EUROGAMER (Rating 9/10):
"rRootage Online is why Kenta Cho releases his games in the way he does; it's now got a chance to hit a new audience, and be enjoyed by many more people, in what feels like the definitive version."
APP SPY (Rating: 4/5):
"...for those who consider themselves fans of the shmup genre, this is without a doubt a must buy."
TOUCHARCADE:
"Anyone who enjoys a nice 2D shooter should grab this one instantly."
WHATSONIPHONE (Rating: 4.5/5):
"rRootage is a classic game faithfully rendered on the iphone"
FINGERGAMING:
"rRootage offers much more variety than the typical App Store shoot-’em-up [...]. Shooter fans should definitely check this one out."
POCKETGAMER:
"The fact that this gem is available on the App Store is great news."
THEPORTABLEGAMER:
"If R-Type was too simple for you, or DoDonPachi Resurrection was something you completed with one eye closed while doing one handed pushups, then this is worthy of your time and money."

Game:
Control your ship and avoid the barrage. Use the laser to destroy the battleship of the enemy. You can cause more damage if you fire the laser close to the enemy. When all ships are destroyed, the game is over. The ship extends at 200,000 and every 500,000 points.
. Normal Mode
This is the standard game mode.
- Special -> Bomb
The bomb wipes enemyies bullets. The number of bombs are displayed at the left-down corner.
. PSY Mode
As your ship grazes a bullet, the graze meter (displayed at the right-down corner) increases. When the graze meter becomes full, the ship becomes invincible for a while.
- Special -> Rolling
This movement widens the range the ship can graze.
. IKA Mode
Your ship has two attributes, white and black. All bullets also have these attributes, and your ship can absorb bullets that have the same attribute. Absorbed bullets are changed into lasers automatically.
- Special -> Attribution change
Change your ship’s attribute.
. GW Mode
Your ship can use the reflector. The reflector reflects bullets around your ship.
- Special -> Reflector
To use the reflector, you have to activate special until the reflector meter (displayed at the left-down corner) becomes empty. You can use the reflector only if the reflector meter displays 'OK'.

A perfect port, but...

This is an amazing port of the game; it runs like butter on my 2nd gen touch. There are problems that need to be adjusted immediately: - Online scores don't work, and there is no way to register your screen name - Game doesn't save your progress. When you beat a level the grey square changes color to indicate you cleared the level, but when you exit the app and return everything is grey again This is the best port of rRootage, if these two problems are fixed, I'll be a very very happy man!
Yes

Honestly i don't know if this is any different than lazrhog's port, but it doesn't matter. Great port of a great game, and FREE! If you haven't heard of this game you are in for a new kind of shooter experience. If you can manage to not be turned off by the focus of the game being on dodging rather than shooting then you will love this game. If you're not dumb, download this now.
Great port

I played lazrhogs port for a long time but was dismayed that it never had the sound or music. This version adds the original music and sound, as well as some framerate and graphic enhancements. I would give this 5 stars but the controls could be more consistent. In ika mode, sometimes I can switch modes with a quick tap, sometimes it takes a double tap or a firm press to switch. In the later levels this can mean life or death.
Fantastic! Parsec 47 next, please!

Simply a stellar port of rRootage. Used to play this all the time on my notebook and older Mac, as well as a certain other Kenta Cho title; p47, another top-down shooter with the same graphical style, but way different gameplay. Think you could craft up a similarly well-done version of p47 before summer ends? I'd absolutely love to see it. If rR Online is any indication, it'll be a blast. Five stars, keep up the good work.
What an Amazing app!!!!

Honestly, I don't understand why this app isn't one of the top rated apps on the app store! I hope the dev ports more of kenta cho's fine games onto the iDevices. Keep up the amazing work :)
Awesome awesome awesome

Reminds me of Rez in 2D. Controls easily, simplistic look but neat in design. Awesome beats with tracks that change every stage ( which consist of 5 levels). Give it a chance especially if you're a shooter fan. Getting it for free is a serious bargain. Only issue is that the app won't log off when you hit the home button which drains battery. Needs to be seriously looks into.
Yaa...pretty sick game
Cotnijoe
Duh a freaking good game... cept they gotta work on the "online" part of the game... Highscores fail to show up too often. Still awesome game tho!!
I hope more people love this game

This is my first rate and review on all the games I purchased, approx. 50+. All I want to say here is that it's a great shooting game: simple but really challenging, the music is awesome, there are 40 levels to complete in the arcade, so much replay value and it's for free. It's a must-have for shooting game lover.
