If this controls as well as Caves games on iOS that will be a must buy.

Has anybody tried the update where they "fixed" the controls? I never bothered. Was so disappointed by the port

I play RFA on a 52" set (which gives me approx a 29" vertical play area) and it still hard at times to see and dodge the bullets

How the ***k could you possibly play this on a 5-10" screen?

[Psyduck]

by holding it closer to your face than your 52" screen.

Yeah looks great on my iPad and definitely a great purchase and worth the pennies

How are the virtual controls? I'm hoping for something like the Cave iOS games. The Dot Emu version of R-Type had accurate touch controls but allowed the R-9 to move too quickly upsetting the game balance somewhat.

Yeah it's alright and the ship pretty much moves where you want it to go, but the Raiden games aren't like cave games but there are to different options, fast touch and arcade touch unsure what the difference is and you can move the shoot and bomb icon anywhere you want on the screen which is good

I've found the bullets move pretty fast so avoiding them is difficult so it can't be played like a cave shooter where patterns are always present

I like even though its customised for all devices that it opens in full screen with no small screen option which has always annoyed me with stuff I had on iPhone and move into my iPad, ended up having to buy the iPad version

[buster_broon]

Looks like fast touch moves the ship around the screen fairly quickly

And with arcade touch its much slower I guess maybe how it was back in the day

Never really played any of the Raiden games before and Raiden plays like twin cobra which I loved
