What players say
Players praise Flying Shark as a classic arcade shmup from Toaplan, but opinions split on this port's emulation quality. The game is extremely difficult, with fast enemy bullets and losing weapon upgrades on death making it nearly impossible without assist features. Some say the version feels off compared to other ports, while others appreciate modern conveniences like rewind and autofire options.
