User Reviews

Space Invaders on iOS is a strong, nostalgic port praised for faithful arcade replication, a clean ad-free purchase, and flexible, customizable controls. It’s also regarded as visually polished and worth the price. However, multiple reviews cite recurring drawbacks: unresponsive controls, incomplete controller support, update/port quality issues that alter screen real estate or UI, and occasional lag. Overall, it’s a solid emulation with room to improve input responsiveness and hardware compatibility.

Pros

Faithful arcade emulation with authentic visuals and sound, delivering a nostalgic Space Invaders experience.
Ad-free, pure paid app with no ads or ongoing in-app purchases, offering a clean gameplay experience.
Flexible control options (joystick, buttons, tilt) and customizable layouts to suit different play styles.
High-quality port that many users describe as polished, well-designed, and worth the price.
Options to recreate the arcade feel through visuals (monotone/color modes, overlays, backdrops) and achievements.

Cons

Controls are frequently reported as unresponsive, slow, or finicky, making gameplay frustrating.
Incomplete or problematic controller support (requests for joystick, ICade, Backbone compatibility) and mixed hardware support across devices.
Update/port quality concerns: reports of mis-sized screens after updates, UI/layout changes, and perceived neglect or poor implementation of newer devices.
Occasional lag or performance hiccups (and occasional minor visual quirks) affecting smooth play.

I just went to the arcade today and I saw space invaders there and it was my favorite game there so when I got home today I tried to to find this game and I say this game is worth the cash

I have control set to sensitive and it still moves on its own. No way to win with poor control! Shots are delayed somewhat. If there’s a fix, let me know.
