I beat this game on my iPad and then beat it again directly after finishing. It’s very fun, about to start again. Like snes Zelda’s. Only issue devs, is that the mini map doesn’t work correctly, the ship location isn’t accurate. It’s somewhat close, but is shifted to the left of where it actually is.

Second Update: Full controller support! Upping my review to 5 stars. It’s so great! I’m about to 100% it. Get an Mcon or another controller and play this immediately! Update: getting towards the end of the game and the buttons are getting really hard to see beyond. When the screen is full of enemies, it’s really hard to see beyond all the buttons for the various powers. Original: This game is great, but when I have a Bluetooth controller connected, menus still often require touch controls and the touch controls remain on screen even while I’m using my controller which is more than a little annoying. In all honesty, this game is as close to five stars as you can get but if you’re playing with a controller, it really puts a damper on the experience.

I’ve been playing mobile games for years now and this game is one of the best games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing.

Update:: Thank you so much for the super quick fix!! You guys rock!!! OG review:: After the latest update I can no longer move after entering an area. Doesn’t matter what area. If the screen goes white and focuses back on the ship, I’m stuck there. iOS 26.5/iPhone 17 Pro
- syntheticvoid · v1.13
i like it, but there is a bug where when i enter a differnt area i cant move at all
- pizza is healthy · v1.11
Great game and was very much enjoying it until a required key suddenly vanished from one game to the next. Zero opportunity to go back or reset without starting from scratch
- SmithHill_RI · v1.9
Good game with plenty to offer from upgrading your ship, dungeons, bosses, and exploration. I would say the game is around 10 hours to beat. No ads and it feels great to play with a controller. I do wish if you were playing with a controller the joy sticks wouldn’t no be visible on still but at least they are transparent
- BigDame14 · v1.9
I am holding my 5th star until the devs fix controller support and remove the joysticks from the screen as well as add controller specific buttons to the items on screen it’s infuriating having to guess and always being wrong unfortunate bc the game is an absolute masterpiece!!!!!
- Byrd2584 · v1.9
I have been wishing for this exact game for 30+years. (Max Adventure came close, but died in the Appocalyse.) Love TSS, but get bored with arenas and hordes. This game does NOT disappoint! There’s dungeons and puzzles and bullet-hell bosses! Adorable graphics and beautiful music. New favorite game!
- davidmdowning42 · v1.9
Lots of good stuff here. Interesting premise and some fun story. However, you should know how much this game relies on races and time trials to advance the story. In my opinion, it’s excessive. Lots of repetitive time trials and speed courses that are frustrating and not fun. Had I known this feature was so much a part of the game, I would have passed.
- MacRowdy · v1.9
Game takes a long time to load. After a minute of play, game crashes and I must reload the game. UPDATE: game loads faster and I played 10 times with no crashing. It’s pretty fun. Easy to control. Lots to explore and figure out.
- BrentJensen · v1.9
I love this game! Is there a way you guys could add an option to turn off the on screen controller button? When I play this game I use a controller so I don’t need on screen buttons. Thanks
- TriggerHapppy84 · v1.9
This game is amazing. I have been playing it on steam (Mac) and when I found out that it came for iOS, I immediately bought it again. I use a telescopic controller to play it on iPhone. However, the experience could be much better if the on-screen buttons disappear as they're not needed when using a controller. They obstruct the view and take away from the immersion. I wish this awesome developer updates the game to tackle that issue.
- SALAH.7 · v1.9
The touch controls are very clumsy, and this game is all about being able to finely control your ship. If you don’t have a controller, don’t try this game. Also, on iPad Pro, the sides of the screen are cropped off, meaning your ship is offscreen much of the time, and doors/enemies at the edge of the screen can’t be seen. I regret paying for this game and would very much like a refund.
- Master P C · v1.9
The genre crossover really works. Do yourself a favor and play it on the hardest difficulty. It’s a much more rewarding experience.
- Bymbeaux · v1.9
I played this game a while back on Steam and always thought it would be a good fit for iPad / iOS. So glad to see it here. I definitely recommend! It’s challenging but not frustrating. Definitely a butt pucker with certain boss fights lol but it’s really not a punishing game. The pacing between finding power ups and getting upgrades is perfect for keeping the dopamine going. It’s hard to put this game down. Bravo to the devs. 👏
- Aldridge.Chase · v1.9
Very cool game, thanks for
- m0kay25 · v1.9
I dont always play games, but when i do i prefer minishoot
- *godsdata* · v1.9
Cool game! Glad that the developers are continuing to fix bugs with this game. A bug I found recently was that once I reached half HP, I stopped taking damage at all. I didn’t have ‘invincibility’ selected in the options. This takes away all tension during boss fights, so I’m just kinda exiting the game to simulate dying.
- abd ae · v1.7
I am enjoying this game a lot…on my XBox. But too many times my movement swipes aren’t registered and I lose. It’s a fun game but just not reliable on ios. Idk if something can be done about that but I’d love to play on my phone.
- Vivimatt09 · v1.7
The damn right analog control won’t work at times!
- Kopesthetik · v1.7
I paid 6 bucks and haven’t been able to enjoy what others are clearly enjoying. I get to watch the opening cut scene then it kicks me out before gameplay starts!
- Quantumpsych · v1.7
At it’s best moments, this game was fine. But, there were lots of little things that killed my experience as a death by a thousand cuts. A few examples: - Some secrets are mandatory; I spent a couple hours trying to advance only to find out that a button I needed for progression was hidden under a rock - No healing. If you die, there’s no penalty, you just return to base. But returning to base doesn’t heal you, to get back to full health you usually just have to suicide - Bosses have about 7 stages. Each stage is pretty short, but it can get tedious to learn
