PLAYER CONTROL TIPS
Tip 1: Learn to quickly lift your left thumb & then touch again to “reset” the distance between your thumb & ship. E.g. push your ship forward then lift + retouch behind & above to fly near the ground, etc.
Tip 2: You can very quickly fire both your Lasers + Bombs by sliding your right thumb up & down over the buttons. You don’t need to lift your thumb (& both buttons are auto-fire).

I love how it feels like a real arcade with credits as coins It's very hard like the original but I dont remember a color palette like this one but that's not a problem when you just want to see something retro
I was born in January of '69 so I grew up playing games from day 1. When Scrambler came out in the arcade, I remember thinking it was the greatest thing I'd seen! These guys have done a great job of re-creating this game down to the pixel. I gave it 4⭐'s ONLY cuz the controls suck! However, it's not their fault. Touchscreen controls just dont do well in this type of game. I bought a Nintendo Switch B.T. controller and it paired easily with my Galaxy 8+ & my notepad. HUGE difference! Love it!👍🤙
I hate adverts, no option i can see to buy the game to get rid of adverts , so rarely play this game for that reason. Quite a good emulation of the original game , but I prefer play games not dictated by advertising.
Virtual controller need a lot improvement too sensitive and inaccurate, rating is still 2 stars sorry, I have played this game in my childhood so trust me I know what I am talking about, it is impossible finish maze level coz this inaccurate controls
Relative controls on level 5 just fail.
