEY FEATURES
- Classic arcade coin-op experience; graphics, sounds, gameplay – everything is there!

- Google Play Games: Global Leaderboards & 24 Achievements
- 100% playable without in-app purchases!
- Play offline: no WiFi / no internet required

GAME INFO
Pause/Quit:
Use your device’s Back Button
Hi-Scores/Leaderboards: Two types:
1: Local to your device: Seen in attract/demo mode
2: Global: Google Play Games: Sign-in/view from pre-game options
Novice Mode (Easier):
Auto set ON at install, & auto turns OFF forever when you’re familiar with the controls
Difficulty “Normal: Android Mode”:
Terrain Avoidance System helps to stop you crashing into the ground
Easier Stage 5 (Maze) map
No losing lives on the final End Base stage
Difficulty “Brutal: GamePad a must!”:
None of the above!
Tip: Use a Bluetooth Controller GamePad!

PLAYER CONTROL TIPS
Tip 1: Learn to quickly lift your left thumb & then touch again to “reset” the distance between your thumb & ship. E.g. push your ship forward then lift + retouch behind & above to fly near the ground, etc.
Tip 2: You can very quickly fire both your Lasers + Bombs by sliding your right thumb up & down over the buttons. You don’t need to lift your thumb (& both buttons are auto-fire).