- Mistik archer · v1.5
This is a fantastic Zelda/bullet hell/twin stick shooter. I 100% the map, beat main boss, then the secret boss, I got the cutscene talking about the ultimate final trial, however the game never triggers opening the temple. So I am unable to access the arena. Really disappointed as the game was fantastic. All locations are check marked with 100% showing on my map.
- LawDog5003 · v1.5
I can’t even exit the tutorial without the game crashing repeatedly. I’m going to try and get my money back. Unplayable.
- Jgdtjfduj · v1.5
Super unique mash-up of old-school Zelda metroidvania and arcade-style bullet hell! It sounds odd at first but trust me, it really works! They created a really dense and interesting world, with loads of unique dungeons, secrets, interesting enemies, and surprising upgrades that allow the gameplay to meaningfully evolve. The touch controls are serviceable, but thankfully there is well-implemented controller support that makes the experience WAY better, especially on the harder difficulty. My one tiny little gripe is that that on-screen controls don’t disappear when you connect a controller, and there aren’t any opacity settings for the icons. Not a big enough issue to affect the review, but if you guys read this that would be a great QoL detail to add!
- CPetro16 · v1.5
The concept is great. Pixel art exploration adventure but as a twin stick shooter. This has been begging for a mobile or portable version since it first came out. Some of the puzzles are finicky where you have to bump into a cave entrance that you cannot see until you just bump into what looks like a wall. I was stuck for a while because of that. Otherwise very fun.
- rktca · v1.5
Wish I could get my money back. Was fun until I had to jump over gaps & boosters almost never work, plus going in a straight line is basically impossible. Just wasted $6 on a poorly made game 👎
- Gssvurenk · v1.5
The second place with the skull stone I can’t even be any of the areas I die every time even when the bullets don’t hit me, I take damage and makes the second skull stone, impossible for me to even beat
- T dogs review · v1.5
If you like you heart getting torn out, this game is for you. First hour of play works and then it crashes constantly.
- MK Spnkr · v1.5
Lo terminé en 4 días el mejor juego que e jugado en años. Me recuerda a los juegos del gameboy
- Emmaromer · v1.5
The controls are unusable almost impossible to go in a straight line. The button to boost and jump over gaps almost never works twice in a row. You have to hit the button exactly it feels like if you are a pixel off you don’t dash at all and fall into the gap. Needs to be completely reworked. Don’t buy until then.
- timriggins33 · v1.5
Awesome game, love all of the mechanics. One issue…when using a Bluetooth controller, please make the on screen buttons disappear. Other than that, 10/10!
- App_Addict101 · v1.5
Keep getting kicked out of game during first level. 1/5
- Whatisgoingonhere???? · v1.5
I spend the money so I could play this fun looking game, it crashes every second though, it doesn’t run and I have an up to date IPhone if you were curious. Misleading sadly.
- Youzernayme · v1.5
Amazing game if you like any of the top down Zelda games specially the first one your going to love this game. It’s too good to pass up. It’s a crime it doesn’t have 5 stars.
- orvin13 · v1.5
Very fun and well made game. Two main things that need some work. The controls for boosting feels like it doesn’t register by finger half the time. Other thing and very infuriating is a bug I am experiencing in the 3rd dungeon in which it appears that my key somehow despawned and now o have no way to access the rest of the dungeon and can’t get another one. Completely game breaking and stop my entire run from progressing…
- Davidbous · v1.5
I really am enjoying the game, great progression and exploration..a winner in my book. Butttt this game is crashing non stop, have had it exit me out of the game 4 times now in the last 45 minutes. Please fix this issue, a bummer to pay for a game and have it failing consistently…really takes you out of the experience when it resets you at pivotal parts of the story.
- Tortoise Ring · v1.5
I can’t finish the intro cutscene after a few seconds it crashes why? I spent 6 dollars on this!
- Butter kid 5000 · v1.5
Just started playing and everything is excellent. Love what’s going on here. One incredibly minor quirk: controller should work at the start. Have to use touch to begin game and select saves. Not really a problem though. Cheers to the developer!
- MajesticLobster · v1.5
It’s a really fun game but it keeps crashing and kicking me out of the game when ever I enter a cave.
- Kingchunk1 · v1.5
I really enjoyed playing this game it wasn’t one of those games that you have to retry fighting a boss 1000 times to beat it wasn’t irritating it was very fun but it wasn’t too easy either it was a perfect balance and I loved the progression of it
- Michshoulle · v1.5
Really cool game held back by atrociously bad touch controls. The number of times I have died simply because I did not put my finger exactly in the right spot is frustrating. Other games fix this by having the joysticks “move” whenever you touch within a certain area…if this were implemented, easy five stars.
- Kelenelvial · v1.5
Keeps crashing as soon as I start the first level.
- DwaineJade · v1.5
This I found on switch and it was a great game. It reminded me of Zelda for Super Nintendo link to past. Then I seen it coming to mobile and preordered it. It has to be one of the best games I have played this year. So if you want a really fun game to play on mobile then you should definitely try this and the price is very reasonable. I would have paid $10 for this on mobile. Thanks for making this on mobile to developers and maybe yall can make a sequel or even another game like it in future.
- D4RKM3SSI4H_83 · v1.5
I’d heard great things about it on Switch 2, but finally pulled the trigger once it came to iOS. So far I’m having a blast, touch controls work well enough so far (but I may use a controller once the difficulty picks up more). My one complaint is I wish it supported higher than 60fps. As someone who’s been gaming on iOS for over a decade, higher graphics options that current phones can’t support is always something I want. Makes the games more future proof.
