If you want a comparison, we would cite Bubble Bobble, but if you want a single word, then we would say superbly.

Lots of control settings on the ipad, so that is way cool. Highly recommended! Gotta check if one can play this single player with the joypad app, so then I can play easily on hdmi tv with my iphone. Snooptalian Well-Known Member Sep 12, 2009 1,938 8 38 #4 Snooptalian, May 7, 2013 Looks cool. Wish it was optimized for the iPhone 5 though. Platformers are a bit of a pain with the dead space black bars on each side of the screen. May get it anyway. Are there any achievements via GC? Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #5 Royce, May 7, 2013 This is the iPad version. The iPhone version is also $0.99 though (regular price). It does have achievements I believe. AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #6 AnarKitty, May 7, 2013 Finally picked this one up after having enjoyed the iPhone version for a long time. squabs Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2012 317 1 18 #7 squabs, May 7, 2013 Yep you can single player joypad with this Breinstein Well-Known Member Sep 27, 2012 527 5 18 The Netherlands #8 Breinstein, May 7, 2013 Hmm although quite different games the monsters and the umbrellas remind me of bubble bobble and rainbow island. For 99 cents worth a try I think.

And lo and behold it works! The only problem is the developer must have had an icade 8 bitty joypad, cause the button mapping is a little messed up. It uses the white start and select buttons, which are not really optimal for the core or original icades. But not too bad. Too bad the developer didn't map more buttons to do the same functions, can't understand why developers just don't use all the buttons so players can choose which butttons to use. Works well with icade and hdmi. As pictured. Joypad works, but not so well. It does not load a custom template, so it uses a default template, which isn't that great. The buttons and pad are spaced at odd intervals making it hard to play for me. Prefer the regular touch controls over the joypad controls. Icade though is probably the best. Joypad app works great in games like Infinity Field hd where it loads up a template, and dual stick works great on the joypad app, too bad more dual stick games don't use it. Cool game, highly recommended! MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #10 MidianGTX, May 8, 2013 I love this game. Great retro platforming but with a pretty retina skin. I found it can be a little difficult though, or maybe I've just gotten lazy. squabs Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2012 317 1 18 #11 squabs, May 8, 2013 Or blutrol from cydia and a wiimote works as well I've found masvil Well-Known Member Apr 24, 2011 420 0 0 #12 masvil, May 18, 2013 I PMed laxking97 for Quak addition to iCade list.
