I love this game but there is 1 thing thats not good for you the developer. The title needs to have one good title for both the appstore and playstore and especially the actual game. In the playstore its called Pixel Craft: Retro Shooter and when you actually open the game the title screen says space war retro shooter. On the appstore its called Pixel Craft: Space Shooter and when you open the game on an iphone it says the same thing. But the title should only have 1 name for all and thats bad

Still one of my all time favorite mobile games. One of the big things that made this game so great and different than others is that the bosses have personality. That's rare it seems like now especially in mobile games. They behave differently and look different and attack different. This is such a great game.

Great, fun little phone shmup. However the Tetris boss is a fun idea that is badly implemented and poorly balanced. Look at the leaderboards, less than 10 people have managed to beat it in under 80 seconds to unlock the gameboy ship.

A very fun and addictive game. The progression in this game is quite fast; it only took me 2 days to max level all upgrades. The difficulty of this game is not thoroughly spread out, but that's fine. The regular stages don't have that much bulletstorming, then the bosses are where they put most of the difficulty the game offers. I have played Sky Wings and Burning Sky from this app developer and they both seemed like pay2win or moneygrabbing games but this one satisfyingly is not. Very good job!

I wish people would stop reviewing games after playing for 5 seconds. Yes you only start out with one life but once you upgrade (with in game coins) the max you get is 6. There are no P2W mechanics here, game is a tad grindy but isn't that the point of games like this? In app purchases are completely optional and only there to support the devs, which you totally should do because this game is clearly a labor of love. Pro tip: upgrade your super Weapon first to level 5, then upgrade your coins.

Tried it again. I think it's gotten worse over time. The controls are horrible and will drift away from your craft like stupid amount. Still needs to be in alpha or beta, and the lack of anything constructive being done lost it another star.

Cool game There is a small bug. After successfully killing first boss, I had machine gun upgraded to the point, where 1st level starts already with 3 lines of bullets. And so, when continue to play, 2nd level starts for some reason, with only 2 lines of bullets. Why such downgrade? Other wise it's fun game

The game lives up to the feel of old school to down bullet hell shooters. It feels rewarding when you clear a tough fight by learning the pattern of attack, as well as how it can vary slightly. Down side, get used to repeating the same stage endlessly to grind for coins.

This game is mad underatted, because of this there are a few noticeable bugs, one being that I cant beat tetris boss cus the shapes pass through the floor, also some boss titles have no, boss alert text and alarm effect too. I hope the game gets more content update cus of how fun it is!!! I just wished this game got more attention 😭

adds have made this unplayable. I don't mind an ad every now and then, but it's every 2 games, and after the ad, the game gets stuck on "connecting to server," which means I have to restart the whole app to play. please fix

Quite challenging, took 8 tries to clear first stage. You only get one life to start, and it takes an hour of grinding just to unlock level 1 skip or 2 lives. To get a less tedious experience, you need to spend real money on upgrades. That said, response and movement on my Samsung A20 is extremely smooth and it rewards real skill. The total lack of ads pushes this game closer to 5 star the more i play it.

Given the game's petite size; it's surprisingly robust in terms of its visuals and audio. There's a wide variety of spaceships to unlock as well as weapons and skills to upgrade. Daily rewards net resources. Adverts optional. No internet required.

One of the best space shooters out there. Smooth controls, really good retro game music, cool unlockable ships, and surprisingly pretty light effects for an 8 bit game (flying over a sun and blinding laser blasts are beautiful in my opinion). However it's really hard (or I'm just bad at challenging games), but that doesn't bother me! I can unlock levels with in-game coins! So I can't ever be stuck.

While not as polished as Shmup Holic's other game, "Retro Shooting," "Space War - Pixel Craft" is a nice piece of programming in its own right. The action is furious, akin to Japanese "Bullet Hell" shooters, the power up system is just satisfying enough to keep you coming back for more, and the 8-bit graphics have style to spare. Give it a try before "Retro Shooting," and you won't be disappointed. Both games occupy a coveted spot on my home screen, along with "Bullet Hell Monday," a favorite.

Excellent game. Looks great, controls well, and it's HARD (that's a compliment). Plenty of variety in the ships and special weapons too. An endless mode would be nice, but the random enemy patterns add some replay value. Kudos to the developer for doing it without ads. I'm happy to spend a few dollars to show my support.

Amazing game with solid controls. It also has one of the best f2p models I've ever played. I did two playthroughs, the first I didn't spend a dime, the latter I bought double coins. They were both a blast. No secondary currency, and coins are given out like candy. My only real problem is that, as someone with a seizure disorder, this game is terrifying sometimes. Bosses cause the entire screen to flash red when they spawn, and racking up a combo causes the border to rapidly flash.

Game is nice, beautiful graphics, controls work nicely, variaton of ships and enemies/bosses. Appreciate the hourly rewards which will boost your power for 5/15 minutes. However, the Tetris boss is bugged, making it a 5-10 minute task to kill. Sucks the fun out of it. Hopefully this will get fixed at some point, but since the last update is almost a year ago...
