(updated after the October 23, 2019 update) ::: STILL... For some reason, with the Lucky Charm equipped, I am only getting gold treasure items. Not one equip item after playing through a whole game. I have no idea why the developers have changed this in the update. I just checked my old version that's on my iPhone 5, iOS 7, and I got 10 equip items in 1 novice game. This new version? ZERO! Zero in an ENTIRE GAME! I had to play 3, 3 entire playthroughs to get ONE equip item. WITH THE LUCKY CHARM EQUIPPED!!! Why?!?! Why in the world would you change this?! Building up 9 of one item in order to get the bonus will now take upwards of who knows how many playthroughs (I'm going to go ahead and give a rough estimate of AT LEAST 30) instead of 9-15. I will say thank you for fixing the unresponsivness when touching the borders and re-enabling screen rotation, but really, these should not have been issues/removed from the game in the first place. It's so disappointing. Whoever is going in and literally changing code to make the game worse in these ridiculous ways is REALLY dropping the ball.

Needs an update

Cave has the best game on the App Store, they just need to be updated to 64 bit.

Welcome back CAVE

So glad you’ve updated your classic games! Can’t wait for the rest to be updated as well, and perhaps more releases! 👏🏼

find ports… but the lack of controller/arcade stick support is no good

I enjoy playing games with a controller on iPad. Being able to play these games with the controller would be amazing but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any functionality for it.

amazing

i totally recommend this for people who like shmups. the controls are easy to learn, and all characters are fun to use. totally worth the money!
