This game is awesome. If they'd just utilize the sdk available for ion's icade support this game would be retro bliss!!!

Is it really worth 5 bucks? No. Is it really that addictive? No. Is it absolutely stunning for iPod? No. My recommendation would be to get Space Invaders Infinity Gene or Groove Coaster or either Bust-A-Move or Bubble Bobble Double or even Arkanoid! But this?...... Not worth a whole 5 bucks!
Port that is faithful to the original.

I purchased this games because I have spent much time playing this as a kid in the arcade. I like this port for a number of reasons. First, as a retro-gamer, I am particular about a game being emulated/recreated to be faithful to the original. This version of Space Invaders does this very well. I especially liked how the developer recreated the different looks with the overlays, color, and black/white. This was a nice touch. The original art, which appeared on the arcade machine are also provided. Second, I praise the developer for recreating the original feel of the controls, at least as well as could be done on a touch platform. The ship moves at the speed as it did in the arcade. Lastly, the genius of this port is also in what it did not try to do, which is try to recreate the original game, which was only several thousand kilobytes into a game that takes about 40 or 50 megabytes. Too many other ports do this and thereby lose the feel of the original. This developer kept it sweet, simple, and to the point, which is recreating the original arcade experience. A landscape option (as others have noted) would be nice, but it does not make or break the game in my opinion. It is most playable on touch devices the way it is. My only complaint of this port is the cost. $4.99 is a bit steep in my opinion, though I guess one could argue: then why did you purchase it if you thought it was too expensive? If you really loved this game then I recommend it (even at the expensive price).

It's good. You just need a bigger screen and a local or online leader board and it'd be awesome.
Junk without landscape

They nailed the retro graphics and sounds but the screen in to small without landscape. The controls are a little bit clunky
Awesome!

If you liked Space Invaders as a kid, you will love this game! It is perfectly recreated by the company that originally made it. You can choose different screen options that make it look like the original monochrome version or the later partial and full-color versions. I feel like I'm a kid again! Even my 9-year-old son is really enjoying it, too. There's just something about the classics. Thanks, Taito! Go retro!
Control issuesl
Sound Hog
Controls on different setting all seem to be lagging in sensitivity and delay on joy stick or buttons..making it really hard to make accurate moves! Not sure why they can't fix the issue as this should not have any glitches for a price of $4.99
Crap

Small screen, slow controls, no multi tasking. Game should be landscape not portrait!!! Save your money!!!
