This game is awesome, more so if you're old enough to have played the original on genesis or another console. The problem with the mobile version of this game is there are no controllers, you must use your thumb. Problem is, a game like this can only be played with full view of the screen, and your thumb blocks your view of the screen. Impossible to play at a certain point once things get going. Great soundtrack and visuals. Very nostalgic.

Seems mostly faithful to the arcade original, but there are some issues. The aspect ratio has been changed to 9:16 from the original's 3:4, making everything appear stretched, with no display options to work with. Minus one star for that. Another for having in-game ads but no purchase option to get rid of them. The menu music is far louder than the music and sfx during normal play. Not sure how useful speedups are due to touch controls. As with many mobile shmups, bomb use is difficult.

Classic late eighties shoot em up, incredible game and not a to shabby port on Android, Truxton rocks, hard, if you like classic verticle view shoot em ups with crazy power ups and all, then this is the one, excellent port also, just install!
