Great Game. Poor Controls!
     
by MoosenShepherd · February 14, 2025

Joystick toggles on/off, Gets stuck, and is unresponsive at times. Not worth the money. Wouldn’t even be worth playing if it was free.

Literally one of the best games ever!!!🫡👏🙂‍↕️🤩(works great on the iPod touch 7th gen)

Bought metal slug one and love it !This is the best game that I’ve paid for the game doesn’t lag on the iPod touch 7th and the iPad ! Love it and can’t wait to purchase the rest! I will say that the game play is the same as I remembered playing it at the laundromat in Pomona when I was 6 ! This game is really great I highly recommend it but there are a few things I would like to suggest which are that the controls could be improved by allowing the player to change the size of each control individually because for some people like me I like to have a big joystick and small buttons but unfortunately not able to do that. The joystick should also be bigger (and would like it to also look like a classic joystick 🕹️ 🙏)because if you play this game for a couple of hours your fingers will get sweaty and can interfere with the gameplay. Other than that this game is really good hope you enjoy the game!😁👍<br/><br/>Also to the creator:<br/>I’m waiting for metal slug 6 and metal slug 7 please make these games available for our mobile devices and for the iPod touch 7 gen

This game needs to be fixed immediately

I’ve been running into a problem when I reset the virtual joysticks. I clicked reset and now the joysticks are way smaller than before and they’re stuck like that. This is the worsts glitch ever, click reset and now you can’t play because the size of the joystick won’t go back to normal.

Scam

Wth is the issue?! 4 years ago game was ok but one day whoever is in charge of the iOS port decides to mess up controls change the audio and give all of a couple hundred thousand folks who spent a whole $6+ on this steaming pile of nonsense, a big f to us. Before running off a quick buck. I hate iOS with a passion for charging for most apps, requiring a password for every little thing, and overall being a buggy mess but f this is unacceptable.

Great game, loved it a year ago when the controls weren’t destroyed by the new software update. Perhaps it could use a resize?
